00:03I have just informed my fellow policy makers and staff at the European Central Bank
00:09that I will be stepping down with effect on February 7th, 2027, after Monetary Policy Governing Council.
00:17It has been a great pride and a huge privilege to serve this institution,
00:22and I want to thank all those who have contributed, supported and delivered on the mission that we have
00:29in Europe, be a rock, be solid, deliver price stability, financial stability,
00:35and I think that I leave this institution with a sense of good work done
00:43and an ECB that is fit for the future.
