(Survey of key indicators)
The surplus current account balance (CAB) which built up in August 2013 was driven by the surplus balances of services and of current transfers as well as a strong decline in the trade balance deficit. The CAB balance has been building up in surplus for the third month. The negative value (LTL–321.3 million) of the balance of payments financial account balance in August 2013 resulted from net other investment and portfolio investment outflows.
The above data was released by the Statistics Department of the Bank of Lithuania.
