THE Royal Bank of Scotland today reported a net loss of £24.1 billion ($53 billion) in 2008, the largest annual shortfall ever recorded by a British company.
RBS, which is nearly 70-percent owned by the British state after a massive bailout, said it would sell off a large part of its assets, withdraw or reduce operations in 36 countries and re-focus its activities on the domestic market.
The beleaguered bank said the state had agreed to insure RBS "toxic'' assets worth £325 billion ($713 billion) and would cover 90 percent of losses stemming from such holdings.
It suffered the losses after a catastrophic year when the financial crisis sparked by the failure of US bank Lehman Brothers brought it to the brink of collapse.
RBS was forced to write off £16.2 billion ($35 billion) on its disastrous acquisition of Dutch bank ABN Amro at the top of the market in 2007.
Reports have suggested that as many as 20,000 jobs could be cut. |
