The Department of Accounting, Finance and Economics of the European University Cyprus Cordially invites you to the workshop entitled: “The Eurozone debt crisis: the options now, with special reference to Cyprus” on Wednesday, 30^th of January, at 11:00-13:00, Auditorium Delta (New Building, 1^st Floor), European University Cyprus, Nicosia.

Speakers:

Dr. Mitu Gulati, Professor of Law, Duke University. Dr. Gulati was instrumental in suggesting the feasibility of a reduction of Greek debt through swaps, suggesting that collective action clauses allowed enough negotiation room for debtors to come to a deal with their creditors. His Joint paper with Lee C. Buchheit in 2010 proposed a way for Greece to force investors who wanted to reject a deal to nevertheless suffer the same loss as those who agreed.

 

Lee C. Buchheit, Partner at Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP and Visiting Professorial Fellow in the Centre for Commercial Law Studies at the University of London. He was an instrumental part of the team of lawyers who managed the new deals between investors and the Greek state and has been vital in providing leverage for indebted countries to compel holdout creditors into deals favorable for the debtor.

 

Fiona Mullen, Director of Sapienta Economics. Fiona Mullen and Sapienta Economics has been providing detailed reports on the economy of Cyprus for the past decade, and has extensively written about the existing Cypriot debt and the possible repercussions of its renegotiation.
