To reduce problematic areas in Lithuania’s foreign trade, the trade balance deficit ought to be decreased by means of export stimulation. This calls for changes in trade conditions: the expansion of export zones, an improvement of the country’s image, the reduction of trade risk by fostering cooperation, the establishment of an effective business insurance system, and the improvement of financing conditions. To improve the structure of exports, it is necessary to switch from theenergy and labour intensive sectors to those that create higher value-added goods by utilizing the intellectual potential of the country and by investing in scientific research. To improve export infrastructure its dependence on the import of raw materials ought to be decreased by exploiting local renewable energy sources. Stimulating the consumption of Lithuanian goods and services is also of great importance.
