Ukrainian household wealth declined by 18.5% or $10 billion in the 12 months through June 2016, to $44 billion, according to the annual report of Credit Suisse investment bank.

As reported, Ukrainian Exchange index in 2015 fell by 33.6%, PFTS index – by 37.8%. Since early 2016, they rebounded by 17.2% and 11% respectively.
