The European Central Bank extended a regime under which staff is allowed to work remotely for 110 days — about half the time — each year.

The decision prolongs current rules that permit as many as 10 monthly days away from the office until 2027, when a new review is planned, an ECB spokesperson said. Employees can work 90 of their 110 days outside of Frankfurt.
