NIIP and reserve assets come from CBC’s 2024 IIP release. GDP is implied from the same official macro context used in the current-account/GDP calculation.
NIIP/GDP equals end-2024 NIIP divided by implied nominal GDP. Reserve/GDP uses reserve assets from the same CBC IIP release divided by the same GDP denominator.
NIIP and reserve assets are from the same CBC release. GDP is derived from the same official macro framework used in the current-account discussion, making the ratios internally coherent.
