Cyprus central bank limits cash withdrawals to 100 euros per day
The central bank in Cyprus imposed a 100-euros per day withdrawal limit at cash machines for all local banks on Sunday to avert a run on lenders.
A spokesman for second largest lender Cyprus Popular Bank, which had previously limited withdrawals to 260
euros, said the new measure began at 1 p.m. (1100 GMT) and would remain in place until the bank reopens, scheduled for Tuesday, or until confirmation of continued emergency funding from the European Central Bank.
A government official, who declined to be named, said the measure applied to all local banks on the island.
