Bank Of Cyprus Bond Issuance Garners International Acclaim

The Bank of Cyprus has been honoured with the “Best Financial Institution Bond in Southeast Europe” award by EMEA Finance for its issuance of Additional Tier 1 (AT1) capital securities worth €220 million in June 2023. This accolade highlights the bank’s financial and operational strength, particularly significant as the bond issuance successfully reopened this market segment following the collapse of Credit Suisse.

The AT1 issuance was met with extraordinary demand, with an order book oversubscribed over twelve times, exceeding €2.75 billion. This overwhelming investor interest underscores the bank’s solid reputation and market confidence in its financial health and strategic direction.

Bank of Cyprus CEO Panicos Nicolaou praised this achievement, viewing it as a milestone that aligns with the bank’s 125th anniversary celebrations. He noted that the successful bond issuance is a testament to the bank’s progress and resilience, reflecting its strategic initiatives aimed at strengthening its capital base and supporting sustainable growth.

The recognition from EMEA Finance places the Bank of Cyprus at the forefront of financial innovation and stability in the region. The award not only celebrates the bank’s past accomplishments but also sets a solid foundation for future endeavours in the evolving financial landscape.

The bond issuance and subsequent award signify a significant achievement for the Bank of Cyprus, reinforcing its position as a leading financial institution in Southeast Europe. As the bank continues to navigate the complex economic environment, this accolade serves as a reaffirmation of its strategic vision and commitment to excellence.

bbf: Presents :eden coast — The Art Of Living By The Mediterranean

Some destinations are remembered for where they are. Others for how they make us feel.

Life by the Mediterranean has a quality of its own. Defined by light, open horizons and a slower pace, it encourages a way of living where time is measured less by the clock and more by the moments that matter. It is this philosophy that inspired :eden coast.

With the unveiling of :eden coast, bbf: introduces an exceptional collection of beachfront villas in Geroskipou, Paphos, where architecture is conceived as a natural extension of its surroundings. Every residence has been designed to honour the coastline, allowing the sea, the light and the changing seasons to become the defining elements of everyday life.

At :eden coast, luxury reveals itself with quiet confidence so nothing feels excessive. It is expressed in generous space, carefully composed proportions, enduring materials and an effortless relationship between interior and exterior. Expansive glazing welcomes the Mediterranean sky indoors, while private gardens, terraces and pools encourage a life lived as much outside as within.

Few locations offer such a natural balance between tranquillity and connectivity. Set along a quieter stretch of Paphos’ coastline, :eden coast enjoys the rare privilege of beachfront living away from the crowds, where the landscape remains unspoilt and the rhythm of the Mediterranean shapes every day. Yet the cultural richness of Paphos, its vibrant dining scene, international airport and every modern convenience are all within easy reach, allowing residents to retreat into complete serenity without ever feeling removed from the world around them.

Beyond the residences, a carefully curated collection of wellness and leisure experiences extends this philosophy. Landscaped gardens, elegant swimming pools, spaces dedicated to movement and wellbeing, and thoughtfully designed communal areas encourage a slower, richer way of living. They are not amenities in the conventional sense; they are an expression of a lifestyle shaped by balance, privacy and quiet sophistication.

“Our ambition was never simply to create beautiful residences. It was to create a place where architecture, landscape and everyday life exist in complete harmony—a place that feels as though it has always belonged to the coastline,”

says Artem Burtsev at bbf:.

In a world that rarely slows down, :eden coast offers something increasingly rare: the freedom to live at a different pace. Here, mornings begin with the sea, nature sets the rhythm of the day, and the energy of Paphos is always within easy reach. It is a place where tranquillity and connectivity exist in perfect balance, allowing residents to experience the Mediterranean not as a destination, but as a way of life.
