About time. Cyprus needs to be less dependent on its tourism industry, perhaps this drop will help Cypriots realize it

But what will they do instead, with no other major industry in Cyprus to fall back on?

WHat are you talking about? Cyprus is one of the largest financial services centres in the Med. Just Marfin Laiki which is registered in Cyprus is soon to be the Largest Capitalised bank in the eastern Med.

The financial services industry is just ONE of the many thriving industries...

This is what the RoC is all about these days...

There is a shift in the eonomy of Cyprus at this time. More and more graduates are returning with financial services, law and accounting degrees to cope with this. I wouldn't worry about the Cypriot economy Tess, its a robust Eurozone economy.

Now about those pension funds in the north that Soyer spent on salaries.....

That was a very bad thing to do, and anywhere else there would have been heads rolling by now!!!

With regards the thriving economy in the South, where will all the unskilled tourism sector employees find employment? Can the economy support them if hotels lay off staff or have to close?
