Real Gross Product of U.S. Companies' Majority-Owned Foreign
Affiliates in Manufacturing
BEA has developed experimental estimates of real gross product of majorityowned foreign affiliates in manufacturing for 1982-94. These estimates are more
useful than the current-dollar estimates for comparisons over time or across
countries because they exclude changes in value that arise from movements in
prices or exchange rates. As might be expected, removing the effects of changes
in prices and exchange rates produces a gross product series that is generally
both slower growing and less volatile than the current-dollar series. The new,
experimental estimates are largely based on a newly developed procedure that
uses "purchasing-power-parity" exchange rates to construct estimates for a base
year and then constructs the estimates for other years by extrapolating the baseyear estimates with chain-weighted Fisher quantity indexes similar to those used
by BEA to estimate changes in U.S. gross domestic product.

l\egular features

Business Situation
Real GDP increased 3.8 percent in the fourth quarter 0/1996, up from a 2.1percent increase in the third quarter. Real GNP increased 4.2 percent in the fourth
quarter. Corporate profits decreased $7.1 billion, in contrast to a $5.4 billion
increase in the third quarter; profits of domestic financial corporations decreased
much more in the fourth quarter than in the third, and profits of domestic
nonfinancial corporations decreased after increasing. In the fourth quarter, the
Federal Government current deficit decreased $14.9 billion, to $105.9 billion, the
smallest deficit since the third quarter 0/1989; the State and local government
surplus increased $1.7 billion, to $90.9 billion.

U.S. International Transactions, Fourth Quarter and Year 1996
In the fourth quarter 0/1996, the U.S. current-account deficit decreased $6.5
billion, to $41.4 billion; the deficits on goods and services and on investment
income decreased, while net unilateral transfers increased. In the capital account,
net recorded inflows were $68.0 billion in the fourth quarter, $1.7 billion lower
than in the third. For the year 1996, the current-account deficit increased $16.9
billion, to $165.1 billion; the deficits on goods and services and on investment
income increased, and net unilateral transfers increased. In the capital account,
net recorded inflows were $218.2 billion in 1996, $101.6 billion higher than in 1995.

SITUATION

HE "FINAL" estimate of growth in real gross
T
domestic product (GDP) for the fourth quarter of 1996 is 3.8 percent, o.i percentage point lower

The general picture of the economy that is indicated by the final estimates is little changed from
that shown in the preliminary estimates. GDP increased more in the fourth quarter than in the
third, and the larger increase was more than accounted for by exports and consumer spending.
Exports increased sharply in the fourth quarter after decreasing slightly in the third, and consumer
spending increased much more in the fourth quarter than in the third. In addition, imports increased
less in the fourth quarter than in the third, and
residential investment decreased less in the fourth
quarter than in the third. In contrast, inventory
investment decreased in the fourth quarter after
increasing in the third, nonresidential fixed investment increased less in the fourth quarter than in the
third, and government spending decreased slightly
more in the fourth quarter than in the third.
Revisions to the components of GDP were small.
The largest revision was a $3.1 billion downward revision to consumer spending for services,

than the "preliminary" estimate reported in the
March "Business Situation" (table i and chart i);
for 1981-96, the average revision from the preliminary to the final estimate, without regard to sign,
was 0.3 percentage point.1

expressed at seasonally adjusted annual rates, and quarter-to-quarter dollar

which primarily reflected newly available trade
association data for November.
Real final sales of domestic product increased
4.9 percent in the fourth quarter, o.i percentage
point less than the preliminary estimate. Real
gross domestic purchases increased 1.6 percent,
also o.i percentage point less than the preliminary
estimate.
The price indexes for gross domestic purchases
and for GDP increased 2.6 percent and 1.9 percent,
respectively; each was o.i percentage point more
than the preliminary estimate.
Real disposable personal income increased 2.6
percent, o.i percentage point more than the preliminary estimate. The personal saving rate was 5.1
percent, the same as the preliminary estimate.
Gross national product (GNP).—Real GNP increased
4.2 percent in the fourth quarter, 0.4 percentage point more than the increase in real GDP
(chart i and table 2).2 Receipts of factor income
from the rest of the world increased more than
payments of factor income; corporate profits accounted for most of the increase in receipts, and
interest income accounted for most of the increase
in payments.
2. GNP—goods and services produced by labor and property supplied by
U.S. residents—equals GDP plus receipts of factor income from the rest of the
world less payments of factor income to the rest of the world.

