  • 1 SECRET LAIKI POPULAR BANK How a Bank's Mismanagement
    SECRET LAIKI POPULAR BANK How a bank’s mismanagement toppled an economy Introduction This study has been carried out following the instructions by the President of the Republic of Cyprus, Nicos Anastasiades with the aim of tracking down the causes which led the Cypriot economy to the brink of collapse. The objective is to draw lessons from the past and take corrective measures so that the country will never find itself in a similar, critical position. The documentation used is based on material from the archives of the Presidential Palace. Moreover, important confidential material of the Central Bank of Cyprus (CBC) has been utilized, which was submitted to the Investigation Committee appointed by the Ministerial Council with the task of looking into the causes which led to the financial crisis. This material has not been adequately utilized by the Committee - for reasons already explained by the Committee itself- and has been delivered to the State archive. The framework of the study’s findings is as follows: Since 2011, when the Cypriot economy was initially downgraded by international rating agencies, the problems were spotted at the banks, as a result of the Greek crisis, and to the Government’s weakness to support them financially should the need arose. Briefly, these problems can be summarized as follows: - The size of the banks was about seven times that of the economy’s GDP. - Private indebtedness (companies and households) without sufficient collateral. 1 - Cypriot banks were exposed to Greece which found itself in a protracted crisis and with a visible risk of exiting the euro area.

  • Definition of Institutions to Which the Senior Managers Regime and Standards of Conduct Rules Apply 1. This Note Sets out In
    UNCLASSIFIED Definition of institutions to which the senior managers regime and standards of conduct rules apply 1. This note sets out in more detail the definition of „bank‟ used for the purposes of the new regime for bank senior managers and banking standards set out in the Financial Services (Banking Reform) Bill as amended in the Lords Committee stage, and explains the effect of the Government‟s Report stage amendments. What is within the definition? 2. Section 71A FSMA, as originally drafted for clause 24 of the Financial Services (Banking Reform) Bill) defines a bank as a UK institution which has a FSMA Part 4A permission to carry on the regulated activity of accepting deposits and which is not an insurer. “UK institution” limits the definition to businesses incorporated or formed under the law of any part of the United Kingdom. The reference to the “regulated activity of accepting deposits” essentially limits the definition to entities which carry on deposit-taking business – that is to say firms which set out to take deposits as their business, not firms that take deposits as an incidental part of some other business.1 It does not limit the definition to purely retail deposit-taking business. 3. The overall effect of these provisions is that the definition of bank in the original section 71A includes all UK banks, building societies and credit unions (including subsidiary companies of foreign banks) but not foreign banks which operate through branches in the UK or any institution which is called a “bank” but does not have a deposit-taking permission.
