The new publication has been developed in accordance with the methodology set out in the 6^th edition of Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual. It contains data on currency composition of claims and liabilities of the residents of the Russian Federation vis-à-vis the rest of the world, as reflected in the International Investment Position of the country.

Publication of data on currency composition of foreign investment and external assets of the residents of the Russian Federation will enable both assessment of the country’s contribution to global financial capital flows, and also of the currency risks facing the economy.
