(survey of key indicators)
An increase in the balance of services surplus did not offset a rather sizeable increase in foreign trade balance deficit, which led to the build-up of the deficit (LTL 260.5 million) current account balance (CAB). The net portfolio and other investment outflows were lower than the official reserve asset and net direct investment inflows, which resulted in the positive value of the balance of payments (BOP) financial account balance for March 2014 (LTL 82.7 million).
The above data was released by the Statistics Department of the Bank of Lithuania.
