NR also draws significant advantages from the commitment of HMT to FSA that it will operate above capital requirements (measure (v)) since, as a result, the FSA: (1) did not require NR to be recapitalised after nationalisation, (2) allowed NR to include Tier-2 capital in its regulatory capital position in June 2008 and (3) has subsequently allowed it to operate below regulatory capital requirements from July 2009 onwards until the split-up.

This is furthermore evidenced by the waivers obtained by NR from the FSA, firstly to include all its Tier-2 capital to its regulatory capital position and subsequently to operate below regulatory capital requirements.
