Financial center declares graphic processing units and data infrastructure eligible for leasing

The financial center has issued Notification No. 017/2026, officially specifying graphics processing units (GPUs), artificial intelligence (AI) systems, and connected data centre equipment as eligible assets for operating leases within international financial services centres. Asset classification rules in specialized financial hubs determine which equipment types can be financed through cross-border or domestic leasing structures.

Earlier, high-end computing hardware lacked explicit recognition under standard operational leasing notifications, limiting structured financing options for technology infrastructure. This notification removes that ambiguity by explicitly bringing data centre machinery and artificial intelligence hardware into the eligible leasing category. Finance professionals and leasing companies operating within the financial center should update their asset portfolios to include GPUs and related data centre equipment.

Tax advisors and legal teams must verify lease agreements against Notification No. 017/2026 to ensure full eligibility for local financial benefits. Bottom line: leverage this new asset classification to structure efficient technology leases for high-demand AI infrastructure.
