Landsbankinn Economic Research today published its economic forecast to 2027. Economic Research forecasts 1.4% economic growth this year and 2.1% next year. Rarely has uncertainty been greater and the forecast can be said to hold until further notice.
The economy has cooled following a strong growth period in the first years after the Covid pandemic. Economic Research expects that the economy is now starting up again slowly and that it will grow gradually throughout the forecast period. Capital formation is expected to increase less in the coming years as compared to 2024, while private consumption gathers momentum as the forecast period progresses and exports will be substantial. The forecast addresses the clouds on the horizon in the global economy as the domestic economy is highly dependent on foreign trade not experiencing major disruptions.
The forecast is available on the Bank's website.
