Balance of Payments of the Republic of Lithuania, September 2017
Today, the Bank of Lithuania published the balance of payments data for September 2017, which shows that the increased surplus on the current account balance (EUR 154.4 million) was due to the narrowed deficits on the balances of foreign trade and primary income. In January–September 2017, the current account balance deficit narrowed by 2.9 times year on year as a result of increased surpluses on the balances of services (29.3%) and secondary income (19.2%), which were not offset by a widening in foreign trade deficit (20.3%).
