India’s International Investment Position (IIP), December 20171
March, 29th 2018

Today, the Reserve Bank released data relating to India’s international investment position (IIP) as at end-December 2017.

Key Features of India’s IIP in December 2017

  • Net claims of non-residents on India increased by US$ 26.3 billion over the previous quarter (Table 1).

  • Foreign-owned assets in India surged by US$ 38.6 billion during the quarter, with broad-based contribution from foreign direct investment (FDI), portfolio investment, currency and deposits as well as trade credit; outstanding commercial loans, however, declined marginally during the quarter.

  • Indian residents’ overseas assets increased by US$ 12.3 billion over the level in the previous quarter, a substantial portion of which came from increase in the reserve assets.

  • Appreciation of Indian rupee against the US dollar (by 2.2 per cent) during the quarter partly explained the increase in India’s liabilities when valued in US dollar terms.

  • While reserve assets accounted for over two-thirds of India’s international assets, debt and non-debt liabilities had an almost equal share in total liabilities (Table 2 and 3).

  • The ratio of India’s international financial assets to international financial liabilities stood at 58.6 per cent at end-December 2017 (59.6 per cent a quarter ago).
