Cyprus had good economic growth in the last three months of 2025. The economy grew by 4.5%. This is a big success for the country. Cyprus is now the second-fastest growing economy in the European Union. This is much better than the average growth in Europe. President Nikos Christodoulides said this shows the government's good economic plan is working.
The official statistics service, Cystat, shared these numbers on Friday. The economy is doing very well. The growth is higher than expected. People thought the economy would grow by 3.75% for the whole year. President Christodoulides said this growth is a sign of trust. He also said it is a result of their careful economic policy. This strong economy will help the government spend more money to make people's lives better.
In other parts of Europe, the Eurozone economy also grew. However, it grew more slowly. In the last three months of 2025, the Eurozone economy grew by 0.3% compared to the previous quarter. It grew by 1.4% compared to the year before. Jobs in the Eurozone also stayed strong. Employment grew by 0.2% compared to the last quarter. It grew by 0.6% compared to the year before. These numbers are good for the euro currency.
The European Central Bank (ECB) said it will keep its current money policy. A member of the ECB, Gabriel Makhlouf, said inflation is mostly on target. This means the ECB is happy with its current plan. This stable policy is important for businesses in the Eurozone.
The United Kingdom's economy did not grow as much. In the last three months of 2025, the UK economy grew by only 0.1%. The yearly growth was 1.0%. This slower growth creates some worry for the British pound. The ECB and Cyprus have better economic news. The Bank of England is expected to keep its money policy strict. This may cause mixed feelings in currency markets. The different economic results show that national plans can be very effective. Cyprus will now focus on keeping its economy strong.
