Faroe Islands’ net foreign assets topped 10 billion kroner in 2025

The Faroe Islands’ net foreign assets exceeded 10 billion kroner in 2025, rising by more than 5.4 billion kroner over the year, according to KVF.

Foreign assets increased by more than 2.3 billion kroner, while foreign liabilities fell by more than 3.1 billion to 39.6 billion kroner, Statistics Faroe Islands reported.

More than half of Faroese assets abroad are held in securities, but the increase came from higher direct investment. All sectors increased their net foreign assets, the difference between assets and liabilities.
