Investors’ Forum News

Transparency is not solely a matter for the state or for business. It is a shared principle that determines whether our institutions function effectively and whether companies operate reliably. When the public sector chooses transparency, it saves all of us money and time. When business does so, it secures its reputation and long-term growth. So it does not matter whether results are measured in terms of the state budget or in profit margins. In both cases, the same rule applies – transparency is an investment that pays off.

Asking the right questions is crucial in life. In Lithuania, we could more often ask ourselves – “how can I earn more?”

To the new Government, we propose three strategic directions and the support of the Investors’ Forum in each of them, aiming to make everyone more prosperous.

The conditions for economic activity across the globe today are highly volatile, unstable, and unpredictable. In such circumstances, it is crucial for Lithuania to invest in security, strengthen capital markets, and create an environment where innovation can grow, while businesses should focus not only on short-term goals but also on resilience and long-term vision.

The recently concluded spring session of the Seimas was full of contrasts, and the legislation passed by Parliament leaves a mixed impression. On the one hand, there were forward-thinking decisions aimed at modernizing and strengthening our economy. On the other, there were changes that could wipe out all positive progress in one stroke.

Forty Lithuanian organizations—uniting patients, doctors, citizens, and businesses—have addressed the leaders and members of the Seimas (Parliament). They urge the Parliament to reject proposed legislation that would ban additional co-payments for state-funded healthcare services.

Associations Investors’ Forum, Unicorns Lithuania, the Confederation of Lithuanian Industrialists, and the Lithuanian Business Confederation today submitted an official appeal to the Ethics and Procedures Committee of the Lithuanian Parliament, requesting an investigation into potential violations of the Parliament’s statute and the Basic Law on Legislation, committed by the Budget and Finance Committee during the consideration of legislative proposals related to tax reform.
