Eurostat data indicates that 26.97% of internet users in Cyprus paid for film, series, or sports streaming services during the reference period in 2025. ^[1] Eurostat reported on September 1, 2026, that Bulgaria's annual inflation rate accelerated to 5.1% in August 2026, up from 4.4% in July. ^[2] Eurostat reported that Cyprus recorded the steepest decline in tourist accommodation overnight stays in the EU during the first half of 2026, with nights spent falling by 7.7% compared to the same period in 2025. ^[3] The price of diesel rose by 15.7% in July, which automatically triggered a discount of 20 cents per liter for diesel refueling starting in September, instead of the previously planned 5 cents. ^[4] Cyprus ranked 20th among the 27 EU member states for paid streaming subscriptions, trailing only Estonia, Portugal, Croatia, Romania, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, Latvia, Slovenia, and Bulgaria. ^[5] Bulgaria recorded the third-highest annual inflation rate in the Eurozone in August 2026, behind Lithuania at 5.8% and Cyprus at 5.2%. ^[6] According to the European Commission's oil bulletin, gasoline costs 17.16% more and diesel costs 30.77% more than the week of the Iran bombing. ^[7] Despite the subsidy, refueling today is almost 31% more expensive than during the week of the Iran bombing, which caused market tension and affected transit through the Strait of Hormuz. ^[8] The accumulated price increase is 25 cents per liter for gasoline and 43 cents per liter for diesel, meaning a 50-liter diesel tank now costs 93.05 euros compared to 70.35 euros in late August 2025. ^[9]
