Financial Sector a Pillar of Growth

The Cypriot economy is expected to continue growing at a rate of over 3% in 2025 and the next three years, exceeding the Eurozone average. This growth is based on the strong rise of the services sector, tourism, domestic consumption and investments. Inflation has decreased, the banking sector has been strengthened and the fiscal surplus is expected to remain above 3%. In addition, public debt is projected to fall to 55% of GDP by the end of 2025. The financial sector is expected to remain a pillar of growth, while the government is promoting a major tax reform. However, the challenges that exist are emphasized, such as safeguarding the country's credibility and combating organized crime.
