Growth Trends in Equipment Investments Weakens – Moveables Leasing Gets Off to Lively Start in the New Year

According to the results of the latest Ifo Survey of leasing companies, survey participants assess their current business situation even more favourably than previously. Business perspectives also appear to have recovered from their low point, with leasing companies expecting an upward trend in the near future for the third time in succession. The Ifo/BDL investment indicator shows that equipment investment should be an annual average of over 3% higher in 2012, and forecasts an increase of 3% for the first three months of 2013.
