Economic and credit indicators cited by organisers

Cyprus was presented as a strategic European platform for global capital with strong regional reach amid heightened geopolitical complexity. Organisers said this momentum is supported by a robust macroeconomic framework and strong economic performance.

Cyprus was described as one of the fastest growing economies in the European Union, with growth reaching 3.4 per cent in 2024 and accelerating to 4.5 per cent in late 2025. The country has returned to the “A” credit rating category across all major rating agencies, and public debt has fallen below 60 per cent of GDP. Unemployment has dropped to under 5 per cent, indicating conditions approaching full employment.
