The Ministry of Finance presents the Treasury's Medium-term Debt Management Strategy

The Treasury's debt management strategy reflects the government's plans for financing its activities during this period. It provides a breakdown of the Treasury's current debt structure and the main risk factors in its debt management, as well as the Treasury's large exposures. Arrangements for implementing financing policy are also described. The Ministry of Finance is responsible for the state's debt management, formulates its financing policy and makes decisions on issuing debt securities. The Government Debt Unit, a special section within the Central Bank, handles the implementation of the strategy under an agreement with the Treasury. This is the first instance of such specific and detailed presentation of the government's debt management strategy.

  • Government bond issuance for 2026 is estimated at 200 b.kr. market value.

  • It is possible that the Treasury’s year-2026 borrowing need will be met in part with issuance of Treasury bills, drawdowns of foreign deposits held in the Treasury’s current account with the Central Bank of Iceland, and the sale of a portion of the Housing Fund’s loan portfolio.
