Project Description

This three year project supports the continued efforts of the Government of Gabon to advance key reforms in the leasing sector. It focuses on finalizing and operationalizing the legal and fiscal framework required for leasing market development, including the passage of a national leasing law and the clarification of tax treatment for leasing transactions. The project also assists the government in establishing a national leasing association to strengthen sector coordination and long term sustainability. These reforms aim to reduce barriers for financial institutions, improve conditions for asset based lending, and expand financing opportunities for SMEs across priority sectors.
