What happened
The Cyprus government introduced support packages to address rising inflation and the cost of living. Since 2023, over €1 billion has been allocated across five packages targeting inflation caused by the energy crisis and regional conflicts. Finance Minister Makis Keravnos stated the policy aims to enhance the income of workers, vulnerable persons, and households.
