Financial Expert's Projections: If Inflation Continues to Fall Bulgaria Can Adopt the Euro in 2025
Julian Voinov, an economist and financial expert, expressed optimism regarding Bulgaria's potential adoption of the euro in 2025 or early 2026
UK Ministry of Defence said on Tuesday evening that a plane carrying EUR 1 M had arrived in Cyprus to make sure military personnel and their families are provided with emergency loans.
The money is to be used for British personnel and their families if cash machines and debit cards stop working, BBC reported.
The Cypriot Parliament expectedly rejected late on Tuesday the international bailout package that involves taxing ordinary depositors to pay part of the bill.
There were zero votes in favor, 36 votes against, and 19 abstentions. Cyprus's Parliament has 56 seats.
Lawmakers voted hours after President Nicos Anastasiades said they were likely to reject it.
The proposed tax on deposits, unprecedented in a eurozone bailout, led to a run on cash machines in Cyprus over the weekend, sparked big protests outside parliament and shook financial markets Monday.
Officials had made changes to the proposals to protect depositors with less than EUR 20,000 in their accounts, but plans to levy a tax of 6.75% on deposits of EUR 20,000-EUR 100,000 and 9.9% on anything above EUR 100,000 proved unacceptable to parliament.
After the vote Germany's finance minister Wolfgang Schaeuble warned Cyprus that its crisis-stricken banks may never be able to reopen if it rejects the terms of a bailout.
