Country characteristics

Lithuania is situated on the eastern coast of the Baltic Sea and covers 65,300 km² which is roughly the same size as Belgium. Lithuania is the largest of the three Baltic countries.

Lithuania has a population of 3.7 million. The landscape is shaped by the glacial times and is very similar to that of Denmark. Approximately 30 per cent of the country is covered by woods. The largest river, the Nemunas, gathers and carries the waters of many tributaries to the Baltic Sea wherein lies Lithuania's famous "amber coast". It has 99 km of coastline.

Lithuania has a functioning and viable market economy which is back on track of growth and financial stability after the trade shock in the aftermath of Russian financial crisis.

In 2000, the GDP grew by 3.3 per cent. The GDP per capita in Lithuania in 2000 was USD 3039 (EUR 3.382). Inflation was 1.4 per cent in the year 2000. National average unemployment rate was 11.5 per cent the same year.

The economy in Lithuania experienced a decrease in investment in the recent years. According to national accounts, the share of total fixed gross capital formation comprised:

24.4 per cent of GDP in 1998,

22.7 per cent in 1999

and, by preliminary data, 20.7 per cent in 2000.

This was mainly due to profound reduction in public sector investment activities which, measured as public material investment, have fallen from LTL 720 million (EUR 200 million) in 1998 to LTL 117 million (EUR 32 million) in 2000.

According to the principles of the new Government, the public investment activities shall be gradually restricted to financing Government priorities (free market economy, restructuring, privatisation, promotion of foreign investment, high-tech and IT orientation), mainly for infrastructure development purposes.

Lithuania has applied for EU membership. The accession to the EU requires that Lithuania in the future allocates considerable financial resources to fulfil the EU legislation. Estimates of the costs for the implementation of EU requirements in Lithuania for this are given in the table below:

Item	Investment, million EUR
Air	10
Water Supply	200
Waste water	290
Waste	137

The present Constitution of the Republic of Lithuania was adopted on October 25, 1992.

The Republic of Lithuania is headed by the President and the Government, while the lawmaking body is Seimas which has 141 members.

Municipalities manage and maintain their environment, municipal economy, provide communal services to local inhabitants and perform other functions provided for in the Law on Local Self-Government of the Republic of Lithuania.

Counties implement state and inter-regional programmes.
