Investors‘ Forum mission is to improve the business environment and investment climate in Lithuania, through cooperation with public institutions and the business community.
Investors‘ Forum members should comply with membership criteria and Business Ethics Statement. Investors‘ Forum is financed entirely by the contributions of its members.
On the 6th of January, 2023 The President of Lithuania signed the amendments to the laws regulating commercial and safe shipping initiated by the Ministry of Transport. For these amendments in 2022 July 22 Investors’ Forum provided comments. We are glad that the new project answers the questions we raised regarding the regulation of the sale and purchase of ships.
Investors‘ expectations are more moderate in this quarter. The value of the index fell slightly last quarter and fell further this quarter again. The results of this quarter reflect investors’ expectations after the start of the war in Ukraine and in the context of other challenging events. The value of the index fell slightly compared to the previous quarter (1.057) and currently stands at 1.025. On the other hand, comparing the value of the index with the same period a year ago, the change is significant. In the second quarter of last year, the value of the index was the highest since 2017. However, when the index value is greater than one, investors have more positive than negative expectations.
Dear colleagues, esteemed members of the Association,
As I was preparing to address you again and begin an overview of last year’s Investors ’Forum activities, I returned to the words I wrote last year and a somewhat ironic smile appeared on my face. Last year I noted that we have every reason to remain optimistic. As the pandemic recedes and lives return to more normal, we have an impressive year of recovery and growth ahead.
Investors‘ expectations are more moderate in this quarter. The value of the index fell slightly last quarter and fell further this quarter again. The index reached the value it had after the first quarantine in 2020. On the other hand, the value of the index remains above 1, meaning investors have more positive than negative expectations. At the beginning of the year, the index stands at 1,057 out of a 2 possible. For comparison, the value of the index was 1,139 last quarter. The best-valued areas that strengthen Lithuania’s attractiveness for investment are telecommunications, transport and logistics infrastructure, and employees’ foreign language skills.
