Balance of Payments of the Republic of Lithuania, April 2017
Today, the Bank of Lithuania published the data for the April 2017 balance of payments, which showed that the build-up of the EUR 166.8 million deficit on the current account balance was driven by the negative balances of goods and primary income. Due to more rapid decrease in export of goods, trade balance deficit expanded by 42.2 per cent. The negative balance of primary income increased due to significant growth in investment income balance deficit.
