The asset declaration for the mayor of Gdańsk was published in a public information bulletin, revealing that Aleksandra Dulkiewicz earned over PLN 336,000 in 2022. This figure marks a notable increase from the previous year, when the income exceeded PLN 247,000. The mayor’s remuneration for duties at the Gdańsk City Hall in the same year surpassed PLN 260,000, while she also received more than 16,000 euros in a surcharge from the European Committee of the Regions, amounting to roughly PLN 75,000.
Looking back to the prior year, the mayor’s earnings exceeded PLN 206,000 for her official duties. In addition, grants from the European Committee of the Regions totaled more than PLN 9,000, or about EUR 41,000. A related news item noted that city officials in other jurisdictions reported higher salaries than ministers, and that the city treasurer’s pay approached double the level of the secretary of the treasury.
Co-ownership of a residence
The asset declaration confirms that the president remains a co-owner of an apartment with an area of 63.6 square meters and a value of about PLN 510,000, a rise from the previous declaration when the property was valued lower. The record shows that Dulkiewicz received a share of the building as a gift.
The declaration also indicates that she entered into a consumer lease for a Fiat 500 1.2 Lounge last year, with total installments due through 2025 in the vicinity of PLN during the period.
In addition to real estate, the asset statement lists holdings in listed companies including JSW, KGHM, PKO Bank Polski, and Energa. The combined value of these shares is reported as PLN 11,100. Last year she received a dividend of PLN 124.45 from these investments, while in 2021 the dividend amounted to PLN 51.
The president reported personal savings of about USD 141,000 in the previous year, corresponding to roughly PLN 43,000 more than the year before. Approximately EUR 300 was held, up from EUR 120, and around USD 100, up from USD 20 in 2021.
Further, the declaration notes savings of about PLN 35,800 in an Individual Pension Insurance Account and roughly PLN 14,000 in a voluntary pension fund plan. The president also disclosed a life insurance policy with a face value of USD 500,000 in local currency terms.
Additional coverage about ownership and earnings of public officials has attracted public interest in comparable cases across Polish cities, highlighting how asset declarations inform local governance and transparency. The compilation of such data is intended to provide a clearer picture of a mayor’s financial position alongside official duties. As the scrutiny of public finances continues, observers look at how such disclosures relate to governance quality, potential conflicts of interest, and the broader accountability landscape across cities.
Source context and related findings continue to be reported by news outlets, contributing to ongoing conversations about how local leaders manage personal wealth in relation to their public responsibilities.
