LONDON (Reuters) - Royal Bank of Scotland
The British newspaper said RBS is concerned it could receive a "double hit" of separate fines - one from the UK's Financial Services Authority and one from the U.S. authorities.
The bank had been hoping to agree a single collective deal, similar to the one agreed by Barclays
RBS said earlier this month that it wanted to settle with regulators as soon as possible, enabling the part-nationalized bank to draw a line under the affair and continue with the recovery plan being led by Chief Executive Stephen Hester.
Hester warned this month that the bank faces a "miserable day" when it is eventually punished and the danger of separate settlements is that the resulting negative publicity will be dragged out over a longer period of time.
Libor and other past mistakes are threatening to overshadow Hester's attempts to turn the bank around and get it into a shape that will make it possible for the government to start selling down the 81 percent stake which it acquired in rescuing the bank during the global financial crisis.
The bank was initially expected to settle the Libor case with regulators early in the fourth quarter. However, Reuters reported in October that a settlement had been delayed and was more likely at the end of 2012 or early next year because the authorities around the world were working to competing agendas and at different speeds.
The Sunday Telegraph reported that settlements could come as early as next month. Hester said this month that he expected details of a settlement to emerge between now and the bank's full year results next February.
RBS and the FSA declined to comment on the report.
More than a dozen banks are under investigation by regulators for suspected rigging of interbank rates used to price trillions of dollars worth of financial products.
