Leaseurope has launched a joint publication with KPMG on European leasing.

The guide combines leasing market data and regulatory aspects of leasing throughout Europe.

The publication offers a review of 25 European leasing markets.

After setting out a general picture of the European leasing market and an outline of the international accounting standard for leasing, IAS17, the publication goes on to look at individual European leasing markets in depth.

To achieve this, each national leasing market chapter includes an introduction reviewing the size and growth of the market, along with details on the types of assets on lease in the country and other lease contract characteristics.

The second part of each country chapter contains a description of the legal, fiscal and accounting background of the mark.

This is the first publication of this kind to focus exclusively and extensively on European markets in a comparable and user-friendly electronic format and is on track to becoming the industry reference in this sector.
