Balance of payments of the Republic of Lithuania: June 2026

the current account balance (CAB) turned from a deficit in May to a surplus in June, amounting to €437.5 million. This development was mainly driven by an increase in the surplus on the secondary income balance and a decrease in the deficit on the primary income balance (see Chart 1). The increase in the surplus on the secondary income balance from €37.1 million to €346.5 million mainly reflected a larger inflow of financial support from the European Union. The deficit on the primary income balance decreased significantly (by 53.0%) to €199.4 million. With exports of goods increasing faster than imports (by 14.1% and 6.8%, respectively), the deficit on the foreign trade balance narrowed (by 19.1%), amounting to €695.1 million. As exports and imports of services decreased (by 2.2% and 4.5%, respectively), the surplus on the balance of services increased slightly (by 0.6%) to €985.4 million;

the negative net financial account investment flow (€412.3 million) was driven by the negative net flows of other investment and direct investment (€1.9 billion and €430.4 million, respectively), which were not outweighed by the positive net flow of portfolio investment    (€1.8 billion) and the increase in official reserve assets (€119.0 million) (see Chart 2).
