14. 4. Market outlook
Macroeconomic outlook and forecasts
In the first quarter of 2012 Lithuania’s real GDP increased by 3.9 per cent on an annual basis. Taking into mind unfavorable
economic climate in Europe, economic growth in Lithuania remained rather robust. Good export diversification and increasing
efficiency at company level were important growth factors. Meanwhile domestic demand was strong and contributed
significantly to economic development.
On the one hand, GDP growth was slower than in 2011. On the other hand, it was higher than expected, and the situation in
main economic sectors remained stable what gives ground to more optimistic expectations about the nearest future. Sectors
oriented to domestic demand demonstrated the fastest growth in the first quarter of 2012, i.e. value added in construction
increased by 10.8 per cent year-on-year, IT and communications by 6.5 per cent, real estate operations by 5.6 per cent,
manufacturing industry by 5.0 per cent, retail and wholesale trade, transport and logistics, accommodation and catering by 4.9
per cent. Other sectors grew slower than the whole economy on the average.
Despite the ongoing euro zone crisis, Lithuanian exports grew fast both to Western and Eastern markets. At the beginning of
2012, exports to European Union countries increased even faster than exports to CIS countries. Regardless lower demand in
most of euro zone countries (except Germany), Lithuanian-origin exports remain competitive in terms of prices.
