This profile brings together internet use, financial inclusion and UN e-government indicators for Cyprus, with source years shown alongside each figure.
Internet and Connectivity
Internet use in Cyprus is reported at 90.0% for 2024. The indicator measures individuals using the internet rather than subscriptions.
Cyprus is compared only where the same indicator definition is available for the country, its region and the world.
Cyprus records 156 mobile subscriptions per 100 people in 2024 in the cited series. Subscriptions count active lines rather than unique residents, so a rate above 100 is possible.
The fixed-broadband figure for Cyprus is kept as a subscription rate rather than a household-access percentage. The two measures use different denominators. Subscription counts are not the same as unique users.
