Cyprus’s banks will open for six hours tomorrow with capital restrictions in place after staying shut for almost two weeks as the island nation faced financial collapse.

Capital controls include a 300-euro ($383) daily limit on withdrawals and will restrict transfers to accounts outside Cyprus, according to a decree from the Central Bank of Cyprus. The decree will remain valid for four days, according to an e-mailed statement from the bank today.
