(Survey of key indicators)
A significant increase in trade balance deficit and a strong decline in the balance of current transfers surplus in July 2013 led to the current account balance (CAB) being in deficit of LTL 345.7 million. In June, the current account balance recorded a surplus of LTL 1.1 billion. The negative value (LTL –295.8 million) of the balance of payments financial account balance in July 2013 resulted from strong growth in official reserve assets.
