Petroleum product sales in Cyprus fell 8% year-on-year to 129,479 tonnes in June 2026, according to data released Monday by the Statistical Service.
The decline coincides with a sharp drop in total petroleum stocks at the end of the month, signaling a pullback in regional demand.
The data points to weakening consumption in a key Mediterranean energy hub.
Cyprus serves as a critical bunkering and distribution center for the Eastern Mediterranean, making its sales figures a barometer for regional shipping and industrial activity.
The simultaneous drop in stocks suggests that importers are reducing inventory levels in response to softer downstream demand.
This regional slowdown aligns with broader trends in the global energy market.
