ELFF Industry Snapshot Reports New Business Volume Off to Slow Start in 2019



The Equipment Leasing & Finance Foundation has released its Q2 2019 Equipment Leasing & Finance Industry Snapshot, a resource for industry participants to incorporate into executive briefings and presentations.

The presentation slide deck summarizes the current conditions and projections for the U.S. economy and equipment finance industry with clear, easy-to-digest charts and short narratives of key trends.

Among the range of details in the new release:

  • The U.S. economy softened to a 2.2% annualized growth rate in Q4/2018, but posted strong 2.9% growth for the year.
  • Consumer spending and business investment were the major drivers of growth in Q4/2018.
  • Top economic headwinds include the softening Chinese economy, a slowing European economy and U.S. manufacturing weakness.
  • Robust wage growth and dovish Federal Reserve policy around interest rates are top economic tailwinds.

The report was prepared by Keybridge Research and is updated quarterly.
