Christine Lagarde: Interview with NOS Nieuwsuur Transcript of the interview with Ms Christine Lagarde, President of the European Central Bank, and NOS Nieuwsuur, conducted by Ms Mariëlle Tweebeeke on 12 December 2019 and broadcast (in part) on 12 December 2019. * * *  Christine Lagarde, thank you so much for making time for us today. It’s really appreciated.
A special day; you’ve just had your first press conference as President of the ECB. Had you ever thought you would be President of a central bank? No! Never, but I never thought I would be Managing Director of the IMF, and I never thought I would be Minister of Economy and Finance for France, so my life has been like that.
