(joint statistical release by the Bank of Lithuania and Statistics Lithuania)
In Q3 2014 foreign direct investment in Lithuania and the flow of Lithuania’s direct investment abroad increased; however, cumulated direct investment in Lithuania decreased and on 30 September 2014 amounted to EUR 11.8 billion, as announced by the Bank of Lithuania and Statistics Lithuania.
It should be noted that the direct investment reviewed in this Statistical Release is calculated by applying the directional principle, i.e. by assessing reverse investments. For this reason the data differs from the information on direct investment presented in the Balance of Payments and in the international investment position, where these investments have been calculated by applying the assets and liabilities principle, following the updated Balance of Payments Manual.
See the Statistical Release (252.1 KB download icon) for more detailed direct investment data for Q3 2014.
For the breakdown of detailed direct investment data by countries and types of economic activity, see the section Statistics on the Bank of Lithuania's website. Information on direct investments is also available on the Statistics Lithuania Official Statistics Portal.
