Hi Guys,
Its not surprising that a bank owns a leasing company.
Ultimately there is no difference (apart from the size of the exposure) between leasing a railway wagon or leasing a car. Admittedly there are far fewer people wanting to lease railway wagons than cars.
In this parts of the world banks have moved away from this sort of credit exposure over the last 5-10 years. The biggest car leasing firms 10 years ago were owned by banks.
Ultimately it is not this sort of lending that the has got the banks into trouble.
