The deficit on the current account balance (CAB) on the country’s balance of payments decreased in January 2012. It went down by LTL 189.4 million or 32.1% compared to December 2011. The decline in the CAB deficit was driven by a decrease in the income balance deficit and a hike in the current transfers from abroad. In January 2012, the year-on-year growth of the CAB deficit was 17.6%. A positive figure (LTL 323 million) on the balance of the financial account on the balance of payments in January 2012 has formed as a result of a decrease in official reserve assets.
The above data was released by the Statistics Department of the Bank of Lithuania.
