Most Lithuanian-listed equities are denominated in EUR. International retail access is generally possible through European online brokers with Nasdaq Baltic connectivity (e.g., Interactive Brokers, Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken, Luminor, Swedbank). Settlement is via Nasdaq CSD. Liquidity on the exchange is relatively limited compared to major European bourses. There are no dedicated single-country Lithuania ETFs traded in the US; exposure is typically achieved through broad frontier or Eastern European regional ETFs.