1. Ratio of the implicit price deflator for the sum of exports of goods and services and of
receipts of factor income to the corresponding implicit price deflator for imports with the decimal
point shifted two places to the right.
NOTE.—Levels of these series are found in NIPA tables 1.10 and 1.11.

Real GNP on a command basis increased less
than real GNP in the fourth quarter—3.7 percent,
compared with 4.2 percent—reflecting a deterioration in the terms of trade.3 In the third
quarter, command-basis GNP increased slightly
more than real GNP—1.7 percent, compared with
1.6 percent—reflecting a small improvement in the
terms of trade.
Corporate Profits
Profits from current production decreased $7.1 billion in the fourth quarter after increasing $5.4
billion in the third (table 3).4
Profits from domestic industries decreased $20.4
billion after increasing $7.3 billion. Profits of
financial corporations decreased much more in
the fourth quarter than in the third; the sharper
fourth-quarter decrease was more than accounted
for by a special assessment on thrift institutions
to recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance
Fund. (For additional information, see the discussion on Federal receipts in the "Government
Sector") Profits of nonfinancial corporations decreased after increasing, as a decrease in unit profits
more than offset an increase in real output; the
decrease in unit profits reflected a larger increase
in unit labor costs than in unit prices. Profits from
the rest of the world increased $13.3 billion after
decreasing $1.8 billion; receipts picked up sharply,
and payments slowed slightly.5
Cash flow from current production, a profitsrelated measure of internally generated funds
available for investment, decreased $1.1 billion after increasing $12.4 billion. The ratio of cash flow

3. In the estimation of command-basis GNP—a measure of the goods and
services produced by the U.S. economy in terms of their purchasing power—the
cur rent-dollar value of the sum of exports of goods and services and of receipts
of factor income is deflated by the implicit price deflator for the sum of imports
of goods and services and of payments of factor income.
The terms of trade is a measure of the relationship between the prices that
are received by U.S. producers for exports of goods and services and the prices
that are paid by U.S. purchasers for imports of goods and services. It is measured
by the following ratio, with the decimal point shifted two places to the right: In
the numerator, the implicit price deflator for the sum of exports of goods and
services and of receipts of factor income; in the denominator, the implicit price
deflator for the sum of imports of goods and services and of payments of factor
income. Changes in the terms of trade reflect the interaction of a number of
factors—including movements in exchange rates, changes in the composition
of the traded goods and services, adjustment lags, and changes in producers'
profit margins. For example, if the U.S. dollar were to appreciate against a
foreign currency, a foreign manufacturer may choose to absorb this cost by
reducing the profit margin on the product it sells to the United States rather
than by raising prices and risking a loss in market share.
4. Profits from current production is estimated as the sum of profits before
tax, the inventory valuation adjustment, and the capital consumption adjustment; it is shown in national income and product account tables 1.14,1.16, and
6.i6c as "corporate profits with inventory valuation and capital consumption
adjustments."
5. Profits from the rest of the world are receipts of profits from foreign
affiliates of U.S. companies less payments of profits by U.S. affiliates of foreign
companies.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

the share of the current level of investment that
could be financed by internally generated funds,
decreased to 80.9 percent from 81.7 percent. These
levels are near the low end of the range in which
the ratio has fluctuated during most of this decade.
Industry profits.—Industry profits decreased $9.7
billion after increasing $4.1 billion.6 For domestic
financial corporations, a much sharper decrease
in the fourth quarter than in the third was more
than accounted for by the special assessment on
thrift institutions. Profits of domestic nonfinancial corporations declined in the fourth quarter
after increasing in the third. The downturn was accounted for by retail trade, by transportation and
public utilities, and by manufacturing; in contrast,
profits in wholesale trade picked up, and profits in
"other" nonfinancial industries increased about as
much in the fourth quarter as in the third.
6. Industry profits, which are estimated as the sum of corporate profits
before tax and the inventory valuation adjustment, are shown in national income and product accounts table 6.160. Estimates of the capital consumption
adjustment do not exist at a detailed industry level; they are available only for
total financial and total nonfinancial industries.

