LONDON (Reuters) – Barclays (LON:BARC) has temporarily halted market making in its own debt securities following a trading blunder, the British bank said on Friday.

Barclays disclosed on March 28 that it had exceeded a U.S. limit on sales of structured products, triggering a loss and a potential restatement of its 2021 accounts.

“Barclays will continue to evaluate the extent to which it can resume market making in any such individual security,” the bank said on Friday.
