In March, the ºâ̳¾Ê ȯɽ¤¹¤ëd that it had sold ¡ò1.1billion ²ÁÃ͡ʤ¬¤¢¤ë¡Ë of ³ô »Ù±ç¤¹¤ë to NatWest - °ÊÁ° known as ²¦¼¼¤Î Bank of Scotland (RBS) until July last year - before selling the same ÎÌ two months later.
It sold another two tranches totalling ¡ò2.5billion each in 2015 and 2018 that ºï¸º¡Ê¤¹¤ë¡Ë its ½ê͸¢ ³ô from 78.3 per cent to 62.4 per cent as part of ·×²è¡Ê¤¹¤ë¡Ës to ·ë¶É Ëǰסʤ¹¤ë¡Ë its whole ²Ð·º¡¿ÅÒ¤±¤ë in the ºâÀ¯¾å¤Î services group by 2023-24.
However, these sell-offs ÅÀ²Ð¡Ê¤¹¤ë¡Ëd ¤«¤Ê¤ê¤Î co ntroversy as the ³ô were all Ëǰסʤ¹¤ë¡Ëd at a ½ÅÍ×¤Ê loss compared to the ÉáÄ̤Ρ¿Ê¿¶Ñ¡Ê¤¹¤ë¡Ë 502p-per-³ô price the À¯ÉÜ paid to Êݼá¡Ê¶â¡Ë out RBS over a £±£°Ç¯´Ö ago.
