Supplementary notes

The source adds the following information: 'the net international investment position (NIIP) is the value of financial assets of Dutch residents abroad minus the value of financial assets of non-residents in the Netherlands and is calculated as a percentage of the GDP. Financial investors use this indicator to gauge the creditworthiness of a country.'

If the NIIP is negative, a country is in debt to the rest of the world. A large negative net international investment position means that a country is sensitive to developments on international capital markets and effectively is a debtor nation. A positive NIIP value indicates a nation is a creditor nation. For this indicator the European Commission has only set a lower limit of -35 percent.
