Lithuania’s current account surplus eased to 1.6% of GDP in the first quarter of 2026, down from 2.6% recorded in the fourth quarter of 2025. The latest figure, updated on 22 June 2026, points to a moderation in the country’s external surplus at the start of the year.
While specific drivers of the shift were not disclosed, the move from 2.6% to 1.6% suggests a relative weakening in net external balances compared with the end of 2025. For markets and policymakers, the smaller surplus may signal changing dynamics in trade, income flows, or domestic demand conditions as 2026 progresses.
