indeed all credit card are blocked from yesterday night 12:00. my father in law has 1800 euros in , he went to carefour and spend all

He bought food at Carrefour for 1800 EUR?
That was a great decision. I'm asking me if there will be soon a starvation in Cyprus.

I live here, and I am not. For one thing, Cyprus had a policy of self-sufficiency in food prior to EU accession, and is still capable, at a stretch, of producing enough food to meet domestic needs. Cyprus is a major exporter of potatoes, for example.

Yeah there are companies with supply, but which company will give you this potatoes for free?!?!
I mean you need to exchange them with something?!

Presumably they will accept the euros in my wallet.

I hope you have enough cash euros in your wallet. German news says that the supplier are no more delivering food to the cyprus supermarkets because the supermarkets are unable to transfer electronically the money. That means that food prices should dramatically increases.

I will buy directly from the producers.

Sorry to disappoint you, but the shops here are all full of all the normal goods. I went shopping for food today with no problem and paid in euros as usual. (Which German news source was that? Hopefully not Bild zeitung; I would not believe everything you read in that rag.)

"German news says that the supplier are no more delivering food to the Cyprus supermarkets because the supermarkets are unable to transfer electronically the money."

Funny, I have had a quick look at the main German news sources, and can't find that story.

It is true that suppliers are increasingly insisting on cash payment up front, but that is different from saying that there are no deliveries taking place.

Only the two troubled banks have that limit. I can get 700 p/d out of the Co-op.
