Gross domestic product (GDP), estimated on the basis of available statistical data and econometric models, in 2009 made LTL 92450.2 million at current prices and, against 2008, dropped by 15.0 per cent (the changes have been estimated using a chain-linked volume of the value added), Statistics Lithuania informs.

In 2009, an inconsiderable increase of the value added was observed only in agriculture, forestry and fishery (1.6 per cent). The largest decrease of the value added was recorded in construction (43.3 per cent), trade, transport and communication services (17.3 per cent), industry and energy (14.4 per cent) sectors. A slower decrease in the value added was observed in public administration and defence, education, health care and social work (1.8 per cent).

 

In IV quarter 2009, GDP made LTL 23898.3 million at current prices, which is by 13 per cent less than in IV quarter 2008.

 

In 2009, per capita GDP at current prices made LTL 27685, in IV quarter 2009 – LTL 7156.

In IV quarter 2009, against IV quarter 2008, seasonally and working day adjusted, GDP decreased by 13 per cent, while against III quarter of the same year it increased by 0.1 per cent.


Revised Q3 2009 GDP

Statistics Lithuania, based on more detailed quarterly data and having estimated the value added by a more detailed list of economic activities, revised the second GDP estimate for III quarter 2009. According to the revised data, GDP in III quarter 2009 at current prices made LTL 23799.3 million and, as compared with III quarter 2008, decreased by 14.2 per cent (the previously released second GDP estimate equalled LTL 23953.7 million, and its drop rate made up 14.2 per cent).
