NatWest Group ( (GB:NWG) ) has issued an announcement.

NatWest Group has published its 2025 Annual Report and Accounts and its 2025 Pillar 3 regulatory disclosure, making both documents available via the UK’s National Storage Mechanism and the bank’s investor website, with printed copies to be sent to shareholders who have requested them. The release highlights a wide range of principal risks, including macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty, the impact of changing interest rates on margins and valuations, and currency fluctuations that could materially affect future results, capital, and the value of its securities, underlining the bank’s sensitivity to UK and global market conditions.

The group warns that inflation, shifting monetary and fiscal policies, supply chain disruption, sanctions, conflicts such as in Ukraine and the Middle East, and potential political change in Scotland could all undermine customer activity and asset values. It also notes that volatility in rates and foreign exchange, along with rapid customer responses to rate moves, may weaken net interest income and hedging effectiveness, reinforcing the importance of risk management as NatWest navigates a challenging operating environment for UK financial institutions.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:NWG) stock is a Buy with a £780.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on NatWest Group stock, see the GB:NWG Stock Forecast page.
