Cyprus is set to introduce its long-anticipated green tax system in May 2025, as the government moves into the final stages of preparation, Finance Minister Makis Keravnos confirmed on Tuesday.

Speaking at the Association of Cyprus Tourist Enterprises (ACTE) General Assembly, Keravnos reiterated that the implementation stems from prior commitments, making the reform unavoidable. While the framework is largely in place, the final adjustments to compensatory measures are still being fine-tuned. The government plans to unveil both the tax scheme and its accompanying relief measures simultaneously.

The upcoming fiscal overhaul will be formally presented on February 26, outlining key elements of Cyprus’ green transition strategy. Once announced, the reforms will move into their implementation phase, marking a significant step toward aligning the country’s economic policies with environmental sustainability goals.

UnitedHealth Removes DEI Mentions From Website Amid Growing Shift In Corporate Policies

UnitedHealth Group has significantly reduced its public focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) by removing related content from its website. 

The reasons for these changes remain unclear, and it’s uncertain whether the removal signals a shift in the company’s policies or simply a change in the language used. A UnitedHealth spokesperson, Tyler Mason, commented that the company continues to support a collaborative environment and mutual respect, which remain integral to its culture and mission to expand access to healthcare services.

The move coincides with a broader trend among major corporations, especially in the tech industry, retreating from DEI programs. This shift is partly in response to executive orders from the Trump administration targeting DEI initiatives in companies receiving federal funding. Some tech giants, including Google and OpenAI, have already scrubbed DEI-related content from their sites.
