Tourism growth has decelerated and the krona has stopped appreciating. Demand management has become easier, allowing the authorities to focus on medium-term priorities, including infrastructure, healthcare, education, and the environment. Risks, however, have become more evident. High fuel prices and other factors are challenging the airline business; world trade tensions are escalating; and the United Kingdom-a vital trading partner-is not yet assured of a smooth EU exit. Icelandic policies thus need to focus on further increasing resilience to shocks.
