Today's press reports on the possible actions of the Government are incorporated in the plans for the readiness of the Cyprus Government for the implementation of its announced commitment to support the Banking system, if the need arises.  Similar plans are carried out in several European countries at government level and are associated with their readiness for the possible support of the banking sector.

Cyprus Popular Bank Public Co Ltd remains committed to its target for the implementation of the Capital Plan, as it was presented to the shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting on 2 April 2012 and was agreed with the Central Bank of Cyprus and is working intensively in this direction.
