“Compared to western European countries, the situation in the Czech Republic is very positive. The total value of cars bought on leasing is higher than in Spain, for example, and comparing the pace of growth of the leasing market in general, the Czech Republic is on par with countries such as Germany and Italy,” Peter Mikus of GE Capital Leasing told CTK.
