India’s International Investment Position (IIP), December 2018

Today, the Reserve Bank released data relating to India’s International Investment Position at end-December 2018.

Key Features of India’s IIP in December 2018

  • Net claims of non-residents on India increased by US$ 44.3 billion from their level a quarter ago (Table 1).

  • The increase in net claims was due to a pick-up in foreign-owned assets in India after three consecutive quarters of contraction, combined with a marginal decline in Indian residents’ financial assets abroad.

  • The large increase in foreign-owned assets in India emanated from inward foreign direct investment (FDI), followed by portfolio investment and currency and deposits.

  • Overseas financial assets of Indian residents declined during the quarter, mainly due to reduction in reserve assets, even as overseas direct investment increased during the period.

  • Appreciation of the Indian rupee against the US dollar during the quarter contributed substantially to the increase in net claims of non-residents valued in US dollar terms.

  • Despite a decline during the quarter, reserve assets accounted for nearly two-thirds of India’s international financial assets (Table 2).

  • The share of debt liabilities in total liabilities declined marginally during the quarter (Table 3).

  • The ratio of India’s international financial assets to international financial liabilities stood at 58.3 per cent in December 2018 (61.1 per cent in September 2018).
