Committed to fighting poverty, Iceland invests in marginalised and rural communities in low-income and fragile contexts through district-level approaches and multilateral and civil society partners. Iceland strongly emphasises respect for human rights, gender equality and the environment. It has committed almost half of its bilateral allocable aid to projects and programmes promoting the inclusion and empowerment of persons with disabilities. Iceland’s total official development assistance (ODA) (USD 115.5 million, preliminary data) increased in 2023, representing 0.36% of gross national income (GNI).
La croissance économique se repliera pour atteindre 1.9 % en 2024, sur fond de ralentissement des exportations. Elle rebondira toutefois pour s’établir à 2.8 % en 2025. La consommation privée restera médiocre à court terme, du fait de la faiblesse des salaires réels, mais se redressera en 2025 à la faveur d’une augmentation du revenu disponible. L’investissement des entreprises restera faible en 2024 en raison d’une confiance fragile, mais regagnera en vigueur en 2025 sur fond de détente des conditions financières. L’investissement en logements redémarrera après trois années de contraction. Le tourisme étranger ne progressera guère à cause des contraintes de capacité. Le taux de chômage, légèrement en hausse, se rapprochera de 4 %.
Economic growth will decline to 1.9% in 2024 as exports slow but rebound to 2.8% in 2025. Private consumption will remain lacklustre in the near term, reflecting subdued real wages, but will pick up in 2025 as disposable income strengthens. Business investment will remain weak in 2024 as confidence is fragile but will regain momentum in 2025 as financial conditions ease. Housing investment will resume after three years of contraction. Foreign tourism will hardly grow due to capacity constraints. The unemployment rate will edge up to near 4%.

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%.
