Bank of Cyprus, the bailed-out eurozone country's largest lender, announced plans Thursday to list its shares on the London Stock Exchange and to delist from the Athens market. The move reflects the bank's ambitions of raising its "visibility and share liquidity" on a major European exchange, BoC said in a statement.
The announcement came on the same day that Cyprus concluded its multi-billion euro bailout programme with the European Union's rescue fund.
A major financial crisis on the Mediterranean island saw the government close banks for nearly two weeks in 2013 and impose draconian capital controls when they reopened.
