HM Treasury publishes details of Asset Protection Scheme

December 7, 2009--The Treasury has today published its final agreement with the Royal Bank of Scotland on the bank’s participation in the Asset Protection Scheme, along with further detail of the scheme’s operation and the assets it covers.

The Treasury has also announced the launch of the Asset Protection Agency that will administer the scheme in order to protect the taxpayer’s interest.

Financial Services Secretary to the Treasury Paul Myners said:

“The Government’s decisive action to stabilise the financial system has succeeded in protecting the savings of British families. We have strived throughout our interventions to ensure maximum value for the taxpayer, charging commercial rates for our support for the banks and making supported firms pick up the tab for extra operating costs.

“The agreement we have reached with RBS follows this approach. This final agreement sees a much-improved position for the taxpayer compared to the initial deal announced in February. RBS will bear a much greater share of the burden, with the first loss increasing by £18bn. The bank will also pay the full operational costs of the Asset Protection Agency.
