At the end of February 2004, international reserves made up LTL 9,036.2 million (EUR 2,617.1 million, USD 3,269.9 million). In the course of one month they decreased by LTL 330.4 million, i.e. 3.5 per cent.
The main reason behind the decrease was the operations of the Bank of Lithuania with central government institutions, which pushed the reserves down by LTL 174.0 million. A factor reducing international reserves was the net sale of foreign exchange to commercial banks of LTL 155.4 million and the decline of repurchase transactions with non-residents of LTL 32.2 million. Reserves were pushed up in February by an LTL 13.0 million increase in commercial bank required reserves in foreign exchange and net inflows of the Bank of Lithuania from investment in foreign currencies.
