Between the years 2005-2008 Cypriot Finance Minister Michalis Sarris, who served as 29 years as a manager who worked at the World Bank. Africa, Latin America and East Asia has been found in over 100 countries. English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and modern, totally knows five languages. Michalis Sarris'in life in Athens one day, another day in Israel, another day in France is a great rush.
Affectionate, very social, but also serious enough weight to feel right ... Has many friends among the Turkish Cypriots, as they are just friends from Turkey. From Turkey with Kemal Dervis, World Bank economists have worked together since the year folks ... To the density and the first time all my old voice recorder * Despite the problems created for us to interview me again thank you ... time that separates Mr. Sarris'e
Mr Christofias basınınında rum on the response of trade unions against the economic crisis has received some attention considering stepping back from being claimed. Christofias said Cyprus Mail newspaper, remained undecided, was criticized for failing to take measures about the initiative. Many measures are discussed by us in similar, but not an easy one to apply and you are ours as well as the political reaction against what they see is fear. What do you think should be done?
Like many other countries in the world economically difficult time passing. Compared with other countries, our situation worse, because with one hand, our extraordinary economic development that we saw in the previous year. The positive course of trading migrated to the island to the outside, but many people are doing jobs and the unemployment rate was falling. After the crisis in the world, but rather because of some existing problems occurred in the public sector budget deficits. External current account deficit in the other hand, grew up. We were doing much more than we import to export. Both of these difficult problems and we need to control spending. To increase tax revenues but also because the economy is not very olanıklı tax has been substantially higher and the volume is greater than the state sector. Expenditure and increasing tax revenue and can not make a compensation, this can happen only in a very small scale. Therefore we have to take measures and each of the parties themselves must do its part. As shown by each of the other "you gotta do 'is not good to say. Contrary to overcome this difficult time pointing to ourselves' we will do our part in and we all must do what we should have our own account. In this way we can close the budget deficit. But what is more difficult to explain except that it is open current accounts with foreign capital was closed off earlier and more Russian, including Britain had a very good flow of foreign cash. Cash flow to buy this house, right in the bank deposit hospitalized. Now if the foreign cash flow is very slow. Will therefore need to develop competitive. Euro zone countries, only Germany and some do cost control has been able to increase the productivity. We should do the same. Both north and all of this applies to all areas of Cyprus.
Emirates and Qatar, but the government recently signed an agreement between you and you have an increase in the investment side of the Arabs.
True. This is an important investment and welcomed. However, I think to make such investments or real estate, hotels and apartments are developed to make such investments. There are already many of them. Whereas the youth of our long-term, pelvis, and training of our people will make more productive investments in technology have ihtiyacamız. I personally believe if people decide to come to Cyprus, Cypriot and Turkish Cypriots, especially in the fields of high technology business partners than to be happy. However, this kind of technology we can increase our productivity and investment. Arabs greet yatrımlarını but would prefer to invest in other areas.
The problems in the real estate speculation in the south of this summer we can expect even greater!
Not only this summer, a few years, real estate speculation in intensity. And this is happening not only in Cyprus. Spain and Ireland is currently experiencing serious problems in this regard. Foreign cash flows and prices will rise in anticipation of the land and houses to be taken, the bank system's loan request the people's economic situation thoroughly before lending, and a day the music stops, no one expected no result to this point was. Music stopped and now we have some difficulties. But that all countries join the EU, for entering the euro area is very typical situation. Prices are now considered the balance and found a clear decline in the real estate market this summer will be and even some jobs is not even in the land, we can expect prices to rise.
Christofias government in the face of the crisis in the north, take the precautions necessary to do the same opinion? Other hand, politicians in both parties are afraid of the reaction of trade unions ...
I think the most important is to check the state's expense. In Cyprus, both north and south of the state administration think it is very costly. Too many people working in state institutions. A lot of people trying to win a state pension and health expenditures are paid much less than other people.
I find the employees in state institutions had a privileged position? Historically, state employees in Cyprus to receive higher wages need to explain?
If you want to attract people and if you want them to stay honest is a fair fee to pay. Government, trade unions or employees for a successful response is not a serious problem. For what this government nor the previous government, this was very important.
