Summary

Following a strong rebound after the pandemic, a successful tightening of fiscal and monetary policies has slowed domestic demand growth and reduced inflationary pressures. The challenges now are to fully return inflation to target while ensuring a soft landing for the economy; build resilience by gradually increasing fiscal buffers; and strengthen productivity and further diversify the economy to support medium-term growth and reduce Iceland’s vulnerability to shocks.
