Project CYPRUS XXI – A STRATEGIC PLAN FOR SMART, SUSTAINABLE AND INCLUSIVE GROWTH
An Integrated Policy, Growth Strategy and Investment Plan
Investment Plan for Europe: the Juncker Plan
The Sustainable Nation Strategy is aimed to create an Eco-Smart Land of all-sustainable future society, with healthy environment
and green urban communities, integrated infrastructure, innovative industry and smart green economy, quality tourism,
intelligent banking system and financial services, progressive logistics and the maritime services, intelligent ICT services, smart
government, world-class healthcare, eco-intelligent cities and communities, innovational education and research, creative work
and sustainable living

THE EUROPEAN FUND FOR STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS
 The European Fund for Strategic Investments – the EFSI – is the central pillar of the Investment Plan for Europe.
 It aims to tackle the lack of confidence and investment which resulted from the economic and financial crisis, and to make
use of liquidity held by financial institutions, corporations and individuals at a time when public resources are scarce.
 The Commission works together with its strategic partner, the European Investment Bank (EIB) Group.
 The EFSI supports strategic investments in key areas such as infrastructure, energy efficiency and renewable energy,
research and innovation, environment, agriculture, digital technology, education, health and social projects. It also helps
small businesses to start up, to grow and to expand by providing risk finance.
 The EFSI is an EU-budget guarantee providing the EIB Group with a first loss protection.
 This means that the EIB Group is able to provide financing to higher-risk projects than they normally would. An
independent Investment Committee uses strict criteria to decide whether a project is eligible for EFSI support.
 There are no quotas – by sector or by country. Financing is purely demand-driven.
 EFSI 2.0
 Given the success of the EFSI, President Juncker announced a proposal in his 2016 State of the Union address to
extend its duration and capacity to boost investment further.
 The so-called "EFSI 2.0" extends the lifetime of the fund from mid-2018 to end 2020 and increases its investment target
from €315 billion to at least half a trillion euros.
 In December 2017, the European Parliament and Member States agreed on the "EFSI 2.0" Regulation and it became law
on 30 December 2017.
 The EFSI supports strategic investments in key areas such as infrastructure, energy efficiency and renewable energy,
research and innovation, environment, agriculture, digital technology, education, health and social projects. It also helps
small businesses to start up, to grow and to expand by providing risk finance.

WHY CYPRUS IS UNSUSTAINABLE
 The average growth rate of the Cypriot economy exceeded for many years the growth of the European economy.
 Regardless, this growth path proved unsustainable mainly attributed to two main factors:
 a) government and consumer spending, fuelled by excessive credit, creating growth led by an artificially high domestic demand,
 b) ‘Unbalanced growth’ due to the concentration of economic activity to a limited number of sectors of the economy such as the
financial services, professional services, tourism and construction, whose activity was intensified during the real estate boom.
 The structural problems of the Cyprus economy, were intensified as a result of the collapse of the real estate market following the
European crisis and particularly the devaluation of the British Pound, and were further accentuated with the economic crisis and the
adverse economic developments in Greece and culminated to the incapability of the Cyprus Government to borrow money at the
international free money market.
 The deterioration of the public finances together with the foreseen problems in the banking sector resulted in a series of
downgrades of the Cypriot economy and the exclusion of Cyprus from the international markets in mid-2011.
 The spill overs of the Greek economic crisis on Cypriot banks were also a factor that affected the whole economy due to the multi-
billion losses incurred as a result of the Greek crisis and the Greek government bonds.
 Unemployment increased from a low of 3.7% in 2008 to 16% in 2013 and 17% in 2014.
 The private sector indebtedness in Cyprus proved to be the highest amongst EU member states, at a level exceeding 300% of the
GDP, while at the same time, public finances deteriorated mainly due to increases in social outlays and wages, and became unsustainable.
 ‘Unbalanced growth’, and the concentration of economic growth to a few tradeable sectors of the economy also left Cyprus
vulnerable to external shocks, economic downturns, and wrong corporate strategies of individual businesses, especially in the banking
sector.
 Chronic over-consumption in the private and the public sector, as well as the over-concentration of the Cypriot economy to a few
sectors of the economy, revealed major structural weaknesses in both competitiveness and productivity, which is reflected in the
deterioration of all relevant international benchmarks.

