Leaseurope Index
The Leaseurope Index is a unique quarterly survey of European leasing companies tracking financial KPIs in addition to volumes and portfolios.
Quarterly survey
The Leaseurope Index Quarterly survey tracks aggregate European level financial performance indicators four times per year, providing an up-to-date look at the financial health of the leasing sector in Europe.
Segment survey
In addition to the regular quarterly report, Leaseurope publishes a more detailed supplement, namely the Segment Survey. This annual report shows aggregate financial KPI ratios for each of four asset types, namely equipment, real estate, passenger cars and commercial vehicles.
View from the industry
İhsan Çakır, CEO of ING Lease commented
“Economic headwinds continued to challenge the European leasing industry in the third quarter of 2023. However, European lessors managed to expand their portfolios while controlling operating costs. Looking ahead to 2024, another year of subdued macro-economic growth is expected. However, as the effects of the central banks’ monetary tightening are continuing to unfold, the disinflation will trigger rate cuts, thereby supporting a gradual recovery in the second half of 2024. Expansionary investment is likely to be put on hold in the first half of the year on the back of low-capacity utilisation. Nonetheless, the clear push for sustainable investments will continue as the demand for more energy-efficient assets becomes more pronounced by both businesses and regulators. Therefore, it will be essential for European lessors to maximize our internal strengths, minimize the impact of external challenges, and continue supporting European businesses, especially SMEs, during this crucial green transitional period.”
About the Leaseurope Index
The Leaseurope Index is the only survey that tracks trends in key performance indicators for the leasing sector at European level. A representative sample of large pan-European leasing companies report their figures for each indicator to Leaseurope, which aggregates the results on a confidential basis. Due to the aggregate nature, no inferences can be made about any individual company’s performance based on published data. The sample represents a significant share of the total European leasing market and is broadly representitive in terms of geographic and asset coverage, including general leasing companies, automotive lessors, captive equipment vendors etc.
