| Summary: | This 2014 Article IV Consultation highlights that Iceland has reached a relatively strong macroeconomic position with good growth prospects. Unemployment continues to trend down, now at 4 percent. Growth is expected to pick up to about 3 percent over 2015–17, supported by robust domestic demand and tourism. Consumption will be boosted by household debt relief and—together with net trade—will benefit from favorable commodity prices. Good progress has also been made in improving the financial stability framework, but gaps remain. Iceland;inflation, exchange, exchange rate, capital account, monetary fund
