		<description><![CDATA[A major recovery in the asset markets, improving balance sheets and declining credit costs promise growth for the U.S. banking sector. Yet, the outlook for the industry remains in question due to several negatives, including asset-quality troubles, the continuation of both residential and commercial real estate loan defaults, weak loan demand, and the impact of tighter regulations and policy changes. After enduring overwhelming recessionary shocks, the U.S. banking industry is now slowly recovering. 2010 can be certainly characterized as a year of reform. Financial support from the U.S. government ultimately transformed to comparative stability during the year. The government had taken several steps, including programs offering capital injections and debt guarantees, to stabilize the financial system. Also, the banks are working hard to address problem credit, primarily in residential and ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[According to a top Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) watchdog, the Treasury still has the capacity to spend $60 billion of taxpayers’ money for TARP to support housing and other programs, MarketWatch reported today. The program was initiated two years ago to rescue the nation’s financial industry. Considering the success of the program, it should not be a concern if the Treasury drains its TARP account. Moreover, this investment might even earn a decent profit like other investments under TARP. Looking back at a calculation released by the Treasury last month, TARP will finally earn about $23.6 billion by 2013. Considering the effectiveness in easing credit and capital market pressure, restoring confidence in the financial system, and recovering the injected money at a lower-than-expected cost, it can be concluded that ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[SunTrust Banks Inc. (STI) said on Wednesday that it has repaid the entire $4.85 billion in bailout money it had received from the government for its participation in the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). SunTrust financed its TARP repayment primarily through proceeds from a $1.04 billion stock offering and $1 billion debt offering that it completed last week. The company funded the remaining dues from its available cash. Following the release of the Federal Reserve’s much-awaited stress test results earlier this month, SunTrust received the authorization to raise capital. SunTrustis one of the three banks that repaid the total $7.4 billion of TARP funds on Wednesday. With this repayment, the bank bailout swung into profit. Out of the total $700 billion bailout money, about $245 billion was handed out to ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[KeyCorp (KEY) became one of the latest three banks to repay its bailout money. The company has fully repaid its $2.5 billion in outstanding Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) funds on Wednesday. KeyCorp’s repayment was financed by proceeds from the recent $625 million common equity offerings and $1 billion debt offerings, in addition to other funds from available resources. Following the approval from the Federal Reserve earlier in the month, the company had announced the pricing of its public offerings of 70,621,470 shares of its common stock at a price of $8.85 per share. KeyCorp repurchased all 25,000 shares of its Fixed-Rate Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B, which were originally issued in December 2008 under TARP’s Capital Purchase Program. In all, the company paid approximately $297 million in dividends and ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ally Financial, the former finance unit of General Motors (GM), filed for an initial public offering (IPO) on Thursday. This will allow the bailed-out auto and mortgage lender to repay its dues to the Treasury. During the height of the financial crisis in 2008 and 2009, Ally Financial received more than $17 billion by way of bailout money in several transactions as part of its participation in the government’s $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). The U.S. Treasury now owns a 73.8% stake in the company. The Treasury obtained this stake after the company, formerly known as GMAC Inc., almost collapsed. With the IPO, the Treasury will be able redeem its holding in Ally Financial. The move will also take the Treasury a step forward toward achieving the ultimate ]]></description>
