•• After the collapse of the Icelandic banking system in late 2008 the Icelandic FSA split up each of the failed banks into a good bank / bad bank or a new bank / old bank. •• Capital controls were introduced in Iceland in November 2008 as a result of the banking crisis and have applied since. •• The Icelandic government recently adopted measures to facilitate the liberation of the capital controls. •• As part of these measures the old banks completed a composition agreement in 2015. •• The old banks were required to pay a “Stability Contribution” to the Icelandic state, the amount of which is different for each old bank. •• The “Stability Contribution” paid to the Icelandic state, includes the transfer of a majority of the ISK cash and ISK assets of the old banks, as well as the issue of a debt instrument in ISK. •• Glitnir transferred the total equity in Íslandsbanki (new bank) to the Icelandic state as a Stability Contribution. •• The state now holds 2 out of the 3 major financial institutions.
