Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Spain ... and now Cyprus. The small Mediterranean island is about to become the fifth country in the eurozone formally request a bailout. Nicosia's government on Friday announced an agreement with the EU, ECB and IMF to ensure the solvency of the country. However, hours later, the troika has denied this end, but acknowledged "progress" in the negotiations.
The institutions said that the mission to Cyprus has had "productive discussions with the Cypriot authorities" and now the contacts will continue in order to "make further progress in the face of a potential program" aid, international lenders say in a note. The new assistance program is more like the one approved for Athens, Dublin and Lisbon a bailout that the total-designed to Madrid, now only limited by the financial sector.

The agreement had been reported by the Cypriot government spokesman, Stefanos Stefanou, was confident that there would be official confirmation this afternoon. "We are waiting for Brussels to announce it in a few hours," he assured without at the moment to get to know the specifics of the aid program. At present, the representatives of the executive who heads the communist Demetris Christofias is explaining the agreement on political parties and social partners in the country and, as recognized by Stefanou, include "painful measures".
"After tough negotiations, we are close to signing a memorandum," Christofias confirmed last night from Brussels, where he participated in the summit on the European financial framework. "There are very few outstanding issues. I hope they close tonight or tomorrow [on Friday], "he added.
The loan to avoid bankruptcy the country this semester holds the rotating presidency of the EU could be around 14,000 million euros, although other sources cited by Reuters and AFP the figure rose to 17,500 million, of which 10,000 would go to clean up its financial system, most hit by the crisis. As in Ireland and to some extent in Spain, have been the excesses committed by their banks that have forced Cyprus to seek international cooperation. The difference is that the new rescue operation is, in proportion to the tiny country's economy, much higher than those adopted so far. If finally confirmed the figure of 14,000 million, would represent almost 80% of GDP Cypriot.
Troika inspectors-European Commission, ECB and IMF on Thursday left the island after writing a draft of the official announcement. The document, as reported by Reuters, mentioned "progress" in the talks, focusing on privatization and pension cuts should launch Nicosia and the final amount that banks need. Failure to design an analysis of public debt sustainability.
One key: privatization
One of the hot topics was the future of the state telecommunications company, it will not be privatized unless the weight of public debt increases, according to Sigma TV channel. The agreement, which takes months traded, was blocked so far by the European institutions claim to force Nicosia to privatize their public enterprises and to book future revenues from the exploitation of gas fields to pay the interest on the debt. Local media reported that the two sides have yet to reach a solution on the treatment to be given to gas, but the government sought ways to safeguard the sovereignty of Cyprus.
Cyprus, which this year asked for a loan of 5,000 million euros to Russia, has been particularly hit by the crisis in the neighboring country. The haircut of 53% on Greek debt, passed last February, hit squarely at two large financial institutions, the People's Bank of Cyprus and the Bank of Cyprus. The debt restructuring helena made these two entities lost 4,200 million euros, almost a quarter of GDP Cypriot. Christofias's government argues that, given the bad management of the Greek crisis, the losses should be shared among all EU countries. "We are a victim unfair," said Finance Minister Shiarly Vassos, when asked for the loan to Russia.
