Cyprus Residence by Investment (RIP)
Cyprus, with its warm and stable climate and convenient geographical position, is considered an attractive place for both business and residence. The investment landscape in Cyprus is beneficial due to the island’s well-qualified labor force and a reliable transport and telecommunications system.
Cyprus has a modern, free-market, service-based economy, where in conjunction with its effective and transparent regulatory and legal framework, it offers international investors and businesses confidence to invest, grow and prosper. Cyprus was ranked number 53 out of 190 countries on the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business Index 2018. A number of new measures have been put into place designed to reboot the economy in the wake of the massive and difficult restructuring of the country’s banking sector, which aim, among other things, at helping stimulate economic growth.
