However, Ahciarliu emphasized that this is her own opinion and not that of ALB.
"The average annual growth is 5-12 percent in Europe. Romania's leading market becomes mature in terms of demand-supply ratio. Romania could register growth in the trend of European leasing markets not impacted by the crisis," she said.
As for 2008, the leasing market could reach €5.5-5.7 billion by the end of the year, below the initial €6 bln estimate, which means a 11 percent growth, Ahciarliu said.
In 2007, the market rose 51.6 percent, up to €4.94 billion.
