Slightly smaller surplus balances of goods and services vis-à-vis deficits in income and current transfers resulted in a LTL 10.1 million deficit of the current account balance (CAB) in October 2012. Within ten months of 2012, the CAB in deficit builds up only for the fifth time. A negative figure in the financial account (LTL –40.2 million) of the balance of payments in October 2012 was driven by an outflow of other investment and an increase of official reserve assets.
The above data was released by the Statistics Department of the Bank of Lithuania.
