On October 9, 2025, Law No. 208 "On Amendments to the Law on Financial Leasing" was adopted, which introduces adjustments to the prudential norms and establishes the possibility of creating a state leasing company in the form of a joint-stock company.
According to Article 2 of the aforementioned law, the Cabinet of Ministers was tasked with adapting regulatory acts to the new legislation within six months.
In this regard, the Ministry of Economy and Commerce is proposing updates to the current rules of leasing activities.
Since the volume of changes exceeds 50%, the document will be submitted for approval in a new edition.
The Ministry of Economy proposes to implement the following changes to the regulations on leasing activities:
- Leasing companies are required to publish their financial statements and audit reports in the Public Depository of Financial Reporting. This will ensure transparency of their operations and accessibility of information for investors and counterparties.
- Establish rules for calculating financial norms that will determine capital, liquidity, and stability requirements for leasing companies. This will enhance the financial stability of companies and reduce risks.
- Eliminate the requirement for an internal auditor on the staff of leasing organizations. Instead, control will be exercised through mandatory external audits.
- Create conditions for attracting investments in the leasing sector, including foreign funds. This will expand financing opportunities and equipment renewal, especially in agriculture and other capital-intensive industries.
- Increase the transparency and reliability of the leasing market. The adopted changes aim to develop the industry, strengthen investor confidence, and support the modernization of the economy.
