Cyprus’ biggest bank to list on London Stock Exchange
– canadianbusiness.com
NICOSIA, Cyprus – Cyprus’ biggest bank said Tuesday it’s applying for a listing on the London Stock Exchange to boost its profile, attract investors and expand its access to capital.
The Bank of Cyprus said it intends to maintain a listing on the Cyprus Stock Exchange, but won’t be listed on the Athens Exchange.
The bank said it has incorporated a holding company for the Bank of Cyprus Group in Ireland in order to be eligible for inclusion in the London Stock Exchange’s premium listings.
But the lender’s headquarters, management and operations will remain in Cyprus.
“We believe that the Bank and its stakeholders will benefit from the greater profile, liquidity and access to capital that a London listing offers,” said Bank of Cyprus Chairman Josef Ackermann in a statement. He added the higher profile would help boost confidence in the bank and help it support economic growth in the east Mediterranean island nation.
The bank was at the centre of a multibillion-euro rescue deal Cyprus agreed in 2013 with its eurozone partners that saved it from bankruptcy…

What are the tax rules for LIRAs?
– moneysense.ca
Q: My LIRA is currently valued at $48,000. I am 49 years of age. I am employed part time, with low annual income of about $10,000, but we don’t anticipate needing the money until age 65 to 70. I have always assumed that any investments that can be held in an RRSP can also be held in a LIRA. I am now concerned that this may not be the case. I am also unclear as to how I will access this money in the future. What are the taxation rules and can I switch to an annuity at any time without being taxed?
—Claudia
A: Let’s start with what a LIRA is. A LIRA or Locked-In Retirement Account is an RRSP with restrictions on the use of the funds to ensure it is used for lifetime retirement income. It falls under pension legislation which varies from province to province. Typically the earliest you can withdraw funds from a LIRA is age 55 and it must be rolled into a Life Income Fund (LIF) or used to purchase a life annuity.
Claudia can invest within the LIRA as if it is an RRSP. Choose a mix of investments that are moderate to aggressive given the 15+ years ahead…
