Additionally, while the economic situation in Lebanon is deteriorating, in Cyprus, there is economic growth.
According to a Lebanese land developer, people in Lebanon have difficulties in getting their money out of the banks, due to the undeclared capital control restrictions.
This has led many Lebanese to invest in real estate assets, preferably out of Lebanon. He chose Cyprus to expand his business operations and he is excited that the future seems bright for his company already.
Another prominent Lebanese investor, who is in the business of web design and development services, has expressed publicly her plans of relocating her entire company to Cyprus.
Other Lebanese investors have said that they chose Cyprus because of the proximity to Lebanon, which means a similar weather and an easy transition in terms of environment, people and mentality.
