The breakfast event featured Patsalides in the presence of Cyprus Chamber of Commerce and Industry president Stavros Stavrou and secretary-general Philokypros Roussounides.
AmCham Cyprus said the gathering brought together senior figures from the business and financial community to discuss the economy, banking and investment conditions in Cyprus and the euro area.
Patsalides shared views on developments in the economic landscape in Cyprus and the eurozone, including inflation, interest rates and the broader monetary policy outlook.
Discussions also addressed the resilience of the Cypriot banking sector, regulatory developments, and challenges and opportunities for businesses in a complex international environment.
Participants exchanged views on access to finance, the investment climate, digital transformation in financial services, and safeguarding financial stability while supporting sustainable economic growth.
