Forecast Trend Report by Period
Isabel Schnabel, a member of the European Central Bank’s Executive Board, is poised to leave before the end of her term to take a senior role at the International Monetary Fund.
Cointelegraph, a cryptocurrency-focused media outlet, reported on September 24 that Schnabel is set to leave the ECB before completing her term, which was originally due to run through the end of 2027, to assume the IMF post. An announcement is said to be imminent, although neither the ECB nor the IMF has officially confirmed the move.
Schnabel recently emphasized that central banks also need to move on-chain as blockchain-based finance expands.
She has argued that central banks must make active use of distributed ledger technology if they are to maintain a central role in the financial system. They also need to be able to provide liquidity and conduct monetary policy in an on-chain environment.
