ROME (Reuters) - Italy's government approved an economic growth plan in the early hours of Wednesday after a bad-tempered cabinet meeting that exposed divisions in the ruling coalition and fuelled speculation about a government collapse.

The infighting overshadowed media coverage of the "growth decree" which called for tax breaks and investment incentives and for simplified procedures for public tenders.
