On Wednesday, October 23, at 10:00 a.m. ET, the Atlantic Council will host a virtual #ACFrontPage event featuring Christine Lagarde, president of the European Central Bank (ECB). Lagarde will offer insights into the ECB’s recent moves to tackle inflation in the euro area. This fireside chat takes place during IMF-World Bank Week at the Atlantic Council and will be moderated by Frederick Kempe, president and CEO of the Atlantic Council.

The discussion comes at a pivotal moment, as central banks in advanced economies have begun cutting interest rates. Lagarde will address how the ECB is managing inflation while navigating an environment of structural challenges and geopolitical conflict.
