IMF Executive Board Concludes 2024 Article IV Consultation with Cyprus

May 28, 2024
Cyprus recovered swiftly from the pandemic and has proven resilient to multiple adverse shocks. Growth moderated in 2023 but remained robust, above the euro area (EA) average, supported by a continued recovery in tourism, financial services and expanding ICT activity, and strong investments. Headline inflation has fallen below 2 percent, supported by declining energy prices and tighter monetary policy, but core inflation has been more persistent. Strong fiscal performance continues driven by robust revenue growth and contributing to a large decline in public debt. The banking sector has sizable capital and liquidity buffers, and despite tight financial conditions, risks appear to have declined.
