		<description><![CDATA[Foreign banks have been facing difficulties non-stop since the latest financial crisis, which triggered off as a credit issue in the sub-prime enclave of the U.S. mortgage market in mid-2007, and spilled all over the globe. The latest deterrents –– nagging macroeconomic issues, the European sovereign debt crisis in particular, and regulatory pressure –– also resulted in the sector’s latest under-performance. Moreover, the upcoming quarters look even worse with several negatives like asset-quality troubles, weak revenue growth, steeper costs and weak loan demand. But thanks to the worldwide regulatory reform, the sector has at least entered a transformation phase. Needless to mention, a change is yet to be felt. The sector entered 2012 with a lot less momentum than anticipated. Rising concerns related to funding and limited access to market ]]></description>

But thanks to the worldwide regulatory reform, the sector has at least entered a transformation phase. Needless to mention, a change has yet to be felt. Potential threats from a deeper European debt crisis and the uncertain outlook for the U.S. economy following the rating downgrades by Standard &#38; Poor’s (S&#38;P) were quite obvious and the sector entered the second half of 2011 with a lot less momentum than was anticipated.

		<description><![CDATA[The acquisition of Marshall &#38; Ilsley Corporation (MI) by Bank of Montreal (BMO) finally drew to a close on Tuesday, following BMO’s repayment of $1.715 billion of Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) money that M&#38;I had borrowed from the U.S. Treasury in 2008. Along with this repayment, which was a part of the acquisition deal, BMO also purchased $3.3 million worth of warrants that were issued to the U.S. Treasury by M&#38;I and paid $11.9 million as accrued dividends. The acquired M&#38;I offices (about 190 in total) would be renamed as BMO Harris Bank, after BMO integrates it with Chicago-based Harris Bank, which BMO owns. The integration will likely take nearly 18 months. Furthermore, M&#38;I’s Chairman and CEO, Mark Furlong, has been named as the president and CEO of BMO ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Backed by worldwide regulatory reform, the global banking industry is currently going through a transformation phase. Though the growth potential of some non-U.S. banks could be subdued due to higher reserve requirements, increased property taxes and strict lending limits as part of the regulatory overhaul, greater transparency in regulation could strengthen the fundamentals of many banks. Moreover, it is expected to create a less risky lane for the overall industry. Since 2010, the banking sector has been recovering at a moderate pace from the latest financial crisis that started as a credit issue in the subprime enclave of the U.S. mortgage market in mid-2007 and spilled all over the globe. Though the malice spread by the financial crisis is behind us, banks are now dealing with regulatory pressure as they ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yields on treasury bonds were expected to start trending up as the end point for the Fed&#8217;s $600 billion QE2 program came closer. The thinking was that as the Fed stopped buying these bonds, yields will have nowhere to go but up. This fairly plausible view, which has Pimco&#8217;s Bill Gross as one of its exponents, has failed to materialize thus far. With QE2 just days away from coming to a close, yields on the benchmark 10-year treasury bond are below 2.9%. Yields on the shorter maturity treasury bills are close to zero. This would mean that investors in treasury bills are not asking for anything in return for lending money to Uncle Sam. Given the deadlocked debt-ceiling negotiations in DC and Greece&#8217;s debt problems hogging headlines, is the bond ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Marshall &#38; Ilsley Corporation (MI) and Bank of Montreal (BMO) merger deal is right on track for completion, following the final regulatory approval on Tuesday. With this regulatory nod, the parties have finally garnered all necessary approvals required to complete the merger. With regard to this, BMO stated that its plan to proceed with common share offering to finance MI merger has been shelved because of its strong capital position. The deal is now expected to close on July 5. In May, the shareholders of MI approved the merger deal with BMO. The U.S. Treasury Department also provided a proxy giving their assent to the merger as it holds the Senior Preferred Stock of the company. MI’s merger with BMO, an all-stock transaction valued at $4.1 billion, was announced in ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the 10-year T-note yielding only 3.21%, investors interested in getting income from their investments are in sort of a tough place. Dividend-paying stocks are a very good place to look for a replacement. One thing you know for sure is that the coupon payment on a 10-year note is not going to rise. A yield of 3.21% does not offer much of a cushion against inflation. What is inflation likely to average over the next 10 years? I have no idea, but based on the spread between the regular 10-year note, and the 10-year TIPS, the market is implicitly expecting a rate of about 2.50%, which is pretty much in line with the historical experience (headline CPI) over the last 20 years of 2.57%. While core inflation is the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Marshall &#38; Ilsley Corporation’s (MI) first quarter 2011 loss of 27 cents per share exceeded the Zacks Consensus Estimated loss of 18 cents but was in line with the prior-year quarter result. M&#38;I’s results for the reported quarter suffered mainly due to lower net interest income and non-interest income. However, decrease in non-interest expenses and provision for loan and lease losses were the positives. Also, the company’s credit quality showed mixed results during the quarter. M&#38;I’s first quarter net loss came in at $142.0 million as against $140.5 million reported in the comparable period last year. Quarter in Detail M&#38;I’s total revenue for the reported quarter stood at $538.6 million, down 14.6% from $630.8 million in the year-ago quarter. Total revenue also missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $565.0 million. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Aided by worldwide regulatory reform, the global banking industry has reached a phase of a transformation in 2011. Since 2010, the industry has been recovering at a moderate pace from the worst financial crisis in history that started as a credit issue in the subprime enclave of the U.S. mortgage market in mid-2007 and spilled over to every corner of the globe. Though the malice spread by the financial crisis is behind us, banks are now dealing with regulatory pressures now that they have been rescued by taxpayers&#8217; money and government intervention. While non-U.S. banks are still facing liquidity and confidence challenges, government intervention to alleviate industry concerns have significantly raised political hurdles in the sector over time. Politics will continue to influence lending decisions of banks until they repay ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Friday, the tax package, which had been in news for past couple of weeks and often swayed the markets, was finally signed by the US President. However, markets closed ahead of the tax bill being turned into law and the indices ended almost flat. In addition, there were positive signs for the economy from Conference Board statements. But, the Euro-zone debt concern kept the investors jittery and avoided the markets to gain significantly. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 0.06% to close at 11,491. The S&#38;P 500 rose 0.08% to 1,243 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq was up 0.21%, to close at 2,642. The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) fell more than 7% to remain just above 16, reflecting a rise in investor confidence. On the New York Stock Exchange, ]]></description>

Of course though, the financial crisis and resulting recession altered all that. So by the end of the decade, that pecking order changed… a lot. Suddenly, a slew of Chinese and Brazilian banks had made the cut. For that matter, so had several Canadian financials Incorporatedluding the Royal Bank of Canada (NYSE: RY) and the Bank of Nova Scotia (NYSE: BNS).
