KYIV, Dec 18 - The weakening of the hryvnia in December was caused by the impact of traditional seasonal factors, in particular, an increase in purchases ahead of major holidays and greater spending by the Finance Ministry, Acting Head of the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) Yakiv Smolii said.
"The end of the year is traditional, nothing special happens," he said at a meeting with members of the European Business Association in Kyiv on Friday, December 15.
