RBS model change loads on credit RWAs

RBS's total RWAs increase for the first time since 2015

Changes to loss given default models cost RBS £4.6 billion ($6.3 billion) in higher credit risk-weighted assets in the first three months of the year.

Revisions to LGD models for UK mid-corporate and quasi-government portfolios pushed credit RWAs 0.5% higher to £145.4 billion quarter-on-quarter.
