Lithuania's foreign direct investment inflows have experienced significant fluctuations over the past three decades. At its peak in 1998, the country attracted 8.14 billion US dollars in FDI, reflecting a period of rapid economic growth and integration into the global economy. However, the 2009 financial crisis led to a sharp decline, with FDI inflows plummeting to -0.96 billion US dollars, the lowest recorded value. Since then, Lithuania has steadily recovered, with FDI inflows reaching 3.96 billion US dollars in 2025, ranking the country 70th globally in terms of FDI attractiveness. This growth trajectory is comparable to that of its peer countries, such as the Slovak Republic, which attracted 4.07 billion US dollars in FDI in 2025. To continue this positive trend, Lithuania would need to maintain its business-friendly environment and competitiveness, particularly in areas such as innovation and trade facilitation.
