How is Iceland's economy? It is very cold there. What is the leading industry in their country?

Iceland's economy mainly depends on marine fisheries. Fishing provides 60% of Iceland's export income and employs 8% of the working population.

In 2005, residents' final consumption increased by 1 1.9%, and fixed assets increased by 34.5%, which was the main reason for GDP growth. Imports increased by 28.4%, resulting in a current account trade deficit of 654.38+062 billion kronor (US$ 2.43 billion), accounting for 654.38+06.3% of GDP, which seriously affected GDP growth.

In 2006, Iceland's GDP was1141700 million kronor (18 1 100 million USD), with an annual growth rate of 2.6%, and the per capita GDP exceeded 60,000 USD, reaching 60,370 USD. Compared with the annual growth of 7.5% in 2005, it has dropped significantly. In 2005, the growth rate of gross national income exceeded 6.7%, mainly due to the improvement of trade and the decrease of net expenditure on basic income.

Agriculture:

According to the statistics of 1980, the output of raw fish is 1500839 tons, hay is 3.879 million cubic meters, potatoes are 13465438 tons, radishes are 902 tons, radishes are 827927, and horses are 52346.

Industry:

1, energy industry

Iceland has unique hydropower and geothermal resources, and its energy industry is very developed, with sufficient electricity and low prices. Geothermal utilization and development technology is unique in the world.

2. Metallurgical industry

Energy-consuming industries such as aluminum smelting and steelmaking have developed rapidly in Iceland. At present, there are three aluminum smelters with annual output of 6.5438+0.78 million tons, 70,000 tons and 90,000 tons, and silicon steel mills with annual output of 6.5438+0.2 million tons. Iceland's Reydarfjordur aluminum plant is currently under construction (with an annual output of 320,000 tons), and Grundartangi aluminum plant is being expanded (with an annual output of 654.38+070 tons). By 2008, the annual output of aluminum in Iceland will reach 760,000 tons. Iceland will become one of the largest aluminum producers in the world, accounting for 5% of the world's aluminum production (1300-140,000 tons).

Pharmaceutical industry:

Iceland's biopharmaceutical industry has developed rapidly in recent years, and now it ranks fourth in the world and has become one of Iceland's main economic pillars. This is mainly due to the progress and development of biomedical and genetic research in Iceland.

Building materials industry:

Cement, thermal insulation materials, aluminum corrugated boards, paints and coatings can not only meet domestic demand, but also be exported in large quantities.

Automobile modification industry:

We have patented technology and equipment, which can convert ordinary jeeps into high-power and large-size unicycles to drive in glaciers, mountains, lava and other areas.

Computer software industry:

Games, commerce, anti-virus and disinfection, teaching and laboratory software are developed, and it is one of the major software exporters in the world.

Tourism:

Iceland has three national parks:

1. National Park is the former site of Parliament, located in the southwest of Iceland, 50 kilometers east of the capital. In 930 AD, early Icelandic immigrants held the first National People's Congress here, and established the world's earliest elected parliament and the first Icelandic Constitution. It has beautiful scenery and is famous for its fractured valleys in Europe, Asia and the United States and its pure and deep parliamentary lake. This park is also a world cultural and natural heritage scenic spot.

2. Skav tafel, located in the southeast of Iceland, is the largest national park and nature reserve in Iceland. The park integrates glaciers, volcanoes, canyons, forests and waterfalls, with spectacular scenery.

3. Glacier Canyon River National Park (J? Kullsargljufur), located in northern Iceland, is the largest waterfall and one of the longest canyons in Europe, and is the habitat of birds.
