0910 GMT - NatWest is well placed to weather a potential credit downturn given the resilience of its customers, the bank's finance chief tells CNBC. The bank's economic assumptions haven't moved materially despite all the noise, Katie Murray says. Impairment charges, which reflect bad loans and is a key metric for the group to see how financially healthy people are, are at historically low levels, she says. Signs of an economic deterioration aren't showing up in its numbers. "It's not something we see in the day to day activity of how people are behaving, the lending that people are taking out, or the money that they're depositing, or the investments we're seeing into shares," Murray adds. Shares are up 1.6% and 27% year to date. (elena.vardon@wsj.com)
