Shifting Trends in Foreign Investment in Cyprus
November 2, 2026
While Cypriot savers seek security, foreign investors are actively choosing the Cypriot business model, demonstrating a significant shift in their investment behavior. The share of stocks rose to 76.2% of foreign wealth in 2026, up from 68.4% in 2021. Cyprus is increasingly seen as a gateway for international investments, with growing interest in real estate and infrastructure. This transformation is aided by compliance with strict European anti-money laundering regulations. Notably, the use of cash has decreased significantly, dropping to 15.4% of foreign portfolios by 2026.
