Shanghai Time Shipping

RBS's strategic partnership with the Bank of China has opened up further opportunities for Global Banking teams to work together. For Shanghai Time Shipping, one of the largest shippers in China, we successfully completed a $60 million financing facility for the purchase of three vessels.

  • Contribution £6,122 million
    (2005 – £5,165 million)
  • Total income up 17%
  • Operating profit up 20%

Corporate Markets, formerly Corporate Banking & Financial Markets, was reorganised into two businesses, Global Banking & Markets and UK Corporate Banking, on 1 January 2006. This allowed us to focus on the distinct needs of these two customer groups and to enhance our services to them.

  • Global Banking & Markets Global Banking & Markets is a leading banking partner to major corporations and financial and governmental institutions around the world, providing an extensive range of debt financing, risk management and investment services to its customers.