Related measures.—Profits before tax (PBT) increased $1.5 billion in the fourth quarter after
decreasing $9.0 billion in the third. The difference
between the $10.5 billion upturn in PBT and the
$12.5 billion downturn in profits from current production was more than accounted for by inventory
profits, which increased in the fourth quarter after decreasing in the third. (Inventory profits are
represented in the national income and product
accounts by the inventory valuation adjustment,
with the sign reversed.)
Government Sector
The combined current deficit of the Federal
Government and State and local governments decreased $16.6 billion, to $15.0 billion, in the fourth
quarter (table 4). The decrease was primarily accounted for by a decrease in the Federal deficit;
the State and local government surplus increased
slightly.
Federal
The Federal Government current deficit decreased
$14.9 billion, to $105.9 billion, in the fourth quarter after decreasing $5.9 billion in the third. The
fourth-quarter deficit is the smallest since the third
quarter of 1989.
Receipts.—Receipts increased $37.4 billion in the
fourth quarter after increasing $6.3 billion in the
third. Both the fourth-quarter increase and the acceleration were accounted for by indirect business
tax and nontax accruals and by personal tax and
nontax receipts.
Indirect business tax and nontax accruals increased $23.0 billion after increasing $2.5 billion.
Indirect business nontaxes increased $18.2 billion
after increasing $0.1 billion. The step-up was accounted for by a special assessment of $18.0 billion
(annual rate) that was paid to the Saving Association Insurance Fund by thrift institutions; this
assessment recapitalized the fund, bringing the deposit fund to the target reserve ratio of $1.25 per
$100 in deposits.7 Air transport excise taxes increased $4.5 billion after increasing $0.9 billion;
these excise taxes, which had expired at the end of
December 1995 as a result of the Federal budget
impasse, were reinstated in late August.
Personal tax and nontax receipts increased $10.9
billion after decreasing $1.2 billion. Estimated
income tax payments and final settlements, less
refunds, increased $1.5 billion after decreasing

$11.5 billion; the third-quarter decrease followed a
second-quarter boost in tax receipts that reflected
the third and final installment payment allowed
by the provisions of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 that retroactively increased
tax rates for high-income taxpayers. Withheld income taxes increased $10.4 billion after increasing
$9.8 billion, reflecting an acceleration in wages and
salaries.
Corporate profits tax accruals decreased $3.7 billion after decreasing $2.5 billion, reflecting the
pattern of domestic corporate profits.

Current expenditures.—Current expenditures increased $22.6 billion in the fourth quarter after
increasing $0.3 billion in the -third. The acceleration was mostly accounted for by transfer
payments (net) and grants-in-aid to State and local
governments.
Transfer payments (net) increased $16.9 billion
after increasing $5.0 billion. Transfer payments
to the rest of the world increased $11.6 billion after decreasing $0.1 billion; the upturn was more
than accounted for by $12.0 billion (annual rate)
in economic support and other payments to Israel. Transfer payments to persons increased $5.4
billion after increasing $5.2 billion.
Grants-in-aid to State and local governments
increased $2.3 billion after decreasing $4.8 billion. The upturn was mostly accounted for by
grants for medicaid, which increased $0.8 billion
after decreasing $4.5 billion. Grants for highways,
human development services, community development services, and other programs also turned
up. Subsidies less current surplus of government
enterprises increased $1.7 billion after decreasing
$0.5 billion. The turnaround was mainly accounted for by a downturn in the surplus of the
Postal Service.
Net interest paid increased $5.1 billion after
increasing $2.9 billion. The acceleration was accounted for by a downturn in interest received on
foreign currency holdings.
Consumption expenditures decreased $3.6 billion after decreasing $2.2 billion. Nondefense
consumption expenditures decreased $3.6 billion
after increasing $0.5 billion. The downturn was
accounted for by services, which decreased $3.1 billion after increasing $0.6 billion. Within services,
sales of services increased $3.3 billion after decreasing $0.3 billion. (Sales by government, except those
by government enterprises, of goods and services
similar to those provided by the private sector are
treated as deductions from current expenditures.)

