The Apollonion Private Hospital in Nicosia has officially been acquired by the American investment fund CVC Capital Partners.

The signing of the contract and the completion of the acquisition was confirmed by the hospital’s board chairman Christos Pouris to Cypriot outlet INBusiness News.

According to reports, the deal is estimated to have cost €83 million in total.

The investment fund first expressed interest in acquiring the hospital back in 2018.

Interest was again renewed during the summer of the previous year but the two sides failed to reach an agreement at the time.

Cyprus and Egypt will soon sign a Memorandum of Understanding for the electricity interconnection between the two countries.

The signing will take place on Saturday, October 16 in Nicosia.

An official press release said the memorandum will be signed at the Presidential Palace on behalf of Cyprus by Minister of Energy, Commerce and Industry, Natasa Pilides and Minister of Electricity and Renewable Energy Mohamed Shaker El-Markabi.

The electricity interconnection is part of the Cyprus, Greece and Egypt interconnection project, the foundation of which was set in Nicosia in November 2017 during the fifth interstate trilateral meeting of the three countries.

The political commitment by the leaders to implement the project was followed by another two trilateral meetings.

The signing of the trilateral agreement will be finalised after the memorandum is completed.
