Chairman opens Annual General Meeting
19 April 2011
"At this meeting a year ago, I said RBS had begun its transition from problem to opportunity, an opportunity for the UK Government and, of course, for you and all our other shareholders.
Well, a year on and now halfway into our turnaround plan, I am pleased to say our businesses are shaping up and our recovery is clearly underway. We have made particular progress on reducing risk and refocusing the Group. There is still a lot of work to do and many obstacles to overcome, but we are on track to meet our ambitious goals."
