Democorruptcy Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 RBS -12.32% Ouch. Don't RBS have about £3.4 trllion in assets and our GDP is worth £1.2 trillion? The government owns 87% of RBS How much GDP have we lost today? About 35%? 1.2t / (3.4t * .1232) If it goes up 0.2% next quarter it's not very useful is it?

Not sure that calc is right - should be NET assets (i.e. net of liabilities) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frederico Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Not sure that calc is right - should be NET assets (i.e. net of liabilities) don't forget this is the banking system where assets are libilities and liabilities are assets.
