Foreign Investment in UK
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what the total stock of UK corporate bonds held by non-resident investors was in each quarter of the last five years for which figures are available.
Answered by James Murray
As part of their Balance of Payments release, the Office for National Statistics produce statistics on cross-border transactions and positions. This includes information on the aggregate market value of UK quoted equities held by non-resident investors, net inflows of portfolio and other investment from non-resident investors, as well as the total stock of UK corporate bonds held by non-resident investors.
The ONS published their most recent Balance of Payments release on 28 March 2025, which is available on their website at Balance of Payments, UK - Office for National Statistics. The statistics on inflows and stocks/market values can be found in Table J and in Table K respectively.
