Agree impairment slashed and yet sp down????
Impairment charges - money put aside in case of defaulting loans - were also significantly reduced as the economy improved and the post-pandemic outlook appeared more stable compared with a year ago.
The charges for the quarter were just £100m compared with £2.1bn a year ago, although, unlike rivals NatWest and Lloyds, Barclays said it would not release the provisions just yet.
