Following repeated delays, on November 19th the IMF finally approved a ＄2.1 billion loan to Iceland aimed at reviving the country’s economy "after the collapse of its banking system in October triggered a crisis of investor confidence and a sharp decline in the value of the Krona. The IMF loan is in the form of a two-year stand-by agreement, with Iceland able to draw about ＄825 million immediately and the remainder in eight installments each of around ＄155 million, subject to quarterly reviews.

Precise details of how all the refunds will be made are still to be finalized, although it was stressed that today’s IMF loan will not be used to repay depositors. The UK has loaned ＄3.3 billion to Iceland to cover the estimated 300,000 British depositors in Icesave.

As well as reaching an agreement on Icesave, the IMF had also wanted confirmation of additional binding support from Iceland’s Nordic neighbors. Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark have agreed to lend a combined ＄2.5 billion, with Poland offering a further ＄200 million and even the tiny Faroe Islands stumping up ＄50 million. Talks are also believed to be ongoing with Russia, while EU countries may provide future funding.