State and local
The State and local government current surplus
increased $1.7 billion, to $90.9 billion, in the
fourth quarter after decreasing $11.8 billion in the
third. The turnaround was largely attributable to
receipts.
,,
_ , , . ., ; .,. v .,, t
Receipts increased $12.2 billion after increasing
$1.9 billion. The acceleration was mostly accounted for by an upturn in Federal grants-in-aid,
which increased $2.3 billion after decreasing $4.8
billion. Indirect business tax and nontax accruals
increased $6.3 billion after increasing $3.4 billion;

taxes. Personal tax and nontax receipts increased
$3.9 billion after increasing $3.1 billion.
Current expenditures increased $10.5 billion after increasing $13.7 billion. The deceleration was
accounted for by consumption expenditures,
which increased $6.0 billion after increasing $9.1
billion. Within consumption expenditures, a slowdown in compensation of employees reflected a
deceleration in employment.
Government Sector in 1996
The combined current deficit of the Federal
Government and State and local governments decreased $32.6 billion in 1996 after decreasing $23.8
billion in 1995. The combined deficit has declined
every year, beginning in 1993, and the 1996 deficit
was the smallest since 1982. The 1996 decrease was
more than accounted for by a decrease in the Federal current deficit; the current surplus of the State
and local governments registered a small decrease.
The Federal current deficit decreased $34.6 billion, to $127.1 billion, the smallest Federal deficit
since 1989; the decrease was attributable to a larger

increase in receipts than in current expenditures.8
Federal receipts increased $96.6 billion; the increase was mostly attributable to personal tax and
nontax receipts, contributions for social insurance,
and corporate profits tax accruals. Federal current
expenditures increased $62.0 billion; the increase
was mostly accounted for by transfer payments to
persons and by grants-in-aid to State and local
governments.
The State and local government current surplus decreased $2.0 billion, to $93.0 billion; the
decrease was attributable to a larger increase in
current expenditures than in receipts. Current
expenditures increased $49.9 billion; the increase
was mostly accounted for by consumption expenditures and by transfer payments to persons.
Receipts increased $47.9 billion; the increase was
mostly attributable to indirect business tax and
nontax accruals, personal tax and nontax receipts,
and Federal grants-in-aid. £1
8. The budget estimates in the national income and product accounts differ
from the official U.S. Budget estimates in several respects, including the timing
of transactions, the treatment of investment, and other coverage differences.

OF CURRENT BUSINESS 77 (March 1997): 8-16.

Release of Revised NIPA and Wealth Estimates
In May, the release of the following estimates will mark
the completion of the most recent comprehensive revision
of the national income and product accounts (NIPA'S).
Revised NIPA estimates for1929-58: The May SURVEY will
present summary tables of revised NIPA estimates beginning in 1929 that will reflect the following major changes
that were incorporated last year into the NIPA estimates
beginning with 1959: Adoption of BEA'S improved measures of real output and prices, the definitional change
that recognizes government investment, and the improved
methodology for calculating depreciation. More detailed
estimates will be available electronically through STATUS A'S Economic Bulletin Board or Internet services and on
diskette from BEA.
Revised estimates of reproducible tangible wealth for 192995: The May SURVEY will contain an article that presents
revised estimates of reproducible tangible wealth for 192995 and that describes the methodology used to prepare
these estimates, including the improved methodology for
calculating depreciation. The complete set of wealth
estimates will be available electronically through STATUSA'S Economic Bulletin Board or Internet services and




on diskette from BEA. In addition, these estimates, along
with the definitions, classifications, and methodologies
that underlie them, will be published later this year in Fixed
Reproducible Tangible Wealth of the United States, 1925-96.
Newly available and revised NIPA estimates of selected series for 1959-96: The May SURVEY will present a set of tables
showing newly available series that reflect the work undertaken to complete the estimates of reproducible tangible
wealth—namely the estimates of real consumption of fixed
capital and related net product and net investment series—
and revised series that primarily reflect the incorporation
into the NIPA'S of the revisions to the wealth estimates.
The largest revisions will be to capital consumption adjustment and consumption of fixed capital and to the series
that depend upon them—including corporate profits from
current production and some components of personal income; revisions to other series are expected to be small.
The tables in the May SURVEY will present the estimates
for 1991-96; all the newly available and revised estimates
for 1959-96, including the more detailed estimates, will
be available electronically through STAT-USA'S Economic
Bulletin Board or Internet services and on diskette from
BEA.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

April 1997

Real Gross Product of U.S. Companies'
Majority-Owned Foreign Affiliates
in Manufacturing
By Raymond J. Mataloni, Jr.

