Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper was to assess the competitiveness of Lithuanian trade with non-EU countries during the years 2005–2016. This assessment was based on three outcome measures determining the position of a country in foreign trade: revealed comparative advantage, import coverage, and the intensity of intra-industry trade. Indicators were estimated for all commodity sections. The analysis used data from the Lithuanian Statistics Department and Eurostat. The study shows that Lithuania has a weak competitive position in trade with third countries only in two groups of commodities: raw materials and mineral fuels.
