在这篇评论中，简要讨论了2008年底袭击冰岛并涉及该国整个银行系统崩溃的危机，并概述了其对区域就业水平的影响。目前，失业率最高的是冰岛西南部，包括雷克雅未克。依赖渔业的社区表现较好，但渔业管理再次成为政治竞技场的一个主要问题。我们追溯了个人可转让债券（ITQ）制度的起源，并推测了它在最终导致银行倒闭的一系列事件中的作用。报告讨论了正在进行的渔业管理制度改革努力。这些措施包括重新建立开放的沿海捕捞和国家逐步召回ITQ。最后，对冰岛经济未来的一些问题进行了简要的讨论。
In this commentary, the crisis that hit Iceland in late 2008 and involved the collapse of the country’s entire banking system is discussed briefly and its impact on regional employment levels is outlined. Currently, unemployment is highest in south-west Iceland, including Reykjavik. Fisheries-dependent communities have performed better, but fisheries management is yet again a major issue in the political arena. We trace the origins of the Individual Transferable Quota (ITQ) system and speculate about its role in the series of events that eventually led to the downfall of the banks. Ongoing attempts to reform the fisheries management system are discussed. These include the re-establishment of open-access coastal fishing and the gradual recall of ITQs by the state. Finally, some issues regarding the future of Iceland’s economy are discussed briefly.
