Cyprus Foreign Direct Investment [FDI] Statistics

In 2009, Cyprus attracted a total of 3,961 million Euro in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) compared to 3,018 million Euro in 2008 and 961 million Euro in 2007.
The long-term FDI trend is positive, and Cyprus has the potential to attract even higher FDI.
Although direct investment in 2008 fell, this is primarily due to a decline of foreign investment in the Real Estate sector.
In 2008 the top three FDI sectors were Financial Intermediation (1,315.2 million Euro), Real Estate and Business Activities (817.9 million Euro) and Trade and Repairs (415.9 million Euro).
The leading sources of FDI inflows to Cyprus in 2008 by geographical/economic zone were European countries (over 2,357 million Euros), America (187.8 millionEuros) and Asia (138.3 million Euros).
