Cyprus needs 75 mn euros to avoid default on bills: official
By (공용)코리아헤럴드Published : April 8, 2013 - 21:34
NICOSIA, (AFP) Cash-strapped Cyprus will fall short by at least 75 million euros ($97 million) to pay its bills in April, including government salaries and pensions, an official warned on Monday.
Accountant General Rea Georgiou told parliament's finance committee that the government was trying to avoid a payment default for the month of April.
"The cash deficit for April is 160 million euros. The 85 million in reserve is not enough and we need a similar amount to avoid a default," Georgiou said, as the island awaits the first tranche of a eurozone bailout due in May.
