Cyprus euro Ground Zero
The Mediterranean country tourism and grabs the gas after the financial deblace

Cyprus is these days a place where the priests give advice on television to overcome the crisis, demonstrations are full of executives in suits and authorities often recant, and worse. The recession this year rose from 9% to 13% in just 24 hours, and the agreement with the troika, submitted by the Government as advantageous, seems to contain fine print. If one were to define the mood after these weeks, there are many prints to choose from: chaos, crisis of confidence ... "Seismic impact," the resigned Minister of Finance, Michalis Sarris.
Nicosia seeks alternatives to the financial sector in the socio-
After almost two years of crisis and apply nine months after the rescue, Cyprus is ground zero of the euro: hundreds of businesses closed, with signs of settlement or transfer, savings and investments go down the drain of a rebate of up to 60% solvent illiquid companies, a memorandum scary, the end of the boom. And the obligation to reinvent itself economically, with a snap of his fingers, after the collapse of the banking sector.
Tourism resents the rescue
Tourism can be the savior of Cyprus. Visited the island in 2012 nearly 2.5 million people, mostly British and German visitors who generated about 10.2% of GDP. The memorandum signed with the troika to rescue explicit commitment by the sector as a pillar of the economic recovery. In fact it was the magic wand that helped Cyprus to develop after the Turkish invasion and occupation of the northern third of the island.
In the late nineties, the sun and beach tourism accounted for nearly 20% of Cyprus GDP, but the exploitation of new Mediterranean destinations such as Croatia or Turkey itself, has reduced the role of the sector. "In 2000 it had 104 permanent employees, today I have 56, half" explains Jristakis Petsas, owner of a car rental agency. "This sector is much more manageable in the short term financier," according to the Chamber of Commerce.
But remove the large deposits is a glaring mishap. Large foreign operators such as TUI and Thomas Cook, had scheduled the closed season and packets before they are applied capital controls, but the response of big business in the industry, such as hotels, with 60% of its funds blocked, is a unknown.
Few Cypriots still have reacted to the new situation. "In the chamber of commerce we are interested in minimizing the impact of banking restrictions in daily activities, and to be lifted soon," say sources in the entity. Some entrepreneurs, like Jristakis Petsas, owner of a major car rental agency vehicles 1300, 56 fixed-workers have already taken action: "From now on we will work with cheaper cars smaller. But while we have 40 cars blocked in the port of Limassol by the banking restrictions, and is likely to lose another 40 you have in renting the Laiki Bank ", which will disappear in bank restructuring.
Few doubt also of the need to concoct a more sustainable, less weight of the state, 4,500 officials until at least 2016, and more low-financial sector, but most rejected it done with an ax. "This time are economic measures instead of weapons, but the situation is very reminiscent of the 1974 invasion. Between 70% and 80% of Cypriots is contrary to the troika, which is not to reject the euro. When asked the rescue, we assumed the inevitability of many changes, but not this way. We will be enslaved 22 years, to give back the money [10,000 million euros], "says economist Azoos Kiranidis, director of the think tank Thucydides.
The Government argues that the agreement is minor, and necessary, facing bankruptcy, and has scratched two years, until 2018, for budgetary adjustment. But the domestic front, opposition to unions through the Church, is unanimous among the troika measures and a hypothetical euro exit by only a minority stake, there is room for a "plan b" for many the natural gas field enclosed waters. "The goal was to head off Russia. The resolution of the crisis is a clear message that the EU wants to ensure direct access to these resources, the gas has been key, "adds Kiranidis. In the agreement with the troika, Nicosia has managed to retain full sovereignty over the site.
But the alternative could also be on the ground. "There is a crisis of confidence. We have great resources, from schools regional multilingual communication platforms and a great hotel infrastructure, which are giving us value despite the crisis, "explains Andreas Jristu, Mayor of Limassol, the epicenter of the Russian community. "We must concentrate on more tourism," he adds.
Partasidis Jristakis economist believes a solution could come from a health tourism oriented seniors. "Cyprus Florida may be the EU. All those thousands of financial experts and lawyers could be switched to medical assistants, physiotherapists, chiropodists ... "jokes.
The rector of the University of Nicosia, Michalis Attalidis, gives the reason: "There is a socio fledgling business can be a way of conversion, but we must also expand the tourist [in 2012, 10% of GDP] and reabsorb all the financial know-how. In the real economy will ruin removes many companies, and unemployment soar. "
The period when Russian billionaires "a luxury rented six months", according to a bank executive, the current scenario, in which the gas stations to get fuel almost drops, only half a playpen. "What makes a giant in a guinea pig", says Andreas Parasjos, director of the weekly newspaper Kathimerini.
