We have a plan
The Social Democrats' Election Priorities
Lower household costs
Reduce interest rates and inflation quickly
- through restructuring of state operations, a stability rule, and balanced government budgets by 2026.
Increase housing availability immediately
- with emergency measures: gain control over Airbnb, build modular homes, and convert commercial buildings into residential units.
Ensure secure livelihoods throughout life
- by tying pensions to wage growth and enacting the Social Democrats’ bill for a new parental leave system.
Secure steps in healthcare
Develop an employment policy for Iceland
- focusing on high-productivity industries, sustainable growth, and well-paid jobs
A permanent family doctor for all citizens
- as a 10 year goal - prioritize people with long-term illnesses and those over 60 in the first term
National effort in elderly care
- with the construction of 500 new nursing home spaces and stronger home care services nationwide.
Ensure access to healthcare services regardless of location
- by strengthening ambulance services and increasing subsidies for travel costs.
Strengthen the foundations of the economy
Double investment in transportation infrastructure
- so Iceland reaches the OECD average – funded through general resource taxes and energy production.
Support energy transition and value creation
- by developing energy infrastructure and incentives for green industries.
