On Saturday, the nation's leaders agreed to a "tax" of 6.7% on deposits up to 100,000 euros and 9.9% on deposits above 100,000 euros, to satisfy the EU's demand of 5.8 billion euros ($7.2 billion) as part of the bank bailout. Yes, they're literally raiding their own citizens' savings accounts.
Even by the standards of the EU bureaucracy, raiding the private deposits of Cyprus’ banks is spectacularly foolish.For a measly few billion euros, the EU has now put the entire Eurozone on edge - not to mention the entire global economy.
As a former banker, I can tell you that there’s no substitute for the belief that your deposits are safe and sound. It’s a thin line, and once it’s been crossed it’s nearly impossible to repair. It's all about trust.
Here's why savers everywhere should be concerned by this chilling development.
