What the country owns abroad minus what it owes (net international investment position)

The name at the source «Net international investment position - annual data»

What this number is

It is the difference between what residents of Portugal own in the rest of the world and what they owe to it, as a percentage of GDP, the value of everything the country produces in a year.

Negative means the country owes abroad more than it owns there. The net external liability shrank from 2024. For the European Commission, a position below −35 % of GDP is a sign of a possible imbalance: Portugal is below it.

−49,6 % of GDP
