U.S. International Investment Position,
4th Quarter and Year 2023
Fourth Quarter
The U.S. net international investment position, the difference between U.S. residents’ foreign financial assets
and liabilities, was –$19.77 trillion at the end of the fourth quarter of 2023, according to statistics released
today by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA). Assets totaled $34.54 trillion, and liabilities were $54.31
trillion. At the end of the third quarter, the net investment position was –$18.11 trillion (revised). The net
investment position and components of assets and liabilities are presented in table 1.

The –$1.66 trillion change in the net investment position from the third quarter to the fourth quarter came
from net financial transactions of –$243.1 billion and net other changes in position, such as price and
exchange-rate changes, of –$1.42 trillion. Net other changes mostly reflected U.S. stock price increases that
Page 1 of 9

exceeded foreign stock price increases, which raised the market value of U.S. liabilities more than U.S. assets.
The impact of stock price changes was partly offset by the appreciation of major foreign currencies against
the U.S. dollar that raised the value of U.S. assets more than U.S. liabilities in dollar terms (table A).

U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis

U.S. assets increased by $1.72 trillion to a total of $34.54 trillion at the end of the fourth quarter, driven by
foreign stock price increases and the appreciation of major foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar. All
major investment categories of assets increased, except financial derivatives.

Page 2 of 9

Direct investment assets increased by $930.0 billion to $10.80 trillion and portfolio investment assets
increased by $914.2 billion to $15.32 trillion, driven mainly by foreign stock price increases and the
appreciation of major foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar that raised the market value of these assets in
dollar terms. Other investment assets increased by $193.9 billion to $5.44 trillion, driven by increases in loans
and in currency and deposits.
In contrast, financial derivatives decreased by $380.7 billion to $2.20 trillion, driven by decreases in singlecurrency interest rate contracts.
U.S. liabilities increased by $3.38 trillion to a total of $54.31 trillion at the end of the fourth quarter, driven
by U.S. stock price increases. All major investment categories of liabilities increased, except financial
derivatives.
Portfolio investment liabilities increased by $2.21 trillion to $28.67 trillion and direct investment liabilities
increased by $1.31 trillion to $14.87 trillion, driven mainly by U.S. stock price increases that raised the market
value of these liabilities; U.S. bond price increases also contributed to the increase in portfolio investment
liabilities. Other investment liabilities increased by $171.2 billion to $8.57 trillion, driven by increases in
currency and deposits.
In contrast, financial derivatives decreased by $312.0 billion to $2.21 trillion, driven by decreases in singlecurrency interest rate contracts.

Year 2023
The U.S. net international investment position was –$19.77 trillion at the end of 2023, compared to –$16.17
trillion at the end of 2022. The net investment position and components of assets and liabilities are
presented in table 2.
The –$3.60 trillion change in the net investment position from the end of 2022 to the end of 2023 came from
net financial transactions of –$906.3 billion and net other changes in position, such as price and exchangerate changes, of –$2.69 trillion (table C).
Price changes of –$2.93 trillion mostly reflected U.S. stock price increases that exceeded foreign stock price
increases, which raised the market value of U.S. liabilities more than U.S. assets.
Exchange-rate changes of $482.4 billion reflected the appreciation of most major foreign currencies against

Page 3 of 9

the U.S. dollar, which raised the value of U.S. assets more than U.S. liabilities in dollar terms.
U.S. assets increased by $2.91 trillion to a total of $34.54 trillion at the end of 2023, driven by foreign stock
price increases and by financial transactions that mostly reflected increases in direct investment equity assets
and in other investment loans. All major investment categories of assets increased, except financial
derivatives.
Direct investment assets increased by $1.52 trillion to $10.80 trillion and portfolio investment assets
increased by $1.25 trillion to $15.32 trillion, driven mainly by foreign stock price increases that raised the
market value of these assets. Other investment assets increased by $412.5 billion to $5.44 trillion, driven by
increases in loans. In contrast, financial derivatives decreased by $340.5 billion to $2.20 trillion, driven by
decreases in single-currency interest rate contracts.

U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis

U.S. liabilities increased by $6.51 trillion to a total of $54.31 trillion at the end of 2023, driven by U.S. stock
price increases and by financial transactions that mostly reflected foreign purchases of U.S. long-term debt
securities and increases in direct investment equity liabilities. All major investment categories of liabilities
increased, except financial derivatives.
Portfolio investment liabilities increased by $3.90 trillion to $28.67 trillion and direct investment liabilities
increased by $2.61 trillion to $14.87 trillion, driven mainly by U.S. stock price increases that raised the market
value of these liabilities. Other investment liabilities increased by $264.9 billion to $8.57 trillion, driven by
increases in currency and deposits. In contrast, financial derivatives decreased by $265.6 billion to $2.21
trillion, driven by decreases in single-currency interest rate contracts.

