Balance of Payments of the Republic of Lithuania, August 2017
Today, the Bank of Lithuania published the balance of payments data for August 2017, which shows that the build-up of a surplus in the current account balance (EUR 108.6 million) was driven by the increase in the surplus balances of secondary income and services, as well as the decline in the deficit trade and primary income balances. Due to exports of trade which grew faster than imports
(10.4 and 3.3% respectively), the deficit in the foreign trade balance narrowed almost 2 times.
