5/12/2020 Report On U.S. Portfolio Holdings of Foreign Securities at End-Year 2009 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY Press Center Report On U.S. Portfolio Holdings of Foreign Securities at End-Year 2009 10/29/2010 – The findings from an annual survey of U.S. portfolio holdings of foreign securities at year-end 2009 were released today and posted on the Treasury web site at (https://auth.treasury.gov/resource-center/data-chart-center/tic/Pages/fpis.aspx). 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, 2010, are currently being processed. Preliminary results are expected to be reported on February 28, 2011. Overall Results This survey measured the value of U.S. portfolio holdings of foreign securities at year-end 2009 of approximately $6.0 trillion, with $4.0 trillion held in foreign equity, $1.6 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 2008, measured U.S. holdings of approximately $4.3 trillion, with $2.7 trillion held in foreign equity, $1.3 trillion held in foreign long-term debt securities and $0.3 trillion held in foreign short-term debt securities. The increase in the value of U.S. portfolio holdings between the two surveys primarily reflects valuation changes in foreign equity during 2009. U.S. portfolio holdings of foreign securities by country at the end of 2009 were the largest for the United Kingdom ($958 billion), followed by Canada ($540 billion), and Japan ($419 billion) (see Table 2). These three countries attracted about one-third of the total U.S. portfolio investment. The surveys are part of an internationally-coordinated effort under the auspices of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to improve the measurement of portfolio asset holdings. Table 1.
