over five years the structure of foreign capital investments has changed noticeably.

🇨🇾 According to the Central Bank of Cyprus, foreign capital is increasingly directed into companies and investment funds, and not simply kept in bank accounts.

📊 How the preferences of foreign investors changed from 2021 to 2026:

🔹 Shares and stakes in companies: growth from 68.4% to 76.2%.

🔹 Bank deposits and cash: decrease from 21.5% to 15.4%.

🔹 Loans: decrease from 7.1% to 5.3%.

🔹 Bonds: decrease from 3% to 2.1%.

🏢 The main interest of foreign investors is related to business, international funds, real estate, and infrastructure projects.

📈 Cyprus is increasingly used as a platform for international investments, and local banks are gradually reorienting towards capital management and servicing large clients.

💶 The main trend: foreign investors prefer to invest money in assets rather than simply holding it in accounts.
