Lithuania - Financial Crisis Survey 2010

This research was conducted in Lithuania in February-March 2010 as part of the second round of The Financial Crisis Survey. Data from 224 establishments from private nonagricultural formal sector was analyzed to quantify the effect of the 2008 global financial crisis on companies in Lithuania. Researchers revisited establishments interviewed in Lithuania Enterprise Survey 2009. Efforts were made to contact all respondents of the baseline survey to determine which of the companies were still operating and which were not. From the information collected during telephone interviews, indicators were computed to measure the effects of the financial crisis on key elements of the private economy: sales, employment, finances, and expectations of the future.
