The Cypriot finance minister Charilaos Stavrakis has said there is good reason to be upbeat about the nation's economy.
Mr Stavrakis has been in London meeting with investors in a bid to tempt them to invest on the Mediterranean island.
His case is based on a number of positive factors, such as low public debt, falling inflation, one of the smallest proportions of the working population out of work in Europe and the only national economy in the European Union currently enjoying growth.
In addition to this, Mr Stavrakis noted, the banking system does not need support from the government, unlike other European countries.
Such factors may prompt some to opt for a serious investors.
Buyers in Cyprus must be careful when making purchases in the north of the country, chief executive of the Association of International Property Professionals Paul Owen said last month.
