The Bank of Lithuania published Lithuania’s balance of payments for July 2025, showing the current account balance moved from a EUR 475.9 million surplus in June to a EUR 120.9 million deficit. The swing was mainly driven by a wider goods trade deficit and a larger primary income deficit. Goods exports fell 1.8% while goods imports rose 14.2%, widening the foreign trade deficit by a factor of 2.4 to EUR 887.4 million. The primary income deficit increased 1.9 times to EUR 190.3 million. Services exports declined 0.2% and services imports increased 3.6%, reducing the services surplus by 4.4% to EUR 865.8 million, while the secondary income surplus rose from EUR 34.9 million to EUR 91.0 million. The financial account recorded a negative net flow of investment of EUR 419.1 million, mainly reflecting negative net flows of direct investment (EUR 278.6 million) and other investment (EUR 125.4 million). Detailed July balance of payments data is available via the Bank of Lithuania’s external statistics website and its My Data Sets tool, which allows users to create datasets that update automatically when new figures are published.
