“Cyprus offers a strategic location, favourable tax environment, educated work force, excellent telecommunications, modern banking and legal infrastructure which make the country the perfect business bridge for the European Union and the Middle East” The Wall Street Journal, 5 May 2004 Capitalizing on its strategic location, Cyprus has developed through the years into a reputable international services hub especially in the banking and shipping activities. Since Cyprus's accession to the European Union, its role as a business bridge between Europe, Asia and Africa is further being enhanced.
Cyprus offers a unique basket of advantages to foreign investors utilising Cyprus as a base for conducting their business activities worldwide.
Cyprus' competitive advantages derive from its strategic geographical location, favourable business climate, fiscal regime, stable macroeconomic environment, high educational level of the labour force in conjunction with the comparatively low level of graduates’ remuneration, modern legal, banking and financing systems, excellent infrastructure with advanced transport and telecommunications network, as well as the widespread knowledge of English.
