Talk:List of creditor nations by net international investment position per capita

Selection criteria
What was the basis for selecting these countries? They are hardly the "top" countries...what about the Arabs? Brunei? Drow69 (talk) 15:09, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
 * These were the only countries on the IMF's website that had positive NIIPs. Those with negative NIIPs are basically net debtors, and can hardly be considered "top" countries for this particular category. As for the oil-rich Arab countries and Brunei, I simply could not find any credible sources for their NIIPs; if/when I do, I'll certainly add their data. - Ujongbakuto (talk)

Well, I personally would not consider the Argentinian government to be a credible source of data on the country's economy :-) Take a look at this http://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/wp/2006/wp0669.pdf Figure 8 on page 40 shows some of the Arabs right at the top, and Brunei is off the scale at 600% of GDP. Figure 10g shows data for Latin countries in 2004, and Argentina had a substantial negative position at that time. Not sure at what point their debt default became effective, but IIRC it was before 2004.Drow69 (talk) 22:33, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
 * From 2009 to early 2012, even the IMF was also not satisfied with the Argentinian government ("In the course of its regular monitoring of the observance of subscribers' undertakings under the Special Data Dissemination Standard (SDDS), in 2009 Fund staff determined that Argentina was not, as required under the SDDS legal framework, disseminating in its Data Template on International Reserves and Foreign Currency Liquidity (the "Reserves Template") data on financial instruments denominated in foreign currencies (exchange-traded futures) and settled by other means, including domestic currency. In January 2012, the authorities began disseminating to the public data on financial instruments denominated in foreign currencies (exchange-traded futures) and settled by other means, including domestic currency, with a four-month lag, which does not meet the SDDS timeliness requirement of one month lag."); however, by mid-2012, the IMF seems to have been satisfied ("On July 27, 2012, Argentina disseminated in its Reserves Template for June 30, 2012, data on financial instruments denominated in foreign currencies (exchange-traded futures) and settled by other means, including domestic currency, with one month lag, consistent with SDDS requirements."), so I guess we'll just have to include Argentina's data for the time being, even though I'm tempted to remove Argentina from the list too because of their massive debt default...
 * As for the oil-rich Arab countries and Brunei, I would certainly include them as soon as I can discover a precise NIIP figure (just one number, without needing the numbers for assets and liabilities) for each of them, as long as those figures are approved by the IMF, just to be fair to the other countries currently on the list. --Ujongbakuto (talk) 01:05, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
