  • Story Text: Italian Prime Minister-designate Mario Monti left his central Roman hotel on Tuesday (November 15) morning to meet the leaders of Italy's biggest two parties to discuss the "many sacrifices" needed to reverse a collapse in market confidence that is driving an ever deepening euro zone debt crisis.
    Monti is to conclude consultations on Tuesday morning to form a new government, one he hopes will last until 2013 and sort out Italy's deep economic problems.
    He is due to meet delegations from the two biggest blocs, Silvio Berlusconi's PDL and the leftist Democratic Party, as well as unions and representatives of youth and women's groups.
    Monti will pursue his efforts to secure enough support from Italy's feuding politicians to allow his cabinet of experts to speed up delivery of painful reforms of pensions, labour markets and business regulation needed to put Italy's finances on a sustainable footing.
