Banks in Cyprus will remain closed for another two days as officials try to find a new plan to stave off financial ruin, the central bank’s spokeswoman said.
Aliki Stylianou confirmed the additional two-day closure.
As next Monday is a national bank holiday in Cyprus, the institutions will not reopen before next Tuesday at the earliest.
The cash-strapped lenders have been closed since Saturday, when Cyprus said it would raid bank deposits to avoid a bank run and help fund its international bailout package.
The parliament this week rejected the plan to take a portion of bank deposits, leaving the country’s bailout plan in doubt.
Cypriot officials are looking for alternative ways to raise the 5.8 billion euro (£4.97 billion) the country’s euro area partners and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) expect in order to loan another 10 billion euro (£8.57 billion).
