CypRus - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

The area of the Republic of Cyprus under government control has a market economy dominated by the service sector, which accounts for four-fifths of GDP. Tourism, financial services, and real estate are the most important sectors. Erratic growth rates over the past decade reflect the economy's reliance on tourism, the profitability of which often fluctuates with political instability in the region and economic conditions in Western Europe. Nevertheless, the economy in the area under government control has grown at a rate well above the EU average since 2000. Cyprus joined the European Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM2) in May 2005 and adopted the euro as its national currency on 1 January 2008. An aggressive austerity program in the preceding years, aimed at paving the way for the euro, helped turn a soaring fiscal deficit (6.3% in 2003) into a surplus of 1.2% in 2008, and reduced inflation to 4.7%. This prosperity came under pressure in 2009, as construction and tourism slowed in the face of reduced foreign demand triggered by the ongoing global financial crisis. Although Cyprus lagged behind its EU peers in showing signs of stress from the global crisis, the economy tipped into recession in 2009, contracting by 1.7%, and has been slow to bounce back since, posting an anemic growth rate of 1.0% in 2010. A massive munitions blast in July 2011 at a Cypriot naval base triggered country-wide energy outages, a collapse of the governing coalition, and a cabinet shuffle intensifying Cyprus's economic problems. The economy experienced no economic growth in 2011. Serious Cypriot financial sector problems surfaced in early 2011 as the Greek fiscal crisis and euro zone debt crisis deepened. Two of Cyprus's biggest banks are among the largest holders of Greek bonds in Europe and have a substantial presence in Greece through bank branches and subsidiaries. A liquidity squeeze is choking the financial sector and the real economy as many global investors doubt the Cypriot economy can weather the EU crisis. Cyprus's borrowing costs have risen steadily because of its exposure to Greek debt. The budget deficit is on the rise and reached 7.4% of GDP in 2011, a violation of the EU's budget deficit criteria - no more than 3% of GDP. In response to the country's deteriorating finances and serious risk of contagion from the Greek debt crisis, Nicosia is promising to implement measures to cut the cost of the state payroll, curb tax evasion, and revamp social benefits. However, it has been slow to act, lacking a consensus in parliament and among the social partners for its proposed measures.

Commercial morality

Unable to comment

Given that the present is an International Business Company - IBC (Offshore Company) and most of its activities are carried out outside Cyprus, coupled with the fact that no further detailed financial information is available, we feel unable to express a safe and reliable opinion on their creditability and commercial morality of the subject.

Line of Business

 

According to the Article of Associations the current company deals with the trade of pharmaceutical products although this was not confirmed. However the article makes provision for other activities as well.

We have the impression that the subject is related with GenePharm, Inc, (http://www.bioportfolio.com/corporate/company/25237/Genepharm-Inc.html) which is a biopharmaceutical company that focuses on the discovery, development and commercialization of pharmaceutical products in the field of dermatology in California; however this could not be confirmed from official sources.

Furthermore, from desk research we found that the subject might be also related with GENEPHARM AUSTRALASIA LIMITED (http://www.ascentpharmahealth.com/SiteMedia/w3svc1050/Uploads/Documents/Independent_Experts_Report-GAA_full.pdf); however this could not be confirmed from official sources.

We have the impression that this is an International Business company with offices in Cyprus; however further information was not available.

The present is an International Business Company - IBC (ex - Offshore Company) registered in Cyprus on 22/04/2004. According to the Article of Associations the current company deals with the trade of pharmaceutical products although this was not confirmed. However the article makes provision for other activities as well.

IBC companies, being covered by the law of confidentiality, may use nominee shareholders that hold the shares in trust for beneficial owners. Until recently beneficial owners were made known only to the Central Bank of the Republic of Cyprus that used to grant the permission for the company’s registration in Cyprus. After Cyprus accession in the EU this practice changed. Beneficial owners of an IBC are now known to the Lawyers and / or Auditors that undertake the registration of such companies in Cyprus.

In the past IBC’s (ex-offshore companies & offshore branches) used to be benefited from a corporation tax rate on their profits of 4.25%. However, according to new tax legislation which has been in effect as of 1st January 2003, there is no longer a distinction between local companies and International Business Companies (IBC’s) and thus, the net profits of all companies registered in Cyprus are taxed at the rate of 10%.

Furthermore, in the past the law required the IBC’s (ex-offshore companies & offshore branches), beneficial owners to be non-Cypriot residents and the business activities to be carried out, outside Cyprus only. Currently, this law has changed. IBC entities may have activities worldwide, including Cyprus. However, in order for an IBC entity to have activities locally, their Memorandum and Articles of Association should provide for that. Most of the IBC entities that were registered before the change of the law have already proceeded with the amendments in their Memorandum and Articles of Association.

We tried contacting the subject’s offices in Cyprus; however our attempts were unsuccessful.

Please note that the information included in the report was obtained from the Official Companies’ Registrar. Please note that no detailed Financial Information became available to us; neither it was released by the subject. Please note that the latest financial details are not available at the file of the company at the official companies' registry house; as the law provides for all companies. Further financial details are not available from other public sources.

A check against our revealed that no negative payment incidents against Subject Company, such as unpaid invoices, dishonoured cheques and utility bills, bankruptcies exist etc.