Historical sense of the Cyprus government employees receive higher wages in the British colonial policy we can connect?
Yes, one reason may be the British colonial policy. To attract good people to the government may have done it. After checking that out but then came to the right. The reason for this increase is too much in wages and incentives. Now there is a crisis and falling state revenues. But you know what? We are much less difficulty as compared to other countries we can fix this problem. But only if we do it now, we are taking a less stressful if we take action now. If we will have our very serious problems if you delay. Not only the trade unions, the private sector should make a new request from the government. People in tourism or construction sectors, but neither had a good day to invest their profits in their products had to be more careful about how to develop. So now the government came and everyone would stop thinking that everything must be paid.
The response of the unions on both sides of Cyprus as large ones when talking about how life will go?
I think those who resist these precautions are made against them shows. Now shut down because of this gap, this time with their children will pay the price. Government is the enemy. Enemies who try to take these precautions are not any. I do not agree to salary freeze in one street, with no need for wealthy people with non-profits do not agree to enjoying doing the show if he should know that their own children is doomed. Reimbursement because the measures are not taken now will be much more in the future. People have to choose between two things they think they will see: What reasonable precautions should be taken now or in the future of measures to be taken much more seriously. This choice, do nothing or do something does not seem to think the problems to be resolved between the self is not. Union leaders and unionized workers at the end I'm sure you'll understand it and ultimately the government's measures will be agreed upon recommendations.
In the south the pay freeze a package of proposed measures, new measures such as cessation of employment is outside of what?
Wage freeze, suspension of new business purchases and also to help those who really need the government goes, without the need to cut state funding.
Future work and further deterioration of Cyprus bat or something ... I think probably not within
If the bat does not increase even if the budget deficit, budget deficits, new loans are taken off. Debt as it increases the creditors want a higher interest rate loans. If no measures are not taken now for 2011 and 2012, the year will be much more difficult. In this case, it will cost much more expensive to borrow Greece and Cyprus, under the same category as countries like Italy and Portugal will be. I do not want. Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, want to be classed with countries such as Luxembourg.
2012'deki in 2011 and this risk is not any exaggeration?
There really such a risk but I know people that I'm confident that will not benefit anyone. Our children because we do not want to pay more interest. We do not want our workforce to be exported. We do not want to put our future mortgaged.
Cyprus is also due to be in crisis in the Euro area. Eurozone crisis will end in the near future or do you think deep?
A recovery began earlier this year. To combat the crisis, but partly, partly because old habits persist in many countries, budget deficits continued. Both government and private sectors and markets in the country with the discretion to make savings, savings are acting imprudently began to differentiate between countries. The course is open to the public sector budget deficit, foreign exchange loans and investments affects the open and very much to spend for the creation of the private sector are obvious. Imprudent countries now being punished by the market. Therefore, our troops and our money because of what happened. Cumulative loss of 50% in Greece to live or stay with them and other countries affected. But now we have a Euro and Euro area are linked in each country that have this problem. Euro zone countries should not only think about yourself. Each is a member of the Union, and also consider the privilege question, as must also consider clauses.
Cyprus's EU membership was not a good idea for that?
No, it was a very good idea. With this crisis without the euro, we could lose most of our wealth. Due to the devaluation could protect Poundunu Cyprus. In foreign currency loans would fail. If we were not in the euro area could be much more difficult things. When the euro area also a lot more careful about spending and costs, and expenses and must keep costs under control, it 's different.
Let us now come to the North's economy. How do we see the situation?
