About this data
The international investment position (IIP) is a statistical statement that provides a systematic summary of the accumulated value of an economy’s financial assets in other countries and its liabilities to residents of other countries at the end of a specific time period. The difference between assets and liabilities is the net international investment position and represents either a net claim on, or a net liability to, the rest of the world. Data are shown by categories of investment, such as direct investment, portfolio investment, and reserve assets, each with expanded detail available. Understanding the types of investment held by foreign owners can shed light on the vulnerability of an economy to changes in external market conditions. This dataset presents economies compiling international investment position statistics in accordance with the 6th edition of the Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual published by the IMF (BPM6), providing strong cross-country comparability. As such the main purpose of this dataset is to provide relevant, reliable, consistent, comparable and timely aggregate quarterly international investment position statistics for analytical purposes. Nevertheless there are some deviations from standard definitions that are indicated in notes (see « i » attached to series). In the international investment position, for net value, a positive sign indicates a net stock from the domestic economy to the rest of the world (a lending to, or claim on, the rest of the world) and a negative sign, a net stock from the rest of the world to the domestic economy (i.e. a net borrowing from the rest of the world). At the level of the sub items (investment abroad, investment in the reporting economy etc.), a positive sign indicates a stock of assets (claims) of the sub item under consideration and a negative sign a stock of liabilities. These conventions are imposed by the BPM6. The dataflow covers : all OECD member countries, G20 economies and a selection of non-member economies. The currency unit used for all series is: Millions of US dollars or Millions of National Currency. OECD statistics contact: stat.contact@oecd.org http://www.oecd.org/sdd
