Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.ABN Amro Hoare Govett, the London investment banking arm of the Dutch bank, increased revenue in the first half by 65 per cent over the period a year ago, Hoare Govett chief executive Nick Bannister said. Its parent bank expects net profit in the second half of 1996 to be ahead of a year earlier but below the 36 per cent achieved in the first half of 1996.
ABN Amro reported a first-half net profit of 1.70bn guilders ($1.02bn), up from 1.24bn guilders a year earlier. Mr Bannister said the first-half performance of Hoare Govett was "substantially ahead of budget" but declined to give specific figures. However, he also said he expected this year's second half would be more difficult than the first.
