The annual (October 2020, compared to October 2019) inflation provisional estimate calculated based on the HICP stands at 0.5% in Lithuania.

This was mainly influenced by an increase in prices for healthcare goods and services, alcoholic beverages and tobacco products, furnishings, household equipment and routine maintenance goods and services, as well as a decrease in prices for transport goods and services, housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels and services.
