Barclays reports profits of £4.54bn for first nine months of 2009
BARCLAYS said today that it had delivered third-quarter profits of £1.56 billion after another strong performance from its investment banking business.
The haul took profits for the first nine months of the year to £4.54 billion, down 19% on a year earlier.
But Barclays said the result more than doubled on an underlying basis as it enjoyed "consistent profitability" so far in 2009.
