Mario Monti has handed in his resignation to Italy’s president, bringing to a close his 13-month technocrat government and preparing the country for new elections.
President Giorgio Napolitano accepted the resignation on Friday evening and asked Monti to stay on as head of a caretaker government until the vote, expected in February.
Monti kept his pledge to step down as soon as parliament gives final passage to the budget law.
In what was his last official public act as premier, Monti earlier told foreign diplomats in Rome on Friday that his technocrat government had rendered the country ‘more trustworthy’.
He cited structural reforms, such as measures to improve competition and liberalise services, as well as the recently approved anti-corruption law.
