Lease 2019 will be a meeting place for all market players, such as companies, intermediaries, suppliers, prospects, private citizens and consultants, in order to analyse currents trends of a growing market sector. Compared to the previous year the leasing market closed 2018 with a growth of 5.3% in terms of value and 2.7% in terms of contracts concluded, which exceeded 724,000. The weight of leasing on investments increased from 12.6% to 16.3% in the 2012-2018 five-year period.
20% of the leased loans were made by innovative companies participating in the Business Plan 4.0. The monthly dynamics of leasing bookings 4.0 were very positive, growing until July – in terms of both numbers and stipulated values – with positive peaks in September and October. At the end of the year funds were exhausted.
