The short answer is yes, but growth rates vary by region (4.0% growth in North America, 5.9% in Asia Pacific, and a flat 0.4% in Europe. The long answer, well, you will have to read the reports! Here is a quick snippet from, IT Spending in Banking: A Global Perspective (published earlier this week):
Total bank IT spending across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific will grow to US$179.2 billion in 2013, an increase of approximately 3.4% over 2012. This slight upward shift is an encouraging indicator of future growth; however, regional nuances cannot be ignored.We have published a series of six reports this month that are relevant to all organizations: Happy reading!
