Abstract
The leasing institution is typical for countries with developed market economies, although it keeps gaining more and more importance in transition countries. Therefore, the research in this paper is focused on the financial leasing market in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as one of the countries undergoing transition process. Its basic features have been assessed, together with determining turnover over the observed ten-year period, both in Bosnia and Herzegovina as a whole and in its respective entities. The research aims to establish to what extent has financial leasing contributed to the development of the small and medium enterprise (SME) sector and the economic development of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Modern statistical methods have been applied to analyze the connection and interdependence of leasing and certain macroeconomic indicators in Bosnia and Herzegovina. For the purpose and in the context of this research, the following indicators, such as the values of leasing, gross domestic product, export, import, and foreign direct investments related to the period from 2009 to 2018 are presented in the respective tables and charts. The analysis is based on the application of descriptive and econometric statistical methods of correlation and regression, as well as on the following statistical packages: IBM SPSS ver. 21, Microsoft XLSTAT. A particular, dedicated segment of the analysis refers to determining the impact of financial leasing on the level of SME investment to classic bank loans. That is, to what extent is financial leasing in the function of investment decision-making of small and medium enterprises in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
