The real estate market in Cyprus has surged forward in 2025, marking a significant 15% increase in property sales compared to the previous year. This remarkable growth in the first quarter is highlighted by the 4,137 sale documents filed, as per reports from the Registration Council of Real Estate Agents.

While there was a slight decrease of 2.9% in transaction volume, the sales value saw a robust increase of 15%, surpassing €1.1 billion annually. This promising start to the year reflects sustained demand and better alignment of supply to market needs.

August 25, 2026

The MAGNiTT Tech Index fell 4.6% in July, marking its second consecutive monthly decline as technology stocks weakened across global markets. MGTI closed the month at 165.24, down 4.76% in 2026 and 24.88% from its January 2025 peak.

Despite the decline, the index remained 65.24% above its January 2023 inception level. Its lower correlation with global technology benchmarks also limited its exposure to the broader technology sell-off.

Saudi Technology Stocks Lead The Decline

Saudi technology companies accounted for much of July’s decline. Nice One fell 21.3%, Jahez dropped 17.2%, and Rasan declined 15.7%, while Talabat gave back part of its second-quarter recovery.

Only three of the index’s 15 constituents ended July higher. MGTI also underperformed regional equity markets, with Saudi Arabia falling 1.89% and Dubai declining 2.69% during the month.

MGTI Shows Lower Correlation With Global Tech

July marked a reversal in global technology stocks, with MSCI EM IT falling 12.81% and MSCI ACWI IT declining 5.64%. MGTI’s lower correlation with those benchmarks limited the decline, with a correlation of 0.36 to MSCI EM IT.

The index also has limited exposure to semiconductors and large-cap AI companies that have driven much of the recent global technology rally. Its performance therefore differs from the broader global technology cycle.

MGTI Remains Above Its 2023 Level

MGTI has gained 65.24% since its January 2023 inception despite its recent declines. The index entered August down 4.76% for 2026 and nearly 25% below its January 2025 peak.
