For all the euro 's faults , it is doubtful whether icelanders would be keen to hold and use kronur if they were not forced to by capital controls .
除了欧元自身缺点,如果冰岛人没有受到资本管制的强迫,他们是否还会热衷于持有并使用克朗呢?
Iceland introduced capital controls in the wake of its financial crisis , imposing a limit on foreign-exchange transactions of 350000 kronur ( about $ 3000 ) for residents planning to travel abroad .
Only about one-fifth of those loans were in kronur ; interest rates on these were punitively high . Ordinary citizens instead borrowed from their banks in cheaper currencies such as yen and swiss francs to buy even the most modest homes and cars .
