Lithuania Astonishing Financial Markets

Investment funds, banks, and insurance companies, which usually invest in Western Europe countries, are attracted by Lithuania.

International financial and business publications has named the emission as unprecedented. “International Financing Review” has reported that world-known investors and purchasers of securities are attracted by the new EU member, which is not a Eurozone country yet, more than by the old members.
