The Central Bank of Taiwan published Taiwan's 2025 international investment position, showing that the economy remained a net external creditor at the end of 2025 but with a smaller net asset position as liabilities grew faster than assets. Total external assets rose by USD 275.7 billion, or 9.2%, to USD 3,267.0 billion, while total external liabilities increased by USD 438.4 billion, or 29.6%, to USD 1,917.4 billion. As a result, the net international investment position declined by USD 162.6 billion, or 10.8%, to USD 1,349.6 billion. The increase in external assets was mainly driven by residents' larger holdings of foreign securities and higher foreign securities prices. The rise in external liabilities mainly reflected valuation gains on nonresident holdings of local equities. Taiwan ranked as the world's sixth-largest net creditor at the end of 2025. The next international investment position data release is scheduled for 16:20 on June 15, 2027.
