A Troika delegation, consisting of representatives from the European Commission, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the European Central Bank (ECB), has arrived in Cyprus for a series of meetings with Cypriot authorities.  The discussions, which will run until March 20, are part of Cyprus’ 18th post-programme surveillance review.  The Finance Ministry announced on Monday that these meetings will include representatives from the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) alongside officials from the European Commission, the ECB, and the IMF.  The primary focus of the discussions is to assess the economic, fiscal, and financial conditions of the country.  “As part of this process, meetings will be held with key officials from the relevant Cypriot authorities, during which economic, fiscal, and financial matters will be discussed, as is customary,” the ministry stated.  The review is part of Cyprus’ ongoing post-bailout surveillance, ensuring that the country maintains financial stability and adheres to commitments made following the 2013 financial crisis.  The Troika has been conducting periodic reviews to evaluate the country’s economic resilience, fiscal policies, and banking sector health.  The meetings will provide an opportunity for Cypriot officials to present the latest economic data and discuss any challenges or risks facing the financial system.  They will also allow the Troika representatives to offer their assessment of Cyprus’ economic trajectory.
