LONDON (Reuters) – Barclays (LON:BARC) said it expects to refile amended accounts with U.S. regulators by the end of May, paving the way to resume a 1 billion pound ($1.23 billion) buyback programme it had halted following a trading blunder earlier this year.

The bank disclosed earlier this year it had to re-file financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission, after it issued more structured notes than it was permitted in the United States.
