description: "Singapore’s net international investment position (IIP) increased by 2.6% quarter-on-quarter to $1.4 trillion in Q4, driven by a rise in external assets, which grew by $243 billion to $8.8 trillion. External liabilities also rose, but at a slower pace, increasing by $208 billion to $7.4 trillion. This positions Singapore as a net creditor country. Portfolio investments accounted for the largest net asset position at $2.1 trillion, while direct investments remained a net liability at $1.4 trillion."

# Singapore’s net IIP rises to $1.4t in Q4

**External assets outpaced the growth.**

Singapore’s net international investment position rose 2.6% QoQ to $1.4t at the end of the fourth quarter, as growth in external assets outpaced the increase in external liabilities.

External assets rose by $243b to $8.8t, whilst external liabilities increased by $208b to $7.4t.

The latest reading means Singapore remained a net creditor country, with external assets continuing to exceed external liabilities.

By functional category, portfolio investment posted the largest net asset position at $2.1t, whilst other investments recorded a net asset position of $207b. Reserve assets stood at $526b.

In contrast, direct investment remained in a net liability position of $1.4t, whilst financial derivatives registered a net liability position of $41b.

The Department of Statistics said the higher net IIP reflected a larger rise in Singapore’s external financial assets than its external financial liabilities over the quarter.
