Compared with the number of population the total foreign trade (imports and exports) is larger than that of most other countries. This is largely due to the fact, that a country like Iceland which has a very limited range of products, must depend on foreign countries for a great number of important goods and necessaries. The import and export value per head of inhabitants may be seen from the following summary: 1896—1900 1901—1905 1906—1910 1911—1915 1916—1920 1921—1925 i926 . . . qQ27 Total 169 kr, 228 — 39 304 — 207 "63 — 3€3 - 9 — 580 - bo 1238 568 — 522 - 1090 515 — 611 — 1126 (mports 8 %&r Exports Ng It should be mentioned that the great increase in 1916—1920 is due sole- ly to the enormous general rise in the price-level during the Great War.
