Cyprus bailout: No aid without privatisations, says German chancellor Merkel
Jan 9th 2013, 17:55

Angela Merkel has just given a clear signal that Cyprus will not get its bailout until it drops its opposition to wide-ranging economic reforms.

During a press conference in Berlin, the German chancellor insisted the aid deal would not be completed without Nicosia agreeing to a programme including privatising some state-controlled companies.

Merkel said (via Reuters):

We agree it is important that the troika should talk with Cyprus and that there can be no special conditions for Cyprus because we have common rules in Europe

We are far from the end of the talks.
