Summary
Czech GDP contracted by -4.51% in 2009, impacting the overall banking and financial services industry. The economy recovered in 2010 and 2011, but contracted again in 2012. However, it is expected to record robust growth over the forecast period, with real GDP growth rising from 1.48% in 2014 to 2.43% in 2018. Improved economic indicators, including GDP, rising per capita income and low inflation rates, are expected to support consumer confidence and increase spending, resulting in the increased scope of card-based transactions. This will be further supported by the rising online and mobile penetration, the emergence of EMV-enabled cards, and near field communication (NFC) technology. A number of innovations are taking place in the field of contactless payments and are being adopted by customers at a rapid rate.
