Today, Lietuvos bankas published the balance of payments for July 2025, which shows that:
the current account balance (CAB) turned from surplus (€475.9 million) to deficit, compared to June, and amounted to €120.9 million. The CAB deficit was mainly determined by a substantial increase in deficits of foreign trade and primary income balances (see Chart 1). Following a decline in exports of goods (1.8%) and a massive rise in imports of goods (14.2%), the foreign trade deficit considerably widened (by a factor of 2.4) and amounted to €887.4 million. The primary income deficit grew 1.9 times to €190.3 million. With a slight fall in exports of services (0.2%) and an increase in imports of services (3.6%), the surplus balance of services declined by 4.4%, amounting to €865.8 million. The surplus on the secondary income balance grew from €34.9 million to €91.0 million;

the negative net flow of financial account investment (€419.1 million) was mainly driven by the negative net flows of direct investment (€278.6 million) and other investment (€125.4 million) (see Chart 2).
