Lithuania

Lithuania's dollar economy has grown 8.2 times since 2000, from US$11.6 billion to US$95.2 billion in 2025, carrying it from 87th to 80th in the world. It held 80th place last year, between Venezuela and Belarus.

US$ GDP rose 11.4%, well ahead of real growth of +2.9%; the gap was mostly exchange-rate and price effects, not output. Services make up 64.8% of output, industry 22.1% and agriculture 2.3%, with manufacturing at 13.1%. Inflation stood at 3.8% and unemployment at 6.7%, while government gross debt is 39.5% of GDP.

With 2.9 million people, Lithuania produces GDP per capita of US$32,959, 43rd in the world, and 40th on a PPP basis. The economy is about the size of the Buffalo, NY metro area. The IMF projects GDP of US$128.2 billion by 2030, a +35% rise, with a forecast ranking of 80th.
