Indicators of economy in Lithuania

The essential economic performance of a country is reflected by the gross domestic product, the total of all goods and services sold. Worldwide gross domestic product in 2021 was at about 12,183 USD per capita. GDP in Lithuania, on the other hand, reached USD 23,723 per capita, or 66.45 billion USD for the whole country. Lithuania is therefore currently ranked 79 of the major economies. If this is calculated per inhabitant, taking purchasing power parity into account, then Lithuania ranks 35th in the list of the richest countries.

Inflation in Lithuania in 2022 was around 19.71%. Within the EU, the average in the same year was 9.22 percent. In the United States, it was most recently 8.00%.

The index for perceived corruption in the public sector is 62, which is rather mediocre by global standards.

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic

Overall, the gross domestic product in Lithuania in 2020 increased from 54.75 billion US dollars to 56.85 billion US dollars. Certainly, there have been shifts in numerous sectors of the economy, but a 3.8 percent increase has been rather unusual this year. While most countries have suffered significant losses, Lithuania has certainly held its own. The unemployment rate rose from 6.3 to 8.5 percent. The country's gross debt increased by 32.2 percent. The inflation rate fell from 2.3 percent previously to 1.2 percent by the end of 2020.

Income and purchasing power

The average monthly income in Lithuania is 1,812 US Dollar per capita. In the USA, the figure is 5,911 US Dollar. However, the prices of consumer goods are also around 44.3 percent lower than in the USA. If you compare income and price levels, the result is a more expensive life in Lithuania than in the United States. The bottom line is that the costs do not offset the lower income, and you get about 44.9 percent less.

However, it is also important to remember that this is a purely statistical model. Both the labor output and the type and quality of the goods received always correspond to the national average on both sides of the equation - so they do not necessarily have to match. Here you can also find an international comparison of cost of living and purchasing power.
