Cyprus President Outlines Strategic Steps To Address Energy Crisis And Cyprus Resolution

The Cyprus government is preparing additional measures to address rising energy costs, with spending already exceeding €100 million, President Nikos Christodoulidis said. Announcements are expected later this week. Comments were made during a press briefing that also covered developments related to the Cyprus issue. The government is managing both economic and political priorities.

Government Measures To Combat The Energy Crisis

The President said more than €100 million has already been allocated to support households and businesses facing higher energy prices. Additional measures are under preparation. Ongoing discussions involve the Ministry of Finance, with further support under consideration. The government is expected to present new steps in a public address.

Dialogue With The United Nations

The President referred to recent developments following the National Council meeting, noting that some confidential discussions had become public. He said the disclosures raised concerns about the handling of sensitive information. António Guterres is expected to submit a framework for a Cyprus settlement before the end of his term. According to the President, recent discussions with the United Nations were productive.

Economic Initiatives To Curb Price Increases

Efforts are focused on limiting the impact of energy costs on households and businesses. Measures include financial support and policy actions aimed at stabilizing prices. Further details are expected in the coming days, as the government prepares additional announcements.

Women Accounted For More Than Half Of Scientists In 10 EU Regions

In Portugal’s Continente region, 265,100 women worked as scientists and engineers in 2025, representing 46% of the total workforce in these occupations.

Across the EU, women made up more than half of all scientists and engineers in 10 regions. Four were located in Spain, two in Portugal and one in Greece. The remaining regions were Poland’s Makroregion centralny, Sweden’s northernmost region and France’s outermost regions.

Most of these areas had relatively small numbers of scientists and engineers overall. Spain’s Noreste region was the largest, with 102,700 women in these occupations, accounting for 51% of its total workforce.

Women’s Representation Varies Across Europe

The figures highlight considerable regional differences in both the number of women working in science and engineering and their share of the overall workforce.

Cyprus remains below the EU average, with women accounting for 37.8% of scientists and engineers. However, this share is broadly comparable to that of Île-de-France, one of Europe’s largest centres of scientific and engineering employment.
