Ireland withdraw BOI Lane's candidacy for ECB VP post

Irish fin min Donohoe just out on the wires 19 Feb

  • will support De Guindos so there will be a consensus for one candidate
  • decision is better by consensus

And then there was one.

No vote then likely if there is a consensus as per my preview . For "consensus" read compromise as those against get paid off in some form or fashion

Lane in the frame to replace Germany's Praet as Chief Economist next year so that will have been in the conversation mix no doubt.

Lane - out one door and in through another perhaps

Best in 2026
