NatWest Group is reportedly scaling back its activities in US and European government bond markets, according to Bloomberg. The bank has not publicly confirmed this move. As of June 30, 2026, NatWest Markets held primary liquidity securities totaling approximately £79.5 billion, mostly in government and SSA bonds. Meanwhile, NatWest was selected by HM Treasury as one of six joint lead managers for the DIGIT pilot, the UK’s first digitally native gilt to be issued natively on blockchain, with issuance planned for Q1 2027. The bank returned to full private ownership in May 2025, after being under UK government stewardship since the 2008 financial crisis.
