MILAN (Reuters) - Italian oil and gas group Eni <ENI.MI> said on Wednesday it would reduce its capital expenditure this year by around 2 billion euros (1.8 billion pounds) to mitigate the impact from falling commodity prices following the coronavirus emergency.

Planned capex will be cut by around 2.5-3.0 billion euros next year, it added.

"We are taking these actions in order to defend our robust balance sheet and the dividend while maintaining the highest standards of safety at work," Eni CEO Claudio Descalzi said in a statement.

Eni expects 2020 output of between 1.8 and 1.84 million barrels of oil equivalent per day and the same for next year.
