RBS First-Half Profit Doubles.
Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc (RBS) said pretax profit almost doubled in the first half and forecast that it will meet a target to cut costs by 1 billion pounds ($1.7 billion) in 2014.
Pretax profit at Britain’s largest state-owned lender may have increased to 2.65 billion pounds from 1.37 billion pounds a year earlier, RBS said in a statement today. Operating profit probably jumped to 2.6 billion pounds from 708 million pounds, according to the results, which were released a week early.
Impairment losses slumped 1.88 billion pounds to 269 million pounds, according to the statement. At its bad bank, RBS reported lower provisions following the sale of assets at more favorable prices. The bank made additional provisions of 150 million pounds for wrongly sold payment-protection insurance and 100 million pounds for interest-rate swaps.
“The results we are posting today show the steady progress we are making as we take the steps to be a much simpler, smaller and fairer bank,” the CEO said in the statement.
These results show that underneath all the noise and huge restructuring of recent years, RBS is a fundamentally stronger bank that can deliver good results for customers and shareholders.

Banco Espirito Santo Jolts the European Market
The equity markets saw a major sell over the past few days due to major concerns over the financial health of a major Portuguese lender. Banco Espirito Santo SA saw major rating agencies such as S&P and Moody’s sharply downgrading the long term debt rating. The principle reason for the downgrade was due to the massive exposure the bank has to the ultimate parent company Espirito Santo Group. These concerns saw the Portugal’s benchmark index lead the declines of 4.2% followed by exchanges in Spain, Italy, France and Germany to name a few, giving negative closing for the week. This sparked concerns across the Atlantic Ocean with the Dow Jones Industrial Average giving a 1.1% drop during the day.
