The need to remit a portion of funds that Naftogaz of Ukraine NJSC set aside in a restricted account with the National Bank of Ukraine in order to settle gas bills and arrears with Gazprom OJSC for natural gas imported in November-December 2013 (USD 1.450 billion) affected the international reserves dynamics in November.
