Bank of Lithuania operations with non-residents pushed the international reserves up, while the reducing factor was operations with commercial banks and central government institutions. The main reason behind a USD 170.4 million increase was the Bank of Lithuania repo transactions with non-residents, while the decline of LTL 63.9 million and LTL 78.1 million was determined by net anchor currency sale to commercial banks and operations with central government institutions, respectively.
