Lithuania Current Account Surplus Widens in August

Lithuania’s current account recorded a surplus of €456.9 million in August 2026, widening from €261.1 million in the same month last year. This marked the largest current account surplus since September 2024, driven by a wider services surplus and a narrower goods deficit. The goods deficit fell to €323.7 million from €407.2 million a year ago, while the services surplus expanded to €967.1 million from €847.6 million. Partially offsetting these improvements, the primary income deficit increased slightly to €251.1 million from €244.8 million, while secondary income surplus also edged down to €64.6 million from €65.5 million.

Lithuania’s current account posted a surplus of EUR 88 million in July 2026, shifting from a deficit of EUR 324.8 million in the corresponding month a year earlier. The services account surplus increased to EUR 1,097.8 million from EUR 806.5 million in July 2025, while the secondary income account surplus also rose to EUR 44.1 million from EUR 30.3 million. At the same time, the goods account deficit narrowed to EUR 707 million from EUR 910.9 million over the same period. In contrast, the primary income account deficit widened to EUR 347 million from EUR 250.7 million, partly offsetting the improvements in the other accounts.

Lithuania’s current account surplus widened sharply to EUR 437.5 million in June 2026 from EUR 191.5 million in the same month a year earlier.

On the other hand, the goods account deficit widened to EUR 695.1 million from EUR 408.5 million, driven largely by a larger increase in imports, which rose by EUR 824.7 million to EUR 4,175.1 million, compared with a EUR 538.1 million increase in exports to EUR 3,480 million. The primary income deficit also rose to EUR 199.4 million from EUR 174 million a year ago.
