Notes: 
 
 (1)  The Group benefits from diversification as it reduces risk by allocating positions across various financial instrument types, currencies and markets. The extent of the diversification benefit depends on the correlation between the assets and risk factors in the portfolio at a particular time. The diversification factor is the sum of the VaR on individual risk types less the total portfolio VaR.  
 (2)  The detailed RCR perimeter was not finalised at the start of the year. As average, maximum and minimum VaR are measures that require daily data, they have been prepared on a best efforts basis.                                                                                                                                                                                                              
 
 
Key points 
 
 ·  The period end and average total VaR were lower in H1 2014 than in H2 2013, driven by continued reductions in credit spread and interest rate VaR, notably during Q1 2014.                                                                                                                                                                                                              
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
 ·  The reduction in credit spread VaR was primarily driven by credit valuation adjustments (CVA) and funding valuation adjustments being included in the internal VaR measure in February 2014. Previously, only associated hedges were included. This approach reflects a more comprehensive economic view of the risk. Continued risk reduction also contributed to the decline in VaR.  
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
 ·  The reduction in interest rate VaR was driven by de-risking and repositioning in CIB, primarily in the Rates business.

Capital charges* 
 
The total market risk minimum capital requirement calculated in accordance with CRD IV, £2,669 million at 30 June 2014,
represents 8% of the corresponding RWA amount, £33.4 billion. It comprises a number of regulatory capital requirements
split into two categories: (i) the Pillar 1 model-based position risk requirement (PRR) of £1,717 million, which in turn
comprises several modelled charges and (ii) the standardised PRR of £952 million, which also has several components. 
 
The contributors to the Pillar 1 model-based PRR are presented in the table below. 
 
Following the implementation of CRD IV on 1 January 2014, credit hedges eligible for CVA are no longer included in the
modelled market risk capital charges, namely VaR, stressed VaR and the incremental risk charge. Such hedges are now
included in the CVA capital charge, which forms part of the capital calculation for counterparty credit risk.

Key points 
 
 ·  Overall, the Pillar 1 model-based PRR declined 18% to £1.7 billion in H1 2014, driven by reductions in the VaR and Stressed VaR charges, offset somewhat by an increase in the RNIV charge.                                           
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
 ·  The decrease in the VaR charge in H1 was primarily driven by the removal of the CVA eligible hedges (as noted above) and ongoing risk reduction.                                                                                      
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
 ·  The decreases in the VaR and Stressed VaR charges in Q2 were driven primarily by a reduction of the asset backed product portfolio in line with risk reduction strategy.                                                              
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
 ·  Given the reduction in the size of the correlation trading portfolio, RBS ceased using an internal model for all price risk during Q2. With the PRA's approval, all remaining open risk is now capitalised under standardised rules.  
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
 ·  The RNIV charge increased in H1 as, following an agreement with the PRA, the materiality threshold previously in place was removed and all RNIVs are now capitalised.

Market risk: Non-trading portfolios (continued) 
 
Non-trading portfolios 
 
Non-trading VaR 
 
The average VaR for the Group's non-trading book, predominantly comprising available-for-sale portfolios, was £4.8 million
during H1 2014 compared with £7.8 million during H2 2013. This was largely driven by a decline in the credit spread VaR in
Q1, which partly reflected a decision to switch some of the securities that RBS holds as collateral from floating-rate
notes issued by financial institutions to government bonds during March as part of efforts to reduce RWAs. The period end
VaR decreased from £5.0 million at 31 December 2013 to £3.3 million at 31 March 2014, for the reason explained above. It
increased to £5.8 million at 30 June 2014, largely due to data quality improvements that expanded the scope of positions
captured in RBS's non-traded VaR metrics. 
 
Structured credit portfolio 
 
The structured credit portfolio is measured on a notional and fair value basis because of its illiquid nature. Notional and
fair value decreased to £0.5 billion and £0.4 billion respectively (31 December 2013 - £0.7 billion and £0.5 billion),
reflecting the sale of underlying assets, primarily consumer ABS (student loans), RMBS and a small amount of CLOs, in line
with RCR strategy. 
 
Non-trading interest rate risk 
 
Non-traded interest rate risk impacts earnings arising from the Group's banking activities. This excludes positions in
financial instruments which are classified as held-for-trading. 
 
The methodology relating to interest rate risk is detailed in the 2013 Annual Report and Accounts. 
 
