Parliament is soon expected to publish the declarations of assets of a number of state officials and politicians on its website.

The coming disclosure concerns the President of the Republic, government ministers and MPs.

These officials, however, are not currently obligated to also declare the assets of their spouses or underage children.

The assets and source of income statements concern the year 2016, pertaining to officials who assumed their post in 2013. This includes President Nicos Anastasiades and the ministers he appointed – and who are still serving in the administration – back in 2013, as well as new MPs entering parliament in the May 2016 legislative elections.

By law, the declarations must be filed within three months of assuming office, thereafter every three years and for as long as one holds that office, and also within three months of the expiry of the term of office or resignation.

After it was amended, the relevant law mandates the declaration of the assets of officials’ spouses as well as their underage children.
