Balance of Payments of the Republic of Lithuania May 2019
Today, the Bank of Lithuania published the balance of payments for May 2019, which shows that due to a significant increase in foreign trade deficit, the deficit on the current account balance widened, to amount to €200.9 million. More robust growth in imports of goods (10.7%) compared to exports of goods (2.4%) doubled the deficit on the trade balance, which ultimately stood at €437.8 million.
