KIEV, Nov. 26 – The rise of the current account deficit in October to $907 million from $194 million in September is mainly linked to the increase in economic activity in the country, Valeriy Lytvytsky, the head of the group of advisors to the Governor of the National Bank of Ukraine, said.

"October is not a simple month, which follows September, this is a month that we recently qualified as the start of the stirring up of economic activity, which is accompanied by a rise in demand for imports," he said in an interview with Interfax-Ukraine on Thursday.
