Sweden has an export-oriented economy, and according to the World Economic Forum (WEF), it ranks as the sixth-most-competitive economy in the world 2013−2014. Sweden is moving fast towards being an electronic and cashless economy. In terms of the number of cards in circulation, its card payments channel posted a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.99% during the review period (2008−2012). This somewhat slow growth was mainly due to the debt crises in the eurozone. The overall card payments channel is expected to post a CAGR of 2.16% over the forecast period (2013−2017).
During the review period, debit cards occupied the largest share of the payments channel, posting a CAGR of 3.04%. The debit cards category is expected to post a forecast-period CAGR of 3.00%, while credit cards are expected to account for a CAGR of 1.09%.
