Information technology spending by North American financial institutions is on the rise after two challenging years, according to a new report from Celent.

The Boston-based financial research and consulting firm said information it gathered from banks across the continent drove its prediction that IT spending will grow from $51.4 billion last year to $53.4 billion this year. Another 4.6% increase to $55.9 billion is expected in 2012, extending to $58.3 billion in 2013, Celent said.
