According to Zydrunas Valkeris, director general of Maxima LT, consumption started slowly growing as the Lithuanians got used to the currency, the euro.

In February, the sales of meat products, fish, eggs, frozen products, condiments groceries, canned food, animal care products and pet food, clothes and shoes, books, as well as seeds grew the most. The greatest impact on sales growth had a decline in retail prices for these products and seasonality.

The consumer confidence indicator by Statistics Lithuania also points to improving moods of consumers in Lithuania. The indicator plummeted down when the euro introduction plans were announced in August and September 2014, but is has been consistently growing for the last few months.
