The International Investment Position (IIP) is the statement of the stock of external financial assets and liabilities of a country. The financial assets consist of the country's financial claims on non-residents and financial liabilities consist of the country's financial liabilities to non-residents. These transactions are classified according to institutional resident sectors, namely, monetary authority, government, banks, and other sectors including corporate sector. The net international investment position (the stock of external financial assets less the stock of external financial liabilities) shows the difference between what an economy owns in relation to what it owes.
As per the Special Data Dissemination Standard (SDDS) of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), data on IIP are to be disseminated on annual basis (quarterly encouraged) with a time lag of two quarters. In India, since the quarter end-June 2006 onwards, the IIP is being disseminated on quarterly basis with a lag of less than two quarters.
The quarterly IIP of India as at end-June 2008 has been summarized below:
The net IIP (Assets - Liabilities) of India as at end-June 2008 resulting in net claim of non-residents on India, declined by US$ 3.39 billion to US$ 49.12 billion from a level of US$ 52.51 billion as at end-March 2008. The total external financial assets declined by US$ 3.81 billion to US$ 377.63 billion as at end-June 2008 over the previous quarter mainly due to decrease in external loan extended through NOSTRO Accounts by the banking sector to the tune of US$ 8.46 billion. Among the other components of external financial assets, the Reserve Assets registered an increase of US$ 2.37 billion over the end-March 2008 and stood at US$ 312.09 billion at end-June 2008. Direct Investment abroad increased by US$ 2.02 billion during the same period and was at US$ 48.21 billion as at end-June 2008.
The total external financial liabilities declined by US$ 7.2 billion over the previous quarter and stood at US$ 426.76 billion as at end-June 2008. This declined was mainly attributed to outflow by FIIs from Portfolio equity investment during April-June 2008 and also effect of valuation changes. Direct Investment in India increased by US$ 4.03 billion at end-June 2008 over end- March 2008. Further, trade credits, component of 'Other Investment' in India, increased by US$ 2.06 billion during end-June 2008 over end-March 2008, mainly due to increase in short term trade credit (US$ 2.17 billion). The Reserve Assets stood at US$ 312.09 billion exceeding the entire external debt (US$ 221.30 billion*) by US$ 90.79 billion as at end-June 2008.
