SEACEN Capital Flows Monitor July 2025 Update

Summary


The SEACEN Capital Flows Monitor 2025 Update (July 2025) shows that Asian economies, as a group, witnessed a marked increase in cross-border resident and nonresident capital flows in 2024, following two years of significantly lower cross-border capital flows in 2022 and 2023.  The region’s aggregate net foreign asset position remained positive, although some economies remained a net borrower in 2024.  The monitor’s analytical section focuses on the theoretical models and empirical evidence on the impact of foreign direct investment on productivity and growth.
