Case Study: Iceland
http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/iceland-makes-fledgling
-recovery-from-its-economic-meltdown/2012/01/12/gIQAW1q83P_story.html
Pre growth and borrowing made financial industry so large for such a small
country (local and foreign accounts)
3 largest banks were allowed to fail
Lots of foreigners (esp Brits) had accounts in Iceland
Inflation over 20 per cent; krona lost over half of value against Euro
Debt to GDP grew over 100 percent by 2011
Diversifying economy esp in tourism and exports in agriculture has helped its
economic recovery
Case Study: Spain
Country experienced a long boom after joining Euro, underpinned by a housing bubble,
financed by cheap loans to builders and homebuyers.
House prices rose 44% from 2004 to 2008
Economy grew 3.7% per year on average from 1999 to 2007
Although the Spanish government still had relatively low debts, it has had to borrow heavily
to deal with the effects of the property collapse, the recession and the worst unemployment
rate in the eurozone.
Spent lavishly on new infrastructure and big projects like airports and swimming pools
Before the credit crunch, the banks had been thriving thanks to the rapid expansion of the
property sector.
But collapse caused a plunge in the value of the assets the loans were based on, and meant
borrowers had trouble making repayments.
