    george Vassiliou:memorandum Is A guide To Action

    To choose an interlocutor for this issue was easy to decide. Proficient economist and analyst George Vassiliou formulated the pros and cons of the memorandum, which Cyprus had signed with potential lenders. Mr. Vassiliou clearly described what is happening today in Cyprus. And, of course, having a lot of experience and a wide breadth of vision, he was also able to tell us about the underlying causes and consequences.

    what happens to Cyprus today? what is the situation with its economy? what can we expect in the future? It is impossible to examine the Cypriot economy out of common scheme. But it is obvious that Cyprus today is in a serious financial crisis. I consider that the Memorandum offers the professional, serious and clear analysis of the situation.

    do you think the memorandum is a guidance document now? That is simple. Businessmen in Cyprus, Cypriot and foreigners, were much concerned about the uncertainty that existed in the past. That has changed upon the Memorandum having been signed. In the first instance, Cyprus remained in the EU and secondly, it allowed Cyprus to follow its financial obligations; eventually Cyprus will apply all necessary measures to become a competitive state.

    The memorandum concerns taxation as well. How do you think it will help the Cyprus economy to recover, if existing taxes are raised or new taxes applied? Certainly, a lot shall be changed. Taxes are paid in each and every country and in Cyprus as well. Of course raising VAT to 18 percent is not ideal but lets remember there are some countries where VAT is as high as 25 percent. Therefore it would be unworthy to aggravate a situation. Just read the Memorandum there are no cardinal changes to the Cyprus taxation system written there.

    There are thousands of Russians in Cyprus, who have lived and worked here for a long time; what would you like to tell them? Firstly, they should not worry about their deposits in the banks those are state guaranteed and will be paid out if banks merge or experience reforms. Secondly, the

    functionality basics remain unchanged for the international companies in Cyprus. Thirdly, during the last period correct steps were taken to improve the economic situation in Cyprus. The country will remain an attractive jurisdiction for international business. And lastly, I hope that whoever the future president may be, he will listen to my proposal about a casino in Cyprus.

    what do you propose? Its simple: I suggest the opening of one large casino and to give permission for several small casinos one per each town. The casino revenues should be imposed by taxes, so that the state may have the profit. This is live money, a good and timely addition to the countrys current budget. By the way the Memorandum has a special tax tariff on all kinds of gambling. what do you think of Cyprus as an energy center? Im sure Cyprus will become an energy center.

    Please tell us in a few words about your research into international business problems in Cyprus, which you started about one year ago. The research is completed, but I have to add some information about the financial crisis. Currently Im finishing off. This is research about the steps to be taken to increase the efficiency of the system and to help international companies. All that I wish is that the new President will keep his promises. All the candidates understand how important international business is for Cyprus.

    Please explain briefly what steps should be taken to make Cyprus more attractive for international companies? Its important to overcome the bureaucracy, to reduce the period of registration of international companies, to guarantee that in case of any problems they will get help sooner than what exists currently. But to obtain all these, the system of a one-stop-shop should be imposed. This is an authority of complex services which will be engaged only with international companies affairs. The same applies with taxes; all international companies will apply to the same authority. Only in this way will international companies feel secure and reassured and efficiency will increase.

    during a Crisis Be Aware of The danger, But Recognize The Opportunity

    The Cyprus Bail-out: Challenges, Opportunities and lessons from greece

    Sovereign debt crises always spark struggles between creditors and debtors over who should suffer losses. Since the Greek crisis exploded nearly three years ago, those fights have played out in eurozone summits and finance ministers meetings and have been covered feverishly by the global media. There are issues beyond market forces that decide the direction of todays economic environment and capital markets (i.e. geopolitical issues). Monetary policy alone is not enough to deal with the situation We cannot have a common currency, a common monetary policy, and leave everything else to the states involved. That is why the 17 will have to go further Mr Van Rompuy, Oct 2011. What action did European leaders take and practically implement, in order to save Europe? We are still waiting to see whether national interests are above European Unions future. Cypriot Reality salvation or damnation?Cyprus seems to be entering a course of agreement with its creditors for the support program, with European officials implying that it may take another few weeks for its finalization. Only a slight outflow of deposits was observed, while on an annual basis deposits increased 0.9% in the Cypriot banking system. All the developments along with the banking restructuring in Cyprus will affect the short term economic environment. Cypriot Banks need to amalgamate (or merge) and there is room for only two local banks on the island. The exact amount of the bailout cannot be determined until after the PIMCO report (independent consultant hired by the Central Bank) is completed. The country may need as much as 17.5 bln euros in aid (10 bln for the Banks and 6 bln euros to refinance the state debt from 2013 to 2016 and 1.5bln euros to cover fiscal deficits).

    This article evaluates the basic elements of the Cyprus bail-out package and compares how this programme and the fundamental economic situation of Cyprus compare with that of Greece. It concludes that if implemented properly and proactively by Cypriot public authorities, this programme will have short-term recession impacts, but over the long term will restore the competitiveness and a disciplined fiscal framework to the Cypriot public sector. It will no resolve the fundamental risks that the Cypriot economy accrues as an international financial centre. And it contains significant implementation risks which will spill over into the general economy and affect future national priorities, including the development of the offshore oil and gas sector. The Cyprus Bail Out, or the extension of emergency loans from the Troika in exchange of austerity as a condition of the loans, has not yet been agreed by the time this article goes to press. Although the conditionality document was released to press, the implementing laws have not yet been voted on, and negotiations between the Government of Cyprus and the Troika continue. Furthermore, the precise terms of the loan agreement remain undefined. Press reports indicate a loan agreement of between EUR 14 and 17.5 billion is under consideration, and that the following loans are being negotiated: a. EUR 10 bln will be used for bank recapitalisationb. EUR 6 bln to refinance existing government debt between 2013-2016c. EUR 1.5 bln to cover state deficits.The Cypriot Minister of Finance, Vassos Shiarly, has indicated that an interest rate of 2.5% and a loan term of 30 years are being considered. The Parliament of Cyprus is debating the first of several bills translating this loan conditionality into national law. Ultimately, the current government has been forced to sign a challenging bail-out deal. The next government will have to implement it, unless a cross-party effort is made to address the very serious structural and fiscal challenges in the Memorandum but also in the wider economy.

