Leasing in Development : Lessons from Emerging Economies

By studying the approach of IFC leasing
technical assistance projects implemented to date, the
authors hope to provide a useful reference. This manual
highlights which elements to look for locally, why
experiences may be different between countries, and what
(based on our collective experience) may be appropriate
courses of action. Examining the approach of current and
past projects, this manual also aims to identify the key
policy issues on leasing development. Within these policy
issues, there will be certain standards that are
non-negotiable-tenets that form the foundation of
credibility, integrity, and success around the world. There
will be other elements on these issues that are based on
general principles that can be applied only in specific ways
depending on local conditions. This manual should help
leasing development practitioners identify key local
characteristics, assess their potential impact, and,
therefore, make the decisions required on which route to take.
