Credit risk: Management basis: Portfolio summary (continued) (Not within the scope of EY's review report) 
 
·      RBS's approach to lending is governed by a comprehensive credit risk appetite framework which is closely monitored
and actions are taken to adapt lending criteria as appropriate. Measured by RBS's asset quality scale, as at 30 June 2017,
72% of total current exposure was rated in the AQ1-AQ4 bands, equating to an indicative investment grade rating of BBB- or
above (31 December 2016 - 70%). Across the Personal lending exposure, 69% was in the AQ1-AQ4 category (31 December 2016 -
67%). The loan-to-value (LTV) ratio of the mortgage portfolio was maintained at 58%. 
 
·      Underwriting standards are monitored on an ongoing basis to ensure that they remain adequate in the current market
environment. The UK unsecured lending portfolio remained stable during the period with no material changes to asset
quality. 
 
·      The increase in current exposure in the Personal portfolio was mainly driven by growth in UK mortgage lending, which
was within risk appetite. For further information, refer to page 12. 
 
·      The marginal increase in current exposure across the Wholesale portfolio reflected increases in the Sovereign
sector, resulting from liquidity management activities. This was offset by decreases in the Banks & Other FIs portfolio,
which reflected fluctuations in exposure to traded products as a result of moves in market rates and by decreases in
Transport - particularly Shipping - in line with the exit strategy for this sector. 
 
·      Decreases in exposures classified as Risk of Credit Loss - as well as reductions in flows into forbearance - were
driven by the stabilisation of sub-sector areas within the Shipping sector that had been historically weaker. For further
information, refer to page 17. 
 
·      Credit quality in both the Wholesale and Personal portfolios was largely unchanged due to relatively stable market
conditions. 
 
·      The reduction in defaulted exposure (AQ10) and provisions in the Wholesale portfolio was largely driven by
write-offs and asset disposals across a number of sectors. 
 
·      AQ10 exposure in the Personal portfolio (including mortgages) remained broadly stable during the period.

 ●  The overall risk profile of the Personal portfolio, and its performance against credit risk appetite, remained stable during H1 2017.                                                                                                                                                                                 
 ●  The increase in total lending was driven by growth in mortgage lending within UK PBB.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
 ●  Although new mortgage lending was broadly in line with 2016, the increased lending was offset by repayments in H1 2017. The portfolio is closely monitored and risk appetite is regularly reviewed to ensure it remains appropriate for market conditions. Underwriting standards were maintained during the period.  
 ●  The majority of the mortgage growth was in the owner-occupied portfolio. In line with market trends, new mortgages in the buy-to-let portfolio decreased as tax and regulatory changes in the UK affected borrower activity.                                                                                          
 ●  The mortgage portfolio LTV ratio remained largely stable with marginal improvement in Ulster Bank RoI reflecting house price recovery and lower LTV ratios on new lending.                                                                                                                                            
 ●  The value of mortgages subject to forbearance decreased marginally. This reflected the relatively low-interest-rate environment in the UK, as well as RBS's focus on the ability of customers to repay in a sustainable manner over the term of the facility.                                                         
 ●  The proportion of owner-occupied mortgages by value on interest only and mixed terms (capital and interest only) remained broadly stable.                                                                                                                                                                             
 ●  Unsecured personal lending remained flat during H1 2017 despite an upward trend in the wider UK market. This  reflected a continued focus on client quality and affordability. Asset quality remained broadly stable.

Summary (Not within the scope of EY's review report) 
 
The CRE portfolio comprises exposures to entities involved in the development of, or investment in, commercial and
residential properties (including house builders but excluding housing associations, construction and building materials). 
 
The portfolio is tightly controlled. A dedicated CRE portfolio controls team is responsible for the oversight of portfolio
strategy, credit risk appetite and policies, as well as valuations and environmental frameworks. The sector is reviewed
regularly at senior executive committees. Reviews include portfolio credit quality, capital consumption and control
frameworks. 
 
The table below and all the disclosures in this section provide analyses of the lending exposure in the CRE portfolio on a
current exposure basis (net of provisions and after risk transfer).

 ●  The majority of CRE exposure is managed by Commercial Banking.                                                                                                                                                                                                  
 ●  The economic outlook for the sector remained uncertain in the first half of 2017. Accordingly, tightened underwriting standards were maintained, with no loosening of risk appetite in any asset class or sub-sector.                                           
 ●  CRE values fell after the result of the EU referendum in June 2016 but have since stabilised and have even staged a partial recovery in some sub-sectors. Office and Retail values remain slightly below pre-referendum levels while Industrial values have     
    exceeded them. Rental values have risen gradually across most business space markets, although there is a broad split between the South and the rest of the UK. Rental values remain weak across much of the Retail sub-sector, notably town-centre shopping    
    centres and retail units outside of the South. In contrast, out-of-town shopping centres and London retail units are still delivering moderate levels of rental growth.                                                                                         
 ●  The go-forward strategy for CRE is in line with the wider Ulster Bank RoI strategy to support the Irish economy, with some controlled growth of the balance sheet over the coming years.

·      The majority of the credit exposure to Shipping is managed in Capital Resolution and relates to loans or finance
leases secured by ocean-going vessels. RBS has a strategy to exit the ship finance portfolio. However, there is also
exposure outside Capital Resolution. This is principally related to Ports, Shipbuilding and Inland Water Transport. 
 
·      The key component of the AQ1-AQ4 exposure banding is a portfolio of long-dated finance leases, financing ships to
investment-grade oil majors and shipping companies. These assets are generally illiquid in nature. Capital Resolution seeks
to exit these positions as opportunities arise. 
 
·      The most significant movement in exposure during H1 2017 was in the AQ5-AQ8 banding where the bulk of the ship
finance debt portfolio lies. The reduction in exposure was mainly due to asset disposals resulting from the exit strategy. 
 
·      Continued progress in managing down the defaulted portfolio resulted in lower AQ10 exposure, with very few new
transfers into this banding during H1 2017. 
 
·      The weakness in the dry bulk and container shipping markets generated a high level of forbearance activity in 2016.
However, a recovery in those markets - particularly in dry bulk - during H1 2017 limited the flow into forbearance. Fewer
forbearance concessions were granted and these related to smaller exposures. However, there is £413 million of forbearance
in process, which has not yet reached legal completion. The market recovery - as well as clients, in general, continuing to
support their shipping investments in terms of maintaining debt service and security cover covenants - allowed RBS to
remove a number of transactions from Risk of Credit Loss status during the first half of the year.

Note: 
 
(1)       REIL comprise impaired loans and accruing loans past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest. Impaired
loans are all loans (including loans subject to forbearance) which carries an impairment provision. For
collectively-assessed loans, impairment loss provisions are not allocated to individual loans and the entire portfolio is
included in impaired loans. Accruing loans past due 90 days or more comprise loans past due 90 days where no impairment
loss is expected. 
 
 ●  Customer loans: Growth in UK PBB mortgages, primarily through intermediary channels, and Private Banking mortgage growth were partially offset by a Commercial Banking reduction in exposures with lower returns.                                                                                                     
 ●  Lower REIL, provisions and related credit metrics across all core franchises was due to improved asset-quality, with further reductions in Capital Resolution due to disposal activity.                                                                                                                               
 ●  Loan impairment losses and write-offs in the first half of 2017 were £152 million and £732 million respectively, of which £105 million and £226 million related to Personal unsecured portfolio. There were also write-offs of £132 million in the transport and storage sector, predominantly relating to shipping.
