ECB’s Schnabel Says She’d Be ‘Ready’ to Succeed Lagarde If Asked

European Central Bank Executive Board member Isabel Schnabel said she’d be willing to take over as president when Christine Lagarde’s term ends in less than two years.

Asked about views that it’s time for a German to lead the ECB and whether she could be that person, Schnabel said in an interview that “if I was asked, I would stand ready.”
