The government announced that it would lift almost all of the remaining capital controls,

冰島政府宣佈將會解除大部份的資產管制

allowing its citizens, corporations, and pension funds full access to global capital markets.

讓公民、企業及退休基金在全球資本市場有全面性的掌控

That puts an end to an 8 year struggle to clean up after the 2008 banking collapse.

這代表自從 2008 年金融海嘯以來，為期八年來的財務危機已正式結束

For more, let's bring in Bloomberg news reporter Omar Valdimarsson, he's in Reykjavík Forest.

我們邀請彭博新聞記者 Omar Valdimarsson 來為我們做更多介紹，他現在位於冰島的雷克雅未克森林

Omar, great to have you on the program, so where will Iceland go from here?

Omar，很高興能邀請你上節目，冰島的未來將會如何呢？

Some signs, it seems that the economy of Iceland is doing pretty nicely thank you right now.

有些跡象顯示冰島的經濟現在做得不錯

It sure is, thank you. And it would be interesting to follow the next few days for in terms of what would happen.

沒錯，謝謝。接下來幾天的狀況也很值得我們繼續追蹤

You'll see, whether we'll see a lot of volatility in the Krona, or whether Icelandic treasury bonds and the index bonds are gonna be

我們是否會看到克朗有很大的波動，或是冰島國債及指數債券是否會變得

very volatile, and what traders are gonna do about it.

非常不穩定，而投資人又會有什麼應對措施

So it's starting to kind of be an interesting time to follow.

所以現在正是追蹤這則新聞的最佳時刻

Do you think that, obviously the treasury in Iceland are fully prepared for that kind of volatility that might come in,

你認為——很顯然地，冰島的國庫對於那樣的不穩定性一定準備萬全

and I suppose really what the market wants to know is,

我想市場最想知道的是

is this absolute removal, complete removal of all capital controls?

這次是不是真的完全、完整的結束資本控制？

Money free in, money free out.

金錢可以順利的進入，也可以通順的流出？

Not completely. There are some roadblocks.

不完全，還是有一些阻礙

Iceland started with the try to prevent the unification of the candidate,

冰島開始試圖預防候選公司間的聯合，

which basically had a lot to do with the collapse in 2008.

這基本上跟 2008 年的金融海嘯有很大的關係

And there are some remnants that are still left in the process

還有一些殘餘的事情仍需要處理

for US funds are still locked in the capital controls, but they have about two weeks to negotiate with the government if they want to get out in this go.

因為美國的資金仍沒有開放在資本管制外，但他們若想趕在這一波開放，仍有約兩週的時間可以與政府洽談

It seems amazing 8 years after the crisis, Omar, seems amazing now that the government

這一切發生在金融海嘯的八年後，實在非常驚人

hopes that these moves the removal of these capital controls will ease pressure on the currency to appreciate

政府希望除去資本管制能減輕貨幣的壓力

what has been driving that currency so much stronger over recent ten months.

以感謝過去十個月的狀況讓貨幣更穩定下來

Well, tourists arrivals have been astronomical in Iceland.

來冰島的觀光客數量非常多

We've gone from about 500,000 tourists to a projection of 2.3 million this year.

在這一年中，我們從五十萬觀光客增加到兩百三十萬

And you know, there's only 340,000 people living here, so that just puts a huge pressure on a lot of services and lost of period(?) instead of being ______ island(?)

而冰島只有三十四萬個居民，所以這會讓我們的服務業壓力大增，且⋯⋯

And obviously, in return, the currency is well.

而也因為如此，貨幣現在非常穩定
