Czech arm of UniCredit Leasing expecting slowdown
Despite solid growth last year and rising market demand for the leasing of vehicles, UniCredits Czech asset finance arm predicts a slowdown in new business during 2008. New volume are expected to grow by 10 per cent, according to Jiri Matula, general manager of UniCredit Leasing (Czech Republic), against increases of just under double that last year. The company is gaining ground with a 11.5 per cent share of the transport market totalling CZK 13.8bn (0.5bn) worth of receivables, and last year moved from fifth to fourth position in real estate leasing after growing by a whopping 71.4 per cent

St Helen's optimistic despite bad debt increases
However, the City London-based lessor still has a long way to go with its latest financial statement for year end 2007 revealing an increase in total losses, mainly from bad debt, of £312,391, up from £168,000 in 2006. Nonetheless its managing director, Norman Kenvyn, is optimistic about future prospects saying that the current economic uncertainties will undoubtedly present the company with greater new business opportunities as traditional lenders to SMEs start to tighten available facilities
HSBC AF largely unconcerned by credit crunch
Despite many banks having been forced to downsize their lending capacity due to the current economic crisis, the UK asset finance arm of HSBC does not expect any major change in its credit policy. Given that we have a strong capital base at HSBC we are reasonably immune to funding issues that are affecting the independents and the larger banks that dont have a stable capital base, Derren Sanders, head of leasing at HSBC, said
