Iceland’s trade deficit narrowed to ISK 41.7 billion in June 2025 from ISK 43.2 billion in the same month last year.
Exports declined by 10% year-on-year to ISK 68.7 billion, driven by reduced supplies of manufacturing products (-10%) and other products (-86%).
Conversely, higher sales were seen for agricultural products (92%), farmed fish (51%), and marine products (10%).
Meanwhile, imports fell at a much softer pace of 7% to ISK 100.4 billion, attributed to the decrease in purchases of transport equipment (-29%), fuels and lubricants (-16%), capital goods (-12%), and industrial supplies (-6%).
Over the first seven months of the year, Iceland’s trade deficit grew to ISK 477.7 billion from ISK 378.3 billion in the previous period.