fj N AN initial attempt to remove valuation effects
L from its measures of the foreign manufacturing activities of U.S. multinational companies
(MNC'S), the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA)
has developed experimental estimates of the real
gross product of majority-owned foreign affiliates
(MOFA'S) in manufacturing for 1982-94.1 Gross
product—a measure of value added—is used as a
summary measure of economic activity because it
is free of double counting, unlike sales or receipts
data, which reflect not only value added within
the firm, but also the value of intermediate inputs
purchased from outside the firm. BEA has long provided current-dollar estimates of gross product for
MOFA'S and for their U.S. parent companies, but the
usefulness of these estimates for comparisons over
time or across countries has been limited by the fact
that they do not allow changes in real value added
to be distinguished from changes in value arising
from movements in prices or exchange rates.2

As might be expected, removing the effects of
changes in prices and exchange rates produces a
gross product series that is generally both slower
growing and less volatile than the current-dollar
series. In real terms, the gross product of MOFA'S
in manufacturing grew at an average annual rate of
2.5 percent from 1982 to 1994, a rate similar to the
rate of growth in host-country industrial production.3 Year to year, the changes ranged from -4.4
percent in 1991 to 8.4 percent in 1994 (table i and
chart i). In terms of current dollars, the product
of MOFA'S grew at a 5.9-percent rate, and the yearto-year changes ranged from -4.8 percent in 1983
to 18.8 percent in 1987.
Two procedures were used to prepare the estimates of real gross product—a preferred procedure
for 19 major host countries that account for over
three-quarters of the total gross product of MO FA'S
in manufacturing and a cruder procedure for other
host countries. The preferred procedure consisted
of two steps: Estimates for a base year (1993) were

1. A foreign affiliate is a foreign business enterprise in which there is U.S.
direct investment; that is, a U.S. person ("U.S. parent") owns or controls,
directly or indirectly, 10 percent or more of the voting securities or the equivalent. (In this definition, "person" is broadly defined to include any individual,
branch, partnership, associated group, association, estate, trust, corporation or
other organization—whether or not organized under the laws of any State—or
any government entity.) A MOFA is a foreign affiliate in which the combined
ownership of all U.S. parents exceeds 50 percent.
A U.S. parent comprises the domestic (U.S.) operations of a U.S. MNC.
Foreign affiliates comprise the foreign operations of a U.S. MNC over which the
parent is presumed to have a degree of managerial influence. MOFA'S comprise
the foreign operations over which the parent(s) has a controlling interest.
2. For the most recent current-dollar estimates of gross product, see "Operations of U.S. Multinational Companies: Preliminary Results From the 1994
Benchmark Survey" SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS 76 (December 1996): 11-37.
For information on methodology and for illustrations of the uses of these estimates, see "Gross Product of U.S. Multinational Companies, 1977-91," SURVEY
74 (February 1994): 42-63.
Employment has sometimes been used as an indicator of MNC economic
activity because it is not directly affected by prices or exchange rates, but it is
an imperfect measure because it measures the usage of a factor of production
rather than production itself and because it does not reflect changes in the hours
worked per employee or the usage of nonlabor factors of production.

3. Industrial production indexes are used for this comparison because estimates of real gross product originating in manufacturing are not available for
all countries or for all years.

This article benefited significantly from comments by two
reviewers from outside BEA-—Peter Hooper and Robert
E. Lipsey.

first constructed using "purchasing power parity" (PPP) exchange rates rather than the market
exchange rates (MER'S) that are the basis of the
current-dollar estimates; then estimates for other
years were constructed by extrapolating the baseyear estimates with chain-weighted Fisher quantity
indexes similar to those used by BEA to estimate
changes in U.S. gross domestic product.
Unlike MER'S, the PPP exchange rates used to
establish the base-year levels under the preferred
procedure approximate the number of foreign
currency units required to purchase goods and
services—whether or not traded internationally—
equivalent to those that can be purchased in the
United States with i U.S. dollar.4 MER'S, on the
other hand, reflect a variety of factors, such as international capital movements and expectations of
financial market conditions, that are not directly
related to the prices of goods and services. As an
example of how MER'S may move counter to purchasing power parity, from 1980 to 1985, the U.S.
4. PPP exchange rates are not directly observable in the marketplace, but
are estimated by international organizations—such as the Organisation for
Economic Co-Operation and Development, the United Nations, and the World
Bank—by comparing prices for specific goods and services across countries.
For additional information on PPP exchange rates see the appendix.
Although more appropriate for this exercise than MER'S, the PPP exchange
rates used pertain to prices to the consumer rather than to the producer, which
can cause some measurement error.

