Indonesian Islamic Banking Gaining from Financial Crisis
|
|
|
According to a recent research report “Indonesian Islamic Banking Outlook to 2013” by RNCOS, a leading research firm, with low penetration and growing interest of conventional banks into Sharia-compliant banking services (Islamic banking), the Islamic banking industry (in terms of assets) in Indonesia would continue to grow at a CAGR of over 50% between 2009 and 2012.
As per the research, Islamic banking in Indonesia is at its early stages of developments. It still makes up just about 2% of conventional banking system in the country. However, Bank of Indonesia (central bank) has set a target to push it to 5% by 2010 end. Thus, the country provides ample opportunities for new entrants in the system. Recently, two more conventional banks have converted into Islamic banks, BRI Syariah and Bukopin Syariah. Further, the industry expects at least five more by 2009 end - Panin-Hafra, BCA-UIC, Victoria, Maybank Indonesia and BNI Syariah.
The report also noted that the financial crisis has had no negative impact on the development of Sharia banking in the country. While the conventional financial system is reeling under the pressure of global financial crisis, the Sharia banking industry of Indonesia is benefitting from it and expects to continue its fast-paced growth in the years to come. This optimistic view is based on its very nature (avoid involvement of interest rates), and a healthy growth in lending in the recent months despite financial crisis.
“Indonesian Islamic Banking Outlook to 2013” provides a comprehensive research and prudent analysis on the Islamic banking in Indonesia. This extensive research will help the clients to identify the market trends and evaluate the leading-edge opportunities critical to the success of the Islamic banking market in the country. This study gives an overview on the various factors driving the banking industry, together with the forces that are blocking the growth of the industry.
This research supplements the past and current information on the Indonesia Islamic banking market with forecast on various important industry aspects, including Muslim population, disposable income, Sharia financing and deposits.

M-Banking Expanding Indian Banks’ Operations in Remote Areas
|
|
|
According to our new research report “Indian Banking Sector Forecast to 2012”, India’s demographic profile along with rising mobile subscriber base will make mobile transactions popular among bank customers in coming years. Majority of the Indian population is below 35 years of age and the most technology savvy among all age groups. This segment is expected to account for more than 50% of total mobile banking transactions, with continuous rise in years to come.
Mobile banking will enable banks to offer services to customers even in remote areas without having the branch network. Public sector banks are dominating the rural market, but the scenario is anticipated to change when the mobile based banking services would be launched at commercial scale.
Moreover, customers have been migrating from branch banking to the host of non-branch channels like ATMs, call centre and internet banking. With the launch of mobile banking, all Internet banking transactions can be performed on mobile phones. Customers can now transfer funds to bank accounts, pay their utility bills and do several other operations from their mobile phones.
Although the mobile banking market in India is in its nascent stage of development, there are ample growth opportunities due to large consumer base and tendency to adapt new technology services easily. It is expected that the mobile banking industry will see significant transformation once banks, cellular operators and payment service providers commercialize their services.
“Indian Banking Sector Forecast to 2012” provides comprehensive research and rational analysis on various segments, like assets size, income level and number of cardholders, in the Indian banking industry. It also studies the current performance and growth opportunities that help clients to understand various products available in the market and their future scope.

RNCOS Releases a New Report- Global Credit Card Industry - Emerging Markets
|
|
|
RNCOS has recently added a new Market Research Report titled, “Global Credit Card Industry - Emerging Markets” to its report gallery. Our new research report, “Global Credit Card Industry - Emerging Markets”, states that with changing consumer spending patterns, the credit card market in emerging economies has expanded rapidly in recent years. For instance, between 2004 and 2007, the number of credit cards in Brazil and Mexico more than doubled, while the number of cards in circulation in Poland tripled.
Outstanding credit card debt in India tripled over the same period. In China, growth in the number of credit cards averaged just over 23% from 2004 to 2007, and then surged to nearly 93% in the first half of 2008.
We strongly believe that this growth trend will continue in near future as well, with a small deceleration in effect of global financial turmoil and credit squeeze. Bankers will also be a little more conscious while doing risk evaluation of credit card applicants. But the overall trend will remain positive.
The baseline for this optimistic future outlook is that governments in most of the emerging countries are encouraging credit cards usage to cut the operating cost and to avoid tax delinquencies. Consumers also prefer use of credit cards as they are safer to carry and provide credit facility as well. Beside this, there are many other benefits like reward points and discounts by merchants as well as bankers which lure customers to shop by credit cards.
This report provides extensive research and in-depth analysis on the emerging credit card markets. It will help clients to analyze the leading-edge opportunities critical to the success of emerging credit card markets. Detailed data and analysis will help the players to navigate through the evolving credit card markets in the world.
Our research provides forecast on
- Number of credit cards in China, 2008 & 2012
- Credit cards purchases in India, 2008-09 to 2011-12
- Credit cards spending in South Korea, 2008-2012
- Number of credit cards in Russia, 2008-2012
- Number of credit cards in Poland, 2008-2012
- Consumer spending via credit cards in Brazil, 2008-2012

Low Penetration to Drive Chinese Credit Card Market
|
|
|
Chinese credit card market has grown at a rapid pace over the past few years on account of robust economic growth, rising income levels, growing middle class population and most importantly government initiatives. The total number of credit cards in circulation climbed to an estimated 150 Million by the end of 2008. Considering the current market turmoil, the credit card market in China is projected to grow at a CAGR of more than 28% by 2013, according to our new research report, “China Credit Card Market Outlook to 2013”.
However, the projected growth is almost half to the growth of more than 50% recorded during 2008 due to tight financial policies and job cuts. Despite this, low credit card penetration in China will be the major factor for future growth in credit cards, says the report. With over 1.3 Billion population base, credit card penetration stood at just over 11% at the end of 2008. In contrast, debit card penetration was clocked at over 100% with one people estimated to have more than one debit card. Huge gap between debit card and credit card penetration represents tremendous growth potential in the Chinese credit card market.
If we look at the credit card penetration at geographical level, most of the credit card usage is concentrated to the big cities like Shanghai and Beijing having majority of urban population. Semi-urban and rural areas still remain untapped, implying that the country offers immense opportunities to credit card players to exploit the untapped areas.
“China Credit Card Market Outlook to 2013” provides extensive research and rationale analysis on the credit card industry in China. The report thoroughly studies the current industry trends to facilitate clients to evaluate growth opportunities in credit card industry. Forecast in this research has been made considering the possible impact of recession on the industry. In this regard, the report will help clients to have proper insight of the current and the future outlook of credit cards market in China.
