There may be trouble ahead...

A sudden sell-off has wiped half a cent off the value of the euro, sending it down to $1.289 against the US dollar.

Two rumours, both currently unsubstantiated, are to blame.

1) that the Cypriot finance minister Michalis Sarris, has offered to resign, but has had the offer rejected by president Anastasiades.

This is running on several newswires, but we don't yet have any official confirmation.

2) That the vote on the bailout package will go ahead tonight, but that the government MPs will not support the plan, meaning it certainly fails.

That's via the BBC's Athens correspondent, Mark Owen.

I would be interested to know who originally suggested the 'savings tax' or whatever you call it.

Was it the Krauts saying that is the only way they will lend anything, or Analstastides offering it as the easy way to top up the Cypriot side?

Turnip Futures are up 12%

Time to promote yummy and economical turnip recipes amongst the population of Cyprus, you say?

We are fucked .......can the EAC afford to carry on ..........

[Nick]

Previous EU experience suggests they will be made to vote again until they vote "correctly". It's the German way. But you are certainly fucked. I hear the RAF is fling millions in cash in for the squaddies. This is getting serious for the whole of Europe and beyond now.

[Barman]

Only time will tell if they have been incredibly brave or incredibly stupid....

Or...

Только время покажет, если они были невероятно храбрый или невероятно глупо ....

As we have to say from now on....

What are the odds that #Cyprus's banks reopen before Easter?

 

[Marley's Ghost (Imbiber of Spirits)]

The longer they keep them in "lockdown" the bigger the run will be when they do re-open!
