10 Preface This book is intended to be a comprehensive study of the banking system in Cyprus from the time that the first bank was founded on the island in The aim is to present not only the history of banking over this one hundred and thirty year period but a thorough analytical discussion as well. In addition, I examine likely future developments in the banking industry of Cyprus. I hope that the book be of value to students, academics and practitioners. Undergraduate and postgraduate students taking financial development courses will find both the general analysis and that specific to Cyprus on the development of financial structures of great interest. At the same time, academics and banking practitioners who are interested in the onshore and offshore banking activities on the island will find the book informative on both past developments and the present situation. The motivations for writing this book have been many. Through my visits to the banks in Cyprus in the early 19808, I became aware of the lack of a comprehensive study of the banking system on the island despite the many Cypriot academics and scholars in Cyprus and the rest of the world. At the same time, I was becoming interested in the financial aspects of developing countries as a result of my research and teaching responsibilities. It became clear to me that undertaking a study of banking in Cyprus would give me the opportunity to examine the development of the financial structure of a small economy and indeed of an ex-british colony. Very few authoritative studies have been written on these topics. Finally, the most important reason for this research was a desire to offer something tangible, however small, to my native country. Being a member of a University Department of Banking and Finance gave me a comparative advantage over others in this field of research. I am greatly indebted to the Cyprus Popular Bank for the financial and other support that it has given to me. Indeed the book could not have been made possible without its kind assistance. The subject was first raised with Mr Kikis N. Lazarides, the Chairman of the Bank, in the mid-1980s. The initial proposal was to write a short book on the historical development of the banking system in Cyprus. Through the years, however, the book evolved into a comprehensive study not only xi

11 XII Preface of the development of the banking system but also of its current state and future prospects. I would like to thank in particular the following members of the Bank: Mr Panayiotis Mallis who was always ready to discuss innumerable issues that emerged during the writing of the book; Alecos Sergides, who although no longer with the Bank, provided me with invaluable help in collecting and discussing the information used in the book, especially the historical material; and Niki Papadopoulou and Yiannis Tirkides for assisting me in the later stages of my research. I am also grateful to many other people who helped me either by providing information or in giving their comments on earlier drafts of the manuscript. The book benefited enormously from the comments of Christopher Clay (who also provided me with some important documents from the surviving archives of the Imperial Ottoman Bank), Forest Capie, Geoffrey Jones, Leslie Presnell and Geoffrey Wood. I am also indebted to the Cyprus Public Records Office, the Bank of Cyprus, the Cyprus Popular Bank and the Ionian Bank for permission to use their archives. I am particularly grateful to the many people at the Central Bank of Cyprus, the Bank of Cyprus, Barclays Bank, Lombard Natwest and the Development Bank, who gave their time to answer my queries and for sending me information. I also benefited from the suggestions and comments of participants at the British Middle Eastern Society Conferences, the Institute of Commonwealth Studies, and the City University Business School workshops. I would like to thank my secretary Kathleen Bergin, who undertook the typing of the book. She carried out the task with great efficiency and cheerfulness and produced an excellent typescript. Finally, I want to thank my husband Akis, my daughter Alexandra and my son George for their encouragement and for their support in helping me complete this book. I thank them for being so patient during our holidays in Cyprus when I spent so much time collecting information and interviewing people. I will never forget the times Alexandra fell asleep on library carpets while waiting for me to go through piles of old newspapers in an effort to unravel the past. Holidays in Cyprus will never be the same again: for most of the last eight years they have been associated with writing this book. KATE PHYLAKTIS
