On October 9, 2025, Law No. 208 "On Amendments to the Law on Financial Leasing (Leasing)" was adopted, which includes a review of prudential norms and the possibility of creating a state leasing company in the form of a joint-stock company.
According to Article 2 of this law, the Cabinet of Ministers was instructed to adapt regulatory legal acts to the new requirements within six months.
In this regard, the Ministry of Economy and Commerce has developed updates to the existing rules of leasing activities.
Considering that the volume of changes exceeds 50%, the document is proposed to be approved in a new edition.
The Ministry of Economy proposes to introduce the following amendments to the rules of leasing activities:
- Leasing companies will be required to publish their financial statements and audit reports in the Public Depository of Financial Reporting. This will ensure greater transparency and accessibility of information for investors and partners.
- Establish rules for calculating financial norms that define capital, liquidity, and stability requirements for leasing companies. This will help enhance the financial stability of companies and minimize risks.
- Cancel the mandatory requirement for leasing companies to have an internal auditor on staff. Instead, control will be exercised through mandatory external audits.
- Create conditions that promote attracting investments to the leasing sector, including foreign investments. This will open new opportunities for financing and updating equipment, especially in the agricultural sector and other capital-intensive industries.
- Increase the transparency and reliability of the leasing market. The changes adopted are aimed at developing the industry, strengthening investor confidence, and supporting the modernization of the economy.
