(survey of key indicators)
In October 2014 the build-up of the current account balance in surplus (LTL 292.7 million, or EUR 84.8 million) was driven by an increase in the balance of services deficit, as well as the decreasing, but still in surplus, balances of secondary income and capital account. The positive financial account balance (LTL 461.4 million, or EUR 133.6 million) was due to the positive flow of net direct and other investment and of the growing official reserve assets flow.
These new data were released today by the Statistics Department of the Economics and Financial Stability Service at the Bank of Lithuania.
