Economics - RBS: Inside The Bank That Ran Out Of Money
Description
The Royal Bank of Scotland was once a famous Scottish institution a bank with a reputation for prudence.
But in October 2008, less than a decade after Fred Goodwin took over as chief executive, it came within hours of collapsing.
RBS later posted the biggest loss in UK corporate history - 24 billion pounds - which damaged the banks reputation for financial prudence and Scotlands image as a global financial center.
Using previously unbroadcast footage of the banks top executives and interviews with bank insiders, this documentary tells the compelling story of a national catastrophe.
