The growth was supported by strong performances in the tourism and retail sectors, demonstrating the economy&#8217;s resilience despite external challenges.<\/p>\n<h2>Key Sectors Driving Positive Momentum<\/h2>\n<p>According to the Economics Research Centre (CypERC) at the University of Cyprus, which compiles the index, the positive performance was underpinned by several key indicators.<\/p>\n<p>The main drivers included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A continued rise in tourist arrivals.<\/li>\n<li>Robust activity and growth in retail trade.<\/li>\n<li>A beneficial fall in the international price of Brent crude oil, which helps ease business costs and inflationary pressures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Navigating External Headwinds<\/h2>\n<p>The report noted that the 1.8% growth rate, while solid, represents a moderation from the slightly higher increases seen in July (2.2%) and August (2.1%).<\/p>\n<p>This moderation is attributed to several factors the economy is navigating, including a less favorable Economic Sentiment Indicator (ESI) in the euro area. Domestic factors such as a dip in temperature-adjusted electricity production and a slowdown in property sales contracts also contributed to the pace of growth.<\/p>\n<h2>A Resilient Outlook<\/h2>\n<p>The CypERC&#8217;s overall assessment suggests that the Cypriot economy is successfully navigating a complex global environment. While it remains sensitive to geopolitical developments and economic uncertainty, the index confirms that the underlying momentum remains positive and on a path of steady growth.<\/p>\n<p><i>Source: Stockwatch.com.cy<\/i><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Cypriot economy continued on its positive growth trajectory in September, with the Cyprus Composite Leading Economic Index (CCLEI) recording a solid 1.8% year-over-year increase.
