Corruption in Iceland describes the prevention and occurrence of corruption in Iceland.

Extent

According to several sources, corruption is not common on a daily basis in Iceland.^[1]^[2] However, the global financial crisis and subsequent revelations have had a negative impact on the integrity and independence of Iceland's governing institutions.^[3]

According to GRECO's evaluation report 2013, the Icelandic political system was weakened by potential nepotism, close personal relationships between public officials and business and political patronage at the local level.^[4] In general, businesses do not consider corruption an obstacle for doing business in Iceland, according to World Economic Forum Global Competitiveness Report 2013-2014.^[5]
