  • [01] Agreement on banks` recapitalisation expected in 10 days

    No agreement was reached on the final amount required for the recapitalization of Cyprus' banks, at Friday's teleconference of the Steering Committee dealing with the matter, sources told CNA today. The deadline set for the US-based investment management company PIMCO to deliver its final report on the amount of capital needs of the Cypriot financial system expired on Saturday morning.

    An agreement is expected to be reached within the next 10 days, the same sourced added. In a press release issued on Saturday, the Central Bank of Cyprus points out that the examination of the technical details regarding the evaluation of capital requirements for the financial institutions in Cyprus is still underway. The members of the Steering Committee, which includes representatives of both the Cypriot authorities and the international creditors of Cyprus (EU, IMF, ECB), will continue their discussion on the data processed by PIMCO to reach an agreement on the final amount required.

    [02] Cyprus has largest number of big dams in Europe

    Cyprus has more large dams in Europe than any other country in the continent, according to the Minister of Agriculture, Natural Resources and the Environment Sophocles Aletraris.

    In his address at the inauguration of Solea dam, in Nicosia district, Aletraris said that Cyprus has 56 large dams listed in the International Commission on Large Dams (ICOLD) and the completion of Solea dam will increase this number to 57. He also said that the total storage capacity of these dams stands at 336 million cubic meters approximately, compared to 6 million cubic meters in 1960. "This is really impressive if compared with other countries of the same size and level of development as Cyprus," he added.

    Referring to the current water supplies in dams, he said they amount to 250 million cubic meters, with 86% rate of loading, adding that last year the same number was 134 million cubic meters with 46% rate of loading.
