French bank BNP Paribas said on Wednesday it has completed restructuring kicked off last year to meet Europe's new banking rules and that an increase in investment-banking revenue contributed to a jump in third-quarter net profit.

France's largest listed bank said third-quarter net profit rose to €1.32bn, from €541m in the same quarter last year, which included a €2.14bn write down of the value of its Greek sovereign debt. Analysts had expected net profit of €1.25bn.
