About Cyprus
Cyprus has a modern, free-market, service-based economy, and its efficient and transparent regulatory and legal framework instills confidence in international investors and businesses to invest, expand, and flourish. Cyprus is ranked 54th out of 190 countries in the World Bank's Ease of Doing Business Index 2020. Following the extensive and painful restructuring of the country's financial sector, the government has taken a number of additional steps to aid the economy's recovery. These policies are aimed, among other things, at promoting economic growth.
