The Medium Term Debt Management Strategy 2012-2015 sets forth the Government‘s plans for debt financing plans for the specified period. It provides a description of the composition of the debt portfolio, inherent risk factors and contingent liabilities. The institutional structure regarding debt management is also described.

A special section within the Central Bank of Iceland, Government Debt Unit, is responsible for the implementation of the Treasury‘s debt management policies. The Medium-Term Debt Management Strategy is now published for the second time. The revised strategy includes two changes to objectives and guidelines for debt management. On the one hand, minor changes are made to guidelines for the composition of the Treasury‘s debt portfolio. On the other hand, the target size of new Treasury bonds will be changed so that, when a bond is issued for only two years, the final size of the series will be a minimum of 15 bn.kr. In other respects, the objectives for final Treasury bond series size are unchanged. Press release.pdf GDM Strategy.pdf
