Comparison of the gross debt per capita with the European Union in Euro
Lithuania European UnionBudget deficit in Lithuania
The budget deficit of a country is the result of all its claims and liabilities. This includes incomes and expenses, repayments and building of new debts in other countries, but also domestic positions of the government, such as social insurances, local authorities and communities. It is the financial balance of the economic accounts. In simple terms: If a country at the end of the year has more money, than at at the beginning, it is a surplus - it is less, it is called deficit.
The budget balance in Lithuania in the period between 1998 and 2018 varied between -2.80 billion Euro and +297.60 million Euro. In 2018 was reached a balance of 297.60 million Euro.
