What changed in the forecast?

The bank now expects Lithuania's economy to grow 2.90 percent in 2026 and 2.30 percent in 2027, according to Lrytas. The same report put average inflation at 5.30 percent in 2026 and 3.50 percent in 2027, making the bank's lower growth view relevant to household purchasing power, credit demand and repayment conditions.

Three dated developments

On April 27, 2026, Nasdaq Baltic listed Artea Bankas' dividend payment date. On October 1, 2026, Simply Wall St reported that analysts lowered the fair value target from EUR 1.40 to EUR 1.15. The October 8 forecast revision is the current development.

What does the revision mean?

The shift from 3.30 percent to 2.90 percent is a 0.40 percentage-point reduction in the 2026 growth assumption. For a bank, slower economic expansion can weigh on loan demand and fee activity, although the published forecast also expects 9.50 percent wage growth in 2026 and 7.80 percent in 2027, which may support household finances.
