Royal Bank of Scotland får bakläxa i stresstest
Brittiska Royal Bank of Scotland; RBS, fick underkänt i vad som beskrivs som centralbanken Bank of Englands hårdaste stresstest hittills, skriver Bloomberg. Enligt centralbanken måste RBS fylla på sin kassa.
Även några andra banker, bland dem Barclays, missar målen i några av stresstestets delar, men Barclays behöver inte höja kapitalinsatserna ytterligare eftersom banken redan aviserat sådana åtgärder.

Wikipedia (en)
The Royal Bank of Scotland (Scottish Gaelic: Banca Rìoghail na h-Alba, Scots: Ryal Baunk o Scotland, Welsh: Banc Brenhinol yr Alban), commonly abbreviated as RBS, is one of the retail banking subsidiaries of The Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc, together with NatWest and Ulster Bank. The Royal Bank of Scotland has around 700 branches, mainly in Scotland though there are branches in many larger towns and cities throughout England and Wales. Both the bank and its parent, The Royal Bank of Scotland Group, are completely separate from the fellow Edinburgh based bank, the Bank of Scotland, which pre-dates The Royal Bank of Scotland by 32 years. The Bank of Scotland was effective in raising funds for the Jacobite Rebellion and as a result, The Royal Bank of Scotland was established to provide a bank with strong Hanoverian and Whig ties.
