Based on provisional data, the FDI flow in Lithuania in Q1 2012 amounted to LTL 1.2 billion (4.6 % of GDP) and, compared to Q4 2011, increased by LTL 891.7 million, i.e. more than 4 times, compared to Q1 2011 – LTL 654.6 million, i.e. more than 2 times. Such a large increase in FDI flow in Lithuania was determined by changes in the flow from other capital: in Q1 2012 it was positive, while in the said periods of 2011, other capital was on the decrease.
