EU Said to Discuss Cyprus Capital Controls, Longer Bank Holiday

European policy makers are in Cyprus discussing further capital controls and the extension of a bank holiday through to the end of the week, said a European official familiar with the talks.

No decisions have been made yet, said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the discussions are confidential. The officials, which come from the European Central Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the European Commission, may wait until the outcome of an ECB Governing Council meeting that starts in Frankfurt tomorrow, said the person.
