Summary:

This Fiscal Transparency Evaluation estimated Lithuania’s public sector financial position to take a more comprehensive view of public finances in Lithuania. For 2017, it estimates consolidated public sector revenue and expenditures of 40 and 39 percent of GDP, public sector asset holdings and liabilities of 165 and 96 percent of GDP, and public sector net worth of 69 percent of GDP (Table 0.2). Inclusion of public corporations increases net lending from 0.5 percent of GDP reported for the general government sector to 1.2 percent of GDP, while it decreases financial net worth from negative 21 percent of GDP reported for the general government sector to negative 41 percent of GDP.
