Summary

Lithuania’s economy has proven resilient to multiple shocks in recent years and grew strongly in 2024. However, new challenges are emerging and long-standing issues still require attention. Defense spending is high and set to rise further, adding to other existing long-term spending pressures including from pensions. Income convergence with other euro area countries has been stalling lately while productivity growth remains weak. The global economic environment remains highly uncertain.
