The leasing industry plays a crucial role in strengthening the competitiveness of medium-sized companies and its future-proof list, explains Dr. Claudia Conen, managing director of the Federal Association of German Leasing Companies (BDL). In its current annual report, the BDL presents various investment examples of its member companies, in which leasing has made it possible to find future investments in digitization and sustainability on site. The practical examples make it clear that leasing as a strategic instrument supports companies in promoting sustainability and accompanies the transformation of their customers.

The annual report presents various future investments, including photovoltaic systems, efficient beverage filling systems, bicycle production technology, medical technology, recycling systems for lithium-ion batteries as well as innovative residential concepts for seniors and modernized S-Bahn trains to improve local public transport.

In addition to the direct economic effects, leasing also has positive effects on cities and municipalities. These play a crucial role in the sustainable development of a region. However, many cities and municipalities suffer from an investment deficit. Here leasing can help by using it as a form of procurement for municipal investments. "Leasing is often underestimated when it comes to financing investments in the public sector," explains Dr. Sit. In the annual report, guest authors have expanded the topic from the public sector and described challenges and possible solutions.

One of the main causes of the investment deficit are bureaucratic hurdles and lengthy approval processes that hinder the entrepreneurial initiative and hinder investments and innovations. In order to invest in the future, companies need planning security, clear regulations and a healthy mix of funding. The tax burden also plays a crucial role. Germany still has high tax rates compared to other European countries that affect the location of the location. Comprehensive reforms are necessary to enliven investments in the location.

The BDL's annual report also analyzes the development of the leasing market. In 2023, the industry financed investments of 83.5 billion euros in machines, vehicles, IT equipment, infrastructure and other assets. This corresponds to an increase of 19.5 percent compared to the previous year. Significant deliveries and price increases were relevant factors.

In addition, the annual report takes a look at the attractiveness of the leasing industry as an employer. Young specialists from the industry report why they chose a career in the leasing economy, which motivates them every day and why the industry is surprisingly attractive.
