		<description><![CDATA[On Thursday, the House of Representatives approved a bill that would effectively eliminate the role of private lenders in the student loan market and establish the government as the sole lender of student loans under a program run by the US Education department. The bill, which was passed with a 253-171 vote, will now be reviewed by the Senate. If enacted, the bill would put an end to the Federal Family Education Loan Program and severely impact banks, particularly student lender SLM Corp. or Sallie Mae (SLM). Besides Sallie Mae, other companies who could be at risk under the new legislation are Student Loan Corp. (STU), Nelnet Inc. (NNI), ITT Educational Services (ESI), SunTrust Banks (STI) and Corinthian Colleges Inc. (COCO). According to the Congressional Budget office, this bill would ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The corporate ratings of student lender SLM Corp. or Sallie Mae (SLM) was downgraded by Fitch Ratings yesterday. The outlook assigned was negative. The ratings downgrade reflects the agency’s concern about the company’s business model. Fitch expects the company to continue to shift to a fee-for-service business model with its subsidiary Sallie Mae Bank originating higher-risk private education loans. Fitch downgraded the long-term issuer default and senior debt ratings to &#8220;BBB-&#8221; from &#8220;BBB&#8221;, while preferred stock was downgraded to &#8220;BB&#8221; from &#8220;BB+&#8221;. The short-term issuer default rating and short-term debt ratings were affirmed at &#8220;F3&#8243;. About $34.4 billion of debt and preferred stock is affected by these actions. To restore the $92 billion student loan market, the House Education committee approved a legislation, which closes the Federal Family Education Loan ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The worst of the credit crisis is now probably behind us, but the banking system is not yet out of the woods, as there are still many significant challenges ahead. Ten of the nation&#8217;s largest banks have received the Treasury approval for TARP repayment, as they are now able to tap the debt markets without FDIC&#8217;s support and also access the equity markets as the investor confidence returns in the stronger banks. While the bigger banks have benefited a lot from the various programs launched by the Federal Reserve, the Treasury and the FDIC, and are now in a much better shape, many smaller banks are still in a very weak financial state, and the FDIC&#8217;s list of problem banks continues to grow.
