Overview
Lithuania's credit to gdp stood at 34.57% in 2025, a decline of +1.39% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 34.57% by 2025. Lithuania ranked 87th globally.
Lithuania’s credit‑to‑GDP ratio has contracted sharply over the 16‑year span from 2010 to 2025, falling from the all‑time peak of 59.41 % in 2010 to a trough of 34.39 % in 2023 and reaching 34.57 % in 2025, placing the country 87th in the global ranking. The decline reflects a sustained reduction in external borrowing and a shift toward fiscal consolidation after the post‑global‑financial‑crisis expansion. By contrast, peers such as Uzbekistan (34.20 %) and Indonesia (35.01 %) are clustered at similar levels, suggesting a broader regional moderation in leverage. The steepest drop occurred between 2010 and 2023, a period that also saw Lithuania’s integration into the eurozone and the implementation of stricter macro‑prudential policies, which likely constrained credit growth. If domestic demand remains robust and the banking sector continues to diversify funding sources, the credit‑to‑GDP ratio may stabilise around the current low‑mid‑30 % range, but any resurgence in investment or fiscal stimulus could lift the trajectory modestly.
