MasterCard sees strong growth

The Central and Eastern European markets, Romania included, will continue to see increasingly more credit cards issued in the next few years, with the trading volume set to increase as well, since the cards industry is still very young in these countries. According to MasterCard International officials, this growth will also have to be supported by the local authorities, which should promote card payments more, but also by the banks, which will have to adjust their offer of products and services to the market demands.
