KIEV, Dec. 21 – The National Bank of Ukraine has noted a considerable inflow of foreign currency into Ukraine in the first half of December.

"According to recent data, the trend seen in the previous two months when Ukrainian residents' currency receipts exceeded their own payments to foreign partners is continuing in December. Moreover, the surplus registered in the first 12 working days in December was twice higher than in the same period in November," the NBU said in a statement on its official Web site.
