Euro-area finance ministers are due to review the nominations at their 9 November meeting. The deadline begins the selection process; no successor has yet been appointed.

Lagarde announced in late October that she would leave early in February 2027. EU countries will appoint the next president on a recommendation from the countries using the euro.