Non-traded interest rate risk VaR metrics are based on interest rate repricing gap reports as at the reporting date. These
incorporate customer products and associated funding and hedging transactions as well as non-financial assets and
liabilities such as property, plant and equipment, capital and reserves. Behavioural assumptions are applied as
appropriate. 
 
VaR does not provide a dynamic measurement of interest rate risk since static underlying repricing gap positions are
assumed. Changes in customer behaviour under varying interest rate scenarios are captured by way of earnings at risk
measures. VaR relating to non-traded interest rate risk for RBS's retail and commercial banking activities at a 99%
confidence level and a currency analysis at the period end were as follows:

Key points 
 
 ·  The increase in period end VaR mainly reflects an increase in the duration of the Group's balance sheet, largely due to action taken by CFG to reduce earnings sensitivity to movements in short-term dollar interest rates.                                                                                       
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
 ·  The decline in sterling VaR over the period did not reflect a reduction in RBS's underlying exposure to sterling fixed rate assets, which was broadly unchanged. Instead, it reflected reduced volatility in sterling interest rates over the period and a smoother maturity profile of the underlying exposures.  
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
 ·  These movements remained well within the Group's approved market risk appetite.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
 
 
Sensitivity of net interest income* 
 
Earnings sensitivity to rate movements is derived from a central forecast over a twelve month period. Market implied
forward rates and new business volume, mix and pricing consistent with business assumptions are used to generate a base
case earnings forecast. 
 
The following table shows the sensitivity of net interest income, over the next twelve months, to an immediate upward or
downward change of 100 basis points to all interest rates. In addition, the table includes the impact of a gradual 400
basis point steepening (bear steepener) and a gradual 300 basis point flattening (bull flattener) of the yield curve at
tenors greater than a year. 
 
The scenarios represent annualised interest rate stresses of a scale deemed sufficient to trigger a modification in
customer behaviour. The asymmetry in the steepening and flattening scenarios reflects the difference in the expected
behaviour of interest rates as they approach zero.

Country risk 
 
Country risk is the risk of losses occurring as a result of either a country event or unfavourable country operating
conditions. As country events may simultaneously affect all or many individual exposures to a country, country event risk
is a concentration risk. For other types of concentration risks such as product, sector or single-name concentration, refer
to the Credit risk section. For a description of the governance, monitoring and management of RBS's country risk framework
and definitions, refer to Risk and balance sheet management - Country risk of RBS's 2013 Annual Report and Accounts. 
 
Overview* 
 
The comments below relate to changes in the six months to 30 June 2014 unless indicated otherwise. 
 
 ·  Net balance sheet and off-balance sheet exposure to most countries shown in the summary tables declined across most broad product categories. RBS maintained a cautious   
    stance, many clients continued to reduce debt levels, and the US dollar and the euro depreciated against sterling by 3.3% and 3.9% respectively.                          
                                                                                                                                                                              
 ·  Total eurozone net balance sheet exposure decreased by £4.9 billion or 5% to £97.6 billion. This was caused largely by reductions in cash deposits held with central banks 
    in Germany and the Netherlands, in corporate lending in Ireland and Germany, and in net held-for-trading (HFT) government bond positions in the Netherlands and Spain. CDS 
    net bought protection on eurozone exposure increased by £1.1 billion. Net HFT debt securities in Germany, France, Belgium, Austria and Finland increased while exposure to 
    the Netherlands, Italy and Spain decreased, driven by market opportunities. Net lending in RCR was £4.3 billion for the eurozone as a whole, including £1.4 billion in    
    Germany, £0.8 billion in Spain and £0.6 billion in both France and Ireland. Commercial real estate sector accounted for broadly half of the total.                        
                                                                                                                                                                              
 ·  Eurozone periphery net balance sheet exposure decreased by £1.5 billion to £40.3 billion.                                                                                 
    ○                                                                                                                                                                         Ireland - Ulster Bank Ireland moved £2.0 billion of cash deposits with RBS to the Central Bank of Ireland in anticipation of the new CRD IV liquidity coverage ratio requirements, which will come into effect in 2015. Net lending to corporates and households decreased by £1.4 billion and £0.8 billion respectively, reflecting currency movements, repayments, sales and write-offs.  
    ○                                                                                                                                                                         Spain - net balance sheet exposure decreased by £1.8 billion, largely as a result of reductions in net HFT and AFS debt securities and lower lending to the commercial real estate sector. The reduction in AFS securities reflected the sale of some of the covered bonds ('cedulas') in the RBS NV liquidity buffer.                                                                      
    ○                                                                                                                                                                         Italy - net derivatives to banks increased by £1.2 billion, driven by the novation of a portfolio from a counterparty.

