Description:

This table shows the financial assets held by Austrians abroad and by nonresidents in Austria. The structure and scope of the International Investment Position (IIP), which is compiled on a quarterly basis, is essentially in accordance with the 6th edition (2013) of the IMF’s Balance of Payments Manual (BPM6). The stocks are valued at year-end market prices. The external assets and liabilities are presented (a) in total and (b) in a breakdown by direct investment, portfolio investment, other investment, financial derivatives and reserve assets. The above-mentioned aggregates each comprise assets and liabilities. A net investment position with a positive sign indicates that Austria is a net creditor. A net investment position with a negative sign indicates that Austria is a net debtor.
