Abstract

The purpose of the paper is to study the evolution of the global, European and national leasing market, but first of all to take into account the changes introduced by the new IFRS 16. Thus, it was found that although the Romanian leasing market follows the same trend as the European leasing market, Romania prove to be more susceptible to negative changes in the economy. Moreover, economically developed countries account the highest part of the financing through leasing. This demonstrates that leasing cannot evolve without being closely linked to the economic development of the country in which it operates as product.
