Slower rises in private spending plus declines in fixed investment and exports saw annual GDP growth halve between Q1 and Q2. Available data suggests the Baltic giant pressed on the gas in Q3. In July–August, a rise in manufacturing drove a jump in industrial output growth from Q2. Moreover, low inflation and healthier consumer confidence drove a faster increase in retail sales in the same two-month period, hinting at more upbeat private spending. On the external front, goods exports bounced back sharply in July–August from Q2, suggesting firmer external demand. In politics, parliamentary elections on 13 October resulted in the center-right Homeland Union, the far-right Nemunas Dawn and the Social Democrats all securing around 15–20% of the vote; the latter is likely to form a government, though much depends on the outcome of the district-level runoff vote on 27 October.
