RBS Share Price Drops Despite Strong Performance

July 29, 2010

Despite strong performance by the Banking major, stocks of Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc (NYSE:RBS) weakened a bit. The decline in the stock prices of the Royal Bank of Scotland might have to do something with news regarding the recent takeover bid by Pakistan’s Faysal Bank (KAR:FABL) to takeover Royal Bank of Scotland’s Pakistan Operations.

Pakistan’s Faysal Bank won the bid to takeover the Royal Bank of Scotland’s local operations in Pakistan and allows Pakistan’s lending company Faysal to expand its retail presence in the area. The purchase of RBS assets in Pakistan means that Faysal will be doubling up its branch base and will be able to grow its business in Pakistan.

The recent takeover bid for RBS local branches in Pakistan has recently got its approval from the Pakistan Central Bank. RBS is in a move to ramp up its business by selling up non-core operations and has recently hired bankers to boost its Asian Equities business.
