Lithuania’s economic growth decelerated in the first quarter of 2026, with gross domestic product (GDP) expanding by 2.30% year‑on‑year, down from a previously reported 3.30% growth rate. The figures, updated on 01 June 2026, highlight a loss of momentum compared with the earlier pace, based on annual comparisons of the same quarter.
The year‑on‑year comparison shows that while Lithuania’s economy continues to grow, the expansion has become more moderate. The latest “actual” reading measures Q1 2026 GDP against Q1 2025, while the “previous” figure reflected the change in the prior period against its corresponding quarter a year earlier. This slowdown in the annual growth rate may prompt closer monitoring from policymakers and investors assessing the sustainability of Lithuania’s post‑pandemic expansion trajectory.
