Almost 50% of state    property has been privatized and trade is diversifying with a gradual    shift away from the former Soviet Union to Western markets. In    addition, the Lithuanian government has adhered to a disciplined    budgetary and financial policy which has brought inflation down from a    monthly average of around 14% in first half 1993 to an average of 3.1%    in 1994. Nevertheless, the process has been painful with industrial    output in 1993 less than half the 1991 level. The economy appeared to    have bottomed out in 1994, and Vilnius's policies have laid the    groundwork for vigorous recovery over the next few years. Recovery    will build on Lithuanian's strategic location with its ice-free port    at Klaipeda and its rail and highway hub in Vilnius connecting it with    Eastern Europe, Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine, and on its agriculture    potential, highly skilled labor force, and diversified industrial    sector. Lacking important natural resources, it will remain dependent    on imports of fuels and raw materials.       National product: GDP - purchasing power parity - $13.5 billion (1994    estimate as extrapolated from World Bank estimate for 1992)       National product real growth rate: -0.5% (1994 est.)       National product per capita: $3,500 (1994 est.)       Inflation rate (consumer prices): 3.1% (monthly average 1994)       Unemployment rate: 4.5% (January 1995)       Budget:    revenues: $258.5 million    expenditures: $270.2 million, including capital expenditures of $NA    (1992 est.)       Exports: $2.2 billion (1994)    commodities: electronics 18%, petroleum products 5%, food 10%,    chemicals 6% (1989)    partners: Russia, Ukraine, Germany       Imports: $2.7 billion (1994)    commodities: oil 24%, machinery 14%, chemicals 8%, grain NA% (1989)    partners: Russia, Germany, Belarus       External debt: $NA       Industrial production: growth rate -52% (1992); accounts for 35% of    GDP       Electricity:    capacity: 6,190,000 kW    production: 18.9 billion kWh    consumption per capita: 4,608 kWh (1993)       Industries: industry's share in the economy has been declining    substantially over the past year, due to the economic crisis and the    growth of services in the economy; among branches which are still    important: metal-cutting machine tools 6.6%, electric motors 4.6%,    television sets 6.2%, refrigerators and freezers 5.4%; other branches:    petroleum refining, shipbuilding (small ships), furniture making,    textiles, food processing, fertilizers, agricultural machinery,    optical equipment, electronic components, computers, and amber       Agriculture: employs around 18% of labor force; accounts for 25% of    GDP; sugar, grain, potatoes, sugar beets, vegetables, meat, milk,    dairy products, eggs, fish; most developed are the livestock and dairy    branches, which depend on imported grain; net exporter of meat, milk,    and eggs       Illicit drugs: transshipment point for illicit drugs from Central and    Southwest Asia and Latin America to Western Europe; limited producer    of illicit opium; mostly for domestic consumption       Economic aid:    recipient: US commitments, including Ex-Im (1992), $10 million;    Western (non-US) countries, ODA and OOF bilateral commitments    (1970-86), $NA million; Communist countries (1971-86), $NA million       Currency: introduced the convertible litas in June 1993       Exchange rates: litai per US$1 - 4 (fixed rate 1 May 1994)       Fiscal year: calendar year       Lithuania:Transportation       Railroads:    total: 2,010 km    broad gauge: 2,010 km 1.524-m gauge (120 km electrified) (1990)       Highways:    total: 44,200 km    paved: 35,500 km    unpaved: earth 8,700 km (1990)       Inland waterways: 600 km perennially navigable       Pipelines: crude oil, 105 km; natural gas 760 km (1992)       Ports: Kaunas, Klaipeda       Merchant marine:    total: 44 ships (1,000 GRT or over) totaling 275,893 GRT/321,440 DWT    ships by type: bulk 1, cargo 28, combination bulk 11, railcar carrier    3, roll-on/roll-off cargo 1       Airports:    total: 96    with paved runways over 3,047 m: 3    with paved runways 2,438 to 3,047 m: 2    with paved runways 1,524 to 2,437 m: 4    with paved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 2    with paved runways under 914 m: 14    with unpaved runways 2,438 to 3,047 m: 1    with unpaved runways 1,524 to 2,438 m: 1    with unpaved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 6    with unpaved runways under 914 m: 63       Lithuania:Communications       Telephone system: 900,000 telephones; 240 telephones/1,000 persons;    telecommunications system ranks among the most modern of the former    Soviet republics    local: NA    intercity: land lines and microwave radio relay    international: international connections no longer depend on the    Moscow gateway switch, but are established by satellite through Oslo    from Vilnius and through Copenhagen from Kaunas; 1 EUTELSAT and 1    INTELSAT earth station; an NMT-450 analog cellular network operates in    Vilnius and other cities and is linked internationally through    Copenhagen by EUTELSAT; international electronic mail is available;    land lines or microwave to former USSR republics       Radio:    broadcast stations: AM 13, FM 26, shortwave 1, longwave 1    radios: NA       Television:    broadcast stations: 3    televisions: NA       Lithuania:Defense Forces       Branches: Ground Forces, Navy, Air and Air Defense Force, Security    Forces (internal and border troops), National Guard (Skat)       Manpower availability: males age 15-49 949,663; males fit for military    service 750,386; males reach military age (18) annually 27,630 (1995    est.)       Defense expenditures: exchange rate conversion - $30 million, 2% of    GDP (1994); note - for 1995 defense expenditures were $54 million at    exchange rate conversion
