Revised Criteria for Strategic Investor at the Cyprus Stock Exchange
August 31, 2025
The strategic investor for the privatization of the Cyprus Stock Exchange (CSE) must meet specific quality criteria set by the Ministry of Finance. Following concerns expressed by parliament members, the legislation has been revised to ensure the investor selection process is open and transparent. This process will involve a call for expressions of interest and an assessment of candidates to safeguard the public interest. Additionally, amendments have been made regarding the labor rights of CSE employees. However, some union concerns remain unaddressed.
