		<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[We are maintaining our Neutral recommendation on ICICI Bank Limited (IBN). Though we are concerned about ICICI’s highly competitive operating environment and below-average credit quality, we anticipate continued synergies from the company’s increased dependence on domestic loans, an almost stable funding base and market leadership in the insurance business. ICICI Bank’s fiscal first quarter 2012 (ended June 30, 2011) profit came in at INR13.32 billion (US$298 million), up 29.8% from INR10.26 billion (US$230 million) in the year-ago quarter. Improved results were primarily driven by higher net interest and fee incomes, and a substantial decline in loan loss provisions. However, higher operating expenses and lower other non-interest income were the headwinds. Asset quality continued to show signs of betterment and capital ratios remained strong during the quarter. Though ICICI still has ]]></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.

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.

		<description><![CDATA[The global banking industry has been recovering at a slow pace from the worst financial crisis that started as a credit issue in the subprime segment of the U.S. mortgage market in mid-2007 and spilled over to Europe and other economies. Though the worst of the financial crisis is behind us, there remain major challenges following the intervention of governments to rescue and stabilize the global banking system. Although non-U.S. banks are still dealing with liquidity and confidence challenges, governments have taken several steps to alleviate the sector, as banks are the lifeblood of the economy. Consequently, political interference in the sector has increased significantly over time, which has added to existing financial risks. Politics will continue to influence the banks’ lending decisions until they repay the government money. According ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The global banking industry has been recovering at a slower pace from the worst downturn since the Great Depression that started as a credit issue in the subprime segment of the U.S. mortgage market and ultimately spread to engulf almost the entire global financial services industry. Though the worst of the financial crisis is behind us, there remain major political challenges following the intervention of governments to rescue and stabilize the global banking system. Although non-U.S. banks are still dealing with liquidity and confidence challenges, governments have taken several steps to alleviate the sector, as banks are the lifeblood of the economy. Consequently, the political interference in the sector has increased significantly over time. The politicization has added to the existing financial risks that banks face. The political interference will ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The American press didn’t really cover the recent, major deal in the global insurance industry. But just because they didn’t pay it any attention, doesn’t mean that you should ignore it too… It indicates one very profitable opportunity you won’t want to miss out on. British insurance firm Prudential Insurance ADR (NYSE: PUK) offered $35.5 billion to purchase the Asian arm of American International Group (NYSE: AIG). That branch, called AIA, is the leading pan-Asian foreign insurer. It carries 33 million policyholders across 13 countries, employs about 250,000 sales agents and makes annual operating profits of around $2 billion. The current deal calls for Prudential to pay AIG $25 billion in cash, $5.5 billion in stock, $3 billion in mandatory convertible notes and another $2 billion in preferred stock. And ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ICICI Bank Limited’s (IBN) 2010 fiscal third quarter (ended December 31) net earnings rose 6% sequentially to INR11.01 billion (US$237 million). The results were primarily driven by a decrease in loss provisions and reduced operating expenses. However, net earnings of ICICI Bank were down 13% on a year-over-year basis, primarily due to the absence of treasury income in the reported quarter compared to a treasury income of INR9.76 billion (US$210 million) in the year-ago quarter. This was mainly due to an increase in yields on government securities in the reported quarter compared to a decline in yields in the year-ago quarter. ICICI Bank’s asset quality improved slightly as the bank’s net non-performing asset ratio was at 2.19%, the same level as of Sep 30, 2009. Besides, there was a 6% ]]></description>
