Introduction

Lease financing is comparatively a new concept in the financial sector and has got recognition as an innovative source of finance for accelerating the pace of industrialization as well as economic growth of Bangladesh. Leasing companies have registered substantial growth in lease financing during the year 1985 through 1994. Since 1995 to date, growth in lease market has significantly slowed down because of sluggish economic activities, withdrawal of incentives by the government, imposition of cash resource requirement with Bangladesh Bank as per Finance Act 1998, expansion of number of leasing institutions, lack of diversification of service and of awareness in business community about leasing etc. Researchers have also found that leasing companies need to develop their professionals and should come in the market with new marketing strategy.

Background

Bangladesh is a least developed country in the world with per capita GDP Tk.11.284 (USD 230).She suffers from poverty, imperfection in both, factor and product market, continuous in equilibrium in the economy, defective administrative structure in both financial and non-financial sector, inappropriate tax structure, heavy dependence on assistance from World Bank including other International Lending Agencies and Donor Countries, lack of capital stock, massive unemployment, political turmoil and unhealthy environment for investment. With the emergence of Bangladesh as an independent country in 1971, the then Government nationalized all commercial Banks with the hope of accelerating industrial growth through financial, fiscal and other supports. Since the inception of independent Bangladesh, Commercial Banks, Development Financial Institutions and Investment Corporation of Bangladesh have been the major sources of industrial finance in the country. These Banks were predominately serving the public sector by extending support in the form of long term loan, working capital finance, bridge finance etc. and had limited experience in trade, commerce and industry. Due to dearth of experience in investment decision, project financing, recovery of loan and recycle of loan, both entrepreneurs and Banking Financial Institutions coupled with difficulties at every stage of development and accomplishment which ultimately led to the emergence of many sick industries.

The Development Financial Institutions (DFI s) that depend largely on external assistance suffer from financial constrains because of ineffective project appraisal. Imprudent investment decisions, poor recovery and inability to recycle of loan which resulted in withdrawal of fund by international donors. As a result of poor performance and withdrawal of external support, the liquidity position of DFI s have declined and ability of sanctioning fresh loan and of refinancing sick industries reduced. Nationalized commercial Banks are usually reluctant to finance capital expenditure due to higher financial risk and poor recovery and designed to promote the nonproductive sectors. Besides, their loan operation was substantially diminished due to additional cash reserve requirement imposed by Bangladesh Bank in order to curb inflation. Consequently, genuine industrial clients are affected by their limited access to the long-term local currency loan. This contention is evident from the fact that the private sector remains in massive default to the DFI s and NCB s, 90% of borrowers to DFI s are in defaulting and recovery rates are as low as 10% of the total recoverable amount. On the other hand, Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE), the only stock market of Bangladesh is not well organized and therefore failed to mobilize sufficient fund to meet the demand of the capital market of the country. During 1972-84, public sector financial institutions were found totally failure in developing industrial sector and promoting first generation of industrial entrepreneurs.
