(survey of key indicators)
In June 2014, the build-up of the current account balance (CAB) in surplus (LTL 694.8 million, or EUR 201.2 million) was driven by declines in the trade and primary income balances deficits. According to preliminary estimates, in April–June 2014 the CAB surplus amounted to LTL 957.7 million (EUR 277.4 million), or 3.1 per cent of GDP. The positive financial account balance (LTL 627.6 million, or EUR 181.8 million) was due to the large positive flow of net portfolio investment and of the growing official reserve assets.
These new data were released today by the Statistics Department of the Economics and Financial Stability Service at the Bank of Lithuania.
