 International Investment Position (IIP) StatisticsLast Updated: July 26, 2006 The international investment position (IIP) is the balance sheet of the stock of external financial assets and liabilities of an economy. The financial items that comprise the IIP consist of claims on nonresidents, liabilities to nonresidents, monetary gold, and SDRs. The IIP at the end of a specific period reflects financial transactions, valuation changes, and other adjustments that occurred during the period and affected the levels of assets and/or liabilities. Together, the balance of payments transactions and the international investment position constitute the set of international accounts for an economy. The following documents provide information on the development of IIP statistics.
