Carlo Cottarelli (Italian pronunciation: [ˈkarlo kottaˈrɛlli]; born 18 August 1954) is an Italian economist and former director of the International Monetary Fund.[1][2]

On 28 May 2018 he was designated Prime Minister of Italy by President Sergio Mattarella, to lead a caretaker government that would bring Italy toward new elections.[3][4] However, after few days, the Five Star Movement and the League reached an agreement and a new government, led by Giuseppe Conte, was formed.[5]
