Oddi Printing, Iceland’s biggest printing company, is gaining notoriety in the U.S. for its fast and highly flexible printing services. The company has received numerous requests from publishers, asking that their publications be printed and bound in Oddi’s printing plant in Reykjavik.
Oddi boasts highly efficient door-to-door shipping in the U.S. with delivery times of only one week. Once the shipment has arrived in New York, each shipment is then split up to different forwarding locations within the U.S.. Also, to save costs at Customs, Oddi combines shipment costs for various clients, reducing total shipping costs.
Furthermore, shipping time to mainland Europe is roughly three weeks; and shipping time to Asia is an estimated four weeks.
Being a large printing company in a small Icelandic market has made Oddi’s production services very flexible and reliable. In recent years, this has become much more of an advantage with the demand for shorter production lead-time increasing.

This is the kinds of businesses that inwards investment would support.
There are many others; Geogreenhouse.is exporting tomatoe, sellers of nice wool coats and sweater like koffort.is, lambskin rugs like lodskinn.is, fish leather handbags and Nikes from them at atlanticleather.is, the list goes on.
But because of the idiot capital controls the money can’t find its way in easily+.
The lesson we have learned and was underlined in the financial crisis 2008 ( that we did know before ) is that we must earn foreign currency, not borrow it.
And the best way is to get more free trade agreement with other countries ( directly on our own or through EFTA negotations ) and also to make best use of our location for things like the data centers, the Dorrit idea art storage place, the between US and EU conference center, etc.
( This is conference center is very valid as any one who has tried to enter US for a conference or meeting in recent years — harrassment and just plain poor treatment of travellers and visitors. )
Being between US and Europe Iceland is ideal location. )
Fish, aluminum smelter using energy, future oil and gas that will come from Drekki, etc.
Thank the gods we are outside EU in EFTA and only have the less than the 10% of EU regulations to pay for and restrict us, we have our own currency, and ability to trade freely with who we want.

..to when Gylfi Magnússon was kicked out by being too good for his job replaced by the highly talented at some thing Árni Páll Árnason, suddenly all the wind went out of the sails of government to lift the controls and we are left with this kind of non policy nonsense :

It’s scary how much Social Demicrats want ISK not to recover so they can force us to take help from the EU commission ( some how that is never explained ) even though no help will be coming.
So here we are in 2011 left with this investment crippling exchange controls situation as the IMF leaves :
