Italy EconMin Tria: EU forecast in sharp contrast with Italy's estimates

Italy's Finance Minister Giovanni Tria was out on the wires in the last hour and confirmed government's commitments to 2.4% 2019 deficit.

Key quotes:

   •  EU Commission forecasts will not interfere with government's talks with commissioners.
   •  EU forecast in sharp contrast with Italy government estimates and due to the partial reading of our budget.
   •  EU technical fault won’t influence dialogue with the government.
