The same man who called for a united Europe and spearheaded the euro currency in 1999 , Germany’s former finance minister Oskar LaFontaine has formally retracted his support for the troubled currency, and is calling for its abandonment.
Consistently weak data and little upward momentum in recovery has caused severe doubts about the shared financial responsibility that comes along with the continent-wide currency.
The current trajectory of the euro, LaFontaine argues, is [...]

Debt crisis: Cyprus wants to sell gold reserves:
Midst of the crisis Cyprus wants to sell some of its gold reserves. The government of the island nation threatened by bankruptcy is waiting for the approval of the Central Bank.
The reserves could be sold in the coming months, said Finance Minister Harris Georgiades to Bloomberg. The exact plan for this “serious decision” should be formulated by the Board of Governors of the Central Bank.

Cyprus civil servants, pensions could go unpaid
AFP – Civil servants and pensions in cash-strapped Cyprus could go unpaid this month because of a shortfall of at least 75 million euros ($97 million) in government coffers, an official warned on Monday.
Finance Minister Haris Georgiades, meanwhile, cautioned that leaving the eurozone would take Cyprus back “centuries” and insisted the island has no “Plan B” for reneging on a 10-billion-euro ($13-billion) bailout.

Enough is enough for the Cypriot finance minister – Michalis Sarris has handed in his notice, after securing the 10-billion-euro bailout that will see savers in two major banks pay the bill.

Interesting interview by Medvedev today who admitted that most Russian government agencies use Cyprus for it’s financial transactions.

-How corrupt does a country have to be for its government agencies to use a tax haven for financial transactions?
-From latest reports, the Cypriot banks might open on March 26th at the earliest. That’s two weeks after being shut down. That’s two weeks of unmet financial obligations, ie government employee [...]

A quarter of Cyprus bank deposits are Russian, so taxing them is unpopular in Moscow.
Russian officials are up in arms over a possible levy on Cyprus bank accounts, which Russian president Vladimir Putin denounced as “unfair, unprofessional and dangerous.” There’s good reason for their concern: Nearly a third of all the money in Cyprus’ outsized banking sector is Russian.
