NatWest Group (NWG) said Friday it returned to full private ownership after the UK government sold its remaining stake in the group to end a 17-year state ownership since the global financial crisis.
The UK Treasury owned 84.4% of NatWest after a taxpayer bailout in 2008 and 2009. The government's shareholding was reduced in the following years via several accelerated book builds and share buyback plans, the lender said.
