What is happening

What the sources report

The rating agency Fitch upgraded the credit rating of the Republic of Cyprus from A- to A, with a stable outlook that was previously positive.[1]

According to the rating agency, the upgrade reflects continued strong fiscal performance, including the rapid reduction of public debt.[2]

For 2026, Fitch forecasts a general government surplus of 3.2% of GDP.[3]

President Nikos Christodoulides says in a post on X that the upgrade is a strong confirmation of the resilience of the Cypriot economy.[4]
