Iceland Frontière

Aperçu économique et sectoriel

Iceland is a small, highly developed Nordic island economy with a nominal GDP of approximately 33.5 billion USD in 2024. Its economy is anchored by tourism, fisheries, renewable energy, aluminum smelting, and a rebuilt financial sector following the 2008 banking crisis. Iceland generates 100 percent of its electricity from renewable geothermal and hydropower sources, making energy-intensive industries such as data centers and aluminum production competitive. The economy contracted modestly in 2024 after strong post-pandemic growth, with inflation elevated but declining steadily. Iceland is a member of the European Economic Area and the Schengen Area but not the European Union.