dollar price of German marks fell by nearly 40
percent even though the average rate of inflation,
measured in consumer prices, was more than 2
percentage points higher in the United States than
in Germany.' MER-based translation of a given
volume of production by MOFA'S under these conditions would have shown a dramatic decrease,
even though in fact none had occurred.
For other host countries, the data needed for
the preferred procedure were unavailable, and
real dollar-denominated estimates were derived
simply by deflating the current-dollar estimates
(which had been translated at MER'S) by the implicit price deflator for U.S. gross domestic product
originating in nonpetroleum manufacturing industries. The estimates constructed using this
procedure, though crude, appear to provide reasonable approximations of the true values of real
gross product for the group even if not for each
country. (See the section "Methodology" for
further discussion of both procedures.)
The remainder of the article comprises two parts
and an appendix. The first part examines trends in
the real gross product estimates and their relationship to the current-dollar estimates. The second
part provides a detailed description of the methodology used to prepare the estimates. The appendix
provides a brief introduction to PPP exchange rates.

This section examines trends in the real gross
product estimates for MOFA'S in manufacturing.
The trends in the estimates of real gross product
are then compared with those in the current-dollar
estimates of gross product.
All countries
The real gross product of MOFA'S in manufacturing grew at an average annual rate of 2.5 percent
in 1982-94—below the 3.i-percent growth rate in
real gross product originating in manufacturing
industries in the United States but above the about
2-percent growth rate in the real gross product of
U.S. parents in manufacturing. 6
5. As an example of the failure of MER'S to track absolute price levels
of a particular good or service, the U.S.-dollar prices of a popular fast-food
sandwich in various countries have been compared under the prevailing MER'S:
In 1994, the sandwich cost 52.30 in the United States, $3.77 in }apan, and $1.66
in Hungary. See Michael R. Pakko and Patricia S. Pollard, "For Here or To Go?
Purchasing Power Parity and the Big Mac," Review (Federal Reserve Bank of St.
Louis, |anuary/Februaryi996): 3-17.
6. For MOFA'S, the industry group "manufacturing" excludes petroleum
and coal product manufacturing. MOFA'S (and U.S. parents) are classified by
an enterprise-based system in which all petroleum-related activities (such asoil
extraction, refining, and gasoline retailing) are classified in a separate "petroleum" category. For this reason, the estimate of real gross product originating in
all U.S. manufacturing industries used in this comparison excludes petroleum

productive capacity that result from expansion
or contraction of existing affiliates, establishment
of new affiliates (or "greenfield investments")*
acquisitions of existing foreign firms, and selloffs. Because the direction of the changes in
MOFA gross product corresponds with the direction of the changes in economic conditions
in several major host-country locations (including Europe, Canada, and Australia), growth
in MOFA gross product during 1982-94 probably was mostly accounted for by growth in
existing operations, which would be expected
to mirror host-country economic conditions.
However, greenfield investments and acquisitions
also appear to have contributed significantly to
the growth in the gross product of MOFA'S in
some countries.

The patterns of growth in the real gross product
of MOFA'S in manufacturing differed throughout
1982-94, but these patterns can be roughly divided
into three parts: An average annual growth of
3.8 percent from 1982 to 1989, an average annual
decline of 2.6 percent from 1989 to 1992, and an
average annual growth of 5.9 percent from 1992 to
1994.
Changes in MOFA gross product are the net result of several factors—changes in the capacity
utilization of existing MOFA facilities, changes in
and coal products manufacturing. For details on the industrial classification
of MOFA'S, see "A Guide to BEA Statistics on U.S. Multinational Companies,"
SURVEY 75 (March 1995): 38-55.
Rough estimates of real gross product for U.S. parents in manufacturing
were derived by deflating the current-dollar estimates at the broad industry level
shown in table 4 by the implicit price deflators for U.S. gross domestic product
originating in those industries.

