Two years after the unprecedented bail-in of its depositors, Cyprus has truly turned the page. Having returned to the markets,recapitalised its banks, upgraded its credit ratings and transformed its public sector, Cyprus is earning high praise from its troika of international lenders for the significant progress achieved. Throughout these tumultuous years, the government has worked steadily to ensure that the competitive advantages that have constituted Cyprus a gateway for international investments, and in particular its corporate tax advantages, double tax treaty network and trust legislation, not only remain intact but are fortified.
