Cyprus Russian Business: “Don’t be afraid of high-rises”

By | cip, Cyprus, Investment, Latest Posts

Начать разговор с темы высотного строительства было вполне логично, ведь Яннис Мисирлис сейчас строит один из самых необычных небоскрёбов Кипра. Его экспертное мнение имеет немалый вес, потому что под брендом Imperio уже построены десятки жилых домов и несколько крупных офисных центров. Впрочем, Яннис не ограничился темой строительства и поделился своим видением касательно будущего Лимассола и всего острова. Например, наш собеседник предложил рассмотреть возможность превращения Кипра в центр авиаиндустрии: для этого можно и нужно использовать успешный опыт работы шипингового сектора.

– В последнее время высотное строительство в Лимассоле подвергается резкой критике. Основные вопросы – отсутствие генерального плана Лимассола, сомнительная эстетика высоток и блокирование ими вида на море для остальных домов, которые из-за этого теряют в стоимости. Каково ваше мнение на этот счёт?

– Высотки не могут портить внешний вид города, они – его неотъемлемая часть. Вспомним Нью-Йорк, Лондон или Чикаго – их ландшафт является символом делового мира. Лимассол, конечно, не сможет стать вторым Манхэттеном или Дубаем: в ближайшие несколько лет мы увидим законченными не более десяти высотных зданий.

Bloomberg: Cyprus has become a gateway to Europe

By | cip, Cyprus, Investment, Latest Posts

Assets under management up 29% in first quarter to record high

Drawn by its location — straddling the regions of Europe, the Middle East and North Africa and with access to Eastern Europe, Russia and former Soviet republics — flexible legislation and lower costs, Asian funds are using Cyprus for their single European Union passport for investment across the bloc.

“There is an increasing trend for funds from countries who traditionally didn’t have strong economic ties with Cyprus such as China, India and even Japan, to establish a base in the country as their gateway to the EU,” Andreas Yiasemides, Vice President of the Cyprus Investment Funds Association, said in an interview in Nicosia.

The number of investment funds and assets under management have hit record highs, according to the Central Bank of Cyprus. At the end of March the number of funds rose to 123 from 110 at end December. Total assets under management rose by about 29 percent to 4.45 billion euros ($5.24 billion) from 3.45 billion euros. In Dec., 2008 there were 55 funds with 1.23 billion euros in assets under management.

 

Investment funds are increasingly attracted to the island

Interest for the setup and authorization by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission of alternative investment funds runs strong, its Chairwoman Demetra Kalogerou said.
“There are 60 applications at this moment for different fund structures,” she said. “Of these, 44 have been pre-approved, subject to fulfilling certain conditions.”

 

Flexible legislation

While Cyprus’s existing funds framework legislation applies EU directives and regulations, the country is introducing additional changes to make the island even more attractive for investors and fund and asset managers to register and manage funds, said Marios Tannousis, Board Member and Secretary of CIFA.
These include legislation that will enable investors to know from the beginning the tax regime applied to the different types of funds, a fast-track procedure for launching so-called registered alternate investment funds and the establishment of a new category of investment managers known as mini-managers who will be licensed to operate below current alternative investment fund manager thresholds, he said.

Cypriot legislation for establishing funds is much more flexible than elsewhere in Europe, but investors remain well protected, Yiasemides said. Costs in Cyprus are much lower than elsewhere in the EU and that is very important for small and medium-sized fund managers that Cyprus is seeking to lure. “We can’t become Luxembourg from day one and so we aim to attract funds that take cost into account,” he said.

 

Domestic investment

A physical presence in Cyprus also means funds contribute to the country’s domestic economy, renting or buying offices and paying fees to the state. They can carry out investments, especially in real estate, Yiasemides said.

Kylin Prime Fund, a Sino-European manager, established the Kylinprime Investment Fund in Cyprus as an alternative investment fund for the island’s assets. It invests in real estate, land development and infrastructure projects in Cyprus, financial assets of Cypriot companies or Cypriot organizations, such as bonds, bills issued with Cysec approval, according to its website. It is also one of the very few funds authorized to raise capital under the Cyprus citizenship by investment program, the company says.

“We are receiving inquiries for domiciling funds in Cyprus from China and India, but also from the Middle East and Europe including from Switzerland, Italy, Greece and Germany,” Tannousis said. “There is also some interest from U.K. funds managers to have back up funds in the country as their EU base, ” he said.

Cyprus outperforms Germany and the UK in anti-money laundering supervision, according to recent report

By | Cyprus

Earlier this year, Transparency International published a report called “Top Secret Countries Keep Financial Crime Fighting Data to Themselves”.

