The Federal Reserve’s aggressive interest rate hikes since last year to control inflation put immense pressure on the U.S. banking system, leading to the failure of three large regional banks earlier this year. These bank failures were the biggest since the global financial crisis of 2008.

Amid this backdrop, it could be wise to add fundamentally strong foreign bank stocks Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft (DB), Erste Group Bank AG (EBKDY), and Woori Financial Group Inc. (WF) to one’s watchlist.
