Yiannos Petri highlighted that Cyprusโ structural reforms have strengthened its economy, allowing its bonds to trade at tighter spreads versus core EU countries. He described Cyprusโ geographic position as both a ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ ๐๐ก๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐ ๐, a stable pillar in a turbulent region, offering attractive opportunities while carrying some geopolitical risk.
He also referred to the ๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐จ๐ฉ๐๐๐ง ๐๐๐ฏ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฌ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ง๐ฏ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐๐ง๐ข๐จ๐ง (๐๐๐) currently being examined by the EU as a way to channel householdsโ savings into productive investments, meeting Europeโs significant funding needs in the years ahead. This, he noted, will support key sectors such as defence, AI, and climate transition, with Cyprus well positioned to play an important role in this framework.
Finally, he added that at Athlos Capital, together with our digital platform Sophic, we fully support all efforts in this direction. Platforms like Sophic act as enablers, as they are well aligned with the European Commissionโs vision of encouraging greater household participation in investment products such as EU bonds, which can deliver positive outcomes across multiple dimensions.
