CITY VIEWS: DO YOU THINK THE TAXPAYER WILL EVER PROFIT FROM ITS INVESTMENT IN RBS?
CHRIS HUGHES | LEE BOLTON MONIER-WILLIAMS
“The taxpayer has to profit from its investment in RBS. If it doesn’t, it will be politically unacceptable. The taxpayer will simply have to sit on the shares for as long as is necessary.”
GREG BEEVORS | CLOSE BROTHERS
“Eventually, I think it is possible the taxpayer will profit. In due course, inflation will bring the shares up to price at which they were bought. It really depends on whether we can wait that long.”
SAMMY ROSS | DBFS
“I think the taxpayer will profit in the end. We are all, one way or another, invested in RBS. I think most of us realise that in the long-term our investment will have been beneficial.”
