Net international investment position

The Net international investment position (NIIP) is the difference between the external financial assets and liabilities of a country.[1] External debt of a country includes government debt and private debt. Publicly and privately held external assets by a country's legal residents are also taken into account when calculating its NIIP.[2] Please note that commodities and currencies tend to follow a cyclical pattern by undergoing significant valuation changes, which is also reflected in NIIP.

US Net International Investment Position

The International investment position (IIP) of a country is a financial statement of the value and composition of its external financial assets and liabilities. A positive NIIP value indicates that a nation is a creditor nation, while a negative value indicates that it is a debtor nation.

History

The US was the world's largest creditor until the 1960s. However, over the last few decades, the US has become the world's largest debtor. Since the 1980s, Japan replaced the USA as the world's largest creditor nation. With the ascent of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority's credit position since 2015, China (including Hong Kong and Macau) and Japan have been competing for the top creditor position.
