Day: February 22, 2006

The Icelandic and British prime ministers met this morning at the British prime minister’s residence at 10 Downing Street in London.

The Stars and Stripes web edition reports that a US serviceman, Calvin Eugene Hill, has been charged with the murder of a fellow soldier, the twenty year old Ashley Turner.

The Icelandic stock market fell across the board yesterday and today in the wake of Fitch’s revised outlook for Iceland. The Icelandic króna, ISK, fell, too.

In a statement released yesterday the ratings agency Fitch declared it had “revised the Outlooks on the Republic of Iceland’s foreign and local currency Issuer Default Ratings (“IDRs”) to Negative from Stable.”
