OREANDA-NEWS. April 04, 2016. The Bank of Lithuania and Statistics Lithuania announce that in 2015 foreign direct investment flow into Lithuania increased, while the flow of Lithuania’s direct investment abroad slightly decreased.

The direct investment reviewed in this Press Release has been calculated by applying the directional principle, i.e. having assessed reverse investments. For this reason, the data differs from the direct investment information presented in the Balance of Payments and in the international investment position, where these investments have been calculated by applying the assets and liabilities principle.

It should be noted that in calculating direct investment for Q4 2015, the direct investment data for Q1–Q3 2015 was revised.

See the Statistical Release for more detailed direct investment statistics for 2015.

For detailed foreign direct investment data broken down by country and economic activity, see the section Statistics on the Bank of Lithuania’s website. Information about direct investment is also presented in the section Official Statistics of Statistics Lithuania.
