Arabnews.com: Middle East conflict creates economic risks for Greece and Cyprus
Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East are increasing credit and economic risks for Cyprus' banking sector and key industries.
Ongoing conflict in the Middle East is raising economic and credit risks for Cyprus, particularly affecting banks with heavy exposure to tourism-linked loans. The Central Bank of Cyprus has revised down 2026 GDP growth projections and warned of higher inflation and short-term economic pressures. The island's tourism, shipping, construction, and real estate sectors are identified as vulnerable to external shocks from prolonged conflict, higher energy prices, and reduced travel demand.
