Interest in Cyprus grows as global families seek EU base |
|
|
|
Cyprus is attracting growing attention from international families, entrepreneurs and businesses looking for EU stability and access to European markets. Advisers say geopolitical tensions, regulatory changes and recent policy reforms are prompting more clients to move to the island as a base for relocation, corporate structures and family office activity. Rising company formation and relocation enquiries suggest Cyprus’s combination of EU access, common law and lower tax continues to appeal to internationally mobile wealth. Read more → |

Citywealth Quick Insight Series on Tax Trends:Anna Warren, Bentley Reid |
|
|
| In one word – complicated. We have seen a number of fundamental changes over the last 10 years relating particularly to foreign UNHW individuals, which means navigating the changes brings a lot of complexity.

Although corporate earnings growth remains resilient, oil-related inflation concerns and geopolitics have reemerged as the dominant source of uncertainty, overshadowing otherwise constructive economic momentum.

SustainabilityStop the Flawed Oxford Street Pedestrianisation Plan |
|
|
| Oxford Street can be improved. But the current pedestrianisation proposal is rushed, under-evidenced and unfair. It doesn’t remove traffic — it pushes buses, taxis and pollution into neighbouring residential streets. Bus users lose direct routes. Read more → |
