"The financial services market has just been killed by the EU and we are facing mass unemployment."

I suppose the EU is also to blame for Cyprus's banks voluntary contribution of some 40 billion plus euros to the Greek economy!!

What a pathetic introduction.

Of course the EU is to blame. Banks invest. The EU controlled what then happened to Greek banks after Cyprus banks invested. The whole scenario was orchestrated from start to finish to maximize profits for eurozone banks. Why don't you do some research instead of demonstrating how brainwashed you are.

40 billion??? you need to get a grip, seems you have just registered on here to make that stupid comment.

In fact the total invested in junk bonds and loans amounts to 43 billion.
Do some research .

You can always present yours!

It won't do any harm to study for a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) - then you can teach in-between the diving seasons.

As far as TEFL is concerned you'll get fuckall in a Cypriot academy, unless you are really lucky or have the appropriate contacts. You can get to teach children as private students in your local community and you don't really need to invest in a TEFL certificate for that.

This is coming from a Cypriot with a BA(hons) Spanish and TEFL with a CELTA.

I'm not really sure that's the case. There's a little school in Polis where kids have extra lessons after school and when we took music lessons there for my son, I certainly asked for the tutor's qualifications. They had English lessons in some of the other classrooms and I'm sure other mums like me would ask to see some qualifications.

Dumping an entire article is not an answer.

You need to present (highlight) the SPECIFIC line or lines that say "43 billion".

[Get Real!]

Anyway, I doubt you’ll find anything to that amount because Cyprus’ entire banking sector was about 90 billion.

As for our debt... 10 billion was wasted by our government since 2007 in a whole bunch of ways and 6-7 billion by two banks in Greek junk bonds.

The figure of 43 bl was also mentioned by Philelephtheros. You have to accept that since your average "Joe Public "is not privy to such detailed figures he or she must extract from a number of informative sources. For instance, and from memory, the total exposure to Greek junk bonds exceeded 13 billion euros, on top of that of course one has to account for the billions loaned to Greek industry.Such loans earned the principals huge commissions undoubtedly.
Why on earth does Cyprus have to get involved with a bankrupt nation such as Greece is beyond me. You had a thriving economy , one of the highest standards of living in Europe, Cypriots on average were richer than the Germans as a recent study highlighted. This economic disaster was caused by Cypriots (banks and ruling classes) through sheer greed and disregard of the most basic and fundamental rudiments of economics.

The figures I gave you above is the situation that has been presented to us by hundreds of news articles both domestic and foreign.

I agree with you and if I could I'd shoot a few people here... but what can I do now?

You are the exception.
