ELFA issues Q3 MLFI-25, Beige Book quarterly review

The Monthly Leasing and Finance Index and Beige Book quarterly review are available on ELFA's Web site for download. The Beige Book, styled after the Federal Reserve's summary of anecdotal analysis of regional economic activity, is an analysis of performance data and financial activity in each of the sectors represented by the ELFA Small Ticket, Financial Institutions, Captive and Vendor Finance, and Middle Market Independent business councils. The Beige Book augments a summary of quarterly data compiled from the 25 participating companies in the ELFA Monthly Leasing and Finance Index. Each member of an ELFA business council steering committee was asked to answer questions that help identify trends in third-quarter business performance in areas including origination, capital availability, spreads, delinquency, losses, credit approval, and best- and worst-performing industry sectors. Together, the data set is a simple, yet helpful, tool that enables members to identify critical business trends and assess their performance metrics against their peers'.
