Prices in Cyprus are going up. In January 2026, things cost 1.7% more. This is a big change. Last month, prices only went up 0.1%.
This can make life hard for people. Bills are already very expensive. People are worried about money.
In other countries in the Eurozone, prices went down. They are now at 1.7%. But in Cyprus, prices are rising fast. This means it costs more to live.
Electricity bills are very high. Some are 4,000 TL. Some are even 13,000 TL. Water bills are also costly. They can be 1,000 TL to 2,000 TL.
Families find it hard to pay. People say they work to pay bills. One person said, "My electricity bill is high." They also said, "My water bill is a lot. We cannot manage."
Cyprus needs to lower prices. The country must also help people.
