India’s International Investment Position (IIP), September 2023

Today, the Reserve Bank released data relating to India’s International Investment Position for end-September 2023[1].

Key Features of India’s IIP in end-September 2023:

Net claims of non-residents on India rose marginally during Q2:2023-24 to US$ 380.9 billion in September 2023.
Foreign-owned financial assets in India recorded higher increase (US$ 7.4 billion) vis-à-vis Indian residents’ overseas financial assets (US$ 6.0 billion), which led to the increase in net claims of non-residents (Table 1).
Indian residents’ foreign assets increased during July-September 2023 due to rise in currency and deposits as well as overseas direct investment, even though reserve assets and loans declined during the quarter.
Despite some reduction in direct investment liabilities, India’s total foreign liabilities rose during Q2:2023-24 due to increase in portfolio and other investments.
Reserve assets accounted for 63.0 per cent of India’s international financial assets at end-September 2023 (Table 2).
Variation in the exchange rate of the Indian rupee vis-à-vis other currencies impacted the change in liabilities, when valued in US dollar terms.
The ratio of India’s international financial assets to international financial liabilities improved to 71.0 per cent in September 2023 (68.7 per cent a year ago).
The share of debt liabilities in total external liabilities rose marginally to 50.3 per cent in September 2023 (49.8 per cent a year ago) (Table 3)
