The commitment of President of Cyprus, Nikos Anastasiadis, by growth, which permeates the battery of measures to boost the economy announced on Sunday may capsize if negotiations with the troika to close rescue conditions prevailing 10,000 million posture International Monetary Fund (IMF), which proposed pay cuts and layoffs of staff. And it appears that it will, despite the good intentions, discourse and rhetoric for domestic consumption, the president.
The IMF proposal contemplates the dismissal of 2,000 employees of the Ministry of Education and cutting public wages by 5%
Because if something has made clear the crisis of the past two weeks, since the March 15 Eurogroup agreed the first bailout, is that in Cyprus can advance and recede smoothly denials, the behavior of the stock market in its reopening after two weeks of closure, scheduled for Tuesday, could be the first. Pointing to the troika Anastasiadis not being discussed or a reduction in public salaries or laying off staff, the Finance Minister Michalis Sarris, qualified on Monday the message to suggest that there will be pay cuts. The IMF proposal, which local media called "second memo" and pretend to clamp down on Cyprus from the start to avoid a repeat of the Greek case, contemplates the dismissal of 2,000 employees of the Ministry of Education and cutting public wages at 5%.
The newspaper Fileléfzeros (Liberal) released on Monday a draft memorandum, which specifies some of the objectives of international lenders. Among them is the achievement of a surplus of 1.2% in 2016, which, according to his spokesman, the Cypriot government considers impossible. This is one of the points that causes friction as the troika would accept the possibility of a budget surplus in 2017, but the government does not see it feasible until 2018.
Other points are known, were preconditions for the rescue of the troika, as the increase in value added tax (VAT) at a point this year (from 17% to 18%), and other supplemental in 2014 (19%) . In addition, the government should privatize Nicosia a series of public or semi-public companies, including electricity, phones or ports. Some of these were approved by Parliament three months ago.

Despite the imposition of the troika and warnings Sarris, Anastasiadis reemphasized the goal of development. "The package of measures [announced on Sunday] are focused on growth and growth," said Conservative leader in Nicosia after attending a church service to mark the national holiday commemorating the start of the armed struggle against British colonial rule in 1955. Then chaired a special Cabinet.
The Government's program has two main pillars, attract foreign investment with tax incentives to companies that reinvest their profits and legislative reform to allow the game. But both face two separate purposes drawbacks: first, the rise of corporate tax to 10% now and after the rescue assessed at 12.5%, the second, the stubborn opposition of the Church, contrary to an activity that is legal in the north of the island, under Turkish occupation since 1974. In fact, the trick of the game as a revenue source has gained importance since the end of 2011 the then president, Dimitris Jristofias, communist AKEL party, rejected the proposal of a megacasino, various sources investment totaled around 10,000 million euros and after he was allegedly mogul Sheldon Adelson. The Cypriot Eurovegas passed over the "moral objections" to Jristofias and his party.
With fronts everywhere, Anastasiadis studying integrated into a national unity government with the communist AKEL and EDEK Social Democrats. It seems unlikely that the offer will materialize soon, because the priority is to complete negotiations with the troika on Thursday. The urgency has to do with the imminence of the Eurogroup meeting of April 12, but especially with the release of the first tranche of which Nicosia expects to receive in May.
