The NIIP (Net International Investment Position) measures whether a country is net debtor vs net creditor.<p>This wikipedia list from 2017: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_international_investment_position" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_international_investment_p...</a><p>has some interesting trends:<p>1) US is far down below in the list as a net debtor country with the NIIP being 43.4% of its GDP<p>2) Many erstwhile developing countries like China, India, Nigeria are slowly getting closer to the 0 mark twards net creditor status<p>3) Venezuela is a net creditor country with NIIP beign 30.5% of the GDP. How does that work for a country that's internally collapsing? Is it from historical oil lending deals to other countries?
