Publication dates for Iceland's sovereign credit ratings

Credit rating agencies Standard & Poor's, Moody's, and Fitch are required to
publish the issuance dates of EU member states' credit ratings pursuant to
Regulation no. 462/2013. The purposes of the regulation are to enhance
transparency in rating agencies' operations, improve the rating process, and
increase the companies' responsibility for the credit ratings, which have a
demonstrable effect on the credit terms offered to EU member states. The
regulation applies in the EEA states, although neither it nor some recent rules
on financial supervision, etc., (cf., for example, Regulation no. 1095/2010)
has been formally implemented in the EEA states. The publication schedule is
entirely the responsibility of the rating agencies themselves. The 2014
publication dates for Iceland's ratings are as follows:
