So only people lose from inflation, people with liquid assets, not bludgers. <br /><br />Remember that if you had deposited say half a million pounds into Euros in Cyprus the day Gordon Brown lost the election - you'd better of today after the 25% confiscation than if you'd just kept the money in a bank in the UK. And you'd be far better off after a 25% confiscation in Euros than if Cyprus goes back to the Cypriot Pound.<br /><br /><br />Of course, you've got to get your money out as soon as the banks reopen....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560636882691523439.post-25341080778571635662013-03-25T09:26:17.744+13:002013-03-25T09:26:17.744+13:00Mark

That estimate's conservative, some say up around 95%.
