Cyprus: economic consequences of the Christofias–Talat/Eroglu Plan

This paper analyzes the economic consequences of the Christofias–Talat/Eroglu Plan for the reunification of Cyprus and concludes that the economic costs and benefits of the proposed plan would be unequally distributed with the costs falling disproportionately on the Greek‐Cypriot‐controlled south. Thus, the much publicized economic ‘peace dividend’ of the Christofias–Talat/Eroglu framework, for a solution to the Cyprus Problem that would end the division of the island, falls short of compensating for its political weaknesses.
