Czech Republic Foreign Debt (EUR)

Foreign indebtedness does not include the positions of investments into equity securities, i.e. direct investments owners capital, portfolio investments - equity securities and ownership interests. The positions of the individual debt liabilities correspond, just as in the case of the investment position, to the respective transactions with debt financial liabilities in the balance of payments financial account. The positions of assets and liabilities of the investment position reported as at a certain date are influenced by the transactions implemented in the previous periods and recorded in the balance of payments and other influences ensuing above all from the exchange rate and price fluctuations. The calculation of the data on the investment position and gross indebtedness is carried out by accumulation of the positions of the respective financial assets and liabilities. The difference between the level of assets and liabilities represents the balance of the investment position. For the valuation of the individual assets and liabilities market prices prevailing as at the last day of the reporting period are used or, as the case may be, accounting or nominal prices, if market prices are not available. For the expression of the investment position and gross indebtedness in EUR and USD foreign exchange market rates declared by the CNB as at the respective day are used.
