Indicate whether the statement is true, false, or uncertainand explain why.

1. The net foreign asset position of South Africa in 2010 and 2011, respectively, was-70.5 billion USD and -19.7 billion USD. The current account in 2010 was -10.1 billion USD. There must be an error in the official numbers. The correct figure should be a net international investment position of -80.6 billion USD.
