Summary

Macroprudential policy in Iceland recently has centered on the property market, given the importance of this market for households’ balance sheets, banks’ loan portfolios, and the potential systemic risks. The authorities have proactively used property-related macroprudential tools to safeguard the stability of the financial system and to ensure financial prudence among borrowers. The Central Bank of Iceland (CBI) is the authority, with the macroprudential policy mandate.
