It's an island and a member of the EU, but it'salso a tax haven. Those low taxes have made it apopular place for rich Russians to put their cash.
The result of all this money going into Cypruswas predictable: the banks grew to a ridiculouslylarge size, with assets being 8 times larger thanthe national GDP.
The big Cypriot banks made a really badinvestment. They lent money to Greece. Whenthe Greek economy took a dive, the Cypriot
banks took a bigger gamble, buying up Greekgovernment bonds in the hopes of a bailout. Nowthey're broke. The banks owe more money thanthey have. In fact they owe more money thanthe country's GDP.

Even though the EU/IMF was lending 10 billion,that still wasnt enough to pay for the entirebailout. An additional 7 billion was needed, andthe EU was making Cypriots pay for thisremaining amount out of their own pockets.
1.2 billion of that would come from the
government austerity measures, such as cuts tospending and raising taxes. The remaining 5.8billion would come from imposing a tax onCypriot bank accounts. For people with accountsover 100,000 the tax would be 9.9%, while
accounts below that number would be taxed6.75%.

Fearing the government was coming for their
cash, Cypriots ran to the bank. The
government declared a national holiday and
closed the banks, so everyone ran to the ATM
outside the bank. There were restriction on
how much cash could be withdrawn, but that
didn't stop people from waiting in long lines
to get what they could of their money.
