Taiwan's International Investment Position (2022)

A country's international investment position is the balance sheet of the stock of residents' financial assets from and liabilities to the rest of the world.

At the end of 2022, Taiwan's total external assets decreased by US$16.26 billion or 0.6% to US$2,706.80 billion compared to the end of 2021. This was mainly attributable to price declines in foreign securities held by residents.

Taiwan's total external liabilities was US$990.77 billion at the end of 2022, decreasing by US$317.47 billion or 24.3% from the end of the previous year. This was mainly accounted for by decreasing prices of local shares held by foreign investors.
