Kýpros
Export region data (CSV)Κύπρος generates €35bn of GDP across 983k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 63.5/100 puts it in the upper quartile of EU regions, led by economic scale and economic growth. Its economy has grown +8.2%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 6.1pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for digital connectivity (71.5th EU percentile) and weakest for clean environment (30th).

Growth90
Livability56.1
Market access17
Economic scale91
Equal-weighted mean of four EU-percentile pillars (deliberately orthogonal: growth=trend, livability=quality, market=distance-weighted demand proxy, scale=absolute GDP). Experimental — a screening triage, not investment advice.
Resilience Index · downside / risk lens (experimental)

GDP stability30
Labour stability11
Diversification12
Demographic stability99
Inverse of GDP-growth & unemployment volatility (since 2008, incl. 2009/2020 shocks), economic diversification (inverse HHI) and population stability — each EU-percentile-ranked. Higher withstands downturns better. Experimental.

Transit density62
Airport access81
Market access17
Public-transport stop density, proximity to a major airport, and gravity access to surrounding economic mass — each EU-percentile-ranked. Higher = better-connected. Experimental.
Talent & Human Capital Index · skills base (experimental)

Young tertiary95
Lifelong learning63
Knowledge workers90
Scientists & engineers70
Young tertiary attainment (25–34), adult lifelong learning, knowledge-worker share and scientists & engineers — each EU-percentile-ranked. Higher = deeper talent pool. Experimental.
