Business Environment

Financial services institutions globally have spent heavily on IT for many years. In the fast-paced, competitive financial services industry, companies are increasingly relying on flexible and reliable IT infrastructure to gain competitive advantages. According to IDC, global banking and insurance IT spending reached $124.9 billion and $43.8 billion, respectively, in 2006 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate, or CAGR, of 6.4% and 5.6%, respectively, to reach $170.7 billion and $57.5 billion, respectively, in 2011.

China’s economy has grown rapidly since the Chinese government adopted extensive national reform programs to create an open economy in the late 1970s and early 1980s. These reforms are focused on, among other things, transforming China’s centrally planned economy to a more market-oriented economy and enhancing the competitiveness of Chinese enterprises. As a result of these economic reforms, particularly following China’s accession to the World Trade Organization, or WTO, China’s economy has demonstrated strong growth.

China’s insurance market is one of the fastest growing insurance markets in the world. With improved living standards, higher disposable incomes and greater awareness about insurance products, personal insurance and property insurance premium revenues have been increasing in China. New growth areas, such as agricultural, enterprise annuity, healthcare, and liability insurance, also demonstrate strong growth momentum.
