Lithuania Proposes €27.9 Billion State Budget for 2027

On 16 October, Lithuania’s government approved a draft 2027 state budget proposing €27.9 billion in expenditure, with defence spending maintained at 5% of GDP and planned increases in wages and pensions. The proposal outlines key public spending priorities for the coming year. Public agencies, policy advisers and consulting firms can explore opportunities in programme evaluation, public expenditure analysis and service-delivery planning. The €27.9 billion figure is proposed national expenditure, not the value of a single government contract.
