On a leasing market that dropped further in 2010, sealing majorcar contracts, a substantial real estate deal or embracing a veryaggressive price policy influenced the trend of turnover and theranking of the biggest firms affiliated to banks.

The top positions in terms of new funding released last yearwere filled by UniCredit Leasing, BRD Sogelease and VolksbankLeasing, according to some market sources.

The biggest surprise is BCR Leasing's fall onto the 10thposition, after ranking second in 2009, with the company affiliatedto the biggest bank on the market reaching a market share of just1.5%, with new funding worth around 17m euros.

Italy's UniCredit has dominated the market for several years,and the over 20% market share registered in 2010 secures it acomfortable advance as long as BRD barely holds 9%. However, BRDSogelease boosted its funding last year and the new company headwho arrived in September has ambitious targets.

Volksbank is holding on in the third position, even though thebank last year dropped onto the 8th position in assets ranking andthe group is discussing selling its subsidiaries in the region inVienna.
