Ludovic Lamant
Born in 1983, French journalist Ludovic Lamant worked for Reuters and Cahiers du Cinéma before joining Mediapart where he specialises on such international economic issues as the subprimes crisis and the development of Southern Hemisphere countries.
While countries elsewhere in Europe have responded to the debt crisis with unpopular austerity plans, Iceland, which allowed its banks to fail, has now embarked on a slow journey towards recovery. In a referendum scheduled for 9 April, the citizens of the country may refuse to reimburse the international creditors of the collapsed Icesave savings scheme.
