The identities of shareholders in Cypriot legal entities engaged in international activities may remain secret and are only declared to the Central Bank of Cyprus, which handles the relevant information with the utmost confidentiality. Secrecy is also maintained for the participation in trust funds, as well as for all relevant activities and transactions.
