KYIV, Dec 5 – Ukraine’s current account deficit is likely to shrink to 3% of the gross domestic product in 2019, down from 3.3% in 2018, suggesting that economic growth is mostly exports-driven, Oleg Churiy, the deputy governor of the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU), said.

"The current account deficit is decreasing: last year it was 3.3%, this year we expect it to be less than 3%," Churiy said at the Ukrainian Wealth Management Forum in Kyiv.
