The number of sales of real estate to non-EU citizens who registered sales contracts in the property registries increased by 20% compared to the previous quarter and by 30% compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. The problems of non-performing loans and debt due to asset swaps have decreased for most banks; they are still present, but to a lesser extent than in previous years.
On the subject of delinquency, the statistical office of the European Union (Eurostat) reported last month that:
“In 2020, Cyprus remained the country with the largest stock of non-performing government loans (assets) at 28.3% of GDP, a much higher proportion compared to other EU member states. This was due to a major transaction in 2018 in which bad loans were transferred from a Cyprus public finance company (classified as non-state) to a state entity. “
Three other EU Member States recorded a share of more than 1% of GDP: Slovenia (2.2%), Portugal (1.5%) and Croatia (1.4%). For Cyprus, Slovenia, and Portugal, the majority of non-performing loans relate to loans from debt relief financial structures. In the case of Croatia, the figure refers mainly to loans from a national development bank (classified within the general government sector)”.
