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.
A new production line or energy project often starts with a shareholder loan. In Lithuania, however, interest on financing provided even on market terms may not be deductible for corporate income tax purposes. Investors’ Forum is calling for the repeal of a rule in force since 2003 that makes investment more expensive and increases uncertainty for businesses.
All national business associations and several sectoral business associations are urging the Government to strengthen Lithuania’s air connectivity with key EU and NATO capitals. The appeal “Lithuania Is Not an Island”, initiated by Investors’ Forum, emphasises that good connectivity boosts investment, exports and security.
It could become easier for companies to modernise, individuals to invest in startups, and growing businesses to secure funding for their next stage of expansion. Three bills under consideration in the Lithuanian Parliament (Seimas) could open up these opportunities. Investors’ Forum, an association bringing together the largest and most active investors in Lithuania’s economy, supports their direction and proposes improvements to strengthen Lithuania’s competitiveness and help create well-paid jobs.
Dear members of the association, colleagues,
With each passing year, we become even more convinced that stability is a luxury that is increasingly difficult to expect in today’s world. The year 2025 proved this to us once again: geopolitical tensions, to put it very diplomatically, have not subsided, and the winds of change have been blowing particularly strongly in Lithuania’s political and social spheres. The government changed, faces and rhetoric changed, but one thing remained unshakeable – the investor community’s determination and faith in Lithuania’s future.
