STORYLINE
Iceland has nationalised its second-largest bank under day-old emergency legislation and says it is negotiating a euro 4 billion (5.4 (b) billion US dollar) loan from Russia to shore up the nation's finances amid a full-blown financial crisis.
The central bank has also loaned euro 500 (m) million (680 (m) million US dollars) to Kaupthing, the country's biggest bank.
As the government scrambled to gain control, the central bank first announced that it had secured the Russian loan, then backtracked and said the countries had agreed to open talks on "financial issues" soon.
The takeover of Landsbanki came a day after trading in shares of major banks was suspended, the Icelandic krona lost a quarter of its value against the euro, and the government rushed through emergency legislation giving it sweeping powers to deal with the financial meltdown.
"Our primary concern is the sustainability of the banking system as well as the best interests of the Icelandic people," Iceland's Prime Minister Geir H. Haarde said on Tuesday.
He also said Russia was taking "a very friendly position" with regards to talks over a possible loan.
A loan from Russia would support the government's efforts to gain control of an increasingly dire financial situation, which saw the government coming to rescue of the third-largest bank, Glitnir, only last week.
Prime Minister Geir H. Haarde warned late on Monday that the heavy exposure of the tiny country's banking sector to the global financial turmoil raised the spectre of "national bankruptcy."
Meanwhile, Iceland's largest bank, Kaupthing said on Tuesday that it has received a 680 (m) million US dollar loan from the Icelandic central bank.
But said it has not been approached by the country's financial regulator about any possible state intervention.
Bank assets are nine times annual gross domestic product of 19 (b) billion US dollars.
