External assets and liabilities of the Austrian economy (on a gross and net basis)

Description:

This table is an extraction of the International Investment Position and covers debt instruments only (e.g. debt securities, loans, cash and deposits). Equity capital (e.g. equity securities or investment fund shares) is excluded. For highly developed economies like Austria, which hold a substantial fraction of their cross-border financial assets/liabilities in the form of equity capital, this statistics provides an incomplete picture. By publishing the external debt statistics Austria meets the requirements issued by the IMF’s Special Data Dissemination Standard (SDDS). Stocks of tradable instruments like debt securities are valued at market prices (quotations at the end of the period).
