      <abstract>
        <p>The problem of national security is relevant to all countries of the world as it is an important condition for the country’s economic growth. This is confirmed by the World Economic Forum (WEF) distinguished risks of economic development, their interactions, threats and dangers on the global level. The aim of the article is to characterize the internal factors of Lithuanian national security which are related to the possibilities of economic threats and dangers. The method of basic indicator comparison is used; where as the first year (e.g., year 2007) of the analyzed period is selected as the base year. Both absolute and relative quantities of analyzed indices are compared.</p>
