NatWest's tumultuous journey post-bailout saw leadership changes and significant financial losses, culminating in a near-£10 billion loss for taxpayers. Despite efforts to re-privatize and refocus on the UK market, public anger and operational challenges persisted, leading to the eventual ousting of CEO Alison Rose in 2023. The government’s gradual sell-down of shares began in 2015, but the long-term impact of the financial crisis remains evident.
NatWest's chair, Rick Haythornthwaite, expressed gratitude to UK taxpayers for the £46bn bailout during the 2008 financial crisis, emphasizing the bank's transformation into a safer, customer-focused institution. As it prepares for a return to private ownership, he assured shareholders that there are no plans for risky expansions despite government pressure for growth. Shareholders overwhelmingly approved a new executive pay policy, raising the CEO's potential earnings while maintaining a cautious approach to risk.