WHY CYPRUS IS UNSUSTAINABLE: NATIONAL REFORM
PROGRAMME 2015
 The Government of Cyprus submitted the National Reform Program (NRP) 2015 for Smart,
Sustainable and Inclusive Growth as regards achieving the Europe 2020 targets.
 Major national targets have been badly failing:
 Poverty National Target
 Employment National Target
 Education National Target
 R & D National Target
 Climate and Energy National Target
 Health National Target
 Digital National Target
 Fiscal and Structural Reforms
 With the bad government, macroeconomic condition and business operating environment, the number of
people-at-risk and social exclusion, measured by AROPE indicator, sharply increased to 27,8% in 2013,
threating to exceed 30% in 2016, making the nation massively poor.

NEED FOR A NEW GROWTH MODEL AND
STRATEGY
 According to the New Growth Model for Cyprus report,
the post-invasion performance of the Cypriot economy
can be distinguished into four main periods:
 The first was the 1974-1988 period, when the economy
experienced a V-style recovery led by light manufacturing
and tourism, and an average rate of growth of 4.8%.
 The second period was between 1988-2004 which was
the harmonisation period with the EU legislation and
standards, the pegging of the Cypriot pound to the
European currency, and the eventual accession of
Cyprus to the EU.
 During that period, the Cypriot economy grew with an
average annual real rate of 4.4%, double of EU average,
as a result of the emerging of professional services,
banking, tourism, and towards the second half of the
period, significant credit expansion.
 During the third period, 2004-2008, the Cypriot
economy grew at an average rate of 4.2%, led by the
financial and professional sector, construction, and it
was characterised by excessive credit expansion; Cyprus
adopted the Euro by the end of this period.
 The fourth period started with the EU debt crisis and a
decline of the GDP by 1.9% in 2009 and public finances
deteriorating significantly.
 A New Growth Modelfor Cyprus. The Presidency
 http://www.dgepcd.gov.cy/dgepcd/dgepcd.nsf/page38_en/pag
e38_en?OpenDocument
 Following the debt crisis, the government requested to
enter into an economic adjustment programme.
 The main pillars of this program rested on the urgent need
to tackle the fiscal imbalances, as well as a financial
stabilisation program.
 The Fiscal and Financial policies conditionality in the MoU
constitute an important framework condition on which the
new growth model can build.
 The Government believes that the sustainable growth of
the economy will only be achieved if these policies are
complemented with the design and implementation of a
robust and sustainable new Growth Strategy for Cyprus.
This, coupled with the rest of the structural reforms
included in the program, should be considered as the third
main pillar of reforming the economy.
 The core provisions of the new Growth model aim at
accelerating recovery, enhancing competitiveness,
delivering sustainable economic growth boosting
employment and tackling corruption.
 The priorities and ambitions set out in the Growth Strategy,
which will inform the policy and spending decisions, are
closely aligned with those in EU2020, the EU’s growth
strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth.
 Implementation of the growth strategy will be catalytic to
ensuring progress towards the achievement of the EU
2020 targets.

INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS AND SMART
GOVERNANCE
 The design of the new Growth strategy of Cyprus is
related to the Public Administration reform to
create the right environment to support
sustainable growth, attracting FDI, and business
start-ups and jobs and employment.
 The Public Administration Reform and the Growth
Strategy are put under the same institutional
umbrella and political supervision which is the
Presidency.
 Acting as a Single Body, the special Presidency
structure has been put in place, in accordance
with the provisions of the MoU, with a mandate to
design, develop, coordinate and enforce a new
Growth Strategy for Cyprus.
 The structure consists of five (5) Units as follows:
 Civil Service Reform
 Growth Strategy
 Simplification of Procedures
 Investments and Entrepreneurship
 Digital Government

