Cyprus Wholesale Trade Turnover Rises 9.3% In Q4 2025

Overview

Recent figures released by the Cyprus Statistical Service (Cystat) indicate a robust performance in wholesale trade during the fourth quarter of 2025, with a marked increase in turnover. Conversely, activity within the motor vehicles sales and repair sector maintained stability relative to the same period in the previous year.

Quarterly Performance Insight

In the fourth quarter of 2025, the turnover value index for wholesale trade (division 46) increased by 9.3% compared with the fourth quarter of 2024. The turnover value index for motor vehicle sales and repair (division 45) recorded no significant change during the same period.

Annual Trends And Broader Implications

Examining the full year, the annual turnover value index for wholesale trade climbed by 5.9%, reinforcing the momentum observed in the final quarter. Meanwhile, the motor vehicles sector experienced a more modest annual uptick of 3.0%, reflecting steady, moderate growth despite a stagnant performance in Q4.

Business leaders and market analysts may interpret these trends as an indication of sustained expansion in wholesale trade operations, paralleled by a conservative yet steady progression in the automotive service arena. Such insights are essential for stakeholders gauging sector performance and strategic investment opportunities in the Cypriot market.

Conclusion

The latest statistical revelations from Cyprus illustrate a dynamic wholesale trade sector benefiting from a significant quarterly uplift, while the motor vehicles segment maintains stability. As these trends continue to develop, they will undoubtedly influence both policy formulation and strategic business moves in the region.

Women Accounted For More Than Half Of Scientists In 10 EU Regions

In Portugal’s Continente region, 265,100 women worked as scientists and engineers in 2025, representing 46% of the total workforce in these occupations.

Across the EU, women made up more than half of all scientists and engineers in 10 regions. Four were located in Spain, two in Portugal and one in Greece. The remaining regions were Poland’s Makroregion centralny, Sweden’s northernmost region and France’s outermost regions.

Most of these areas had relatively small numbers of scientists and engineers overall. Spain’s Noreste region was the largest, with 102,700 women in these occupations, accounting for 51% of its total workforce.

Women’s Representation Varies Across Europe

The figures highlight considerable regional differences in both the number of women working in science and engineering and their share of the overall workforce.

Cyprus remains below the EU average, with women accounting for 37.8% of scientists and engineers. However, this share is broadly comparable to that of Île-de-France, one of Europe’s largest centres of scientific and engineering employment.