current-dollar value of the corresponding series by a Fisher quantity index (see the text for details). Because the
formula for the Fisher quantity indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar

19 OECD countries
From 1982 to 1994, real gross product of MOFA'S
in manufacturing in 19 member countries of the
Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) grew at an average annual rate
of 2.2 percent—the same as the (weighted) average annual rate of growth in total industrial
production in these countries (table 2 and
chart 2)7 Even on a year-to-year basis, the movements in the gross product estimates generally
tracked the industrial production in the host
countries.
From 1982 to 1989, the estimates of real gross
product for MOFA'S in the 19 countries grew at
an average annual rate of 4.3 percent, compared
with a 3.i-percent growth rate for host-country
7. For this comparison, a composite index of industrial production was derived by weighting each country's index by that country's share of the cumulative
dollar value of real gross product of MOFA'S in manufacturing in 1982-94.
The concepts, coverage, and method of computation of industrial production indexes are similar to those of estimates of real gross product of MOFA'S
in manufacturing. However, the industrial production indexes include the
mining, petroleum refining, and electric and gas utilities industries, and some
countries' industrial production indexes are based on the changes in the total
output (sales plus inventory change) in specific industries rather than on the
gross product originating in them. In addition, the industry-level changes are
often aggregated with fixed benchmark-year weights rather than with chained
weights like those used for the real gross product estimates.

industrial production. The growth in gross product was widespread, reflecting an extended period
of economic growth in most of the OECD countries. Greenfield investments and acquisitions may
have also contributed to the growth in several host
countries—such as Ireland, Japan, the Netherlands, and Spain—where MOFA gross product grew
much faster than the worldwide average.
From 1989 to 1992, the estimates of real gross
product for MOFA'S decreased at an average annual
rate of 4.6 percent, compared with a growth rate of
o.i percent for host-country industrial production.
The decrease reflected falling capacity utilization
for MOFA'S (related to slow growth or recession
in host-country economies) that more than offset the modest growth in the productive capacity
of MOFA'S during this period. Among the larger
host countries, Australia, Canada, and the United
Kingdom had the largest decreases, perhaps because economic recessions began earlier in those
countries than in most other OECD countries.
From 1992 to 1994, the estimates of real gross
product for MOFA'S increased at an average annual
rate of 5.5 percent, compared with a 2.o-percent
growth rate for host-country industrial production. The increases in gross product were widespread and mainly reflected renewed economic
growth in the host countries.
All other countries
From 1982 to 1994, real gross product of MOFA'S
in manufacturing in "all other countries" grew
at an average annual rate of 3.6 percent. Unlike
the growth in the 19 OECD countries, the growth
in these countries was slowest from 1982 to 1989,
partly reflecting the effects of a debt crisis in Latin
America. From 1989 to 1994, growth accelerated, reflecting renewed economic growth in Latin
America and new investments by U.S. MNC'S in
emerging markets worldwide.

All countries.—The real and current-dollar
estimates of gross product present very different pictures of the level and growth of U.S.
companies' overseas manufacturing activities in
1982-94. The differences can be explained largely
by exchange-rate conditions rather than by changes
in prices.
Unlike most real and current-dollar series, the
levels of the estimates of real and current-dollar
gross product do not match in the base year, 1993,
of the real series; the cur rent-dollar estimate is
$177.7 billion, whereas the real estimate is

April 1997

11

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

12 • April 1997




$153.2 billion (table 2). The difference results from
differences in the exchange rates on which the estimates ;are based: The current-dollar estimates are
based on MER'S, and the real estimates are based on
PPP exchange rates. The lower level of the real series in 1993 reflects the higher exchange value of the
dollar under PPP exchange rates in 1993 than under MER'S. Under the prevailing MER, one unit of
currency could have purchased more, on average,
in the United States than it could have abroad.
During 1982-94, the year-to-year changes in the
real estimates differed from those in the currentdollar estimates. Real gross product of MOFA'S
in manufacturing grew at an average annual rate
of 2.5 percent, compared with an average annual
growth rate of 5.9 percent for the current-dollar
estimates. Most of the divergence occurred in
1985-90 (chart i). From 1982 to 1985, the two series moved roughly in tandem, probably because
changes in the MER value of the dollar were consistent with those needed to maintain purchasing
power parity between the dollar and the currencies
of the countries where U.S. MNC'S were producing;
the dollar appreciated at a time when U.S. inflation was generally milder than that of the major
host countries (table 3). From 1985 to 1990, the
real estimates grew at an average annual rate of
3.9 percent, compared with a i4.o-percent rate for
the current-dollar estimates. The difference in the
growth rates probably reflects the depreciation of
the MER value of the dollar; the dollar depreciated
substantially even though U.S. inflation continued
to be generally milder than that abroad. From 1990
to 1994, the differences between the two series were
smaller, probably reflecting relative stability in the
MER value of the dollar.
19 OECD countries.—For most of the 19 OECD countries, the relationship between the cur rent-dollar
and the real estimates of gross product was similar
to that for all countries. In 1993, the levels of the
current-dollar estimates exceeded those of the real
estimates in all but two countries (Greece and New
Zealand). Like the estimates for all countries, the
current-dollar estimates for the 19 countries grew
more than twice as fast, on average, as the esti-

