“In view of the ongoing significant deterioration of
macroeconomic activity and the increasingly uncertain economic
forecasts, we are optimising our margin and risk structure and are
deliberately foregoing new business volumes,” said Uwe Hack, deputy
chairman of the executive board of Grenkeleasing.
Despite lower new business volumes, Grenkeleasing’s contribution
margin reached €20 million, or 14 percent – an all-time high.
“We are well prepared for the difficult overall economic phase
that lies ahead, and we are highly satisfied with the balance we
have achieved in terms of volume,” he added.
