Iceland government debt, borrowing and interest

The latest official general government figures for Iceland, as stored in Bullion API’s scheduled cache. Each figure shows its own period. Cached, not live.

Each figure keeps the government scope and definition its publisher uses. Scopes, periods and definitions differ between the United States, the United Kingdom, the euro area and the EU member states, so these figures are not comparable across geographies.
