Cyprus is now in Positive Transformation Mode The Troika, the European Commission, the IMF and the European Bank, last March gave Cyprus a cleaner bill of health with a positive economic assessment of the Country’s effort to stabilise the Country’s financial system, achieve fiscal sustainability, and support the recovery of economic activity. The positive assessment has facilitated a rethink by the international rating agencies, and to reassess the situation which literally has lifted the island from the gloomy negative credit ratings to far more positive and relatively upbeat CAA3 credit upgrade. Looking back over the last month’s activities at Fitzgerald’s, we are happy to report that April was a busy month and there was a definite buzz in the air. Much of the confidence in the market, in our opinion, was the news of the Troika’s positive assessments and the upgrade in credit rating was welcome news locally. Judging by the growing number of property enquiries from overseas, the news was especially well received abroad. The latest economic news is supporting the positive projections from March, which is really exciting. The S&P & Fitchs’ new credit upgrades made the international news, and an affirmation that Cyprus is heading in the right direction. The news was released locally on Good Friday, making this the most talked about topic during the Easter festivities. The Cyprus Mail reported that “the S&P upgraded the island’s sovereign credit rating to ‘B’ from ‘B’ with a positive outlook due to betterthanexpected economic performance” and “Fitch Ratings revised the outlook on Cyprus’s long term foreign currency Issuer Default Rating (IDR) to stable from negative, and affirmed the IDR at ‘B’’. Upgrades are a clear indication that Cyprus is on track with the continuing implementations of structural adjustments, required by the bailout conditions. No one in Cyprus is under any illusion however that the country’s problems are over. Yet we are seeing Cyprus in transformation mode which include matters of public finances, macroeconomic developments, financial issues and structural
reforms. The pragmatic sentiment was best expressed by the President Nicos Anastasiades who said ‘although the problems of the economy have not been overcome yet, nonetheless this (the upgrades) was the best reward for the nation that was struggling with the crisis’. The President went on to thank all people of Cyprus for their ‘patience and maturity and the exemplary manner with which they handled the problems.” (Cyprus Mail, April 26) . And yes, we are seeing a degree of renewal of the international confidence in Cyprus, cautious renewal perhaps, but there nonetheless. The Buyers are in a noticeably more confident mood regarding investing in Cyprus and many are seeking ‘opportunities’ with increasing urgency, keen to buy now rather than later. For the buyers of Cyprus properties the presence of the Title Deeds is paramount so the structural reforms are eagerly awaited in this direction. Luckily, Fitzgeralds has firmly focused on selling properties with Title Deeds or clear path to the unobstructed issuance of the deeds. Cyprus is back on the UK overseas property map once again; the latest in the BBC series ‘Escape to the Continent’ featured two programmes on Cyprus, one based in Paphos, the other in the Limassol areas of Pissouri, Pachna and Anoyira. The highlighting of the Cyprus property market in itself can be seen as another very positive indicator as to the renewed interest in buying good quality property at realistic market prices.
"The Office" Fitzgerald's office is down the road from Kings Avenue Mall and within close walking distance to the Paphos Harbour. The office is virtually opposite the “Wishing Tree”. Coming from the Tomb of the kings turn right at Kings Avenue Mall traffic lights and we are a short way down on the right just after the “Wishing Tree”.
Office hours are 9am to 5.30pm 6 days a week with no break for lunch. So if you are working and only have your lunch break to come and see us, you are welcome!
The Big Breakfast, April 5th 2014 @ the Fifth Floor Restaurant The commissioning group of the hospice were delighted that over 150 people attended the second big breakfast at the Fifth Floor, €5 from each ticket sold went to the Hospice. During the Breakfast Cameron McDonald from the HCG announced that the Hospice will be operational from July 4th 2014, and that a press announcement will Daryl Fitzgerald with Irish Ambassador Nicolas Twist and Father Jim follow shortly. He also announced that an advertisement for a Senior Nurse would be in next week’s media, and that an advertisement seeking volunteers would follow! He also commended the work of the Friends Hospice, CPSG, and all the other Charities who work tirelessly to support those in need of care. Cameron announced a donation of €200 from Fitzgerald Estates (Registered Real Estate Agent) and opened an envelope with an anonymous donation of €20,000, much to his and the audience’s delight. He also invited 2 young men, Petros and Charlie who between them raised more than €70 between them, which was greatly admired and appreciated by all. (see picture below) Paphos Mayor Savvas Vergas pledged his and his council’s support for the hospice, and stated he will visit the facility after Easter. His Excellency the Irish Ambassador, Nicolas Twist congratulated us all and wished us well for the opening which he will hopefully attend! The grand sum of €21804 was raised, including an auction of fine Bone China by Ruth Mott which raised €120, and once again, many thanks to all who attended.
