Abstract

Japan's external financial assets, which had decreased significantly in 2008 reflecting a fall in the yen value of foreign currency-denominated assets due to the appreciation of the yen and declines in equity prices, increased again in 2009 due mainly to (1) the depreciation of the yen; (2) active outward portfolio investment; and (3) the recovery in equity prices. At the same time, Japan's net asset position at year-end 2009 was slightly higher than the record-high registered in 2007, reflecting a slight decrease in external financial liabilities (250.2 trillion yen at year-end 2007; 225.5 trillion yen at year-end 2008; and 266.2 trillion yen at year-end 2009).
