Siðareglur ráðherra (Code of Ethics for Ministers) were first adopted by the Icelandic government in 2011 and revised in 2017, partly in response to GRECO recommendations. The code establishes principles of integrity, transparency, and accountability for cabinet ministers. Relevant provisions include: (1) ministers must avoid situations where private interests conflict with their official duties; (2) ministers must publicly disclose their financial interests and those of close family members; (3) ministers should not accept gifts or benefits that could compromise their independence. The 2017 revision added a soft provision on post-employment conduct, recommending that departing ministers exercise prudence when taking new positions that relate to their former portfolio. However, this is a guideline (leiðbeiningar) rather than a binding legal obligation — there is no enforcement mechanism and no specific cooling-off period. The code sits alongside the more general lög um Stjórnarráð Íslands nr. 115/2011 (Government Offices Act), which establishes administrative standards for the executive branch. Separately, the Siðareglur Alþingis (Code of Conduct for MPs, adopted 2016) covers parliamentary conflicts of interest but similarly lacks post-employment provisions.
