Cyprus’s economy continues to expand, but the widening imbalance in its external accounts deserves closer attention.

By contrast, the 2024 deficit was revised to 5.5% of GDP, down from 8.2% previously reported. These changes show that the gap widened in 2025, reversing the earlier picture of improvement. Figures for the first six months of 2026 show further pressure.
