Investor Presentaiton
Moderate current account deficits
• Cyprus presents small to moderate current account
deficits, within sustainable levels.
• Companies statistically registered as Special Purpose
Entities (SPEs) in Cyprus, have strong balance sheets
relative to the size of the economy but minor real
economic activity in the domestic economy. Exclusion
of SPES provides a more accurate picture of the
external position.
