This is who is responsible for consumer boom in the country - Mykola Lagun. What does he produce? The most important thing - he produces money. Then, at a very high percent he gives money to everyone, who wishes to purchase home appliances, cell phones, bedroom furniture, TV sets, computers, basically any attribute of prosperity. For the first four months of 2008, his Delta Bank gave away to in the form of consumer credits more than UAH 880 million. This is 258 times higher than during the same period last year.     

It is hard to imagine that lagun registered his bank only on February 9, 2006. For this is a very short time for a financial institution to give out 992.7 thousand credit cards and attracte about two million clients. But this is not enough for the young businessman.  In 2007, Delta Bank purchased a small Belarusian atom-bank. One may be happy for the brothers Slavs. If lagun succeeds with the same enthusiasm in Belarus as he did in Ukraine, a consumer boom will cover the last stronghold of socialism, and the banker will manage to raise several places higher in the rating of Ukrainian capitalism.
