(survey of key indicators)
The build-up of the LTL 43.7 million current account balance (CAB) surplus in December 2013 was driven by the surplus balance of current transfers and services, as well as the decreasing trade and income balance deficits (compared to November). The January–December 2013 CAB balance has built up in deficit for the seventh time. The negative value (LTL 239.1 million) of the balance of payments financial account balance in December 2013 resulted from an outflow abroad of net portfolio and other investment.
The above data was released by the Statistics Department of the Bank of Lithuania.
