ROME (Reuters) - The Italian government's official forecast for 0.6% economic growth in 2020 is "balanced and even cautious", Economy Minister Roberto Gualtieri said on Monday.
Speaking at a conference of business lobby Confindustria, he said last week's upward revision of first half growth figures by statistics agency ISTAT suggested that "both for 2019 and 2020 our forecasts aren't very optimistic but are more grounded in reality."
