Abstract: According to the classification of the balance of payment, there are three major channels of international economic linkages between nations around the globe ’ exports/imports, foreign direct investment (FDI) and international portfolio investment (IPI). The latter two channels of international economic linkages, i.e., FDI and IPI, have become increasingly important and significant in the last two decades in the name of globalisation, leading to the recommendation and installation of the international investment position statement that records primarily FDI and IPI activities. The entries to the international investment position are the same and consistent with the balance of payments financial account, so FDI and IPI activities are recorded and can be analysed both as stocks of, and as flows to/from, a country in the global economy.
