Jūratė Petrauskienė, Statistics Lithuania, 30.01.2015.Print version
Statistics Lithuania informs that in 2014 country's gross domestic product (GDP), estimated based on available statistical data and econometric models, amounted to EUR 36 270.8 million (LTL 125 236 million) at current prices. Compared to 2014, the real GDP change, seasonally and working day adjusted, stood at 2.9%.

In IV quarter 2014, GDP amounted to EUR 9 242.6 million (LTL 31 912.9 million) at current prices; compared to IV quarter 2013, the real GDP change, seasonally and working day adjusted, stood at 2.4%, while compared to III quarter 2014 – grew by 0.6%.

 

Compared to the growth observed in the first three quarters of 2014, the GDP growth rate observed in the fourth quarter was slower, which was due to poorer performance results of wholesale and retail trade, repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles, transportation and storage, accommodation and food service enterprises. The growth in GDP was mainly conditioned by construction and industry.
