AMSTERDAM (Reuters) – Dutch bank ABN Amro beat analysts’ expectations on Wednesday, as it said net profit had more than doubled to 743 million euros ($747.98 million) in the third quarter, helped by rising interest rates and low impairments.
Analysts in a company-compiled poll on average had predicted net profit would fall to 323 million euros for the July-September period, down from 343 million a year ago.
