ROME, April 10 (Reuters) - Italy plans asset sales valued at close to 1% of GDP to keep its fragile state finances in check, the Treasury said on Wednesday, indicating it could have diluted previously announced plans.

Italy had said last September it wanted to raise proceeds from privatisation deals worth "at least" 1% of GDP over the three-year period 2024-2026.

The Treasury's Document of Economy and Finance (DEF), published on Wednesday, indicated new debt projections through 2027 factored in asset sales "with a cumulative value close to 1% of GDP."

Asked to clarify, the Treasury declined to provide further details. (Reporting by Giuseppe Fonte Editing by Keith Weir)
