Citing fresh preliminary data, Keravnos revealed that Cyprus capped off 2025 with a seasonally adjusted growth rate of 4.5% in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"2\">The figure is a significant beat against the broader European Union average, positioning Cyprus as a regional leader in economic resilience.<\/p>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"4\"><b data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">A &#8220;Triple Threat&#8221; of Economic Success<\/b><\/h3>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5\">The Finance Minister emphasized that this growth is not merely a statistical anomaly but the result of a &#8220;people-centered and disciplined&#8221; fiscal strategy. According to the Statistical Service of Cyprus (Cystat), the late-2025 surge was primarily fueled by three high-octane sectors:<\/p>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"6\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Technology &amp; ICT:<\/b> The &#8220;Information and Communication&#8221; sector continues to expand as Cyprus establishes itself as a Mediterranean tech hub.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Retail &amp; Commerce:<\/b> Wholesale and motor vehicle repairs showed robust activity.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6,2,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"6,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Tourism &amp; Hospitality:<\/b> &#8220;Hotels and Restaurants&#8221; capitalized on a record-breaking year for arrivals.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"8\"><b data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">The &#8220;Zero Inflation&#8221; Milestone<\/b><\/h3>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"9\">In a statement that will resonate with local households, Keravnos announced that inflation in Cyprus has effectively reached &#8220;zero levels.&#8221; This dramatic cooling of prices is expected to act as a significant booster for local purchasing power. &#8220;Zero inflation provides a predictable environment for our citizens and businesses,&#8221; the Minister noted, adding that it creates a solid foundation for long-term planning and investment.<\/p>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"11\"><b data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Fiscal Discipline and Full Employment<\/b><\/h3>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"12\">The Minister also drew attention to the island&#8217;s &#8220;dynamic&#8221; labor market.
