The major issues in today’s financial press are the risk of the assessment of the Cyprus program to fall off the Eurogroup agenda on Friday and the return of Bank of Cyprus to the CSE in late October.

The “Economy” inset of newspaper “Phileleftheros” refers to the risk of the assessment of the Cyprus program to fall off the Eurogroup agenda on Friday. According to a troika executive, Eurogroup will be called to decide on the Cyprus program as soon as all requirements are met. The troika believes that the solution of referring the six draft laws approved by the parties to the Supreme Court leaves a significant obligation of the Republic pending and, therefore, the proposal for the disbursement of the next tranche of €350 million cannot be submitted to the Eurogroup.

Elsewhere the newspaper reports that Bank of Cyprus will possibly return to the CSE in October.
