Islande (1985-1986) L'Islande reste un cas à part en Europe: le chômage y est inconnu alors que l'inflation y atteint des taux "latino-américains" (35% en 1985)! Une évolution vers l'orthodoxie financière avait bien été imposée en 1983 par le gouvernement conservateur ; cependant, les résultats obtenus en 1984, au prix de troubles sociaux et d'une forte baisse du pouvoir d'achat, n'ont pas été confirmés en 1985. L'endettement extérieur du pays a pris une ampleur alarmante (le seul versement des...

Islande 1996-1997 En 1996, l'Islande a tiré de sa situation de membre de l'Association européenne de libre-échange (AELE) et de l'Espace économique européen (EEE), non candidat à l'Union européenne, le plus grand profit. L'envolée des investissements (+ 24 %) et de la consommation des ménages (+ 7 %) a contribué à une forte croissance du PIB (5,4 % contre 2,0 % en 1995), mais aussi au déficit des comptes courants (1,8 % du PIB) après trois années d'excédent. Malgré la poussée de la demande inte...

Islande (1989-1990) En Islande, la récession économique qui avait démarré en 1988 s'est poursuivie en 1989. La chute des cours du poisson (-15% depuis 1986) et la diminution des prises (-12% par rapport à 1988) ont été aggravées par la hausse de l'inflation (23%) et la détérioration des termes de l'échange (dévaluations successives), conséquences de la "surchauffe" des années précédentes. Un nouveau recul de la croissance du PNB a été enregistré (-2,8%), ainsi qu'une baisse du revenu disponible...

Islande (1990-1991) En Islande, la hausse des prix du poisson à l'exportation (+16%) et l'amélioration des termes de l'échange (+6,7%) ont ouvert la voie à un redressement de l'économie en 1990. L'inflation est descendue à 7,1%, loin des 71% de 1983 et même des 25,2% de 1989. Le chômage s'est stabilisé à 2%. En volume, la consommation privée et la croissance du PNB, négatives en 1989, ont été nulles et les exportations ont baissé de 1,6%. Les élections législatives du 20 avril 1991 ont accordé...

Islande (1983-1984) L'Islande, ancienne colonie danoise devenue indépendante en 1944, dispose grâce à la pêche et à l'industrie de l'aluminium d'un PNB par tête proche de celui du Danemark. Les controverses autour des bases militaires de l'OTAN se sont quelque peu apaisées et les "guerres de la morue" ont finalement tourné à l'avantage des insulaires. Mais il ne suffit pas de protéger les zones de pêche: encore faut-il vendre le poisson! Des dévaluations répétées ont aidé à conserver les marché...

Islande 1997-1998 Restée à l'écart de l'Union européenne, l'islande a connu en 1997 une nouvelle année de prospérité économique après une période de croissance ralentie (1992-1995). L'augmentation du PIB (4,9 %) a reposé sur une forte expansion de la demande intérieure, la consommation privée (5 %) ayant été stimulée, dès 1997, par une élévation notable des salaires résultant des accords conclus en mars 1997 pour deux ans (+ 5 % en 1997 et + 6,5 % en 1998). L'inflation s'est maintenue à 1,5 % e...

Islande (1982-1983) L'Islande, ancienne colonie danoise devenue indépendante en 1944, est une île volcanique pauvre en ressources naturelles. Son économie repose essentiellement sur la pêche. Or les exportations de poisson ont sensiblement diminué en 1982. L'industrie de l'aluminium, fondée sur le potentiel hydroélectrique local, a souffert elle aussi d'une conjoncture internationale peu favorable. L'année 1982 a ainsi été...

Islande 1986-1987 L'Islande a connu en 1986 une forte reprise économique: croissance du PIB de 6%, inflation ramenée à 12% (32% en 1985), chômage toujours inexistant (0,7%), excédent commercial et réduction du déficit de la balance des paiements à 1,5% du PNB (4,3% en 1985). Facteurs essentiels de cette prospérité: une augmentation du tonnage de poissons capturés (8,5%) et une conjoncture internationale favorable à ce pays si dépendant de son commerce extérieur: baisse du prix du pétrole et des...
