Cyprus: A Resilient Gateway for Global Business Expansion

By Angelo, BA, FCCA - Managing Director, MMW Cyprus | July 4, 2025

Amid ongoing global economic uncertainty, Cyprus stands out as a beacon of resilience and opportunity. According to the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) latest report, Cyprus is projected to achieve a solid GDP growth rate of 2.5% in 2025, bolstered by its robust labor market and continued structural reforms. These fundamentals make Cyprus not only resilient but also increasingly attractive for foreign investors looking to expand their presence in the Eurozone.

The island’s economic performance continues to exceed expectations. In the first quarter of 2025, Cyprus recorded year-on-year GDP growth of 3.0%, outpacing the Eurozone average. This strong performance is driven by vigorous private consumption and thriving sectors such as financial services, hospitality, and real estate development.


Such momentum, coupled with a business-friendly environment and supportive government policies, is creating an ideal launchpad for international businesses seeking access to both EU and regional markets.
