KIEV, Feb. 5 – The surplus of Ukraine's consolidated balance of payments in 2015 reached $849 million, while in 2014 its deficit was $13.3 billion, the National Bank of Ukraine reported on its website.
According to the report, earlier the surplus of the country's balance of payment was recorded in 2010.
"This first was a result of the large reduction of the deficit of the current account. Last year it was the smallest since 2005. If in 2014, the indicator reached $4.6 billion (3.5% of GDP), in 2015 it shrank to $204 million (0.2% of GDP)," the regulator said.
