1.0 The structure of Cyprus banking crisis
Cyprus banking crisis was triggered by Greece debt crisis and European debt crisis deepening. The crisis eventually turned into Cypriot financial crisis in 2012, which not only severe impacted Cypriot economy, but also brought a complex issue to Europe. The Cyprus banking crisis is not only as a result of Greece debt crisis, but also the characteristics of Cyprus and its banking system.
First of all, Cyprus has been becoming one of most popular offshore financial centers since the 1980s, because there was completely tax exemption on capital gains.

Based on above analyses, it concludes that Cyprus banking crisis is inevitable.
