Investment has always relied on stability and predictability, and recent years have tested both. On 9–10 November 2026 the Economist Enterprise SE Europe 22nd Annual Cyprus Summit ‘A strategic gateway for regional co-operation’ brought together leaders from across Europe to discuss how the region’s investment ecosystem can become more resilient and adaptable.
We were proud to see IOANNIDES DEMETRIOU LLC Director Christina Ioannidou, join the panel ‘Investing in turbulent times: Make it simple’ alongside:
- Yannis Tsakiris, Vice-President, EIB
- Evgenios Evgeniou, Chairman, Invest Cyprus
- Stavros Stavrou, President, Cyprus Chamber of Commerce and Industry
- Andreas Yiasemides, Chief Executive and Chairman, PwC Cyprus
As Christina put it: “We cannot make the world less turbulent. Neither Cyprus nor Europe controls the conflicts around us, energy prices or trade wars. But we do control the quality, the speed and the predictability of our own institutions. In turbulent times, a jurisdiction that offers certainty becomes a safe harbour. And capital, like ships, looks for safe harbours.”
The message was clear: streamlined processes and a predictable framework give investors the confidence to commit capital and help unlock the next stage of growth for Cyprus and Europe.
