Top Dutch bank ING post three-fold jump in 2015 profit

Top Dutch bank ING more than tripled its profit last year on the back of a recovering economy and an increase in lending, it said on Thursday. In 2014 ING saw profits plunge by 64 percent because of a major restructuring. ING's shares bounced up 8.0 percent to 10.45 euros in mid-morning trade on the Amsterdam stock exchange's AEX index following the announcement.
