Real effective exchange rate index PX.REX.REER

Overview
Lithuania's real effective exchange rate stood at 114.90 in 2026, a rise of +1.33 from 2025. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 116.19 by 2027. Lithuania ranked 50th globally.
Lithuania’s real effective exchange rate (REER) has risen sharply over the 33‑year series, moving from a trough of 40.68 in 1994 to an all‑time peak of 114.90 in 2026, placing the country at rank 50 globally. The long‑run appreciation reflects cumulative effects of fiscal consolidation, structural reforms and the adoption of the euro, which have enhanced price competitiveness while also transmitting external price pressures. Compared with its nearest peers, Lithuania’s REER is marginally below Hungary’s 115.03 and above North Macedonia’s 114.45, indicating a comparable level of external valuation among small open economies. The upward trajectory suggests that further euro‑area integration and sustained export growth could keep the REER near its current high, although a slowdown in global demand or a depreciation of the euro could reverse the trend and improve price competitiveness.
