Iceland Prime Minister quits

Iceland PM Katrín Jakobsdóttir at the Nordic Council session

Still, Jakobsdottir said she believed the government had made significant progress on the challenges and that the country was on a firmer footing than just a few months ago.

Jakobsdottir has been crucial in keeping together the current coalition of her own Left-Green Movement, the pro-business Independence Party and the centre-right Progressive Party.

Her government has been in power since 2017, providing unusual stability in a country which went to polls five times from 2007 to 2017, a period marked by political scandals and distrust of politicians following the 2008 financial crisis.
