Arion Bank pub­lishes Im­pact and Al­loc­a­tion Re­port for green fin­an­cing

Arion Bank has published its Impact and Allocation Report for green financing for 2025. The report provides an overview of the allocation of funds to projects that meet the criteria for green financing under the Bank’s Sustainable Finance Framework and highlights the positive environmental and climate impacts of those projects.

The report outlines the main categories of sustainable financing and presents the status of green bonds and green deposits at the end of 2025. It also features selected examples of projects financed by the Bank, illustrating the ambition Arion Bank seeks to promote through the issuance of sustainable financial instruments.

Arion Bank’s Sustainable Finance Framework was published in 2024 and builds on the Bank’s Green Finance Framework, which was introduced in 2021. In recent years, Arion Bank has been active in issuing green bonds. At the end of 2025, five green bond issuances were outstanding, two of which were issued during the past year. The Bank has developed a strong product offering related to green financing, including green mortgages, green vehicle loans, green deposits and corporate loans.

With the publication of the 2025 Impact and Allocation Report, Arion Bank underlines its commitment to transparent and responsible disclosure on the deployment of capital. The Bank’s objective is to increase the share of sustainable financing in its loan portfolio and thereby support Iceland’s climate targets and international commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Arion Bank’s new economic forecast: A long winter, a slow thaw

Arion Bank’s new economic forecast assumes that winter will be long for the Icelandic economy and that the spring thaw will be late in coming. There is no end in sight to the war in the Middle East, with repercussions for energy markets, inflation and growth both in Iceland and abroad. Hopes of swift interest rate cuts have faded, and households and businesses have become more pessimistic. These challenges are reflected in a lower growth forecast, higher interest rates and higher inflation.
