Sources have told Reuters the government is set to revise its 2019 growth forecast to just above zero.

Il Sole 24 Ore daily reported on Wednesday the government targeted a growth of around 0.2 percent this year with a deficit of 2.3 percent of gross domestic product even after taking into account a planned package of fiscal stimulus measures.
