塞浦路斯尋求應(yīng)對債務(wù)危機新方案

國際借貸方要求塞浦路斯首先籌集75億美元，然后才能批準為塞浦路斯提供130億美元救助金，但塞浦路斯領(lǐng)導人并沒有明確的手段來滿足這一要求。塞浦路斯議會星期二以壓倒多數(shù)否決對銀行存款征稅，征收存款稅使儲戶感到憤怒。

塞浦路斯政府說，國內(nèi)各銀行在下星期二之前仍將停止營業(yè)，以避免出現(xiàn)擠兌。塞浦路斯各家銀行已經(jīng)停止營業(yè)一周。

歐洲向塞浦路斯施加壓力，要求該國在議會否決征收存款稅之后拿出應(yīng)對這個島國債務(wù)危機的新方案。

Officials in Cyprus met throughout the day Wednesday to try to craft a new funding plan to avoid a debt default for the Mediterranean island nation.

Cypriot leaders were faced with no obvious way to raise $7.5 billion the country's international lenders are demanding before they will approve $13 billion in rescue funds. On Tuesday, the country's parliament overwhelmingly rejected a tax on bank deposits that angered savers.

The Nicosia government said the country's banks, closed all week, would remain shut until next Tuesday, to prevent a run on accounts.

Europe is pressuring Cyprus to offer new solutions to the island nation's debt crisis after parliament rejected the deposit tax plan.
