The Netherlands has formally nominated former Dutch central bank governor Klaas Knot as a candidate to succeed Christine Lagarde as European Central Bank president, marking the first official step in the succession process after Lagarde announced she would leave the post early. The move puts Knot, who previously led De Nederlandsche Bank, into contention for one of the most influential roles in global monetary policy. The nomination opens what is expected to be a closely watched political process, with euro-area governments and EU institutions set to weigh candidates for the ECB's top job. What to watch next is whether other member states put forward rival nominees and how quickly a consensus can form, given the sensitivity of the appointment for eurozone interest-rate policy.
