塞浦路斯进一步放宽资本管制

 　　NICOSIA, April 11 (Xinhua) -- Cyprus partly eased restrictions² on bank operations on Thursday by allowing free transactions of up to 300,000 euros (390,000 U.S. dollars) domestically and raising the ceiling for company payment abroad.

　　A new decree issued by the Ministry³ of Finance raises the threshold for company payments abroad to 20,000 from 5,000 euros without prior approval by a Central Bank committee.

　　Overseas transactions of between 20,001 and 300,000 euros still need a vetting⁴ by an ad hoc committee.

　　Travellers will also be permitted to carry 2,000 euros on each trip abroad, up from a previous ceiling of 1,000 euros.

　　The restrictions were imposed on March 28 after the Eurogroup imposed an unprecedented⁵ haircut on deposits over 100,000 euros in the biggest bank -- Bank of Cyprus and the merger⁶ of Bank of Cyprus and Popular Bank, the second biggest bank, in return for a 10-billion-euro bailout for Cyprus.

　　A sixth decree in a row by the Ministry of Finance leaves in place a threshold of 300 euros in cash withdrawals⁷ per day.

　　The decree introduces a new restriction¹ in opening an account in a bank which is different from the one in which a client already has. Opening such a new account is allowed only for depositing money from abroad or after a prior approval by the ad hoc committee. (1 euro = 1.30 U.S. dollars)
