  • Iceland's Financial Crisis
    Iceland’s Financial Crisis A Global Crisis • The current economic turmoil in Iceland is part of a complex global financial crisis and is by no means an isolated event. • Governments around the world have introduced emergency measures to protect their financial system and rescue their banks, as they suffer from a severe liquidity shortage. • Thus far, Iceland has been hit particularly hard by this unprecedented financial storm due to the large size of the banking sector in comparison to the overall economy. • The Icelandic Government has taken measures and is working hard to resolve the situation, both independently and in cooperation with other parties. • Iceland is cooperating with its Nordic and European partners and is currently consulting with the IMF on measures toward further stabilization of the Icelandic economy. 1 Bank Liquidity Tightens • The liquidity position of Icelandic banks tightened significantly in late September and early October as interbank markets froze following the collapse of Lehman Brothers. • The nationalization of Glitnir, one of Iceland’s three major banks, on Sept. 29 th , led to a credit rating downgrade on sovereign debt and that of all the major banks. • This led to further deterioration of liquidity. • Early October, all three banks were suffering from a severe liquidity shortage and in dire need for Central Bank emergency funding. Negative coverage on the Icelandic economy, particularly in the U.K, did not help either. • By mid-October, all three banks, Glitnir, Landsbanki and Kaupthing, had been taken over by the government on the basis of a new emergency law. • The banks had become too large to rescue.
