Earlier in2007, it invested$ 3 billion in Barclays PLC to help support the British bank's ultimately unsuccessful bid for ABN Amro Holding NV.

2007年初该行向巴克莱银行（Barclays Bank PLC）投资30亿美元，协助后者竞购荷兰银行控股公司（ABN AMRO Holding N.V.），不过巴克莱在这场竞标中最终功亏一篑。

Barclays PLC, the large British bank, last month reported a 10% rise in profits for the first half of 2009 compared with the year-earlier period, to GBP 1.9 billion ($ 3.1 billion).

巴克莱银行（Barclays Bank PLC）及汇丰控股（HSBC Holdings）等银行的股票也未能幸免，只不过它们的跌幅较小。
