Reuters reports, citing a domestic news source
- 2019 deficit seen around 2.4% of GDP
This gives more credence to the report yesterday that Italy looks set to trim its current growth forecast of 0.6%. The story here also says that Italy has a planned growth boosting package that may lift GDP to 0.2% and also trim its deficit to 2.3% of GDP.
Right, because that scant 0.1% is going to make all the difference.
