Barclays (BCS) has reserved 228 million British pounds ($307.9 million) in Q1 to cover the collapse of specialty lender MFS, Bloomberg reported Tuesday, citing a person familiar with the matter.
The company said in a regulatory filing that its Q1 credit impairment charges increased to 823 million pounds, up from 643 million pounds a year earlier, in an increase "primarily driven by a single name charge of 228 million pounds."
Barclays didn't immediately reply to MT Newswires' request for comment.
