Lithuanian emigrants return to spend €80m on products in Lithuania

Experts say that these purchases are driven by a shortage of certain desired goods abroad and attempts to turn a profit on the price difference.

One out of every seven emigrants admits that transporting goods from Lithuania to sell in other countries covers part if not all of the expenses of their trip to their homeland.

One out of every ten emigrants name the purchase of goods as the primary reason for which they return to Lithuania.
