Baltic becomes a financial Eldorado / day

At the moment, it is almost clear that the location of neighboring Russia may hinder investment flows in the Baltic States, but these flows cannot be stopped altogether. What’s more, the constant shadow of threats we feel from the Eastern neighbor’s country has not been able to fade the mood of investors working in the Baltic markets, and our region has become a place where you can get a very high profitability of investment.

This is contrary to the gloomy mood that prevails in Latvian society and in the information space. Perhaps the exaggerated pessimism has been the reason why, unlike Estonia and Lithuania, our stock exchange index has experienced in the five months of this year, albeit a small but still fall, declining a quarter percent during the reference period.

It has to be said that not only the psychological background, but also the corporate environment in Latvia is quite different from the two Baltic neighbors. We are quite negligible on the stock exchange, while in both Lithuania and Estonia, raising capital through stock emissions is gradually becoming a common norm. As a result, investors in our Baltic neighbors, including investors from Latvia, have a wider choice of investment. This is one of the reasons why the first five months of this year in Lithuania and Estonia have been crowned with a rise in a percentage of two -digit: almost 20%in Estonia, less than 13%in Lithuania.
