following several quarters of little change, more than offset an increase in imports associated with the strong
of activity in the U.S. The current account registered a surplus of $3.1 billion as net investment income rose

U.S. INTERNATIONAL TRANSACTIONS—Continued
In the capital account, U.S. official reserve assets increased $4.5 billion in the first quarter, reflecting transactions on
the foreign exchange markets plus an allocation of Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) by the IMF. Foreign official assets
in the U.S. increased $5.4 billion, due almost entirely to an increase in OPEC holdings.
