摘要:In 2005, according to preliminary estimates, the GDP created in Lithuania made up
LTL 71,001 million (at current prices) or LTL 20,563 per capita. Over the year, real GDP
increased by 7.5 per cent at constant prices of 2000, and the economic growth was
primarily underpinned by strong domestic demand supported by growing income, low
interest rates, intensive bank lending and increasing employment. The economic growth
was also influenced by a more robust growth of exports compared to two previous
years. Dynamic developments associated with strong economic activity were also
observed in the labour market: as available labour force decreased and employment
increased simultaneously, the rate of unemployment dropped significantly in 2005.
