– It's impossible for me to say how this will end

Bjarni Benediktsson, head of the Icelandic business organization SA, expresses skepticism about Iceland joining the EU. A recent survey showed 66% of Icelandic businesses are against EU membership, with only 22% in favor. The country's economy has recovered from the 2008 financial crisis, but still struggles with high inflation, currently over 5%. Benediktsson argues that Iceland should handle its economic issues independently, rather than giving up control of its monetary policy to the European Central Bank.
