My first stab list is:

1. Open the banks (obvious, I know).
2. Remove all restrictions on shop opening hours, but with measures to ensure the non-exploitation of staff.
3. Pass the legislation for vehicles to be able to run on LPG (Should create some jobs and reduce our imports bill).
4. Move civil servants to the land registry to get the backlog of non-problematic (the majority) title deeds cleared within six months. (Should bring in a lot of dosh from those that can pay)
5. Approve all the applications made under the amnesty for variations from plans for the issue of title deeds, and get them processed within 12 months.
6. Set up a small team to sort out the title deeds that are tied up due to developers mortgages on the properties. (That is still a tough one, but with the banks screwed anyway, a little more pain won't hurt them)
7. Pass the legislation allowing casinos, and issue licences for one in each district, but only to those willing to invest over a certain amount (€100 million?).
8. Outsource as many government services as possible (printing, cleaning, hospital catering, etc.).

What other things should be done now?

Legalize marijuana, apply 18% VAT on it to boost revenue, let go of all pot related inmates...

Yes let us send them all overto Canada for you to dealwith, hows that?

Please stick to Canada and don’t ever come back because you’re incompatible with Cyprus.

Excellent revenue-raising measure to legalise pot and tax it ... far better than the Casino idea that's doing the rounds.

Just think of it a mo boys and girls... CY could become the New Amsterdam of Europe... but also one with sun and sea and afternoon sex.

It's a brilliant and very lucrative idea.
