EDINBURGH-based Royal Bank of Scotland is set to give up its listing on the Euronext stock exchange.

The taxpayer-owned bank said: "The reasons for the Company's request to de-list in Amsterdam include the low trading volumes in the Company's Ordinary Shares on EuronextAmsterdam." The expected date for the effective cancellation of the listing will be 17 April 2015. The last trading date on Euronext Amsterdam will be 16 April 2015. The bank's Ordinary Shares will remain listed on the London Stock Exchange and in American Despository Receipt form on the New York Stock Exchange. Royal Bank listed on Euronext in 2007 under the leadership of Fred Goodwin after it acquired Dutch giant ABN Amro in a consortium.
