Iceland's bonds as US funds mark them in their filings (SEC Form N-PORT), by currency. Fund marks as of Jul 2026; they lag the market by about two months.

By currency

EUR Euro bonds of non-euro countries vs German Bunds3 n/a —— —— $40.6M
ISK Other foreign-currency bonds own currency: yield only, no default number2 — —— —— $10.8M

Priced-in odds = spread ÷ (1 − 40% recovery) over five years; it includes a risk premium and overstates actual defaults. Own-currency bonds get a yield and no odds: a government can print its own currency.
