The President of the European Central Bank responded to the Republican candidate for the White House on Tuesday, October 22.
The President of the European Central Bank (ECB) Christine Lagarde on Tuesday proposed to Republican candidate for the White House Donald Trump to come to “visit” in Frankfurt, after the criticism launched by the billionaire against the profession of central banker. “He should come and visit us”replied the head of the ECB, invited to speak on Tuesday October 22 at the offices of the Bloomberg agency in Washington DC on the occasion of the autumn meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank. “I have thousands of hard-working people, economists, lawyers, computer scientists, and I can assure you that they work hard every day, not just once a month”continued Christine Lagarde.
The former US president and candidate for the White House said during an event organized earlier this month, also by Bloomberg, that the role of central banker is “the best job within the administration” American. “You arrive at the office once a month (…) you toss a coin in the air. And everyone talks about you like a god”had quipped the billionaire who openly criticizes the president of the American Central Bank (Fed) Jerome Powell, whom he had appointed when he was president, on his choices in terms of monetary policy.
“We defend and fight for the euro in the same way that the Fed defends and fights for the dollar, I am sure. I don’t want to speak for Jerome Powell but I’m sure he also sees his work that way.also said Christine Lagarde on Tuesday.
