ROME (Reuters) - Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte will see his top ministers on Monday to discuss the 2019 budget, which has been rejected by the European Commission, government sources said.

A separate government source told Reuters on Sunday that the economy minister was looking to revise down the budget’s growth forecast for next year to try to reach a deal with the Commission over fiscal policy.

The Commission gave Rome until Tuesday to present a new budget and could start disciplinary steps against Rome later this month.
