Balance of payments of the Republic of Lithuania: April 2026

compared to March, the surplus on the current account balance (CAB) decreased significantly from €497.2 million to €96.2 million in April. The above development was mainly driven by a significantly larger deficit on the primary income balance, which was not outweighed by an increased surplus on the balance of services (see Chart 1). With the rise in exports and imports of services (by 6.5% and 6.1% respectively), the surplus on the balance of services went up (by 6.9%) to €1.0 billion. The deficit on the primary income balance increased from €78.0 million to €418.7 million. The increase of exports and imports of foreign goods (by 7.6% and 7.2% respectively) led to a rise in the foreign trade deficit (by 4.8%) to €589.5 million. The surplus on the secondary income balance decreased from €170.0 million to €70.5 million;

the positive flow of financial account investment (€822.6 million) was mainly driven by a positive net flow of other investment (€1.7 billion) (see Chart 2).
