Gross domestic product (GDP) is the standard measure of the value of final goods and services produced by a country during a period minus the value of imports. This subset of Aggregate National Accounts comprises comprehensive statistics on gross domestic product (GDP) by presenting the three different approaches of its measure of GDP: output based GDP, expenditure based GDP and income based GDP. These three different measures of gross domestic product (GDP) are further detailed by transactions whereby: the output approach includes gross value added at basic prices, taxes less subsidies, statistical discrepancy; the expenditure approach includes domestic demand, gross capital formation, external balance of goods and services; and the income approach includes variables such as compensation of employees, gross operating surplus, taxes and production and imports. Gross domestic product (GDP) data are measured in national currency and are available in current prices, constant prices and per capita starting from 1950 onwards.

Economic growth will drop to 2.0% in 2024 and edge up to 2.3% in 2025. Private consumption will ease as real wage growth is modest. Business investment will moderate as financial conditions continue to deteriorate and confidence remains lacklustre. Despite tighter financial conditions, housing investment will pick up to satisfy pent-up demand. Public investment will decline in 2024 and remain subdued in 2025. Goods exports and foreign tourism will slow. The unemployment rate will rise gradually to around 4.5%.
La croissance économique baissera pour s’établir à 2.0 % en 2024, avant de se hisser à 2.3 % en 2025. La consommation privée ralentira sous l’effet de la hausse modérée des salaires réels. L’investissement des entreprises suivra la même tendance, la confiance restant morose et les conditions financières continuant de se détériorer, même si le durcissement de celles-ci n’empêchera pas les investissements dans le secteur du logement de se redresser pour répondre à la demande latente. L’investissement public diminuera en 2024 et restera en demi-teinte en 2025. Les exportations de biens ralentiront, de même que le tourisme étranger. Le taux de chômage augmentera progressivement pour s’établir aux alentours de 4.5 %.

Iceland is unique among OECD countries, as 89% of its total energy supply and almost 100% of its electricity are obtained from renewable-energy sources. The country produces no fossil fuels and hence imports all of its petroleum products, which are mostly consumed in the transport and fishing sectors.
