With a significant young population, changing spending patterns, advancements in e-banking services, and the emerging trend of online shopping, Vietnam has ample opportunities for card service providers. Vietnam's GDP recorded a growth rate of 5.4% in the third quarter of 2012, after an expansion of 4.7% in the second quarter and 4% in the first quarter. The country's GDP growth declined from 5.9% in 2011 to 5.0% in 2012, below the expected goals of 5.2% and 5.5% set by the government. One of the main reasons for GDP decline in 2012 in comparison with 2011 was the credit congestion situation which resulted in a strong decline in social investment capital and aggregate demand. In response to this, the government has taken steps to increase economic growth. In December 2012, the central bank lowered the minimum lending rate to 12%, and in September 2012 the government reduced corporate tax by 30% for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), except those operating in the lottery, real estate and securities sectors, and producers of goods that are subject to luxury taxes.

The non-life insurance segment in Armenia achieved significant growth at a CAGR of 35.4% during the review period. This was largely attributed to the absence of life insurance, and the introduction of compulsory third-party motor insurance in 2011. According to Armenian law, insurance providers are required to choose between life and non-life insurance. As a result, insurers which were previously registered to provide both life and non-life insurance left the life segment due to comparatively low demand and concentrated on the non-life segment. This, in conjunction with the introduction of compulsory third-party motor insurance in 2011, generated significant growth for non-life insurance. These factors are expected to support the growth of the segment over the forecast period.
