European lessors are more positive about the future than they
were six months ago, a new 13-country survey has revealed.
The Leasing Life / Invigors pan-European asset finance barometer
showed that two thirds of asset finance professionals anticipate
new business volumes to increase in the next six months, up from 45
percent in April. Of those predicting growth next year, most
expected an increase of between 5-20 percent.

Despite the positive sentiment, it appears that the improvement
in margins, identified in previous surveys, has reached a plateau
for many, though. Only 27 percent of respondents expected margins
to improve over the next six months, just half the same proportion
last April.
The survey also provided some evidence that lessors are gaining
better control over bad debt, however, with only 35 percent
expecting bad debt to increase in the next six months, down from a
high of 77 percent in April.
The Leasing Life / Invigors survey, as well as
detailed analysis of the findings, will appear in the next issue
of Leasing Life (December issue).
