KIEV, Feb. 9 – The National Bank of Ukraine could consider a second round of easing of monetary policy in February following the decrease in refinancing rates in January, said Valeriy Lytvytsky, the head of the group of advisors to the NBU governor.

"A certain asymmetry is being formed in the balance of macroeconomic risks – the threat of growth slowing is starting to outbalance fears about price stability, which requires the adjustment of interest rates downwards," he told Interfax-Ukraine.
