With institution of key elements of the market mechanism in Lithuania’s economy, the role of the State had to be defined more precisely. Consequently, the following strategic documents outlining prospects of the development of the national economy sectors and setting priorities to ensure rapid growth of Lithuania’s economy and its competitiveness in the global market have been developed:
The Long-term Development Strategy of the State (LTDSS) is a strategic planning document that reflects the vision of the long-term development of the State based on the analysis of the economic, social, cultural and political situation. The LTDSS is one of the most significant planning documents, which is instrumental in making general and sectorial strategies of the State mutually consistent. The LTDSS outlines a vision of the long-term development of the State reflecting mutually consistent long-term development directions of all sectors of the national economy.
The Long-term Economic Development Strategy of Lithuania until 2015 is an integral part of the Long-term Development Strategy of the State. It sets forth long-term economic policy trends that are essential for acceleration of the national economy restructuring and also enabling adaptation to changes of the internal and international situation as well as maximum increase and effective use of the national economic potential.
The National Lisbon Strategy Implementation Programme. With a view to invigorate the European economic growth and to give a new impetus for European competitiveness enhancement, the Lisbon Strategy was developed in 2000. The first subsequent five years showed that the expected results were not attained. Therefore, in March 2005, the European Council reviewed the Lisbon Strategy and identified two priority areas: economic growth and promotion of employment. In March 2008, the European Council initiated a new three-year (2008–2010) cycle of implementation of the Lisbon Strategy. Accelerating implementation of reforms to ensure further growth and competitiveness enhancement was placed within the focus on the agenda. The Government of the Republic of Lithuania approved the National Lisbon Strategy Implementation Programme for 2008–2010 (hereinafter referred to as the Programme) by its Resolution No. 1047 adopted on 1 October 2008. The Programme identifies the goals for the national economy growth and employment promotion as well as their implementation measures. It also sets the key indicative targets and aspirations of Lithuania until 2010.
The Computerised Monitoring System of the Implementation of the National Long-term Development Strategy is a dynamic internet system, which enables monitoring of the implementation of the LTDSS and analysis of obtained results.
