LONDON (Alliance News) - Barclays PLC Wednesday said it made an increased pretax profit for the third quarter, while also saying it has launched a review into its foreign-exchange trading over a period spanning several years in response to regulatory inquiries.
Barclays posted a GBP1.17 billion pretax profit in the third quarter, a substantial increase on the GBP91 million for the corresponding quarter in 2012.
The bank made a GBP2.85 billion pretax profit in the nine months to September 30, up from GBP962 million for the first nine months of the year in 2012.
