Helgi Thór Arason, Managing Director of Landsbréf:
"The year 2023 was successful for Landsbréf and its funds, despite challenging market conditions, particularly in the domestic equity market. The year was characterised by high inflation and rising interest rates, reflecting in part the strong momentum of the Icelandic economy. These remain challenging times for economic management in Iceland, and it is crucial for those in power to take responsible steps toward continued prosperity. Recent wage agreements, declining inflation, and expectations that an interest rate reduction cycle may be beginning support my optimistic outlook for the future. At Landsbréf, we take our role of responsibly managing the nation’s savings seriously, and we are grateful for the trust that thousands of fund members have placed in us."
