  • [01] Bank of Cyprus disagrees with Troika proposals on banking consolidation

    Bank of Cyprus expressed its disagreement over proposals tabled by the Troika of the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund concerning the consolidation of the Cypriot banking sector.

    Andreas Artemis, Chairman of the Bank of Cyprus, Cyprus' largest bank said the bank disagrees with the proposal by Troika that the Central Bank of Cyprus should direct all banking groups in the island to increase the minimum Core Tier 1 capital ration from the present 8% to 10% and to maintain this level for the duration of the adjustment programme to be agreed between the Troika and Cyprus.

    He also expressed the bank's disagreement on the Troika proposal that the administrative hurdles and legislative framework that currently constraints the seizure and sale of loan collateral should be amended so that the property pledged as collateral can be seized and offered for sale within a maximum time-span of 1.5 years. The Troika believes that this proposal, if implemented, would minimize the incentives for strategic default by borrowers.
