One can find the RBS annual report at the link below:-[http://www.investors.rbs.com/report_subsidiary_results]

Some very salient information can be found in the 543 page annual report.

page 2: RBS has £42 billion Short-term wholesale funding 

page 24: We now hold £100 of deposits for every £103 we lend (thus more loans than deposits, and thus the need for the short term wholesale funding)

page 40: At 31 December 2012, HM Treasury’s holding in the company’s ordinary shares was 65.3% and its economic interest was 81.1%.

page 97: The Balance sheet is £1,312,295 million (£1.312 Trillion = £1,312 Billion)

Page 97: Loans and advances to customers £500,135 million (£500 Billion = £0.5 Trillion)

Page 97: Customers deposits £433,239 million (£433 Billion = £0.433 Trillion)

The UK 2012 GDP was £1,541,465 Million = £1,541 Billion = £1.541 Trillion

Thus The Royal Bank of Scotland’s assets = 85% of the UK 2012 GDP. The bank is massive.
