NEW YORK, 30 Oct. - (ANA) - The e-commerce giant Amazon has revealed a 200% leap in profits as sales climbed by 37% in the third quarter of the year to $96.1 billion (£74.3 billion). 

 

Profits also rose, from $2.1 billion to $6.3 billion. 

 

However, the company forecast a slowdown in growth in the next quarter, predicting that most of its profits over the Christmas period would be wiped out by $4 billion of warehouse safety costs related to Covid-19.  - (ANA) -
