The government, a bank, and a workers' union have made a new agreement. They will pay money to about 700 bank employees. These workers lost money during a big financial crisis in Cyprus in 2013. At that time, the bank used people's savings to save itself. The government later paid most people back, but not the bank workers. This was seen as very unfair. The new deal will fix this problem.
The Bank of Cyprus also shared its recent financial results. The bank's profit went down by 12% compared to last year. This is because it made less money from interest. However, the bank is also doing very well in other areas. It gave out many new loans, and more people are putting their money in the bank. The bank's leader said this growth was very healthy. Because the bank is strong, it also gave money back to its shareholders.
This agreement helps to solve an old problem for workers, and the bank's results show it has a positive future.
