“Despite the rejection of the revised agreement to resolve the dispute over the Icesave offshore bank deposit scheme, the British and Dutch deposit insurance funds are expected to receive initial payments from the Landsbanki estate soon for the costs they incurred in covering their citizens’ Icesave deposits,” Moody’s statement reads. “In addition, the Landsbanki estate now expects to be able to make significantly higher payments to priority claimants as asset recoveries have been much higher than expected earlier. The outstanding Icesave obligation and potential liability to the government might therefore be reduced significantly in the coming months regardless of the referendum outcome,” it continues. ICELAND
