Ireland's Finance Ministry and Britain's NatWest Group said on Friday they had jointly sold 54.6 million shares in Permanent TSB representing 10% of the Irish bank's share capital. The Irish state will continue to hold 57.4% of PTSB while NatWest will retain a 11.7% stake. PTSB, the smallest of the three domestically owned banks that survived Ireland's financial crash a decade ago, was effectively nationalised in 2011.

The British government is selling £1.26bn worth of its stake in NatWest, reducing its ownership of the lender that it bailed out in 2008 to below 40 per cent. The sale, announced on Monday, will cut the government’s stake in the high street bank to 38.6 per cent, down from 41.4 per cent. “Today’s sale is another major milestone in returning NatWest to full private ownership as promised,” said City minister Andrew Griffith.

NatWest shares slide on disappointing deposit figures despite profit surge.
LONDON (Reuters) -British bank NatWest reported a 20 billion pound fall in deposits in the first quarter as consumers faced with a cost of living crisis forked out on steeper bills and shopped around for the best deals on their savings. The bank's CEO Alison Rose said competition for savings amid higher Bank of England interest rates had stepped up and households and businesses feeling the squeeze from high inflation were drawing on savings and paying down some debts. Despite a forecast-beating jump in profits, boosted by the higher rate environment, the bank's shares fell 6% as investors digested a third straight quarter of lower deposits and no upgrade to performance forecasts for the year.
