UK Government's stake in NatWest falls to 26.95%, aiming for private ownership by 2025-2026.

The UK Government's stake in NatWest has fallen to 26.95%, as it continues to sell its shares to bring the bank back into private ownership by 2025 or 2026. A public share sale is planned for this summer, aimed at creating a "new generation of retail investors". The Treasury has been gradually selling its stake in NatWest since its bailout in 2008, when the Government held an 84% stake in the bank.
