V. Janulevičius addressed the Lithuanian press on Tuesday, stating that while there is optimism regarding the economic future, the current focus must shift from making declarations to ensuring concrete implementation. He emphasized that empty rhetoric is insufficient; tangible action is required to support the growth of the Lithuanian economy.
According to Janulevičius, key measures necessary for economic advancement revolve around stimulating investment, fostering innovation, and bolstering the nation’s overall competitiveness. He referenced the existing incentive structure, such as the tax relief for reinvested profits (ELTA), as a crucial element intended to encourage private capital. However, Janulevičius stressed a critical distinction regarding policy promises.
He pointed out that while certain incentives, like the reinvestment tax relief mentioned within the Government Programme, are included, they currently represent promises rather than established commitments. Consequently, he expressed hope that these stated intentions will be formalized and incorporated into the new Government Programme. The sentiment conveyed was that the discourse surrounding economic policy must transition from discussion to demonstrable execution.
For the stated goals—boosting investment and improving competitiveness—the focus cannot remain solely on what might be promised, but must center entirely on the mechanisms and timelines for actual implementation. This emphasis suggests that policy assurance alone is insufficient without clear, actionable steps being taken.
