Income Petro Poroshenko in one year since the inauguration of the President of Ukraine has increased several times, reports. It is noted, because it was against the background of falling of economy and the challenges the business Poroshenko faced in Russia.

in 2013, Poroshenko declared more than 51 million hryvnia (over $2 million) comprehensive income the major share came from the sale of securities and corporate rights.

in 2014, the picture has changed significantly: from 369 million hryvnia (over $17 million) only eleven, 2 million is proceeds from the sale of securities and corporate rights. And 90% of funds coming totaled dividends and interest on deposits.

A possible explanation is the fall of the hryvnia in 2014. It is possible that Poroshenko has held the money in foreign currency accounts and took profits in UAH at the rate. But this single factor does Not explain such a dramatic increase of funds coming from the President.

Observers suggest that Poroshenko could receive dividends As a shareholder of their businesses to pay for the election campaign. In addition, confectionery factory Roshen, owned by Poroshenko, in one year, revenues increased nine-fold.

Despite pre-election promise to the Ukrainian Constitution, Poroshenko decided Not to sell the business. In addition to the Roshen Corporation, he owns the company " Leninskaya Kuznitsa ", several food organizations, automobile Corporation " Bogdan-Auto, enterprises for the production of glass and starch, insurance Company, international investment Bank, several television and radio companies.

Director of the sociological service "Ukrainian barometer" Victor Nebozhenko warns of "serious political consequences" for Poroshenko." How can be interpreted the President-oligarch, when because of the war, the economy has fallen, the welfare of the people declined, And his condition grew?" he said.

"Poroshenko has been and remains one of the most powerful oligarchs in Ukraine. In political sidelines now joking that, say, the President has one problem with deliveryzetia country to do so, left one oligarch. The rate at which sold the business to the President, suggests that this process will continue until the end of his presidential powers. Or the head has No plans to be President for 5 years ", - said the journalist Sergei Rudenko.
