The house will dominate the har-
bour—and not everybody agrees on
how beautiful it is. Some think it is
built in the taste of the banksters, the
modern day Vikings who are blamed
for bankrupting the country, with lots
of steel and glass.
So says Egill Helgason. But yes, Harpa
has opened! Read the fascinating story of
a building in the making since 1929

tween the amount of work that has

of money I got paid. It is not at all
overpriced.

When you attract these people,
you have a commitment from them
upfront. This might be a bad analogy,
but if they are granted Icelandic citi-
zenship and they get hit by a bus the
next day you have still got investment
locked in for ten years, specifically
excluded from fisheries, energy distri-
bution and generation, aluminium…
those were my suggestions, but if
there are other politically sensitive
industries that I haven’t picked up
on then [the government can] put a
restriction on them.

granting Icelandic citizenship to ten
wealthy foreign nationals
