Cyprus Industrial Production Accelerates In September 2025, Eurostat Reports

Cyprus has demonstrated robust industrial growth in September 2025, as preliminary estimates from Eurostat reveal a notable 1.0 percent month-on-month increase. This surge in production comes as Cyprus’ manufacturing sector outperformed broader recovery trends observed within both the Euro area and the European Union.

Manufacturing Momentum Amid Economic Shifts

Following a period of stability in August 2025, Cyprus’ industrial output surged, reversing months of modest performance. The data, collected over the past six months, indicates a generally positive trajectory for the country’s industrial activity, with a minor dip in May 2025 offset by consistent growth in subsequent months.

Comparative Analysis Across The Eurozone And EU

In contrast, the wider Euro area experienced only a 0.2 percent increase in industrial production in September, a rebound from a 1.1 percent decline in the previous month. Across the European Union, the recovery was more pronounced with a 0.8 percent rise. Year-over-year comparisons further emphasize these trends, registering increases of 1.2 percent in the Euro area and 2.0 percent in the EU.

Sectoral Dynamics And National Variations

Disaggregated data highlights that production of intermediate goods, energy, and capital goods recorded modest increases, while production in durable and non-durable consumer goods lagged behind, with declines noted in both categories. Notably, intermediate goods rose by 0.3 percent, energy by 1.2 percent, and capital goods by 0.3 percent, while durable consumer goods fell by 0.5 percent and non-durable consumer goods by 2.6 percent in the Euro area. Similar sectoral patterns were evident across the broader EU.

Leading Economies And Notable Declines

Among EU member states, Denmark (+7.2 percent), Sweden (+5.3 percent), and Greece (+4.8 percent) emerged as the frontrunners in monthly industrial production growth. Conversely, Ireland (-9.4 percent), Luxembourg (-5.7 percent), and Malta (-1.7 percent) experienced significant declines. On an annual basis, Sweden led with an impressive 14.7 percent increase, followed by Denmark at 9.5 percent and Greece at 7.1 percent, while Bulgaria, Luxembourg, and Lithuania registered the steepest year-over-year downtrends.

The comprehensive statistics underscore a dynamic industrial landscape across Europe, where resilience in certain sectors and regions contrasts with challenges elsewhere. For deeper insights into these evolving trends, Eurostat’s detailed reports remain an essential resource for policymakers and industry leaders alike.

SEC Drops Lawsuit Against Gemini: A Major Turning Point In Crypto Regulation

SEC Dismisses Legal Action Against Gemini

The Securities and Exchange Commission has formally withdrawn its lawsuit against Gemini, the prominent crypto exchange founded by twins Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss. The move follows a joint court filing in which both the regulator and Gemini sought dismissal of the case that centered on the collapse of the Gemini Earn investment product, a debacle that left investors without access to their funds for 18 months.

Settlement And Regulatory Reassessment

In a significant development, a 2024 settlement between New York and Gemini ensured that investors recovered one hundred percent of their crypto assets loaned through the Gemini Earn program. The legal reprieve comes on the heels of actions initiated by New York Attorney General Letitia James, who accused Gemini of defrauding investors.

Political Backdrop And Industry Implications

This dismissal reinforces a broader trend of regulatory leniency toward the crypto sector noted during the Trump administration, which saw the SEC dismiss, pause, or reduce penalties in more than 60 percent of its pending crypto lawsuits. Meanwhile, Gemini’s recent public offering filing underscores its ambitions to solidify its status as a major player in the evolving digital asset market.
