The Croatian Financial Services Supervisory Agency (HANFA) issues this Rulebook to regulate the conduct of leasing business by leasing companies from EU Member States and third countries within Croatia. It establishes distinct operational frameworks, allowing EU firms to provide services directly or via branches under mutual recognition, while requiring third-country firms to operate exclusively through branches subject to specific approval and capital guarantees. The regulation details licensing procedures, management requirements, supervisory cooperation, and the application of relevant leasing laws to ensure consumer protection and financial stability.
