Barclays profit surges as investment banking offsets £1.1bn of bad debts
Banking giant Barclays has revealed half-year profits jumped by nearly a quarter as an investment banking boost helped offset more than £1 billion set aside for bad debts. The high street lender reported a 23% rise in pre-tax profits to £5.2 billion for the six months to June 30. It booked credit impairment charges of £1.1 billion, up from £897 million a year earlier, after putting by another £469 million in the second quarter. The bank said the rise was largely due to its takeover of Tesco Bank and a more uncertain economic outlook, especially in the US. Its results were better than expected for the second quarter, with profits up 28% to £2.5 billion thanks to forecast beating revenues in its investment banking arm amid market volatility. Group chief executive CS Venkatakrishnan, who is also known as Venkat, said: 'We remain on track to achieve the objectives of our three-year plan, delivering structurally higher and more stable returns for our investors.' Barclays unveiled more returns for investors, with plans for another £1 billion in share buybacks, and said it has cut around £350 million of costs out of the £500 million in savings planned for 2025.

Wikifarmer Launches UK Operations to Transform Olive Oil Sourcing for British Businesses
LONDON, July 29, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Wikifarmer, the Athens and Seville-based online agricultural marketplace, is launching UK operations to connect British businesses directly with Mediterranean olive oil producers. With Spanish olive oil prices down 53% year-over-year to €3.55/kg¹, this expansion targets Britain's £320 million olive oil market², projected to reach $1.55 billion by 2030⁶. Direct Access. Lower Costs. Greater Transparency. Wikifarmer's platform connects businesses directly with verified Mediterranean producers, eliminating intermediaries to provide transparent pricing, reliable logistics, and flexible credit terms with no subscription fees. The free-to-use model has connected over 7,000 buyers with 15,000 suppliers, facilitating millions in direct trade transactions. "The UK represents a massive opportunity to revolutionize how British businesses source Mediterranean olive oil," says Wikifarmer Co-Founder and CEO, Ilias Sousis. "We offer buyers direct access to quality European producers with the reliability and support they demand." Meeting UK Market Needs British businesses faced olive oil import price increases of 44% in 2024 while dealing with supply chain uncertainties. "Our platform offers free access to quality European producers, with no hidden charges," says Sam Frearson, UK Sales Manager. The UK's £128 billion food and agriculture sector¹¹ relies on traditional supply chains with multiple intermediaries, driving up costs and reducing transparency. Spain supplies 62% of UK olive oil imports, Italy 26%⁴, but most trade passes through costly middlemen. UK olive oil import values rose 31.7% to £333.2 million in 2023⁸, with olive oil comprising 87.1% of Britain's olive market⁷. Recent recovery in global production and a 13.9% drop in EU prices signal market stabilization¹⁰, making now ideal for direct sourcing. Expansion Plans The UK team will focus on onboarding buyers in wholesale, hospitality, retail, and food processing. This expansion advances Wikifarmer's vision to create a digital marketplace connecting farmers directly with buyers, eliminating intermediaries for fair, transparent trade. The company plans further European expansion throughout 2025. About Wikifarmer Wikifarmer ( combines the world's largest agricultural knowledge library with an online B2B marketplace.

Barclays posts profit beat and announces £1bn share buyback
Barclays (BARC.L) beat profit expectations in the second quarter and announced a further £1bn in share buybacks. Pre-tax profit rose 28% in the second quarter to £2.84bn, results released on Tuesday showed. That exceeded expectations of £2.24bn, according to consensus estimates provided by the bank. For the first half, profit before tax totalled £5.2bn, which was up 23% from the same period last year. Total income was up 14% in the second quarter at £7.19bn, which was also ahead of expectations of £7.01bn. Group net interest income — the gap between what the bank pays out to savers and receives from borrowers in interest — excluding Barclays Investment Bank and head office, came in at £3.1bn, up 13% year-on-year. Barclays also recorded a return on tangible equity — a key measure of profitability — of 12.3% in the second quarter, up from 9.9% for the same period in 2024. The bank announced a further share buyback of £1bn and a half-year dividend of 3p per share. This came after Barclays said on Friday that it had completed the £1bn share buyback programme it announced in its full-year results in February. Barclays CEO CS Venkatakrishnan, known as Venkat, said: "We remain on track to achieve the objectives of our three-year plan, delivering structurally higher and more stable returns for our investors.

The bank had posted a stronger-than-expected 19% rise in first-quarter profits in results released at the end of April, as improved performance in its investment banking division helped the UK lender outpace analyst forecasts.

Group revenues reached £7.7bn, also ahead of the consensus estimate of £7.33bn.
