Lithuania Country Analysis 2013-2018: An Evaluation of Political, Social, Economic, and Business Risk, April 2013
Lithuania is a modern, private sector-oriented economy. The global financial crisis disrupted the macroeconomic and financial stability of Lithuania, which had enjoyed sustained growth before the recession. Lithuania’s open investment situation supports foreign direct investment, which demonstrates the openness and flexibility of the economy toward investment and adds momentum to economic growth. By 2014, the global economy is expected to recover from the European debt crisis, boosting international demand and resulting in economic growth for Lithuania, which is highly dependent on exports.
Lucintel, a leading global management consulting and market research firm, has conducted a competitive analysis on Lithuania and offers its findings in its research report, “Lithuania Country Analysis 2013-2018: An Evaluation of Political, Social, Economic, and Business Risk.”
Lucintel identifies Lithuania’s high emigration rate, resulting in declining youth population in the country, high export dependency to European countries, and high homicide rate as major challenges for the nation’s economy. Drivers that are expected to give Lithuania’s economy competitive advantage are strong domestic demand and high external demand. Lithuania is a net importing country as it imports semi-finished goods and exports finished products. Therefore, both exports and imports are high in Lithuania, which drives the overall economy.
This report will benefit company managers, fund managers, and private equity firms wanting to invest in Lithuania. Investors that are seeking a complete analysis of Lithuania’s economy from all perspectives: political, economic, social, and business risk, will find this study useful. The impact of economic factors, such as sovereign debt, fiscal deficit, and current account deficit, is gauged on Lithuania’s economy and industrial outlook. The report analyzes the Lithuanian government’s measures to stabilize the economy in response to the European debt crises. This report also considers the effects of recent changes in monetary, fiscal, and trade policies and their impact on business in Lithuania in the coming years.
This unique report from Lucintel will provide you with valuable information, insights, and tools needed to identify new growth opportunities and operate your business successfully in this market.
