From the burning issue of staff shortages and the solution of third countries, to the minimum wage and the future of pensions for today&#8217;s 30-year-olds, we explore whether talent in Cyprus really has a ceiling or whether the bet of growth is won with boldness and digital transformation. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>In a relaxed discussion, we map Cypriot business through the &#8220;sensors&#8221; of the market.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>In a world where information runs non-stop, MoneyTalks comes to put things in order. We talk about the economy, businesses and society in simple words, looking for the answers that are often lost in the noise of everyday life.
