Governor Asgeir Jonsson S Presentation At Conference on Iceland S Currency Options

Governor Ásgeir Jónsson discussed Iceland’s experience in stabilizing a small open economy, highlighting reforms to the monetary policy framework and the role of the Icelandic króna as a shock absorber since 2010. He analyzed the potential advantages and disadvantages of adopting the euro, noting that loss of independent monetary policy would require strengthening other economic tools to safeguard stability. The Governor emphasized that lower interest rates depend on an institutional framework and fiscal policy supporting economic stability, regardless of whether Iceland retains the króna or adopts the euro.
