Lithuania has made serious efforts in recent years to improve its investment climate. This report has attempted to capture as much as possible the achievements of those efforts as well as the shortcomings that remain. The general picture in 2004 was of impressively rapid progress in the previous two to three years. Yet Lithuania remains unable to attract significant amounts of foreign direct investment. Its small market with limited purchasing power, and its record as a slow reformer in the 1990s compared with peer countries, may be objective constraints. The report findings highlight impressive improvements in Lithuania's investment climate in the past few years, and conclude with a list of recommended actions for improving Lithuania's investment climate. 2012-06-20T19:47:32Z 2012-06-20T19:47:32Z 2005-05 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2005/05/5822719/lithuania-investment-climate-assessment http://hdl.handle.net/10986/8568 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work :: Investment Climate Assessment (ICA) Economic & Sector Work Europe and Central Asia Europe Commonwealth of Independent States Eastern Europe Lithuania
