Ukraine's balance of payments has demonstrated a historic anti-record

Ukraine recorded a record balance of payments deficit, which amounted to $5.1 billion. This was reported on August 4 by Forbes Ukraine magazine.

"The situation with Ukraine's balance of payments, which records the difference between exports and imports, continues to deteriorate. In June, a historical anti—record was recorded - minus $ 5.1 billion," the article says.

According to the newspaper, this is the first time in the history of Ukraine when such a large deficit was recorded. However, according to the magazine, this was expected, since the increase in trade anti-records had been repeatedly recorded before.
