European Commission Vice
President Valdis Dombrovskis said Monday that the EU executive
had received an updated version of Italy's economic and
financial document (DEF).
The new version of the blueprint has an improved outlook,
with GDP now forecast to rise 1.5% this year, a deficit of 2.1%
of GDP and debt dropping to 131.6%.
"Italy has notified us of the changes in the DEF,"
Dombrovskis said.
"The update sees an improvement in the growth and employment
outlook".
He added that a detailed analysis of the figures will come in
the EC's autumn package.
