U.K. Nears NatWest Exit as Stake Falls Under 1%

Dow Jones

2025/05/15

By Elena Vardon

The U.K government trimmed its stake in NatWest Group below 1% as it edges closer to returning the bank to private ownership.

The Treasury disposed of 87.3 million ordinary shares in the London-based retail and commercial lender, reducing its shareholding to 0.90% from 1.98% previously, regulatory filings showed Thursday.

The government's stake in the bank resulted from its 45.5 billion pound ($60.34 billion) bailout of Royal Bank of Scotland in 2008. RBS bought NatWest in 2000 and rebranded the enlarged company as NatWest Group in 2020. At its peak, taxpayers owned 84% of the bank.

The state has been steadily unwinding its position through a combination of directed buybacks and share placements. In March 2024, its ownership in the bank fell below 30%, meaning it was no longer NatWest's controlling shareholder and slipped below 10% in December.

NatWest's stock has risen 52% over the past 12 months, giving it a market capitalization of almost 40 billion pounds.
