#WHYS Cyprus bailout

World Have Your Say

Available for over a year

People across Cyprus are reacting to a one-off levy of up to 10% on individuals’ personal savings in return for a $13bn Eurozone rescue package. Since news of the levy was announced, many Cypriots have been trying to withdraw their money from ATM machines across the country. Should private savers be penalised? Or is it fair for everyone to contribute towards solving the financial crisis?
