Lithuania: Erste, 2.7% growth in 2019
Robust wage growth, but inflation under control
01 April, 16:46
(ANSA) - BELGRADE, APRIL 1 - Lithuania will continue to
experience a strong economic growth this year, but with a
slowdown expected in comparison the previous years, according to
an Erste Group 'macro outlook' made public today.
Economy is expected to slow down to 2.7% in 2019, Erste said,
adding that "despite robust wage growth, inflation remained
under control."
After contracting by almost 15% in 2009, the economy in
Lithuania reached its pre-crisis level already in 2014, Erste
recalled. In the last five years, it has expanded on average by
3.1%. Growth dynamics peaked in 2017 (+4.1% year on year)
supported by rebound of investments and strong private
consumption.
In 2018, monthly nominal wages increased by almost 10% year-on-year from 890 to 970 euro, Erste analysts said. (ANSA).