Construction boom in the economy in the north in 2004 was not sustainable. Have very high unemployment and large government budget deficits. Too much government intervention in the economy. When combined, these problems should be corrected in Cyprus. Have been properly check to make sure that our banking system and banking system in a united Cyprus will have to be properly regulated. Much more investment and new business areas will need to be opened. Currently employed in state government was also not possible to employ everyone. Encourage investment from all over Cyprus, we will have freedom. In a united Cyprus would be a much stronger our economy. And economic relations with Greece and Turkey, but it will be more. Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots together in the service sector, Accounting and Legal jobs in the banking system, They'll produce. Tourism sector through the construction of complementary products are also able to produce very good. People come to Cyprus, they will see the whole of Cyprus. All the difficulties and north to the south than in serious trouble, although a unified economy strong institutions and good public finance control, and the private sector towards the guidelines for investment promotion With the many human problems solved when you see I will be happy and kendilerinidaha feel safe they will believe. Will cut military spending and other spending decreases due to our 'peace dividend' for the things we're going to be distributed will be many more of our savings. How dividends are distributed to shareholders when it comes to your country at peace, because people will give something to the citizens despite differences will create a common future as they mature and grow. I think all of us to ensure that a greater wealth.
But in the south, have partnered with the cost of the North Cyprus there are those who think the economy will affect the poor. We will create a big problem even in the direction of the officers I've read the comments.
Will be a transition period. And transition costs of the transition becomes. But of course can not be employed too many people in the state. But these new jobs can be created easily insalara. I think a reasonable cost to meet the state sector as an economic activity that will increase tax revenue and will. For the transition period prior to the reconstruction and foreign aid for infrastructure will be needed to connect. Renewal of infrastructure in the north to have a separate investment program will be created and will open up new areas with infrastructure investments. Thus, in the north and south of a rapprochement between the income will be provided. Revenues of the Turkish Cypriots for a long time is markedly lower than the Cypriot Greeks and by the closure of economic activity in the north and the federal government will need to encourage investment. This is also the key activity is to ensure political stability.
In the case of many people in the southern settlement of the Cypriot economy, Turkey's economy will be swallowed up by thinking we know. Do you agree!
No. Turkey has a very important country and a major economy. We would like to be friend of Turkey. We would like to do business with Turkey. One of the fastest growing economies in the region so as not to want to be involved in Turkey's economy should be mad. In connection with the EU and the government's serious economic reforms that would be insane not to do business with such a country. OK, maybe some people just some of the Cypriots in the Turkish Cypriots would swallow the thought of them as by Turkey, have endişine to-swallow but this is very natural. Every change brings fear and uncertainty. The truth is that large markets more competitive, as more opportunities provide more trade and more investment. Cake will be bigger, you need to see it.
What can you do with turkey united Cyprus? Turkey on or before their air and sea ports to Cyprus would be as if the money between Turkey and South what kind of jobs can be born?
For example, we in the service sector, accounting and legal and banking systems are so good that a growing economy like Turkey need it. We can work together with Turkey in the energy sector. In the field of energy in Turkey were so many things that we'll learn something from Turkey may be. Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots can work with all parts of the world. Arab world can take the island. As part of the Euro area as well as Turkey and the Arabs can do many things. Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots to know each other and to realize common interests much easier.
The tourists came to Turkey in a united Cyprus and even Turkey are the property of their citizens, they are investing is still a nightmare for most people to imagine, but ...
May have some prejudices. But these are not insurmountable. Greece and Turkey can now do everything together. Turkey 36 years ago, of course, but we are very serious difficulties long before the Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots, we have lived together during the Ottoman Empire. We now see if anyone will be able to divide. Germans and Poles were killed in the past each other at the border, the border today do not even remember where it was. Where was the border between the German and French also do not know. Not to differences in proximity to the need to concentrate. In the turbulent transition period will be, but maybe we need to see beyond it.
Do you think the right solution at the end of this year, is it possible?
Turkey a great and powerful country. There are a great military power. If the solution is pressed turkey. In Greece, the solution can not be so large because the role does not have a direct presence. But I think a lot of things in the hands of Turkey. The interests of all Cypriots to Turkey if a fair and consistent, both Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots to protect the can, to get closer to Cyprus, leaving the hostile, friendly approach could be the solution.
Negotiating a competent economist, and Greeks as the Head of Delegation of the Economic Committee for the resolution of property issues should be made account ...
First of all, if everyone attempts to recover the money will not be able to find. This is also too much money into the economy and instability leads to a huge inflation. As much as possible to property owners there, even if not allowed to live their property need to be returned. Population balance because some of their property to ensure that, where everyone is allowed to live.
