Cyprus One Step Closer to US Visa Waiver

Cyprus is close to a breakthrough on the US visa waiver agreement, announced President Nikos Christodoulides. He emphasized the strategic dialogue launched between the two nations, which covered investment, trade, research, security, and especially visas. Cyprus aims to finalize the agreement, reducing travel barriers for Cypriot citizens visiting the US.

The President stressed that all Ministries should support the Foreign Ministry, which is leading the dialogue, to ensure successful negotiations. He also highlighted that Cyprus is awaiting a critical decision based on its visa application rejection rate, a key criterion for inclusion in the visa waiver program.

Cyprus Beer Exports Slide 24.2% In June 2025 Amid Market Shifts

Industry Overview And Key Figures

Data from the Statistical Service, Cyprus (Cystat), reveals a significant decline in beer exports from local factories in June 2025. Exports dropped to 245,087 litres, representing a 24.2% decrease from 323,278 litres recorded in June 2024. In contrast, domestic consumption experienced a modest increase of 1.5%, reaching 4,601,840 litres. These trends contributed to an overall slight contraction in total beer deliveries, which fell by 0.2% year on year to 4,846,927 litres.

Comparative Analysis With The Previous Month

May 2025 presented a markedly different scenario. During that month, beer exports surged by 83.9% to 381,641 litres, while domestic consumption fell by 8% to 4,115,967 litres. The net effect was a 4% year-over-year decrease in total deliveries, with figures amounting to 4,497,608 litres in May 2025. This stark contrast underscores a volatile market dynamic that warrants close attention from industry stakeholders.

Market Implications And Future Outlook

The data highlights a shift in market trends, with significant fluctuations in export performance juxtaposed against stable domestic consumption. Such variance suggests that external market conditions or changes in export strategies might be influencing factors. For investors and industry analysts, this divergence provides critical insights into the evolving landscape of Cyprus’ beer production and distribution sectors.
