    Solution

    India has a negative IIP. India’s international financial assets covered 68.5% of international financial liabilities as of end September 2022. Hence, statement 1 is correct and statement 3 is incorrect. The International Investment Position (IIP) is a statistical statement that shows at a point in time the value and composition of (a) financial assets of residents of an economy that are claims on non-residents and gold bullion held as reserve assets, and (b) liabilities of residents of an economy to non-residents. The difference between an economy’s external financial assets and liabilities is the economy’s net IIP, which may be positive or negative. Hence, statement 2 is correct.