Upcoming Update to the U.S. International Investment Position
The annual update of the U.S. International Investment Position (IIP) will be released along with preliminary
estimates for the first quarter of 2024 on June 26, 2024. A preview of the annual update will be available in
the Survey of Current Business in April 2024.

Upcoming Release of New International Investment Position Statistics
With the release of the IIP Accounts on June 26, 2024, BEA will (1) expand “Table 1.3. Change in the Yearend
U.S. Net International Investment Position,” which currently presents annual statistics, to include new
quarterly statistics on price changes and exchange-rate changes for U.S. assets and liabilities beginning with
the first quarter of 2023 and (2) rename this table as “Table 1.3. Change in the U.S. Net International
Investment Position.” The expanded table will be incorporated into BEA’s Interactive Data Application and
Data Application Programming Interface as a standard table.
Currently, IIP table 1.3 is only available for annual statistics published in March and updated in June each
year. This table presents the U.S. net IIP and positions for U.S. assets and liabilities by functional categories
(direct investment, portfolio investment, financial derivatives, other investment, and reserve assets). In
addition, IIP table 1.3 disaggregates the change in position for a year by financial transactions and by other
changes in position such as price changes, exchange-rate changes, and changes in volume and valuation n.i.e
(not included elsewhere). For more information, see paragraph 22.5 in U.S. International Economic Accounts:
Concepts and Methods. BEA will continue to publish annual IIP table 1.3 statistics in March each year while
quarterly statistics will be published with each quarterly news release in March, June, September, and
December.
The expansion of IIP table 1.3 to include new quarterly statistics for other changes in position reflects BEA’s
incorporation of newly available source data from the Treasury International Capital System “Aggregate
Holdings, Purchases and Sales, and Fair Value Changes of Long-Term Securities by U.S. and Foreign
Residents” (TIC SLT) report. BEA has incorporated these data to more accurately measure portfolio
investment transactions and other changes in position of equity and investment fund shares and of longterm debt securities. BEA’s statistics for these portfolio investment transactions, which were previously
derived from positions data reported on the TIC SLT form, now reflect the new TIC SLT transactions data,
beginning with the first quarter of 2023. For more information on the new source data, see the “Technical
Note” included with the “U.S. International Transactions” news release on September 21, 2023. BEA’s
statistics for portfolio investment other changes in position such as price and exchange-rate changes in IIP
table 1.3, which were previously estimated from stock and bond market price indices, now reflect the new
TIC SLT valuation changes data. Portfolio investment position statistics at the end of a quarter and at yearend
presented in this release are not affected by the new treatment of transactions and other changes in
position.
To prepare users for this change, a prototype of the expanded IIP table 1.3 is available in BEA’s Interactive
Data Application and Data Application Programming Interface. More information will be available in the
preview article in the Survey in April 2024.

Definitions
The international investment position (IIP) is a statistical
balance sheet that presents the dollar value of U.S. financial
assets and liabilities with respect to foreign residents at a
specific point in time. BEA presents IIP statistics at the end
of a quarter or year (March, June, September, and
December). For the March and June releases, BEA also
presents statistics on changes in the yearend position that
are disaggregated into financial transactions, price changes,
exchange-rate changes, and changes in volume and
valuation not included elsewhere (n.i.e.).
The U.S. net IIP is defined as the value of U.S. assets less the
value of U.S. liabilities.
Financial transactions are transactions between U.S.
residents and nonresidents in financial assets and liabilities.
They are also recorded in the financial account of the
International Transactions Accounts (ITAs). See “Related
statistics” below.
Other changes in position are changes in the value of U.S.
assets or liabilities arising from any source besides a
financial transaction. Other changes in position include price
changes, exchange-rate changes, and changes in volume
and valuation n.i.e.
Price changes (only presented for annual statistics in the
March and June news releases) are changes in the value of

