Fiscal Balance in Cyprus

Cyprus - Fiscal Balance
A flash estimate revealed that GDP grew 0.7% quarter-on-quarter in Q1, an identical pace to Q4 2021. While a detailed breakdown is not yet available, the services sector likely supported activity thanks to lower unemployment and reduced Covid-19 restrictions. Moreover, industrial output gained steam in January–February in annual terms. Turning to Q2, momentum is likely easing as food and energy price hikes due to the Ukraine War take their toll. Business and consumer confidence plummeted in April, boding poorly for consumption and private investment in the second quarter. While the recent lifting of all remaining travel restrictions will benefit the tourism sector, the reliance on Russian tourists will prevent the sector’s full recovery. Finally, in May the EU Commission recommended focusing on reducing non-performing loans and mitigating climate change risks.Cyprus - Fiscal Balance Data
