i like the guy at around 1.10 : " it would be good for our neighbours (or something like that )" --- mate , you havent got any neighbours, iceland is a tiny country in a middle of nowhere (the closest ANYTHING would be GREENLAND (500km west of iceland) still iceland IS one of the most beautiful countries in the world. good luck
After what some greedy Bankers did to Great Britains money, Folks are going to be hesitant about putting money in, a country like Russia will do it to get Iceland in its pocket, and once in its pocket, there is no getting out of it, Next will come the military bases and Russian warships docking in their harbour
-- Iceland wants Russia to buy their debt ,,, ha , very interesting ,, Iceland should join EU , and use EUROS ,, or do bussiness with RUSSIA , Europe will not buy Icelandic debt. hahaha ,,, Nobody is willing to help in the time of crisis
When Russia was going bankrupt in the late 1990's, THEY DEFAULTED ON THEIR IMF LOANS, THEY DID NOT "PAY OFF EARLY' ..A DIME..ITS ALL ON RECORD ON THE wORLD BANF AND THE IMF..aUG. 27, 2003 THEY APPLIED FOR ANOTHER $4.5 BILLION..YOU HAVE MORE BULLSHIT THAN TWO RUSSIAN FINANCE MINISTERS...
Hey konetz, why did the IMF approve a $4.5billion loan on July 28, 1999..if Russia "paid back all loans in the 1990's"..who got the bullshit now..also check out world bank to Russia, why did they (Russia) apply for $2billion loan from US for oil& gas industry upgrades...look it up dummy
LOL...hey sup[erprick..konetz..just google Russian dedaulyed loans..they still owe IMF 49.1 millionUSD..and why is the rouble worthless, well just about$1usd = ..03.rouble.lokk it up stupid..and I know its is the old Soviet..but they defaulted on their leand-lease LOAN OF 4.1 BILLION.. Soviet = Russia..still same lies and tricks..
Тем временем власти непризнанных республик не прекращают поиска государств, способных решиться на их признание. Южная Осетия направила запрос о признании в Иcландию...
Russia should help this country and demand complete ideological loyalty from these bastards! Iceland, as 95% of Western countries, except Cuba and Venezuela, hates Russia and has Russophoby as obligatory as school curriculum, now they beg for the help of Russia... hahaha
And where are now the westerners who just recently has been screaming that soon Russia will not be able to feed their own people becouse of war in Georgia and US financial crisis ?
I have nothing against the Russians, but the question is why only Russia? aren't there other nations that can lend money as well? search elsewhere too. Maybe the Chinese, the Brazilian, the Mexican or the Canadian economic giants might be able to inject some money. We'll see what happens.
After many years of high growth, now we are facing a different reality. Things won't be as they used to be; now it's time we adjust to a life spending and using less . The same applies to ANY country in the world.
Just because Russia helps Iceland does not mean Iceland becomes a soviet nation. Besides the soviet union no longer exist! It is however a good propaganda tool to demonise others. Just like the idea of spreading democracy has become a reason to invade countries regardless of other factors. Russia is helping other countries in need. That is a good step forward.
Iceland can easily raise foreign currency by liquidating some of its foreign acquisitions. Philip Green has already offered 2-billion for Baugur Group's UK assets, but Iceland's Finance Minister complained that this was coercive opportunism. Accept the piffling 4-billion Russian deal, and he'll know what coercive opportunism really means.

And please don't talk about the world. It's disgusting when the west, 15% of the world population, terms himself as the world.

So Russia will inject liquidity and own a stake in Iceland, high risk, low growth market, that's why no one else wants a stake there.
