Cyprus' Short-Term Economic Outlook Improves in September 2026
What happened
Eurostat reported that Cyprus' short-term economic outlook improved in September 2026. This improvement was supported by increased retail sales turnover volume, stronger property activity, and higher credit card transactions by Cypriots. However, risks persist due to rising oil prices and weaker consumer and retailer confidence.
