Lucrezia Reichlin works at the level where economic signals are identified, interpreted and acted upon. As former Director of Research at the European Central Bank, she was responsible for analysing complex data to inform policy decisions during periods of uncertainty and financial stress.

Her perspective is grounded in how economies are understood in real time, where information is incomplete and judgement matters. She focuses on how data, models and experience come together to shape decisions, and how leaders interpret signals when conditions are changing. Her work increasingly reflects how AI and advanced analytics are reshaping the way economic insight is generated and applied.
