“A unified and effective National Development Agency (NDA) will gather various financial instruments in one place, so it is very important to attract and retain professionals. NPI will contribute to the achievement of strategic state goals: creation of higher added value, strengthening of energy self-sufficiency. A strong, independent and politically independent board of the company will ensure the synergy of various financial instruments, the creation of new financial instruments, the attraction of new sources of financing, and the effective use of EU support,” noted Finance Minister Gintarė Skaistė.
According to the minister, this reform is one of the components of the “New Generation Lithuania” plan, which will help Lithuania achieve a breakthrough in the field of finance and create a more sustainable and resilient future economy.

Now there are four consolidated organizations under one roof with their own distinct cultures, areas of activity and services. The management team will need to turn all of this into a united organization with strong operational principles, common values and created value for the Lithuanian economy, says D.
