ROME, Sept 28 (Reuters) - Italy’s government forecasts that the economy will grow by 6% this year, two government sources said on Tuesday, while the budget deficit will come in at 9.5% of gross domestic product (GDP). The 6% GDP growth forecast is an upward revision from a projection of 4.5% set in April, while the new deficit forecast of 9.5% is a sharp reduction from the previous 11.8% estimate. The new forecasts were agreed at a meeting of key coalition figures on Tuesday and will be formalised in the government’s Economic and Financial Document (DEF) to be approved by the cabinet on Wednesday.
