 International Investment Position (IIP) StatisticsLast Updated: Failed to execute CGI : Win32 Error Code = 2 The international investment position (IIP) is a statistical statement that shows at a point in time the value of: financial assets of residents of an economy that are claims on nonresidents or are gold bullion held as reserve assets; and the liabilities of residents of an economy to nonresidents. The items that comprise the IIP consist of claims on nonresidents, liabilities to nonresidents, and monetary gold.

Together, the balance of payments, the international investment position, and the other changes in financial assets and liabilities account summarize for an economy the economic relationships between the residents of that economy and nonresidents.
