Who should succeed Mario Draghi as president of the European Central Bank? That is the most important decision European governments will take this year. It is more important even than how they deal with an idiotic UK. It is more important than dealing with Donald Trump. It is more important than who will be presidents of the commission or council. The next president of the ECB might determine whether there is a eurozone, perhaps an EU, at the end of the term in 2027. Mr Draghi’s period has been that important. His successor’s might be equally so.
誰應該接替馬里奧•德拉吉(Mario Draghi)出任歐洲央行(ECB)行長？這是今年歐洲各國政府將會做出的最重要的決定。這件事甚至比他們如何應對一個愚蠢的英國更重要，也比與唐納•川普(Donald Trump)打交道更重要。這比由誰出任歐盟委員會(European Commission)或歐洲理事會(European Council)主席更重要。歐洲央行的下一任行長可能會在2027年任期結束時決定歐元區（也許是歐盟）的存亡。德拉吉的任期就是那麼重要。他的繼任者的任期也許同樣重要。
