Another bad day for Icelandic krona

The Icelandic krona continued its downward slide yesterday, hitting 220.2 points in the weighted average of foreign currency index. The currency closed on Monday at 212 points. The currency weakened by 3.72 percent yesterday and 4.63 percent so far this week.



At the close of trading yesterday, the euro cost 168 kronur, the British pound 187, the American dollar 127, the Swiss franc at 111 and the Japanese yen was trading at 1.26 kronur. The yen strengthened by 4 percent yesterday and the Swiss franc by 3 percent, RUV.is reports.

The current downward slump in the currency is a serious setback, as stability of the krona and reduced inflation are the top priorities set by the IMF and the Central Bank.

The current rates are still significantly better than the historic lows in early December when the British pound, for example, cost 220 kronur for a time.

грустно, конечно же.
Но будем надеяться на лучшее.

Это точно... Неизвестность - не самое лучше состояние. Но, Gella, ты правильно сказала, будем оптимистами
