Where is the Money?
How safe is my money? We read this question in the papers very often. The news is reflecting the increasing size of the financial crisis on a day by day basis. Who can you trust?
In Iceland, anyone who has invested his money in an Icelandic bank should hurry up and redeploy these assets. The Icelandic government now admits publicly that it sees a real danger that it will need to declare its own bankruptcy. This could lead the Icelandic economy deeper into the downward spiral. In theory this could make it the first state in the current global financial crisis to suffer the dire consequences of not having enough funds. However, this is no reason to overreact and withdraw your own money or perhaps hide it under the mattress. The last big crisis happened back in 1923, and the consequences we all know. It would be childish to compare the present with those dark days.
