India’s International Investment Position (IIP), June 2019

Today, the Reserve Bank released data relating to India’s International Investment Position at end-June 2019.

Key Features of India’s IIP in June 2019

  • Net claims of non-residents on India increased by US$ 14.8 billion during April-June 2019 (Table 1).

  • Foreign owned assets in India increased by US$ 35.0 billion, mainly on account of an increase in foreign direct investment (US$ 18.1 billion), portfolio investment (US$ 6.8 billion) and loans (US$ 5.9 billion).

  • Foreign assets of Indian residents rose by US$ 20.2 billion during the quarter, primarily on account of increase in reserve assets.

  • Appreciation of the Indian rupee against the US dollar during the quarter contributed to the increase in India’s liabilities when valued in US dollar terms; excluding this valuation effect, India’s liabilities would have amounted to US$ 1,110.4 billion as against US$ 1,113.9 billion inclusive of valuation.

  • Reserve assets accounted for 64.9 per cent of total overseas assets (Table 2).

  • The share of debt liabilities in total liabilities declined marginally to 50.6 per cent from 50.9 per cent at the end of March 2019 (Table 3).
