On 9 October, the Council of the EU adopted the Defence Readiness Omnibus, revising the rules on defence research funding, procurement and transfers of defence-related products within the EU.

For Cyprus, this is more than a Brussels story. Cypriot companies already take part in European Defence Fund projects, from counter-drone technology to unmanned systems.

Our latest Policy Insight looks at what the package changes for these businesses, and what it does not.

On 9 October, EU finance ministers agreed on key elements of the Market Integration and Supervision Package, a central piece of the Savings and Investments Union. The legislation is not yet final.

For Cyprus, the questions are practical. Which market operators could come under ESMA supervision? What would a depositary passport mean for fund managers and local providers? And how should a smaller financial centre approach deeper European integration?

Our latest Policy Insight examines what the reform could mean for Cyprus-based firms, and what to watch as negotiations continue.
