Treasury International Capital Data for November
January 19, 2024

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of the Treasury today released Treasury International Capital (TIC) data for
November 2023. The next release, which will report on data for December 2023, is scheduled for February 15, 2024.
The sum total in November of all net foreign acquisitions of long-term securities, short-term U.S. securities, and
banking flows was a net TIC inflow of $260.2 billion. Of this, net foreign private inflows were $242.0 billion, and net
foreign o icial inflows were $18.3 billion.
Foreign residents increased their holdings of long-term U.S. securities in November; their net purchases were $149.4
billion. Net purchases by private foreign investors were $182.1 billion, while net sales by foreign o icial institutions
were $32.7 billion.
U.S. residents increased their holdings of long-term foreign securities, with net purchases of $23.3 billion.
A er including adjustments, such as estimated foreign portfolio acquisitions of U.S. stocks through stock swaps,
overall net foreign purchases of long-term securities are estimated to have been $126.1 billion in November.
Foreign residents increased their holdings of U.S. Treasury bills by $29.1 billion. Foreign resident holdings of all
dollar-denominated short-term U.S. securities and other custody liabilities increased by $36.2 billion.
Banksʼ own net dollar-denominated liabilities to foreign residents increased by $97.9 billion.
Complete data are available on the Treasury website here.
About TIC Data
The monthly data on holdings of long-term securities, as well as the monthly table on Major Foreign Holders of
Treasury Securities, reflect foreign holdings of U.S. securities collected primarily on the basis of custodial data.
These data help provide a window into foreign ownership of U.S. securities, but they cannot attribute holdings of
U.S. securities with complete accuracy. For example, if a U.S. Treasury security purchased by a foreign resident is
held in a custodial account in a third country, the true ownership of the security will not be reflected in the data.
The custodial data will also not properly attribute U.S. Treasury securities managed by foreign private portfolio
managers who invest on behalf of residents of other countries. In addition, foreign countries may hold dollars and
other U.S. assets that are not captured in the TIC data. For these reasons, it is di icult to draw precise conclusions
from TIC data about changes in the foreign holdings of U.S. financial assets by individual countries.

Net U.S. sales = Net
foreign purchases of U.S.
securities (+).

/2

Includes international and
regional organizations.

/3

The reported division of net U.S. sales of long-term securities between net
sales to foreign o icial institutions and net sales
to other foreign investors is subject to a "transaction bias" described in Frequently
Asked Questions 7 and 10.a.4 on the TIC website.

/4

Net transactions in foreign securities by U.S. residents. Foreign purchases of foreign securities =
U.S. sales of foreign 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.