Exchange-rate changes (only presented for annual statistics
in the March and June news releases) are changes in the
value of foreign-currency-denominated assets and liabilities
due to changes in the values of foreign currencies relative to
the value of the U.S. dollar.
Changes in volume and valuation n.i.e. (only presented for
annual statistics in the March and June news releases)
reflect changes in position due to year-to-year shifts in the
composition of reporting panels, the incorporation of more
comprehensive annual and benchmark survey results, and
revaluations (holding gains and losses) on assets and
liabilities that are not explained by price changes or
exchange-rate changes.
Functional categories are the primary classification system
used in the IIP Accounts and in the financial account of the
ITAs. The five functional categories are direct investment,
portfolio investment, financial derivatives other than
reserves, other investment, and reserve assets. While the
functional categories are based on features that are relevant
for understanding cross-border financial transactions and
positions, they also take into account some aspects of the
relationship between transactors and the economic
motivation for the investment. Within the functional
categories, the IIP Accounts are classified by type of financial
instrument.
Direct investment is a category of cross-border investment
associated with a resident in one economy having control or
a significant degree of influence on the management of an
enterprise resident in another economy. Ownership or
control of 10 percent or more of the voting securities of an
entity in another economy is the threshold for separating
direct investment from other types of investment. Direct
investment positions include positions in equity and debt
instruments. BEA’s IIP statistics feature the market value
measure of direct investment positions, a measure that
values owners’ equity at current-period prices using indexes
of stock market prices.
Portfolio investment consists of cross-border positions
involving equity and investment fund shares and debt
securities, excluding those included in direct investment or
reserve assets. Debt securities are classified by original
maturity (short term versus long term at the time of issue).
Financial derivatives other than reserves consist of crossborder positions arising from financial contracts that are

Page 6 of 9

linked to underlying financial instruments, commodities, or
indicators. Positions in financial derivatives consist of
contracts with positive and negative fair values. A contract
with a positive fair value is a U.S. asset and represents the
amount that a foreign resident would have to pay to a U.S.
counterparty if the contract were terminated or settled. A
contract with a negative fair value is a U.S. liability and
represents the amount that a U.S. resident would have to
pay to a foreign counterparty if the contract were
terminated or settled. The gross positive (negative) fair
value is the sum across all contracts with positive (negative)
fair values. Fair values differ from notional values, which are
the underlying amounts used to calculate payments on
contracts. Gross positive and gross negative fair values for
financial derivatives positions are available separately in
table 1. However, transactions and other changes in
financial derivatives positions are only available for the net
position in financial derivatives. For other changes in
position for financial derivatives, statistics are not
separately available for price changes, exchange rate
changes, and changes in volume and valuation n.i.e.
Other investment includes cross-border positions other
than those included in direct investment, portfolio
investment, financial derivatives, and reserve assets. Other
investment positions consist of positions in other equity
(equity not in the form of securities), currency and deposits,
loans, insurance technical reserves, trade credit and
advances, and, for liabilities, special drawing rights
allocations.
Reserve assets are those external assets that are readily
available to and controlled by U.S. monetary authorities for
meeting balance-of-payments financing needs, for
intervention in exchange markets to affect the currency
exchange rate, and for other related purposes such as
maintaining confidence in the currency and the economy
and serving as a basis for foreign borrowing. The major
published components are monetary gold, International
Monetary Fund (IMF) special drawing rights, reserve
position in the IMF, and other reserve assets.

Preliminary quarterly IIP statistics are released in March,
June, September, and December, approximately 90 days
after the end of the reference quarter. These statistics are
updated the following quarter to incorporate new and
revised source data. Quarterly statistics are open for
revision for at least the prior 3 years in annual updates
released in June. Preliminary annual statistics are released
in March reflecting positions at the end of the fourth quarter
of the previous year. These annual statistics are open for
revision for at least the prior 3 years in subsequent annual
updates.

Related statistics
The IIP statistics comprise one part of a broader set of U.S.
International Economic Accounts that, taken together,
provide a comprehensive, integrated, and detailed picture
of U.S. international economic activities.
The ITA statistics are released quarterly. Financial
transactions reported in the financial account of the ITAs are
one type of change in position recorded in the IIP. Financial
transactions are transactions between U.S. residents and
nonresidents for direct investment, portfolio investment,
other investment, reserve assets, and financial derivatives.
Statistics on direct investment and multinational enterprises
(MNEs) include annual statistics on the activities of U.S.
MNEs and U.S. affiliates of foreign MNEs, detailed annual
and quarterly statistics on direct investment, and annual
statistics on new foreign direct investment in the United
States.
Statistics on international services include detailed annual
information on trade in services and on services supplied
through the channel of direct investment by affiliates of
MNEs.
"U.S. international trade in goods and services" released by
BEA and the U.S. Census Bureau, provides monthly statistics
on trade in goods and services.
