Net foreign assets (current LCU) by country

What this measures

Net foreign assets are the sum of foreign assets held by monetary authorities and deposit money banks, less their foreign liabilities. This indicator is expressed in current prices, meaning no adjustment has been made to account for price changes over time. This series is expressed in local currency units.

Each country's latest available year is shown; countries report on different schedules, so compare years before comparing values.
