REYKJAVIK, Iceland — Icelandic voters appeared today to have rejected a government-approved deal to repay Britain and the Netherlands $5 billion for their citizens’ deposits in the failed online bank Icesave.
Partial results of a national referendum suggested the “no” side had gained more than half the votes — a reflection of enduring anger over the economic havoc wrought by Iceland’s risk-taking bankers.
“This is of course a disappointing result,” said Prime Minister Johanna Sigurdardottir.
