Mario Draghi braces for 2017 polls

If you thought this year has already exceeded the limit for political upheavals, Mario Draghi is warning there may not be much respite in 2017.

Asked about the election of Donald Trump as US president, the head of the ECB offered his perspective not just on what he called the “radically new US administration”, but also Brexit and the Italian referendum that cost prime minister Matteo Renzi his job this month.

National votes in the Netherlands, France and Germany could further muddy the outlook, he said.
