India’s International Investment Position (IIP), September 2024

Today, the Reserve Bank released data relating to India’s International Investment Position for end-September 2024^[1].

Key Features of IIP in end-September 2024:

Net claims of non-residents on India declined by US$ 19.8 billion during Q2:2024-25 to US$ 348.5 billion in September 2024.
Higher rise in Indian residents’ overseas financial assets (US$ 66.5 billion) as compared to that in the foreign-owned assets in India (US$ 46.7 billion) led to the decline in net claims of non-residents during the quarter (Table 1).
Over 80 per cent of the increase in overseas financial assets during July-September 2024 was due to the surge of US$ 53.8 billion in the reserve assets.
Reserve assets had 63 per cent share in India’s total international financial assets in September 2024 (Table 2).
Rise in inward portfolio investment (US$ 16.5 billion) and loans (US$ 15.4 billion) together accounted for over two-thirds of the rise in foreign liabilities of Indian residents during the quarter.
Variation in the exchange rate of rupee vis-a-vis other currencies impacted the change in liabilities, when valued in US dollar terms.
The ratio of India’s international assets to international liabilities improved to 76.2 per cent in September 2024 from 74.1 per cent a quarter ago and 71.4 per cent a year ago.
The share of debt liabilities in total external liabilities increased to 52.7 per cent in September 2024 from 51.1 per cent a year ago (Table 3).
