Businesses expect Lithuanian economy to bounce back in 2016

Growing demand in Lithuanian and foreign markets have led to a higher level of confidence about the year ahead among companies with indicators showing increasing confidence in all sectors except construction, reports TV3.

Recent economic indicators show growing momentum in the economy, with projections of a GDP growth rate of 2.6% in the first quarter of 2016.

With Lithuania’s labour market tightening, wages rising, and inflation likely to remain low businesses focused on the domestic economy should perform well as domestic consumption of goods and services increases.
