India’s International Investment Position June 2026 RBI Update
The Reserve Bank of India has officially released the data relating to India’s International Investment Position (IIP) for the end of June 2026. This comprehensive report outlines the shifting dynamics of international financial assets and external liabilities of Indian residents during the first quarter of the financial year 2026-27.
Overview of India's IIP June 2026
According to the latest data published by the Reserve Bank of India, the net claims of non-residents on India witnessed an increase of US$ 16.5 billion during Q1:2026-27. This pushed the total net claims to US$ 220.3 billion as of end-June 2026. The shift was primarily driven by a rise in external liabilities amounting to US$ 11.6 billion, coupled with a decline of US$ 4.9 billion in foreign-owned assets. Consequently, the ratio of India’s international assets to international liabilities saw a moderation, dropping to 84.6 per cent in June 2026 from 85.7 per cent recorded in the previous quarter.
Composition of Assets and Liabilities
The growth in foreign liabilities of Indian residents was largely supported by direct investment worth US$ 15.7 billion and other investment totaling US$ 4.2 billion. These inflows successfully offset the considerable decline noted in portfolio equity investments, which decreased by US$ 14 billion. When evaluating international financial assets, reserve assets continued to hold the lion's share at 55.1 per cent, while overseas direct investment accounted for over one-fourth of the total share. On the liability side, the share of debt liabilities in total external liabilities continued its gradual upward trajectory across recent quarters, reaching 56.9 per cent by the end of June 2026.
