00:00I have just informed my fellow policy makers and staff at the European Central Bank that
00:06I will be stepping down with effect on February 7th, 2027 after Monetary Policy Governing Council.
00:13It has been a great pride and a huge privilege to serve this institution
00:19and I want to thank all those who have contributed, supported and delivered on the mission that we have
00:25in Europe. Be a rock, be solid, deliver price stability, financial stability and I think that
00:33I leave this institution with a sense of good work done and an ECB that is fit for the future.
