MEPs focus on challenges dealing with Europe’s economic system with Lagarde

The European Parliament holds its second monetary dialogue with Christine Lagarde, President of the European Central Bank (ECB), since the start of the new legislature.

Economic governance, geo-political risks, and the cost of living are all expected to feature prominently in the discussion.

Organised by Parliament’s economic and monetary affairs committee four times per year, the exercise is foreseen in Parliament’s mission to hold the ECB accountable. The current meeting takes place after the ECB decided to lower key interest rates, continuing the change initiated in June.
