Today, the Reserve Bank released data relating to India’s International Investment Position for end-June 2025^[1].

Key Features of India’s IIP in end-June 2025:

• Net claims of non-residents on India declined by US$ 16.4 billion during Q1:2025-26 and stood at US$ 312.8 billion as at end-June 2025. It was mainly due to higher rise in Indian residents’ overseas financial assets (US$ 47.8 billion) as compared to the foreign-owned assets in India (US$ 31.4 billion) (Table 1).

• The ratio of India’s international assets to international liabilities improved to 79.2 per cent in June 2025 from 77.6 per cent a quarter ago and 71.5 per cent two years ago (Chart 1 & Table 1).

• The share of reserves in India’s international financial assets increased marginally to 58.7 per cent in June 2025. Reserve assets accounted for over 62 per cent of the rise in Indian residents’ overseas financial assets during the quarter; other major contributors were direct investments (17.6 per cent) and currency & deposits (6.7 per cent) (Table 2).

• Inward direct investment (45.5 per cent), loans (30.9 per cent) and currency & deposits (13.1 per cent) together constituted around 90 per cent of the rise in foreign liabilities of Indian residents during Q1:2025-26.

• The share of debt liabilities in total external liabilities declined marginally from 54.8 per cent to 54.5 per cent during the quarter (Table 3).
