The Ukrainian hryvnia will likely weaken in 2012, the chief financial officer of Ferrexpo PLC (FXPO.LN) told Dow Jones Newswires Wednesday.

"The balance of probabilities is towards hryvnia weakening," Christopher Mawe said, as he reported a 34% increase in full-year profits for the Swiss-headquartered iron ore company which has assets in the Ukraine.

He noted that the strength of the Ukrainian currency would depend on many factors, including the price the country pays for natural gas from Russia; the progress of talks with the International Monetary Fund over the resumption of Ukraine's $15.6 billion bailout loan; and the country's ability to access international debt markets.

He also said he expects inflation in the Ukraine to continue slowing and to be between 7% to 8% in 2012.
