  • Iceland's amendment to Icesave agreement supports fiscal sustainability - Special Comment  $550.00
    ...In June 2009, the Icelandic government came to an agreement with the UK and the Netherlands to cover the re-payment of their residents' deposits in a failed Icelandic bank, Landsbanki. The agreement, which meant a significant increase in the country's government debt, was met with popular and political resistance in Iceland.

Also, the debt servicing capacity of Icelandic households is rapidly declining, driven by rising unemployment, weaker house prices and a weakened Icelandic krona. Therefore, we expect a significant increase in problem loans in the near future. The negative outlook expresses Moody's expectations for the fundamental credit conditions in the Icelandic banking system over the next 12 to 18 months. Following the collapse of the country's three largest banks in autumn 2008, the whole banking system is now effectively owned by the government. All domestic assets were transferred to newly created banks,...