Transparency International studied 12 jurisdictions including Cyprus and big centres like Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, UK and the US. It looked at data released in a range of different areas. The report is based on information available up to January 2017.

The report found that: “Cyprus disclosed the most complete set of anti-money laundering data among the 12 analysed countries, with information available for 14 out of the 20 indicators.” As for anti-money-laundering (AML) supervision, Transparency International said: “Cyprus and France presented the most complete data sets, covering aspects of monitoring, regulatory breaches and sanctions. No relevant data for the UK were found.”

Cyprus ranks list of world’s most powerful passports

By | cip

A strong passport is a powerful thing when it comes to seamless international travelling, allowing its holder to move across borders without dealing with the nightmarish bureaucracy of a visa application.

According to recent studies, which rank the world’s most powerful passports, Cyprus travel documents were cited as among the most powerful in the world, with Cyprus passport holders being able to travel to over 140 counties without visa.

In order to come up with the rankings, the studies use a weighted approach that considers five factors: visa-free travel, taxation, perception, dual citizenship and overall freedom. And while Cyprus’ main advantages are the speed of approval, its membership in the EU and the visa-free agreements with a number of third-world countries, it is one of the most sought after destinations for investors seeking to establish their business, due to the low tax jurisdiction, or looking for a holiday home or a permanent residence to one of the safest countries in the world.
Asked about the findings of these recent studies, Yiannis Misirlis, Director at Imperio said, “the fact that Cyprus has improved its ranking as one of the most desirable passports among High-Net Worth Individuals is great news. This has a direct reflection on the economy, and the property market in particular. The economic prosperity of the country (especially the come-back of the economy since the 2013 banking crisis) and the political stability are two of the most important factors of the desirability of the Cypriot passport. Our country can further improve its already excellent ranking by negotiating a visa-free policy with countries such as the U.S, Russia, India and China. This should make the Cyprus citizenship programme unbeatable”.

Cyprus – a Top 10 destination

By | Uncategorized

We would like to take the chance and wish you a joyful, healthy, prosperous and happiest new year ahead!

CYPRUS jumped ten places to number eight in the November 2016 edition of the ‘Top of the Props’ published by the property portal TheMoveChannel.com, accounting for 1.62% of on-line searches on the property portal.

Commenting on the performance of Cyprus TheMoveChannel.com Director Dan Johnson noted that “Cyprus has now been inside the Top 20 most popular destinations on TheMoveChannel.com for 10 months in a row. In real terms, enquiries for the island’s real estate have varied on a month-by-month basis throughout 2016, but rose 20 per cent in Q2 compared to Q1 2016 and increased 8 per cent in the three months to November compared to the previous three months. Will they keep climbing as we enter 2017?” The future is bright for Cyprus.

Cyprus continues to impress

By | Creating Memories

The Boston Consulting Group has released the 2016 Sustainable Economic Development Assessment report where the Cypriot economy is considered to be entering an upside trend. According to the study, Cyprus has significantly improved its key economic, investment and sustainability factors, placing the country as one of the top performers in terms of converting wealth into well-being. The growth prospects for the year to come are expected to surpass 3%, where expectations are further strengthened by the country’s recent departure from the Troika Program in April this year.

This positive outlook on the Cypriot economy has sent a strong message to the global markets and has resulted in an increased interest from foreign investors. Maintaining one of the most favorable legal and tax systems in the EU, the country has managed to attract a number of foreign financial companies and large investment funds. The ever growing uncertainty caused by the recent Brexit vote is contributing to the momentum that Cyprus is gaining, underlining its stable economic climate and predictable business environment.

As a result of the above improvements, the property values for the local market have been steadily rising, mostly thanks to foreign demand in luxury residential and commercial properties, especially in Limassol. An underlying factor in this rise is the Citizenship by Investment Program which has by now established itself as the quickest and most exclusive program in the industry. For 2015 only, Cyprus has managed to raise more than €1.1 billion in foreign direct investment. A great portion of these funds has been allocated to real estate investments.

As the Cyprus University has recently estimated, the local economic climate indicators have returned to their 2008 pre-crisis levels. The Government’s efforts to further the exploration of blocks in the South Eastern Mediterranean and the presence of global giants such as Exxon-Mobil, Total and ENI are only one more reason to believe that the upside trend will hold in the medium to long run.

Cyprus is certainly regaining its reputation for sound economic management, and with the raise of instability and uncertainty in the EU and the rest of the world, it is looking at a golden opportunity of establishing itself as a safe haven, attracting investments from Europe, Russia and the Middle East.
