KIEV, Sept. 28 – The deficit of the current account of Ukraine's balance of payments in August plunged to $44 million, from $348 million in July, and the deficit of the financial account climbed to $2.574 billion, up from $595 million in the previous month, according to the National Bank of Ukraine.

The report says that the key factor for the improvement of the state of the current account was a rise in goods exports: metals and farming product exports have grown, with imports remaining almost unchanged.
