Zara owner Inditex has revealed a jump in first-half profits and a strong start to its third quarter despite searing heatwaves across many of its markets.
The Spanish group – which also owns brands including Bershka, Pull & Bear and Stradivarius – reported a 7% rise in pre-tax profits to 3.85 billion euros (£3.3 billion) for the six months to July 31.
