He was president of Bocconi University from 1989 to 1994.

In 1970s, when he worked for Italian commercial bank, domestic inflation was serious. Mario Monti took the lead in calculating the reasonable money supply after deducting the price factor in the Italian market. When he was in charge of a committee of the Ministry of Finance in 1981, he pushed for the relaxation of overseas investment policy.

From 1989 to 1994, he served as president of Bocconi University. Then, he was appointed by Prime Minister Berlusconi to the European Commission as a member responsible for internal market affairs. From 1999 to 2004, he served as a member responsible for competition affairs.

As prime minister

After the news that Monti, a 68 year old economist nicknamed "Super Mario", will become prime minister of Italy's interim government came out, not only did the yield of Italian 10-year Treasury bonds fall below 7%, but also European and American stock markets rebounded. When an economist becomes prime minister, why does it boost the market so much? Lucas, a senior Italian media person, said that in fact, the market does not know what Monti can bring to Italy, but everyone thinks that Berlusconi's departure is a good thing.

Lucas said that the market's evaluation of Berlusconi has always been negative. During his reign, Italy's economy was weak and the growth rate was less than 1%. Especially in the face of the debt crisis, his carelessness let us miss a good opportunity. As for the changes in Italian politics, International Monetary Fund president Lagarde seriously said that Italy is making efforts to deal with the debt crisis, but it is more important to maintain political stability than tightening policy and choosing an economist to take charge of the government.

Economist Papademos was appointed Prime Minister of the Greek coalition government in the face of crisis, and now the Prime Minister of Italy's transitional government will also be an economist. The academies suddenly became popular in politics.

As the third largest economy in the euro zone, Italy has a total debt of 1.9 trillion euros, more than the combined debt of Greece, Ireland, Portugal and Spain. On November 13, 2011, Italian president Napolitano officially appointed Mario Monti as prime minister to form a transitional government.

On November 9, 2011, Monti was appointed a lifetime Senator by President Napolitano;

On November 13, 2011, Italian president Napolitano formally appointed Mario Monti as prime minister to form a transitional government after holding emergency consultations with leaders of various political parties.

On December 8, 2012, Monti announced his resignation. According to the statement of the Italian presidential office, Monti resigned because he was unable to continue to perform his duties as prime minister after losing the support of the liberal people's party. But Mr Monti said he would still seek support to pass the 2013 budget and the financial stability act.

On the evening of December 21, 2012, Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti formally submitted his resignation to President Napolitano. This means that because of the fall of Berlusconi's Government in November, the non party expert government, which was "in danger", stepped down early. Monti resigned, and the current government will continue to handle the daily affairs of the country as a caretaker government until the official end of its mission after the election of a new cabinet next year.

Then the new cabinet members held an swearing in ceremony at the presidential palace. The Italian presidential palace issued a statement saying that President Napolitano expressed satisfaction with the establishment of the transitional government and congratulated the government on its birth in a positive atmosphere. Napolitano said in a statement that the process of forming a government is not easy, and it is a completely strange job for Monti, but with the joint efforts of all, Monti has found the most suitable person. Napolitano believes that Monti's government will soon be recognized by European institutions. After the swearing in ceremony, Monti held a handover ceremony with former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi at the Italian Prime Minister's office. After about 15 minutes of closed door talks, Berlusconi handed Monti the bell symbolizing the power of the prime minister.
