KIEV, July 24 – The inflation rate and the growth of the foreign trade deficit remain the main risk factors for Ukraine's economy, though on the whole the macroeconomic situation in Ukraine is good, Association of Ukrainian Banks President Oleksandr Suhoniako said.

"The trade deficit is $8.8 billion, which is evidence that we have a weak balance of exports and imports. Moreover, we have a deficit of trade with both the CIS and the European Union," he said at a press conference on Thursday.
