Use the figure, its observation period and its source together. That is what makes a statistic reusable. [Read our editorial policy →]() ### What this edition covers Research and source checks were completed on September 9, 2026. This is a selected reference, not a live feed or a complete statistical database. The date of these checks is separate from the age of each observation and does not certify an independent human review. ### Sources and revisions We prefer Icelandic official sources and link to the underlying tables. Climate normals come from Icelandic Met Office station submissions distributed by NOAA/NCEI. When figures are revised, a trend uses one source vintage throughout. Preliminary GDP and tourism estimates can change. ### Currency conversions Krónur remain the base currency for nominal GDP. The 2025 USD companion divides that value by the Central Bank’s December 30, 2025 mid-rate of 125.2 ISK per dollar, the last available business-day rate of that year. This is not an annual-average conversion. Purchasing-power-parity international dollars are a different measure and are not included here. [Central Bank exchange-rate source ↗]() ### Precision and missing figures Rounded display values keep tables readable; downloads preserve the underlying numbers. Missing observations are never set to zero. The research package contains unresolved topics, and only the selected, source-checked observations appear here. Coastline, legacy summit and glacier measurements, energy totals, and unresolved crime and ranking figures are excluded. ### Downloads and corrections The CSV and JSON contain the same selected observations as the page, with stable identifiers, raw values, observation periods, definitions and sources. They exclude held and superseded research rows. Cite Iceland.org’s selection and the original institution when reusing the data. Found a mismatch?
