VILNIUS, Oct. 7 (Xinhua) -- Lithuania's gross domestic product (GDP) is expected to grow by 2.9 percent this year Nike Air Max 97 Undefeated Scontate , the mission of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) concluded on Tuesday.
According to Christoph Klingen, IMF mission chief for Lithuania, the country's economy managed to perform well in a difficult external environment.
"Despite some softening in the second half of 2014, momentum in domestic demand and favorable external competitiveness should ensure growth of 2.9 percent this year," said Klingen in a statement.
"A moderate pickup to 3.1 percent is expected for 2015 as external and credit conditions improve and as the reform efforts of the past few years bear fruit Nike Air Max Plus TN Ultra Scontate ," he added.
The Lithuanian Finance Ministry expects GDP growth to reach 2.9 percent this year and 3.4 percent in 2015.
The IMF mission praised Lithuania's efforts in establishing policy frameworks critical for eurozone membership and advancing legislation for fiscal policy over the business cycle, but also pointed out the challenges in seeking the repair of Lithuania's public finances.
"New demands on public finances, including for national security and compensation payments for crisis-induced pension and wage cuts, are complicating the task," said the chief of the IMF mission.
The Finance Ministry plans to achieve budget deficit of 1.2 percent of GDP next year.
