Italy Treasury minister to speak on banks Tuesday

MILAN (Reuters) - Italy's Treasury minister will hold a news conference on Tuesday afternoon on "recent developments in the banking sector", the Treasury said in a note.

The conference will start at 1500 GMT, the Treasury said but gave no further details.

Italy is waiting for the European Commission to give its final green light to a state bailout for Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena (MI:BMPS) that should include heavy cost cuts and losses for some investors.
