Lithuania’s 2018 draft budget meets fiscal discipline requirements – European Commission

The EU‘s executive body noted that Lithuania has made some progress in meeting the fiscal recommendations given to it last July and called on the country’s authorities to seek further progress.

Lithuania, which joined the Eurozone in January 2015, submitted its draft budget to the European Commission and the Eurogroup for assessment for the third time. This is the first year that the EU’s executive body found the country’s budgetary plan to be fully in line with the fiscal discipline rules.
