The area of the republic of Cyprus under government control has a market economy dominated by the service sector, which accounts for 78% of GDP.
Tourism, financial services and real estate are the most important sectors.
Changing growth rates over the past decade reflect the economy's reliance on tourism.
Due to the global crisis, Cyprus economy entered into recession in the middle of 2009. The budget deficit reached the level of 3.5% of GDP, violating EU's budget deficit criteria of no more than 3% of GDP.
