NatWest retail share offer

The government have announced plans to sell part of their NatWest shareholding. In this page we explain more about this potential opportunity.

What is the NatWest retail share offer?The offer will give investors a chance to buy shares, either from a company or the government direct.

Why now?

The plan to sell government shareholdings in NatWest was announced in the 2024 UK budget.

It’s possible that shares might be available at a discounted price, but that’s still to be confirmed.

When will the offer happen?

Following the chancellor’s announcement, it’s likely that the offer will be open this summer, depending on market conditions.

We don’t expect much notice and, once announced, it’s likely the offer won’t be available for long.

How to get involved.

We’re waiting for full details to be announced, including:

Who will be able to take part.
Any share purchasing limits.
Share prices.

We’ll keep this page updated as information is released, so please check back for more details.
