The 2025 Cyprus Corporate Lending Survey was conducted between November and December 2024 and was compiled from the views of all major financial institutions operating in Cyprus, providing unique insights into topics such as lending appetite, key lending criteria, as well as their outlook on the sector and economy over the short- to medium-term.

Beyond the traditional sectors in Cyprus, such as travel, tourism, and leisure and real estate development, participants appear to have a heightened appetite for lending in other sectors, such as renewable energy, education, and healthcare & life sciences.
