Central Bank: Bank Profits at €1 Billion in 2025, Annual Decrease of 14%

The profitability of the Cypriot banking sector is expected to decrease by 13.9% in 2025, reaching €1 billion from €1.2 billion in 2024. This decrease is mainly due to a reduction in net interest income. The total assets of the banking sector increased by 6.6% in 2025, reaching €70 billion, due to the increase in loans and debt securities. The Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio improved by 1.1 percentage points, reaching 25.8% at the end of 2025, due to the increase in capital and the reduction in risk. These figures were published by the Central Bank of Cyprus and provide an updated picture of the state of the banking sector.
