Update in relation to Cyprus Citizenship Investment Programme
Β
Dolphin, an investor in high-end residential resort developments in the eastern Mediterranean, notes that the Cyprus government announced on 13 October that it would cancel the Cyprus citizenship investment programme with effect from 1 November. The programme allowed foreign investors to apply for Cypriot citizenship upon making a minimum β¬2 million investment in, inter alia, Cyprus properties.
Β
The Company also notes that the Cyprus authorities have indicated that they would explore the introduction in the near future of alternative investment incentives to replace the existing citizenship programme.
Β
The Cyprus Permanent Residence programme which offers permanent residence status to foreign individuals with a minimum β¬0.3 million property investment in Cyprus remains in place.
Β
The Company is monitoring these developments in close cooperation with the management team at Aristo Developers Ltd ("Aristo"), the Company's 47.9% associate and one of the largest Cyprus property developers. Aristo is likely to remain affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, exacerbated by the expected impact in the short term of the existing citizenship investment programme cancellation. Additional updates will be provided as appropriate.
