  • [01] FINANCE MINISTER - BANKS

    The Ministry of Finance will hold a written bidding process on Wednesday for the allotment of the 1.5 billion euros, raised during the issue of Cyprus` four-year bonds in international markets, Minister of Finance Charilaos Stavrakis said on Tuesday.

    ``The 1.5 billion euros are the product of the very successful issue of the Republic of Cyprus. These (funds) through a transparent written bidding process will be deposited to the banks and cooperative establishments offering the most competitive rates,`` Stavrakis said speaking to the press.

    Cyprus concluded last Monday the book building for the issue of 1.0 billion euro government bonds to international investors. The Finance Ministry increased the threshold to an issue of 1.5 billion euros after strong demand reaching around 5.4 billion euros. A total of 1.25 billion euros were allocated to international investors while 250 million euros were given to local investors.

    Stavrakis also said that the deposit of these funds to Cypriot commercial banks and cooperative establishments would constitute ``a significant liquidity injection in the Cypriot economy, leading to further interest rate cuts.``
