by THEFUTURE.TEAM

September 20, 2024

The Cyprus government has submitted its proposed state budget for 2025 to the Council of Ministers, outlining three primary goals aimed at securing economic stability and fostering sustainable growth. This budget comes at a time when Cyprus is navigating a post-pandemic recovery while contending with global economic challenges, including inflationary pressures and geopolitical uncertainties. The proposed financial framework reflects the government’s commitment to fiscal responsibility, social welfare, and green development while seeking to strengthen key sectors of the economy.

1. Fiscal Discipline and Economic Stability

The first priority of the 2025 state budget is to maintain fiscal discipline and ensure economic stability. Cyprus has demonstrated resilience in recent years, recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic’s economic fallout and managing inflationary pressures. However, the government remains cautious about external factors such as rising energy costs and global market volatility.

The budget aims to strike a balance between controlling public debt and continuing to support growth. Measures to improve revenue collection, manage public spending efficiently, and reduce the fiscal deficit are central to this goal. By adhering to fiscal prudence, the government seeks to safeguard Cyprus’ financial standing while maintaining investor confidence.

2. Strengthening Social Welfare

The second key focus of the 2025 budget is on enhancing social welfare and improving the standard of living for all citizens. The government plans to allocate substantial resources to healthcare, education, and social security, addressing inequalities exacerbated by the pandemic. Investments in healthcare infrastructure, digitalisation of public services, and expanded social protection programmes will be essential to this effort.

In addition, the budget includes targeted measures to support vulnerable groups, including low-income families, the elderly, and the unemployed. By increasing social spending, the government aims to ensure that the benefits of economic growth are shared across all segments of society, promoting social cohesion and reducing poverty levels.

3. Promoting Green and Digital Transformation

The third strategic pillar of the 2025 budget is the promotion of green and digital transformation, aligned with the European Union’s sustainability and innovation goals. The Cypriot government is committed to meeting its climate targets and transitioning towards a more sustainable economy. Investments in renewable energy, energy efficiency, and green technologies will form a significant part of the budget. These initiatives will not only help reduce Cyprus’ carbon footprint but also stimulate job creation in emerging sectors.

On the digital front, the budget outlines plans to enhance digital infrastructure and foster innovation across industries. By promoting digitalisation, the government aims to increase productivity, attract foreign investment, and make Cyprus a competitive player in the global digital economy. This includes the ongoing modernisation of public administration and further investment in ICT (Information and Communications Technology) to improve the efficiency of government services.

Elevating Infant Nutrition: Nara Organics Unveils Premium Organic Formula

July 30, 2025

The Origins Of A Vision

When Esther Hallam welcomed her daughter Nara into the world, she immediately confronted a formidable challenge: identifying a trustworthy, high-quality organic infant formula. In a U.S. market dominated by cost-cutting practices—such as the use of skim milk supplemented with oils to meet nutritional standards—Hallam observed a disconnect between established availability and uncompromised quality. Research linking corn syrup to obesity and palm oil to reduced calcium absorption only reinforced her resolve to seek a safer alternative.

Redefining Industry Standards

Frustrated by the limitations of existing options, Hallam devoted seven years to developing an organic, whole-milk formula with the expertise of leading scientists and pediatric nutritionists. Nara Organics distinguishes itself by offering the highest percentage of milk fat of any formula on the U.S. market and a significantly reduced reliance on plant-based oils. The carefully selected blend of organic sunflower, coconut, and rapeseed oils not only meets nutritional needs but also minimizes potential health risks inherent to additives like palm oil, soy, and corn syrup.

Manufacturing Excellence In Germany

Rather than manufacturing domestically—a decision influenced by previous concerns over Cronobacter contamination in American facilities—Nara Organics leverages the advanced, oxygen-controlled production environment of a German facility, widely regarded as the birthplace of powdered infant formula. Chief Marketing Officer Meika Hollender detailed that their unique manufacturing process, which minimizes oxygen exposure during can sealing, substantially extends shelf life and preserves formula integrity, setting a new standard in infant nutrition.

Strategic Investment And Market Impact

Backed by $32 million from prominent investors including AlleyCorp, BBG Ventures, Corazon Ventures, Gingerbread Capital, and Torch Capital, Nara Organics has also garnered support from high-profile celebrity investors such as Serena Williams, Gina Rodriguez, and Nicky Hilton. This robust investment positions the company at the vanguard of an organic infant formula market projected to grow from $20.7 billion in 2023 to $37 billion by 2032.

Enhancing Consumer Accessibility And Community Commitment

Nara Organics is available for purchase directly via its website, subscription models, and a dedicated mobile app that assists parents in tracking essential aspects of infant care. To underscore its commitment to community well-being, the company is donating over 1,400 cans of formula to the Good+ Foundation, which strives to alleviate multi-generational poverty by providing essential services to under-resourced families.

By merging state-of-the-art production with a commitment to organic, high-quality ingredients, Nara Organics is poised to redefine the benchmarks of infant nutrition in a competitive, evolving market.
