Treasury wants more answers from Royal Bank of Scotland

Monday 9th November, 2009
The UK Treasury has asked bailed-out Royal Bank of Scotland Group to advise why businesses do not want its loans.
RBS has told the government it will not meet its £16 billion business lending target because of subdued demand in its loans department.
The Treasury has asked the bank to publish a so-called consumer charter to prove their conditions for loans are not proving too onerous for the business public.
The government has said it will inject another £33.5 billion into RBS, taking its stake in the troubled bank to 84%.
It is already 70% owned by the taxpayer.  Email this story to a friend

UK Treasury asks for proof from RBS
So very glad to see you take the UK banking crisis seriously in Takikistan.
...It’s something of a worry to us in England also!!

Hot air balloon ride
Several years ago I took a ride in a hot air balloon for charity. The event was sponsored by the Royal Bank of Scotland logo and the balloons all had the logo on the sides.
Now whenever I see that logo I’m always reminded of that warm summers day drifting above the cloud line without a care in the world...
Less than 12 months later the RBS share price collapsed and steamrollered my savings into the ground.
Still, lovely balloon ride.

Subdued demand for RBS loans
The subdued demand is due to the doors into the loans department being locked and barricaded to customers other than fellow banks