    Two Things Are Inevitable In life - death and Taxes

    Benjamin franklin

    Oil-and-gas Prospects of The Eastern mediterranean

    Any state shall live on something, and the main source of its income is the tax system. Thus the main source of tax revenues are taxes on labor - almost half of all taxes in the EU.The most striking example of this is income tax. There is not only the financial function of income tax, but also the social function. The purpose is to smooth over the disadvantages of taxation and involve the wealth segment of people in greater participation for the fulfillment of the tax burden.Cyprus has a progressive rate of income tax.In addition, from January 1, 2012 there exists a temporary tax. And over the next two years, those who work in the private sector are required to make contributions to the state budget on the basis of salary. This fee is calculated as a percentage of gross salary and paid by both employees and employers.where does the money go?Income tax is the main source of income of developed countries (50% of total tax revenue) and it accounts for all kinds of social programs: free housing and scholarships, social benefits and payments to the indigents.And who does not pay?Zero or very low income tax rates in some countries exist for several reasons:First, the population of these countries is very low. Second, they either do not have social protection systems (Cayman Islands), or have other sources of funding.

    How much oil and gas could be found there?The oil-and-gas prospects of the Eastern Mediterranean is extremely high, something that was first mentioned by Russian scientists-geologists 30 years ago, according to the first hydrographic and regional geophysical works results. We are talking about the Levantine sedimentary basin (former Phoenician concave).The geological recourses of hydrocarbons of Levantine basin could be valued at 4 billion tons of oil equivalents; extracted by modern methods of natural occurrence exploitation, these could be valued at 3 billion tons of oil equivalents where there is 300 million tons of oil and 2,7 trillion cubic meters of gas.How much has been found?Huge recourses of Israeli Leviathan field (453 billion cubic meters of gas and probably 500 million tons of oil) and Tamar (207 billion cubic meters), Dalit (14 billion cubic meters), Cypriot Aphrodite deposit (100 million cubic meters) are well-known nowadays. However, we shouldnt forget all the great numbers are not proven reserves that have been counted by tough western standards yet but the forecasts of expected stocks, opinions of the operating companies that are based on interpretation of seismic information and information from the one or two drillings only. Ecology of Eastern mediterraneanPlease dont forget and about the ecological problems inevitably resulting in conducting exploration and production operations at sea. Deep-sea drilling is performed from a vessel or from fixed platforms, whose supports are mounted on the seabed. As a result, drilling is inevitable creating local discontinuity of seabed, sometimes at a very considerable depth. Boring liquid is pumped into the oil well, liquid contains chemical components which relieve the process of drilling. From the depth of the oil well highly mineralized hydrothermal solutions and oil are penetrating into the surface of the bottom of the sea. They pollute not only the surface but the water column, and the sea surface for many kilometers around.

    EXECUTIVE SUMMARIES

    summing up The year...

    This year was marked by significant developments made on the Cypriot legal front. Of particular importance were the changes made to the countrys migration provisions as they related to third-country nationals, the modernization of the International Trust (Consolidated) Law of 1992, the adoption of a Yacht Leasing Scheme, and the signing or ratification of a number of double tax treaties. Amended migration Provisions Relating to Third-Country nationalsA new and accelerated procedure for attaining immigration permit F was introduced this year, to be applied in cases where third country nationals are intent on investing in the islands property market. The showing of a secured minimum annual income of 30.000 from sources other than employment in Cyprus. The submission of the title of ownership or the contract of sale for a Cypriot property with a minimum market value of 300.000.

    The economic adjustment programme will address short- and medium-term financial, fiscal and structural challenges facing Cyprus. The key programme objectives are: to restore the soundness of the Cypriot banking sector by thoroughly restructuring, resolving and downsizing financial institutions, strengthening of supervision, addressing expected capital shortfall and improving liquidity management; to continue the on-going process of fiscal consolidation in order to correct the excessive general government deficit, in particular through measures to reduce current primary expenditure, and maintain fiscal consolidation in the medium-term, in particular through measures to increase the efficiency of public spending within a medium-term budgetary framework, enhance revenue collection and improve the functioning of the public sector; and to implement structural reforms to support competitiveness and sustainable and balanced growth, allowing for the unwinding of macroeconomic imbalances, in particular by reforming the wage indexation system and removing obstacles to the smooth functioning of services markets.

    1. financial sector regulation and supervisionKey ObjectivesThe banking sector has been severely affected by the broader European economic and sovereign crisis, in particular through its exposure to Greece. However, many of the problems for the sector are home-grown and relate to overexpansion in the property market as consequence of banks poor risk management practices. Furthermore, the financial sector is vulnerable because of its size relative to that of the domestic economy. The handling of problems in the sector has been complicated by the sensitivity of collateral valuations to property prices, and banks have used certain gaps in the supervisory framework to delay the recognition of loan losses, thus leading to significant under-provisioning. The banking sector needs to be thoroughly reformed and restructured in depth in line with state-aid rules. The solvency of viable banks will be reinforced by restoring capital, their liquidity situation will be addressed, the non-performing assets will be tackled, and financial regulation and supervision, including those of the cooperative credit institutions, will be strengthened along with the crisis management mechanisms.
