However, it has improved and is approaching sustainable levels, with the current account deficit in 2023 expected to widen mainly due to a significant increase in energy prices.<br \/>\nNevertheless, the stabilisation of energy prices and the recovery of external demand are expected to contribute to the improvement of the current account balance.<br \/>\nBoth public and private debt have significantly decreased and are expected to continue on a downward trajectory in the coming years.<br \/>\nFurthermore, the review noted that the stock of non-performing loans (NPLs) in the banking sector continued to decline, while the possibility of new non-performing loans is viewed as remote.<br \/>\nIn the future, the country\u2019s vulnerabilities are expected to continue to diminish, supported by economic growth.<br \/>\nWhat is more, the report delved into<strong> Cyprus\u2019 significant integration with both EU and non-EU economies<\/strong>, rendering it vulnerable to secondary effects stemming from economic developments in these regions.<br \/>\nThe report concluded that Cyprus\u2019 high exposure, both directly and indirectly, to partners outside the EU, subjects it to <strong>risks from geopolitical and trade tensions<\/strong>.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8211; The European Commission&#8217;s recent in-depth
