Landsbankinn posted a 33.1 billion ISK profit but began eyeing the struggling construction industry for potential loan losses; Islandsbanki’s profit rose 13% to 21.8 billion ISK, even as it set aside funds for similar risks and planned to reduce its headcount. Arni Gudmundsson, a national prevention expert, states that the most vital life lesson is caring for and taking responsibility for the less fortunate.
