The Net International Investment Position (NIIP) of Belgium from the first quarter of 2017 to the third quarter of 2022 (in billion euros) fluctuated over time. In the third quarter of 2022, the total value was worth 280 billion euros. This is an increase from 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic first hit Belgium.
The Net International Investment Position (NIIP) is the value of financial assets of Belgian residents abroad minus the value of financial assets of non-residents in Belgium and is calculated as a percentage of GDP. 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. Financial investors use this indicator to gauge the creditworthiness of a country.
