LONDON, April 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
The global banking sector has been adapting to the new regulatory environment post the financial crisis of 2009. Earlier this year, though, the banking sector received some relief after regulators delayed the implementation of new liquidity rules by another four years. The delay has given banks such as Banco Santander S.A. (NYSE: SAN), Banco Bradesco SA (NYSE: BBD), National Bank of Greece (NYSE: NBG), UBS AG (NYSE: UBS), and HDFC Bank Limited (NYSE: HDB) additional time to strengthen their balance sheets. On Monday, banks' stocks struggled as the broad market slipped on the back of some disappointing economic data. StockCall has taken an interest in these companies and you can now sign up to download the free technical research on SAN, BBD, NBG, UBS, and HDB at