Country risk: Overview* (continued) 
 
 ·  Germany - net balance sheet exposure fell by £3.8 billion, mainly due to a decrease of £2.7 billion in cash deposits with the Bundesbank. Other significant reductions were in commercial real estate lending (£1.3 billion) and in derivatives, notably to     
    banks, by £0.6 billion reflecting market movements. Off-balance exposure decreased by £1.0 billion, mostly owing to a reduction in the insurance sector.                                                                                                        
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
 ·  France - net balance sheet exposure rose by £0.8 billion, reflecting business fluctuations. Off-balance exposure decreased by £0.4 billion, largely due to reductions in the oil and gas, industrials and insurance sectors.                                    
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
 ·  Netherlands - net balance sheet exposure fell by £2.8 billion as a result of a drop in HFT government bonds, a decrease in cash deposits held with the central bank, and reductions in AFS debt securities. RBS NV's liquidity needs have decreased in line with 
    balance sheet reductions, and sales are being executed dependent on market conditions, which were relatively benign in H1. Off-balance sheet exposure increased by £0.2 billion, primarily in the non-bank financial institutions sector.                       
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
 ·  Belgium - net balance sheet exposure increased by £1.0 billion, in HFT government bonds. Off balance exposure decreased by £0.3 billion, mostly in the electricity sector.                                                                                      
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
 ·  Other eurozone - net HFT government bonds increased by £0.6 billion reflecting increased long positions.                                                                                                                                                        
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
 ·  China - lending to banks increased by £0.2 billion, while off-balance sheet exposure to banks fell by a similar amount. The bank undertakes stress testing across both financial institutions and corporate portfolios, with early warning indicators and action 
    plans for a possible economic downturn.                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
 ·  Japan - net balance sheet exposure decreased by £0.9 billion as a result of reductions in derivatives exposure to banks and other financial institutions and lower corporate lending.                                                                           
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
 ·  India - net balance sheet exposure fell by £0.9 billion, with reductions in lending and AFS debt exposure to banks and in lending to corporate clients.These reductions in part reflected securities and loans sales to reduce risk-weighted assets in          
    favourable market conditions.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
 ·  Russia - net balance sheet exposure decreased by £0.1 billion to £1.8 billion, including £0.9 billion of corporate lending and £0.6 billion of lending to banks. Nearly half of the latter exposure was fully hedged. Following developments in Ukraine, ratings 
    were reviewed, limits adjusted and additional credit restrictions placed on new business. Exposures are also reviewed against any international sanctions.                                                                                                      
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
 ·  Turkey - lending to banks increased by £0.3 billion, partly reflecting drawings under committed limits.                                                                                                                                                         
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
 ·  Funding mismatches - material estimated funding mismatches at risk of redenomination at 30 June 2014 were: Ireland £7.5 billion (up from £6.5 billion at 31 December 2013 largely due to the £2.0 billion increase in cash held with the central bank and       
    reduced central bank funding); Spain £5.0 billion (down from £6.5 billion); Italy £0.5 billion (broadly unchanged as assets fell and a central bank funding line was no longer used); and Portugal £0.5 billion (slightly up due to higher debt trading). The   
    net positions for Greece and Cyprus were minimal. Risks of eurozone break-up (redenomination events) have materially fallen since 2011-2012 owing to major improvements in liquidity conditions, driven by the availability of substantial new tools for the    
    ECB, the establishment of the European Stability Mechanism and member countries' progress on reducing imbalances.

These tables show RBS exposure, at 30 June 2014 and 31 December 2013 by country of operation of the counterparty, except
exposures to governments and individuals which are shown by country of residence. Balance sheet exposures are now shown net
of loan impairment provisions and prior period data are shown on the same basis. Countries shown are those where the
balance sheet exposure exceeded £1 billion and which had ratings of A+ or below from Standard and Poor's, Moody's or Fitch
at 30 June 2014, as well as selected eurozone countries. The exposures are stated before taking into account risk
mitigants, such as guarantees, insurance or collateral (with the exception of reverse repos). Exposures relating to
ocean-going vessels are not included as they cannot be meaningfully assigned to specific countries from a country risk
perspective.
