Foreign securities, which make up 50.3% of the reserves, decreased by ISK 28.6 bn in January and foreign currency and deposits decreased by ISK 37 bn. The ISK, in terms of the EUR, was 16% stronger by the end of January than it was at the end of December. This appreciation explains the majority of the decrease in international reserves. The CB's net sale of foreign currency amounted to roughly ISK 1.3 bn in January and the effects on the official reserves of the CB therefore marginal. According to the CB's statistics, roughly ISK 180 bn of the reserves mature over the next 30 days. That is equivalent to half of the total reserves. http://www.landsbanki.is/english/markets/research/dailyeconomicbriefing/?NewsID=13688 I said it at the end of december, and it happened just like that, we are down to about "2" billion euros in reservs, with the reall xchange value is only about 1 billon, they are injecting about half a billion to the krona per month, this people are STUPID, do you know what kind of countries have this kind of national resrves? not even argentina or paraguay are in such miserable conditions, the worst part is that peole are so stupid(no offence fishy) that now that everybody knows of the restrictions of the krona(BECAUSE AT THE BIGINING PEOPLE DIDNT KNOW OR ACTUALLY DIDNT UNDERSTAND), they have made people belive that it is because of that that the krona is getting stronger, but guesS what? not even with the restrictions is working they still have to inject half a BILLION euros per month, I told you before 2 or 3 months tops, you will see, I tell you once again run to the banks and get your money out, buy a plane ticket and change as many euros as you can(i mean if its not money that you will need tomorrow ofcourse) loosing 20,000 in a plane ticket is nothing compare with what you will loose if you dont do it, even if its money you will need soon, and you noeed it in ISK, there is less risk of a thief brakeing into your house and still it than loosing it in the bank,(the banks will collapse again and merge into one national bank and maybe one will be privatize) Tuesday, February 10, 2009 4:50 PM

International reserves decrease in January as ISK strengthens
According to data published by the Central Bank yesterday, the official reserves of the CB amounted to ISK 364.2 bn at the end of January, having decreased by ISK 65.2 bn (15.2%) during the month. Foreign securities, which make up 50.3% of the reserves, decreased by ISK 28.6 bn in January and foreign currency and deposits decreased by ISK 37 bn.

The ISK, in terms of the EUR, was 16% stronger by the end of January than it was at the end of December. This appreciation explains the majority of the decrease in international reserves. The CB’s net sale of foreign currency amounted to roughly ISK 1.3 bn in January and the effects on the official reserves of the CB therefore marginal.

According to the CB’s statistics, roughly ISK 180 bn of the reserves mature over the next 30 days. That is equivalent to half of the total reserves.

Unfortunately Icelanders are very proud, but not pride of the good one but of the bad one, just make friends with people and get theyr trust, and they will start telling you how are they actually living, I was in a party yesterday and talked with many people all of them unemplyed or many of them used to own they oun firm or bussiness, I looked arround in the party everybody wearing of course very nice clothes and all but all of them driving very expensive cars, but talking to the and telling me how broke they are, not even enough money to pay the basic monthly things, all of them telling me that "well at least my wife stilkl has a job and we are just living very cheap from her salary", or the opposite sha has no job but he still has maybe 70% job, I was just asking but what all of them still driveing the nice car because they are not paying anymore, some because the loan is frozen others just waiting untill they take it away from them, the same with their houses or apartments houses, I was actually surprise and this are people that I know for a long time and never thought they would be in this situation, the situation is critic and its only getting worse, with or with out UE or Norway or what ever this country is not getting out of this soon, and even with all the help in the world will not get out of this, pension funds are going to be taken over by the goberment, unemployment funds, will run out in les than 7 months, krona will be cahnge to another currency but at a crazy rate, there is no way out of this situation, once you get a deadly desease there is nothing you can do, exept wait. of course you can make the life of the patient more comfortable but thats all. they talk so much about fish, what fish we dont have any it all belongs to few people, and anyways do you really belive you can sustain this economy in 2009 with fish? please!!! we are not in the 60's, we can ofcourse sell fish get some money out of it like in the past, but that gives money to live exactly like that like in the 60's the difference is that now we have BILLIONS of euros in debt. @Fishy

Prime Minister “Changes to the constitution which will enshrine national ownership of the country’s natural resources,”

Fisy “Still meaning unclear so we can only assume worst. Nationalisation of number of things putting under power of politicains and their appointees”

I don´t think it is a reference to a program of nationalisation.
Imo enshrine in this context means to make stronger.
To make stronger the protection in the constitution over the national resources.

Prime Minister “preparations will get underway on drafting a code of ethics for the Ministerial Offices; legal provisions on the responsibility of ministers, making this comparable to that in neighbouring countries”

That looks like an attempt to curb, amongst other things, the abuse of executive Ministerial actions undertaken contrary to the interests of the State.
