They thus tend to explore other sources of financing of which the leasing which proves to be an adequate solution as regards financing of capital goods. Intervening within the framework of a study on the diversification and the modernization of the instruments of credit, the present work aims not only at presenting the leasing as an alternative of financing, but also aims at studying all the contours of this technique of financing and at showing the conditions in which it could replace the bank credit.
