Cyprus's Economic Growth Remains Steady at the End of 2025

Cyprus's Composite Leading Economic Index (CLEI) recorded a 2.0% increase in December 2025, according to the latest revised data from the Centre for Economic Research (CER) of the University of Cyprus. This increase is comparable to previous months (1.9% in November and October), indicating stable economic growth at the end of the year. The positive performance of the CLEI is due to contributions from various sectors, such as real estate sales, electricity production, tourism, and retail trade. In addition, the decline in crude oil prices contributes to reducing energy costs and boosting economic activity. However, the Economic Climate Index (ECI) in Cyprus showed a deterioration compared to December of the previous year, due to the worsening of the business climate in the services sector. In contrast, the ECI in the Eurozone increased, indicating positive prospects for the European economy. Overall, the stability of the CLEI suggests that the Cypriot economy maintains a steady growth trajectory, despite the challenges and uncertainty in the international environment. The CLEI is a valuable tool for the early assessment of economic activity and the prediction of trends.
