IT Spending in Financial Services: A Global Perspective
Abstract
Celent aggregates financial services IT spending trends across regions, across industry verticals, and around the world.
In a new report, , Celent analyzes IT spending trends across different industry verticals (banking, insurance, and securities and investments) and different regions (North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region), in addition to an overview of Latin America and Africa. The prime focus of the report is to compare and contrast the direction of IT spending trends among financial services institutions.
Celent estimates that global information technology spending by financial services institutions will reach US$342.1 billion in 2007. This represents an increase of 5.9% over 2006. This figure is substantially lower than the 8.7% growth achieved in 2006. Although the next couple of years may be challenging, Celent expects global spending on IT products and services to grow to US$386.7 billion by 2009, representing a CAGR of 6.3% from 2007 to 2009.
