The weights of currencies in the baskets used to calculate the broad and narrow merchandise- and trade-weighted indices have been updated. The weights are determined based on Iceland’s external trade in 2020. The last review was carried out at the beginning of 2021. The tables show the new baskets and the changes resulting from the review. The revised baskets will be used as of 1 January 2022 and will remain in use until the next annual review.

The currency baskets are reviewed annually based on Iceland’s external trade during the prior year. The aim is that the baskets reflect as closely as possible the composition of Iceland’s external trade in goods and services. Currency selection is based on the three-year average of a country’s share in Iceland’s goods and services trade. The main changes from the previous baskets are as follows:

Narrow merchandise (A), narrow services (C), and narrow trade basket (E):
• The Brazilian real is added to the baskets.
• The Saudi Arabian riyal is excluded from the baskets.

Broad merchandise (B), broad services (D), and broad trade basket (F):
• The Jamaican dollar is added to the baskets.
• The South Korean won is excluded from the baskets.
• The Turkish lira is excluded from the baskets.

In the merchandise trade baskets, the weight of the euro and the Brazilian real increases considerably between years. On the other hand, the weight of the Canadian dollar, the Norwegian krone, the Australian dollar, and the US dollar decreases. The main changes in the services baskets are a significant increase in the weight of the euro and the Danish krone and a modest increase in the weight of the Swiss franc. The weight of the US dollar declines the most in the services baskets, although the weight of the Canadian dollar and the pound sterling declines somewhat as well. The trade baskets reflect these changes to a large degree. The weight of the euro increases the most between years, and the weight of the Danish krone and the Brazilian real has increased somewhat. The weight of the US dollar declines the most, although the weight of the Australian dollar and the Canadian dollar declines somewhat as well.

The revised baskets will be used as of 1 January 2014 and will remain in use until the next annual review.

The weights are determined based on the composition of Iceland’s external trade during the previous year. The aim is that the baskets reflect as closely as possible the composition of Iceland’s external trade in both goods and services. In 2011, Statistics Iceland began compiling data on the country distribution of Iceland’s services trade; therefore, it is now possible for the first time to include these data in the three-year average of total external trade. As a result, the selection of currencies for the baskets will be determined henceforth by trade in both goods and services. The main changes from the previous baskets are as follows:

 

Narrow merchandise (A), narrow services (C), and narrow trade basket (E):

• The Saudi Arabian riyal is added to the baskets.
• The Nigerian naira is excluded from the baskets.
• The Lithuanian litas is excluded from the baskets.

Broad merchandise (B), broad services (D), and broad trade basket (F):

• The Saudi Arabian riyal is added to the baskets.

There are some changes in the weight of the currencies in the trade baskets as well, as information on services trade has improved significantly. Previously, the primary services trade information used to measure the trade baskets came from the tourism sector; therefore, services trade made limited impact on the trade basket. However, more extensive information on service trade is now available, and the share of services trade in the trade baskets is higher as a result. The most significant change in the trade baskets is that the weight of the euro diminishes and the weight of the British pound increases.

The Central Bank of Iceland has revised the weights of currencies in the baskets that the Bank uses to calculate the broad and narrow merchandise and trade indexes. The weights are determined on the basis of Iceland's external trade in 2006. The last review was made in December 2006. Revised currency weights and the changes from the previous weights are shown in the accompanying tables. The revised baskets will be used to calculate changes in the exchange rate index as of December 3rd, until the next review at a similar time next year.

The weights are determined on the basis of the composition of Iceland's external trade during the previous year. The aim is for the baskets to reflect as closely as possible the composition of Iceland's external trade in both goods and services. Main changes from the previous baskets are the following:

 

Narrow merchandise (A) and narrow trade basket (C):

• The Russian ruble and the Estonian krona drop out.
• The Lithuanian litas is added to the baskets. 

Broad merchandise (B) and broad trade basket (D):

• The Turkish lira and the Czech krona are added to the baskets. 

 

Publication of the current official exchange rate index will be discontinued. However, it will continue to be calculated until the end of 2008 on the basis of the current basket, which took effect in July 2005.

As of December 1, 2006, a new method has been introduced for calculating the effective exchange rate indices published by the Central Bank of Iceland. It is planned to cease updating of the currency basket that has hitherto been used to calculate the official exchange rate index and discontinue publication of this index at the end of 2008. A number of new effective exchange rate indices have been calculated. The weights differ considerably from those used for calculation of the official exchange rate index. In particular, the weight of the US dollar has been reduced. The baskets used to calculate the new indices are based on Iceland’s foreign trade over the preceding year and will be updated annually every September. The following tables show the new baskets based on foreign trade in 2005 and changes from previous baskets.

Publication of the current official exchange rate index will be discontinued. However, it will continue to be calculated until the end of 2008 on the basis of the current basket, which took effect in July 2005.

The main purpose of the change is to allow the baskets to reflect as closely as possible the composition of Iceland’s foreign trade in both goods and services, by increasing the number of component currencies. Calculation of the baskets has been simplified and made more systematic, and also brought more closely into line with established international practice. The reasons behind the changed methodology for calculating the exchange rate indices are described in Monetary Bulletin 2006/2. Four types of index are now calculated. Two are based on merchandise trade and contain different numbers of currencies, while the other two include the tourism sector. The baskets used for calculating the indices are as follows:

A. Narrow merchandise basket: Calculated from merchandise trade with all countries with a weight of at least 1% in Iceland’s merchandise trade over the past three years.

B. Broad merchandise basket: Calculated from merchandise trade with all countries with a weight of at least 0.5% in Iceland’s merchandise trade over the past three years.

C. Narrow trade basket: The same as A, except that it takes into account the relative share of tourism in services trade. The distribution of tourism revenues is estimated from travellers’ nights of accommodation by country of origin, and expenditures from a geographical breakdown of credit card expenditure by Icelanders abroad.

D. Broad trade basket: The same as B, except that it takes into account the relative share of tourism as in C.

Trade with countries not fulfilling the above conditions for a 0.5% share of total trade in the broader baskets or 1% in the narrow baskets is zero-rated. The criterion for inclusion is three-year average merchandise trade volume. This prevents the need for repeatedly including new currencies in the baskets and removing others due to annual fluctuations in trade. No adjustment is made for third-market effects.

The new merchandise trade indices have been calculated retrospectively to 1995 and new services trade indices to 1999 and these time series are accessible on the Central Bank of Iceland website.
