Contactless payments are gaining prominence in Lithuania, with the implementation of contactless payment systems for public transport. In March 2023, Klaipeda Public Transport partnered with the Estonian technology company Ridango to enhance the former’s ticketing system with contactless payment capabilities. Similarly, in August 2024, the capital city Vilnius implemented a contactless payment system for its public transportation network. This system allows passengers to use their bank cards, smartphones, and smartwatches to pay for bus and trolleybus rides without the need for physical tickets or cash. By adopting this payment method, Vilnius is taking a major step toward modernizing its infrastructure and creating a more-efficient and user-friendly public transport system.
The Government of Lithuania implemented a plan starting from March 2024 and concluding in 2028 to develop and strengthen financial literacy and entrepreneurship competencies among both the young and adult populations of Lithuania, as well as SMEs. For the young population, the plan includes incorporating financial literacy and entrepreneurship competencies into general education from preschool to secondary education. The plan also aims to address financial literacy among the adult population. To achieve this, a two-year financial literacy program for adults will be created, alongside information campaigns designed to promote it. A national financial literacy exam will also be organized.