REBUILDING CYPRUS:
NEW GOVERNMENT INITIATIVE
 The Government of Cyprus is determined to implement policies and actions to return to growth and the financial market, handle unemployment,
support the poor and exit from the Memorandum.
 The President of Cyprus announced a number of measures to stimulate the national economy and create new jobs, such as:
 1. Call for tenders for development projects exceeding 200 million euro concerning environmental and town planning, sewerage and other
infrastructure projects, expediting tenders process and ensure transparency by special bills
 2. Promoting mature social projects of 80 million euro and more relating to upgrading hospitals, construction of new health centers and schools,
tourism infrastructure, urban landscape, as well as improving of road networks
 3. Extending urban development incentives to support the construction and tourist industry
 4. Implementing nine schemes costing 58 million euro to create new jobs by subsidizing employment and new skills trainings.
 5. Promoting the second stage of the University of Cyprus campus of 162 million euro, including the building of new facilities, laboratories and a
solar park.
 The Eco Smart Cyprus Investment Strategy is an integrated action plan to create a smart growth strategy further increasing foreign direct and
domestic investments, streamlining procedures and cutting-off the red tape.
 The Smart Cyprus Investment Program could serve as a framework for the strategic development planning for future Cyprus, indicating where
and why resources will go, with specific targets and indicators for priority areas.
 The designated Ministry of Energy assessed the Strategy with a supporting letter to the Presidential Office recommending as the national smart
growth reference program.
 The Smart Cyprus Investment Strategy is to deliver the social and economic growth by advancing sustainable construction, green roads,
intelligent energy, business innovation, smart commerce, intelligent industry and sustainable tourism infrastructures and cutting-edge facilities,
initiating smart cities, green communities and eco developments.
 Its strategic business model is a PPP network of the government, innovative business groups, state utilities, municipalities and communities,
academia and research institutions, with active citizen engagement and involvement.

MAJOR CONCERN OF CYPRUS: WASTEFUL BANKS,
NPLS AND REPOSSESSIONS BILL
 Non-performing loans (NPLs) at banks accounting for 50% of domestic loans are a concern for the island’s
economy.
 Bankers lent hundreds of millions without proper examination of customer data or sufficient collateral
provided, as a result most of these loans being up to 100% non-serviceable with uncertain delays.
 The loans of the 20 largest borrowers amount to billions with the biggest problem recorded in Bank of Cyprus
(BoC), according to Central Bank data.
 At the island’s biggest lender, BoC, the total of non-serviceable loans of the 20 largest debts amount to
€3.08 billion, delays amount to 1.32 billion (42,8%) and collateral amounts to just €2.89 billion. Total
lending to the 20 borrowers amounts to €3.98 billion.
 At Hellenic Bank the total amount of loans is €698 million with €645m being non-serviceable and delays
amounting to €263 million (40.7%). The collateral is at €1.01 billion.
 At the Co-operative sector the biggest loan amounts to €20.26 million in relation to €478 million at the BoC
and €96m at Hellenic Bank.
 At Co-ops total of loans of the 20 debtors amount to €195.46m but almost all of it is non-serviceable with
€191.14million.
 On June 30 2015 NPLs amounted to 46.5% or €27.81 billion from total loans of €59.80 billion, now it might
exceed all 50%.
 NPLs in the construction sector jumped to 72.05% from a total of €7.15b, now it might approach to 80%.
 As a result, the nation is standing the geopolitical and economic risks to be thrown to insecurity, poverty,
destitution and insolvency, mainly, due to the troika-induced repossessions law and property foreclosures to
handle on NPLs.

NATIONALIZING OR PRIVATIZING STATE ASSETS?
SMART ACTION PLAN
 In March 2013, the Cypriot authorities agreed with the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the IMF, the
Troika, on a €10 billion bailout.
To generate €1.4 billion in order to restore public debt sustainability, one of the bailout’s preconditions was the
implementation of a privatisations plan covering the disposal of:
 Cyprus Telecommunications Authority by 2016
 the Cyprus Ports Authority by 2016
 the Cyprus Electricity Authority by 2018.
 The bill titled "Privatisations Law 2014" is a precondition for the disbursement of the next tranche of the €10 billion financial
assistance package granted to Cyprus.
 Privatisations, an integral part of the Memorandum of Understanding on the conditions of the financial assistance, with a view
of generating state revenue of €1.4 billion by 2018.
According to the bill, the Council of Ministers can issue decrees on the sale of state-owned organizations. Under the bill, the
Council will appoint a Ministerial Committee chaired by the Finance Minister and comprising "at least four Ministers" to
supervise the procedure and to provide guidance to the Privatisations Unit and the Privatisations Commissioner with a four-
year mandate.
 Privatization Program: Action Plan
The Action Plan includes the prospect of privatizing Government Organizations including the Cyprus Telecommunications
Authority (CYTA), the Electricity Authority of Cyprus (EAC), the Cyprus Ports Authority (CPA), as well as property of the State.
