RBS has warned of the harm of Brexit on the UK economy, even after posting some huge profit figures.

Brexit threatens RBS’s ability to clear more than £44.08 billion pounds per day in cross-border payments, if they are not granted licences to clear fees via its Frankfurt operations.

The bank reported profits of £1.62bn for 2018, more than double the £752m it achieved the previous year.

RBS was bailed out by the government in 2008 as the financial crisis hit the global economy. It cost the UK taxpayer £45bn and the Government still owns 62% of the bank.

RBS chief Ross McEwan called the results “a good performance in the face of economic and political uncertainty”.

McEwan said UK economy faced “a heightened level of uncertainty related to ongoing Brexit negotiations”.

Mr McEwan continued: “Larger corporations are pausing on their investments. And this cannot be good for the economy long-term because those large corporations then employ smaller businesses and individuals.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
