Cyprus Foreign Reserves (1960–2025)

Overview

Cyprus's foreign reserves stood at $2.2B in 2025, a rise of +$155.2M from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $2.2B by 2025. Cyprus ranked 121st globally.

Cyprus' foreign reserves have experienced significant fluctuations over the past 66 years, with the all-time peak registered in 2007 at 6,506,542,487.54. This peak was largely driven by the country's tourism and financial sectors, which contributed to a period of economic growth. Conversely, the all-time trough in 1960 stood at 27,400,000.00, reflecting the country's early post-independence economic challenges. As of 2025, Cyprus' foreign reserves stand at 2,242,720,756.91, ranking 121 globally. This value is comparable to Rwanda's 2,312,707,375.98, another country with a relatively small economy. While the current foreign reserves level is lower than the 2007 peak, it is still a substantial improvement from the 1960 trough. A continued stable economic environment, driven by tourism and financial services, is likely to maintain Cyprus' foreign reserves at a relatively high level. However, a significant decline in tourism or a major economic downturn could alter this trajectory.
