Preliminary Annual Report on U.S. Holdings of Foreign Securities at Year-End 2013
8/29/2014

WASHINGTON – Preliminary data from an annual survey of U.S. portfolio holdings of foreign securities at year-end 2013 were released
today and posted on the Treasury web site at (http://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/data-chart-center/tic/Pages/fpis.aspx#usclaims).
Final survey results, which will include additional detail as well as possible revisions to the data, will be reported on October 31, 2014.
The survey was undertaken jointly by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
A complementary survey measuring foreign holdings of U.S. securities also is conducted annually. Data from the most recent such
survey, which reports on securities held on June 30, 2014, are currently being processed. Preliminary results are expected to be reported
on February 27, 2015.
Overall Preliminary Results
The survey measured the value of U.S. holdings of foreign securities at year-end 2013 at approximately $9.2 trillion, with $6.5 trillion held
in foreign equities, $2.3 trillion held in foreign long-term debt securities (original term-to-maturity in excess of one year), and $0.4 trillion
held in foreign short-term debt securities. The previous such survey, conducted as of year-end 2012, measured the value of U.S. holdings
at $7.9 trillion, with $5.3 trillion held in foreign equities, $2.3 trillion held in foreign long-term debt securities, and $0.4 trillion held in foreign
short-term debt securities.
