Bank Of Cyprus Launches Strategic Liquidity Measures For Livestock Farmers

Support Package Overview

The Bank of Cyprus has announced a comprehensive support initiative designed to assist livestock farmers and other affected businesses amidst the challenges posed by the foot and mouth disease outbreak. The bank reiterated its commitment to standing by customers during emergency times while maintaining its role as a cornerstone of stability within the Cypriot economy.

Loan Payment Suspension And Relief

An integral element of the package is the suspension of loan instalments, covering both principal and interest obligations. Eligible borrowers enrolled in state-supported schemes can benefit from a payment moratorium of up to 12 months. This measure is strictly applicable to performing loans, ensuring that sound credit exposures receive the necessary relief to manage immediate financial pressures.

Targeted Liquidity Support For Rapid Recovery

In parallel with the loan freeze, the bank is introducing tailored liquidity solutions aimed at meeting critical operational needs and expediting the recovery process for impacted enterprises. These facilities are crafted to minimize operational disruptions and help businesses resume their activities while mitigating short-term financial stresses.

Customer Support And Assistance

To streamline access to these emergency measures, the Bank of Cyprus has activated a dedicated support line. Customers can reach the specialised team by phone at 25-156000 from Monday to Friday, between 07:30 and 18:00. Additional support is available via email for further clarification or assistance.

By deploying these measures, the Bank of Cyprus underscores its commitment to supporting both individual and business clients, paving the way for a robust economic recovery in the face of unforeseen challenges.
