Iceland returns to the fold following Fitch upgrade to investment class.

Interesting to read the following article: http://www.sharecast.com: Fitch upgrades Iceland to investment grade and that one of the credit rating agencies, in this case Fitch, has actually upgraded a country's credit rating.
Significantly it is Iceland, the last country to be bankrupted by its banks and the credit crunch. 
Still got a long way to go but the country's efforts have been rewarded with a reinstatement of its rating to BBB- which apparently is the first "investment" grade and once again gives the country access to international capital markets.

    on a daily basis. It will always be interesting to read
    through articles from other authors and use something from their web
    sites.
