Lithuania

map Lithuania
Economic recovery is continuing at a decent pace. Following a recovery in 2024, the Lithuanian economy grew satisfactorily last year, with the wind set fair for 2026. Lithuanian firms have started to replenish their stocks, which will result in increased gross capital formation. For the medium to long term, we expect stable GDP growth of about 2.5%.
