Balance of payments of the Republic of Lithuania: September 2025

the surplus on the current account balance (CAB) decreased from €522.2 million to €352.3 million, compared to August. This development was mainly determined by a significant rise in the foreign trade deficit which was not offset by an increase in the surplus balance of services (see Chart 1). Imports of goods which grew faster than exports (by 16.5% and 8.3% respectively) markedly pushed up (2.2 times) the foreign trade deficit which amounted to €533.1 million. With the growth in exports and imports of services (by 11.9% and 3.8% respectively), the surplus on the balance of services greatly expanded (by 21.5%) and amounted to €1.1 billion. The deficit on primary income decreased (7.3%) and stood at €269.5 million. The surplus on the secondary income balance fell from €140.3 million to €38.3 million;

the negative net flow of financial account investment (€91.8 million) was mainly driven by the negative net flows of direct investment (€533.4 million) and portfolio investment (€476.4 million) (see Chart 2).
