An Invest Cyprus press release said it was the biggest increase registered in this year’s index and it is a very important reflection of the government and Cyprus Invest efforts.

The FDI Performance Index ranks countries according to the foreign direct investment they attract in proportion to the size of their economy. The significant increase in foreign investments and in particular those related to new projects (Greenfield) is of great importance for the Cypriot economy. This performance is also reflected in the strong recovery of 5.5% of GDP recorded in 2021.

Cyprus also ranks among the 10 top countries which stand out for the recovery of investments following the pandemic. It says direct investments in Cyprus show a 150% increase in the first half of 2022, compared to the corresponding period in 2019. Also noteworthy is the increase in investments as far as software and IT is concerned, showing a 600% increase in 2022 compared to the corresponding period in 2019.
