UniCredit Leasing has once again come out on top of Leaseurope’s
ranking of European leasing companies. The Italian lessor was
followed by two French lessors, BNP Paribas Equipment Solutions and
SG Equipment Finance.

Although UniCredit Leasing saw year-on-year new business fall by
14.6 percent to €12.7 billion, the Italian lessor was still nearly
€1 billion ahead of BNP Paribas Equipment Solutions, its nearest
competitor.
