Cyprus secured a 10 billion euro (£8.5 billion) package of rescue loans in tense negotiations, saving the country from a banking system collapse and bankruptcy.
"We've put an end to the uncertainty that has affected Cyprus and the euro area over the past week," said Jeroen Dijsselbloem, who chairs the meetings of the 17-nation eurozone's finance ministers.
In return for the bailout, Cyprus must drastically shrink its outsized banking sector, cut its budget, implement structural reforms and privatise state assets, he said.

| yes they are nicking 40% of savings from those that have more than 100,000 euro's
I predict a run on the banks tomorrow when they open, small saver's wont trust it will happen again and the big savers will move what they have left it away. |

| But at least the Cypriot government are upfront about it, our government did it the sneaky way by quantitative easing (the new phrase for de-valuation) All our bank account deposits and cash have lost 12%, and I don't remember the British population making a scene about it |
