| Iceland's financial crisis spreads - 7 OCT 2008 |
 |
Just 24 hours after Iceland's prime minister
introduced emergency legislation giving his
government sweeping new powers over the
financial sector, the country has
nationalised its second largest bank.
The bailout of Landsbanki comes after trading
in shares of major banks was suspended on
Monday - and the exchange rate of the
Icelandic Krona was fixed - after it lost a
quarter of its value against the euro. Sylvia
Lennan reports.

| Icelandic Financial Crisis |
 |
Anytime people, anytime!
* Iceland is undergoing a traumatic financial
crisis. In just a few weeks, it has seen the
collapse of its currency and its banking
system. All three of Icelands major banks
collapsed, following their difficulties in
refinancing their short-term debt and a run
on deposits in the United Kingdom. Iceland
has accused the British Government of helping
to bring down its troubled banking system
after the United Kingdom used anti-terrorism
legislation to freeze Icelandic assets in
Britain. Following the suspension of trading
in banking shares in Reykjavik, Landsbanki
was formally taken into state ownership under
emergency legislation. Landsbanki has since
been placed in administration leaving around
300,000 UK-based savers with its online
deposits business, Icesave, unable to
withdraw their cash, although a 100%
government guarantee does exists for savers
deposits. UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown said
that Icelandic banks had threatened to not
honor obligations to British account holders,
and declared Iceland as terrorist country and
seized the banks assets. This caused the
banks to go under and the Icelandic economy
to implode. After having Landsbanki
nationalized, the government of Iceland has
turned to Russia to negotiate 4 billion euro
loan to halt a fast-moving collapse of the
countrys finance sector. "Russia wants to
show that it's a financial power and is
willing to help solve the global crisis,"
said Beat Siegenthaler, chief emerging
markets strategist in London at TD Securities
Ltd.
