The international role of the euro grew moderately in 2025, and it remains the world’s second most important currency.

There’s an opening for the euro to boost its global appeal, provided policymakers create the right conditions and put words into action https://t.co/neFbYGt1t2

As François Villeroy de Galhau’s term as Governor of the Banque de France comes to an end, I thank him for his outstanding service to Europe and his strong contribution to shaping monetary policy.

Tous mes vœux pour cette nouvelle étape, François !

This week, I will visit our six Western Balkans partners.

My visit to the region sends a clear signal: our commitment to the Western Balkans is real; and so is the opportunity of enlargement.

The momentum is there. Now is the time to deliver.

My dear Luis, it’s been a privilege to serve alongside you.

Congratulations on receiving the Charlemagne Prize, dear Mario.

Well deserved, Mr Euro.

Congratulations, dear Mario, on receiving the Charlemagne Prize.

You exemplify true European statesmanship: answering the call when it mattered most and helping Europe emerge stronger.

Your “whatever it takes” commitment showed the euro is irreversible.
