The effective functioning of the financial and credit mechanism for the activation of leasing activity in Ukraine is important for increasing the number and quality of leasing operations, as well as improving leasing activity in general. In this context, the methods of assessing the financial stability of the Fund for Financing Leasing Operations become particularly relevant and important as an important element of the system of functioning of such a mechanism, which at the same time is a set of multiple sources of financing of the leasing portfolio of the lessor or financial company engaged in the provision of financial leasing. This article is devoted to this issue, in which, with the help of economic and mathematical modelling, an assessment of the probability of default of the Fund for Financing Leasing Operations was carried out due to the growth of the ratio of financial leverage and taking into account the action of a number of economic and financial factors, and it was determined that the most stable form of financing leasing operations is loan capital. It is proposed to estimate the probability of the event of default of the Fund for financing leasing using the method of building Bayesian logistic models with a normal type of conditional probability distribution. The study found that the expected macroeconomic situation and low inflation environment are necessary factors for the sustainability of the Fund for Financing Leasing Operations. It was emphasized that a significant role is played by state support in the financing of leasing projects and reasonable opposition to competition from competitive technologies of the Fintech sector. The obtained results can be used for evaluating the efficiency of lessors' portfolios and making decisions regarding the selection of optimal sources of financing for leasing operations.

In January, the \"End Speculative Oil and Gas Leasing Act\" (bill S.3202) was introduced in the US Congress by Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), in response to concerns expressed by conservation advocacy groups regarding landlease auctions by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) yielding bids at or below the $2 per acre minimum in post-auction sales. Critics argue that speculative leasing often costs BLM time and money while generating negligible returns in energy production or revenues; in Nevada, as little as 2% of federally leased lands sup-port energy production. Cortez Masto's bill seeks to end BLM leasing of lands with little or no energy development potential. In a press release announcing the bill, she noted that, \"Since 2016, just over 9% of the land made available for oil and gas development in Nevada has actually been leased, and most of it for the minimum bid at $2 per acre. This...wastes BLM resources and 'locks up' precious areas.\"
