The bank said that operating performance in many of its businesses were good in the first half of the year despite being "held back by the effects of the continuing deterioration in credit markets".

RBS said, "Overall, the group's underlying results, excluding write-downs on credit market exposures, are expected to remain satisfactory."

In April of this year RBS announced £5.9 billion in write-downs resulting from the credit crunch. Last week the bank completed a record £12 billion rights issue in order to shore up its capital.
