EY Cyprus Managing Partner Urges Recognition of Future Challenges

The Country Managing Partner of EY Cyprus emphasizes the need to recognize the next challenges facing the Cypriot economy, despite its recent resilience and success. While the economy grew by 3.2% in 2025 and received upgrades from credit rating agencies, the international environment remains uncertain due to geopolitical tensions, economic pressures, and technological developments. Maintaining positive momentum requires fiscal discipline, accelerated reforms, strengthening the banking system, and diversifying the production model, with a focus on technology and sustainable development. The upcoming tax reform, the first in 22 years, can act as a lever for upgrading the economy if implemented correctly.
