The reported division of net purchases of long-term securities between net purchases by foreign official institutions and

net purchases
of other foreign investors is subject to a "transaction bias" described in Frequently Asked Questions 7 and
10.a.4 on the TIC website.
Net transactions in foreign securities by U.S. residents. Foreign purchases of foreign securities = U.S. sales of foreign
/4
securities to foreigners.
Thus negative entries indicate net U.S. purchases of foreign securities, or an outflow of capital from the United
States; positive entries
indicate net U.S. sales of foreign
securities.

These are primarily data on monthly changes in banks' and broker/dealers' custody liabilities. Data on custody claims are

collected
quarterly and published in the Treasury Bulletin and the TIC
website.
"Selected Other Liabilities" are primarily the foreign liabilities of U.S. customers that are managed by U.S. banks or
/7
broker/dealers.
TIC data cover most components of international financial flows, but do not include data on direct investment flows, which
/8
are collected
and published by the Department of Commerce's Bureau of Economic Analysis. In addition to the monthly data
summarized here, the
TIC collects quarterly data on some banking and nonbanking assets and liabilities. Frequently Asked Question
1 on the TIC website
describes the scope of TIC data
collection.
