Statement of the Central Bank of Iceland Financial Stability Committee 20 September 2023
The Icelandic financial system is on a solid footing. The systemically important banks’ capital and liquidity are strong. In recent months, the banks have mitigated their foreign refinancing risk with bond issuance.
