The UK Government, through His Majesty’s Treasury, has reduced its stake in NatWest Group plc to 6.98% following the disposal of 79,844,067 ordinary shares. This move is part of the government’s ongoing trading plan to gradually reduce its ownership in NatWest, which was initially increased during the financial crisis to stabilize the bank.
