🇬🇧 English

The report assesses Cyprus’s economy and policy outlook for 2026, highlighting strong recent growth but warning that the Middle East conflict creates new risks. Cyprus is expected to keep growing faster than the EU average, supported by services exports, private consumption, and earlier investment gains. For businesses and compliance teams, the main practical signals are higher inflation, weaker tourism receipts, softer investment, and continued exposure to imported energy shocks. Companies in tourism, energy-dependent sectors, financial services, ICT, and cross-border trade should watch demand, cost, and supply risks closely.
