MILAN (Reuters) - Italy's fourth biggest bank Monte dei Paschi di Siena (MI:BMPS) will delay the release of first-half results, originally scheduled for July 28, as it awaits a state bailout, two sources close to the matter said on Tuesday.
The recapitalisation with 5.4 billion euros of public money - part of a plan to plug an 8.1 billion euro capital gap - is expected to take place in early August, the sources said.
