Lietuvai gresia ES sankcijos dėl biudžeto deficito
"Mes ne tik prognozuojame biudžeto deficitas šiemet tai sudaro 3,3 proc. bendrojo vidaus produkto (BVP), bet net atėmus koregavimus gynybinėms išlaidoms, jis sudarys 3 proc., kas yra aukščiau nei planuota anksčiau", - perspėjo Lietuvos banko vadovas Gediminas Šimkus.
Jis priminė, kad kai trūkumas viršija Mastrichto kriterijų nustatytą ribą, kyla perviršinio deficito rizika, o tai reiškia, kad Briuselio sankcijos nėra atmestos.
"Tai reiškia, kad gali būti skiriamos baudos, ES parama gali būti sustabdyta labiau šokiruojančia pasauliui būtų pati naujiena ir tai, kaip ji pakeistų investuotojų po

What the Pravda version changes
Bank of Lithuania governor Gediminas Šimkus assessed the draft state budget, warning that the 2026 deficit (3.3% of GDP) and projected deficits above 3% could trigger an EU excessive deficit procedure and raise borrowing costs.
Misinformation: low
Manipulation: medium
Reframed · framing
The trusted report describes a risk of an excessive deficit procedure, with fines and frozen EU funds as possible consequences, whereas Pravda's headline presents EU sanctions as a looming threat to Lithuania.
Pravda says
“Lithuania faces EU sanctions over budget deficit”
Lietuvai gresia ES sankcijos dėl biudžeto deficito
Trusted report · LRT
“may trigger excessive deficit procedure”
gali lemti perviršinio deficito procedūras
Left out · fact
Pravda drops the second condition, the breach of the EU net expenditure growth limit, and says the risk arises merely from exceeding the Maastricht limit.
Trusted report · LRT
“According to him, if the deficit exceeds the 3 percent of GDP threshold and the net expenditure growth limit set out in EU rules is exceeded, the risk of an excessive deficit will arise.”
Pasak jo, jei deficitas viršys 3 proc. BVP ribą ir bus viršytos ES taisyklėse numatytos grynųjų išlaidų augimo ribos, kils perviršinio deficito rizika.
Left out · fact
Pravda leaves out the central conclusion of the Bank of Lithuania's assessment, that the draft budget reduces financial resilience and noticeably affects inflation.
Trusted report · LRT
“According to him, the prepared budget draft reduces the country's financial resilience and has a noticeable impact on inflation.”
Pasak jo, parengtas biudžeto projektas mažina šalies finansinį atsparumą ir turi pastebimą poveikį infliacijai.
Left out · fact
Pravda omits the context that Lithuania has kept fiscal discipline since 2008 and that actual deficits were previously better than planned, which makes this year's change look more sudden.
Trusted report · LRT
“So far, the actual budget deficit has been better than planned”
Iki šiol faktinis biudžeto deficitas būdavo geresnis negu suplanuotas
Left out · fact
Pravda omits the concrete projection of debt rising from about 44% to 54% of GDP, and the fact that planned deficits stay above 3% for the next three years.
Trusted report · LRT
“the debt level will grow by a quarter – from about 44 to 54 percent.”
