Cyprus economic growth will progressively recover in 2021-2022
Low-tax environment, large fluent English-speaking population and skilled labor force are Cyprus’ main attractions according to The Economist. Their Intelligence Unit says that Cypriot policy in 2021 has been focusing on stabilizing the economy after the economic fallout from the COVID-19 crisis. From 2022, the country will restore fiscal discipline and implement structural reforms and privatization, as agreed with the EU and the IMF. The Financial Mirror predicts that Cyprus economic growth will recover gradually in 2022, driven mainly by domestic demand. Cyprus’ economic activity contracted sharply in 2020 due to the pandemic, but a 3.1% GDP rebound is expected from 2021, according to the EU Commission spring forecast. Cyprus was ranking #54 in the World Bank’s 2019 Ease of Doing Business index (Sources: Cyprusprofile, World Bank, The Economist and The Financial Mirror).
