Italy keeps rejected spending targets, reigniting fears of EU face-off: reports
The Italian government failed to produce a revised deficit target requested by the European Commission, with Rome officials instead saying they would stick to a budget deficit that is 2.4% of gross domestic product and economic growth that is a 1.5% of GDP for its 2019 budget plan, according to Bloomberg News. Italy was slated to resubmit a new proposal on Tuesday with a failure to do so likely intensifying a dispute with the European Union because the original draft ran afoul of eurozone fiscal rules. Citing an official from the far-right League, Bloomberg said the Italian government will defend its proposal, which had already been rejected by eurozone officials. The 10-year Italian government bond yield was flat at 3.450%, while the 10-year German bond yield was up 2.2 basis points to 0.410%. The euro strengthened against the U.S. dollar, rising 0.4%, with the dollar changing hands at $1.1261, compared with with $1.1220 late Monday.
