The Palestine Capital Market Authority held a high-level technical coordination meeting with the EU4B project, the European Union representative and licensed financial leasing companies to discuss mechanisms to support the leasing sector, including opportunities to provide funding at reasonable cost. The focus was on strengthening leasing companies’ ability to finance small and medium-sized enterprises on terms competitive with other financing tools in the Palestinian market. Discussions also covered coordination with international institutions to help leasing companies access a wider range of funding sources in a way that supports the sector’s sustainability and stability, and to broaden the types of assets financed to include productive assets. The Authority presented an overview of sector development, including the number of registered leasing contracts, total investment, key financial indicators and competition, and reviewed firms’ experience managing Italian funding, including a EUR 10 million revolving loan and EUR 5.2 million in sub-loans for specific projects.
