		<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>

		<description><![CDATA[The global banking industry is still a sorry sight, and its near term looks 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 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. 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 ]]></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.

		<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.

		<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.

		<description><![CDATA[Starting as a credit issue in the subprime segment of the U.S. mortgage market, the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression has now spread to almost the entire global financial services industry. However, we believe that the worst of the global financial crisis is behind us. 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. Though the industry is in the process of adopting tougher measures to help prevent a recurrence of the global financial crisis and restore public confidence, there remain lingering concerns. However, we believe it would be a perfect time to get involved with non-U.S. bank stocks for long-term investments, as valuations are now comparatively cheaper. Investors ]]></description>

The Fed&#8217;s periodic report proclaimed, &#8220;Economic activity continued to stabilize in July and August.&#8221; This statement confirmed the data provided by several other reports. Overall, the tone of the report is that the U.S. economy has already hit bottom and is starting to climb its way out of a deep hole.
