- We can see the healthy economic growth and also that the post-crisis reforms are giving positive effects. The economic growth correlated with the significant drop of the number of people unemployed, it means that the Lithuanian economy is more resistant. - stated Julie Kozak, the head of the IMF mission in Lithuania.
However, the IMF states that the Lithuanian government should pay attention to Lithuanian economic openness, because it could bond economy with new trade partners and in consequence Lithuania can be more vulnerable to the influence from the outside.
The IMF states that it is necessary to increase the stability of the financial sector and it is also a must that the all political players would support the idea of the joining euro zone.
