Summary
In terms of card in circulation, Croatia’s card payments channel recorded a CAGR of 4.13 % during
the review period (2008–2012). The total number of cards in circulation grew from 9.2 million in 2008
to 10.8 million cards in 2012. Over the forecast period (2013–2017), the number is forecast to record a
CAGR of 3.47%, rising from 11.3 million cards in 2013 to 13.0 million in 2017. Croatia’s economy is
based largely on service sectors such as banking, trade and tourism, which collectedly account for nearly 70%
of real gross domestic product (GDP) in the country. In 2009, Croatia’s overall economic activity
decelerated due to the global financial crisis which adversely impacted banking, tourism, exports and foreign
direct investment (FDI). Croatia will join the European Union (EU) on July 1, 2013, and the country will
receive the equivalent of nearly 4% of its total GDP through the EU Cohesion Policy. This financial aid is
expected to bring stability and investment to the country’s economy over the forecast period, creating a
healthy and favorable climate for the cards and payments industry.

2. in 2012. Over the forecast period, the figure is projected reach 1.9 cards per person. In September 2012, OTP
Banka in association with MasterCard PayPass launched contactless payments for low-value transactions up to

increased marginally, from 3,342 in 2008 to 4,144 in 2012, at a CAGR of 1.06%. The increasing acceptance of

CAGR of 7.59% during the review period, rising from 79,994 in 2008 to 107,171 in 2012. With further
