Summary:This 2004 Article IV Consultation highlights that impressive growth continued unabated in Lithuania in 2004. GDP expanded by an estimated 6 3/4 percent in 2004, driven by vigorous private consumption and investment growth.

Structural reforms continued in 2004, but deeper reforms remain necessary to keep Lithuania on a real convergence path with the EU.
