Real GDP per person during each president's tenure
Every president since 1991, ranked by how real GDP per person changed from their first day in office. Politare shows what happened during a tenure; it does not claim the office-holder caused it.

Sorted by total, highest first. Every row is indexed to the last quarter complete before the first day in office ("from" marks a start that had to move because that period had no data, or because the period cut it); Levels are per cent changes, rates are differences in %; "per year" compounds levels and divides rates. Tenures with under 12 months, or under three observations, are left out. UAH thousand per person, 2021 prices, last four quarters · Ukrstat quarterly national accounts at constant 2021 prices over Ukrstat's average resident population, which ends in 2021 · Ukraine data · as of Sep 2026.
