Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky declared that his income for 2022 had increased to 12.42 million hryvnias ($306,000) from 3.7 million hryvnias the previous year, the Kyiv Independent reported.
The difference is due to increased rent collection and the sale of some government bonds.
A statement on the president's website said most of the income of the head of state and his family comes from his salary, bank interest and rents on his properties.
Zelensky and his family received income of 7.45 million Ukrainian hryvnias from the sale of government bonds.
No major changes have been reported in the president's assets or the vehicles he owns.
In 2021, before the outbreak of war in 2022, the president declared an income of 10.8 million hryvnias. The sharp drop in 2022 is due to less rental income.
Volodymyr Zelenskiy has called on civil servants to disclose their income as part of efforts to increase transparency and stamp out corruption as Ukraine tries to meet tough requirements for its bid to join the European Union.
Western allies, providing weapons and financial aid, as well as international bodies such as the International Monetary Fund, also sought guarantees for anti-corruption efforts. /BGNES
