Consolidated opening financial statement of the Eurosystem as at 1 January 2015
Following the adoption of the euro by Lithuania, Lietuvos bankas joined the Eurosystem on 1 January 2015. The ECB is therefore publishing a consolidated opening financial statement of the Eurosystem as at 1 January 2015, which includes the balance sheet figures of Lietuvos bankas. Items previously denominated in Lithuanian litas have been moved from items “denominated in foreign currency” to items “denominated in euro”. Transactions and balances on accounts held with residents of Lithuania have been moved from “non-euro area” balance sheet items to “euro area” items. Furthermore, the item capital and reserves (liability item 12) has increased in comparison with that in the consolidated financial statement as at 31 December 2014 on account of the entry of Lietuvos bankas into the Eurosystem.