In this case, are forced to sell their goods ...
Yes they will sell. And when they sell their property, they also do not need to be compensated. People will sell their goods at a fair in the open market.
I mean look at what who sold, for example, can sell to the citizens of the Turkish Cypriots and Turkey ...
Yes. Also to the British or Dutch. Cypriot Greeks and Turks, among those who marry in the future, perhaps they would like their own, but now the amount of compensation to take place and we need to find the money we need to bring to the border. There are practical benefits in this matter. Who's a business decision on whether the property has the right to the side. In some cases, the property sits a long time people and property from the owner wants to be compensated, then you will be compensated.
In some cases such a partnership may be made at the hotel. If you make any investment in the hotel ownership at 30 years old 80 20 60 40 70 30 or may be shared. The alternative is so much more ahead of you.
For compensation and other costs you think how much money is needed?
According to his account, some of my friends have 40 billion euros.
When the crisis that the world has so much money from? Will not work ...
Conditions are much better, even if it is not Palestine. This is not a country where majority of poor people. Was thought to be the last half a million euros. EU and U.S. can perhaps give a little something but it will not be enough money to solve the ownership problem. Even this will not be taken seriously or even a coin. Will help some, but certainly not enough to solve the problem.
In the north of the Direct Trade Regulation and direct flights into the solution until the start of the Turkish Cypriot economy and may his recovery is easier. Do you agree?
This is a political question. But the Cypriots in Cyprus, a Turkish military presence is so intense when you forget everything and nothing has happened should not be expected to accept a normal healing. Moreover, while negotiations continue with the negotiations would not benefit at all. There are some improvements in the Green Line Regulation. If you need to negotiate directly even if flights are eliminated. Because it is already become a permanent division. To solve this problem instead of doubling efforts to find more reasonable focus. Moment will be a continuation of the solution that is beneficial açsından. My idea is this.
Finally, with your permission I would like to return to some past. Cypriots in 1974 and then to stand back in the economies of Greece, especially the world argue that aid is most effective. How much is this true?
I think it is not correct, because the benefits were relatively small. First of all Cypriots living standards is a significant decrease in the cost of public and private sectors working in the withdrawal of the agreed salary. Banks were providing credit facilities. Too expansionary a fiscal decision of government right poltika followed. 1960 to 1974, 14 years throughout the 10 years the state had a budget surplus. In the last four years, a very small budget deficit vardı.1974 'body in 1980 to 6%, 7% occurred in the neighborhood of a budget deficit. Because the state infrastructure, especially in housing had to spend too much money. But we were very lucky because the oil boom was in the Middle East. The majority of Cypriots in Dubai, Abu-Dhabi, Saudi Arabia, where he went to worked for many years. By working continuously and without spending extra money to gain nothing by sending their money to the country have made a major sacrifice. Burdaydı families and one day they were planning to turn and start their own businesses. You can save money returned. Construction, tourism and service sector jobs were found. Help us help ourselves as we really do, but we were. In 1960, when Britain withdrew from Cyprus, the Cypriot business people had very little. Cypriot political freedom with the freedom of entrepreneurial spirit grew. We Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots as well as the Venetians are the heirs. So good job guys out of us. I've been looking at my future with confidence, this is one reason. Maybe in the past might not be good for each other could not do much public work. But now we know each other better. Together we can repeat this time of economic experience, and in 1974.
Very nice what you said, but the Turkish Cypriots Cypriots as a society see themselves as second-class citizens, complain ...
It is true that some people think so. The Greeks in the Turkish Cypriot community who do not look so good there. Some of us to live with minorities come forward. This type of approach in the past and should remain in the past. I think we have more than enough to pay the price for this mistake. We are now living in another world. Multi-ethnic society as a society now two'll also. Korkuyarlardı of the British Polish. Now full of Poles in London. British business will come before the thought of Poles. Was not. They came to the UK economy and the impact they have created injections. Preconceived ideas when developing this type of real conditions, just remember that everything is going well. Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots together, which I invite you to a place where it is the Turkish Cypriot are not separate. Up close, these two communities, and without repeating the same mistakes closer.