mates of real gross product. The differences in the
growth rates for the largest OECD host countries
were generally most pronounced between 1985 and
1988 (chart 3).
All other countries.—In contrast to the levels for
the 19 OECD countries, the levels of the estimates of
current-dollar and real gross product for all other
countries are identical in 1993, and in the other
years, the differences between the two series simply
reflect inflation as measured by the U.S. implicit
price deflator for gross domestic product originating in nonpetroleum manufacturing industries.
This relationship results from the method used to
produce the real gross product estimates for these
countries.

Methodology
This section describes the methodology for preparing the estimates of real gross product, which were
derived by adjusting the current-dollar estimates.
Current-dollar gross product estimates
Gross product for a firm, such as a MOFA, can be
measured as its gross output (sales or receipts and
other operating income, plus inventory change)
less its purchased intermediate inputs (purchased
goods and services). Alternatively, gross product
can be measured as the sum of the costs incurred
(other than for intermediate inputs) and the profits earned in production. The current-dollar gross
product estimates for MOFA'S are prepared by summing costs and profits. The data on costs and
profits are collected in BEA'S annual and benchmark surveys of U.S. direct investment abroad
and are combined with BEA estimates of some
items.8 Survey respondents are asked to follow U.S.
generally-accepted accounting principles (GAAP),
which require that revenues and costs denominated in foreign currencies be translated to U.S.
dollars, using the average MER for the year.9 Therefore, the gross product estimates that are derived
from these data reflect what a U.S. buyer would
pay, at the prevailing MER, to purchase the gross
product of MOFA'S from abroad.

9. However, in accordance with GAAP, the revenues and expenses of affiliates
operating in hyperinflationary economies are translated daily into U.S. dollars
at the prevailing daily MER'S; thus, the accounts for these affiliates are, in effect,
kept in dollars.

used for the estimates for 19 major host countries that account for over three-quarters of the
total gross product of MOFA'S in manufacturing. A
cruder procedure was used for the estimates for
other host countries, because the data needed for
the preferred procedure were unavailable.
19 OECD countries.—The estimates of real gross
product for the 19 OECD countries were prepared
in two steps (chart 4). First, estimates for a base
year, 1993, were prepared using PPP exchange rates
inplaceofMER's.
Product-specific, rather than economywide, PPP
exchange rates were used because they are considered more appropriate for translating gross
product for a particular group of industries, such
as manufacturing industries.10 For the 19 OECD
countries, PPP exchange rates for specific final consumption and investment expenditure categories
were available from the OECD and were used in deriving the base-year estimates of real gross product
for MOFA'S in these countries.11
10. See, for example, Peter Hooper, "Comparing Manufacturing Output Levels Among the Major Industrial Countries," in Industry Productivity:
International Comparison and Measurement Issues (Paris: OECD, 1996).
11. The exchange rates used in this study were published in OECD, Purchasing
Power Parities and Real Expenditures 1993, EKS Results, Volume i (Paris: OECD,
1995).

The estimates for the base year were derived as
follows (chart 4, "Base Year"). First, the currentdollar estimates for each of the 19 OECD countries and for 7 major manufacturing industries
(table 4, column i) in each country were translated
back into current local currency by using the average MER for the year. Second, the estimates for
each industry were retranslated into U.S. dollars
by using the most appropriate PPP exchange rate
(table 4, column 3). Third, the industry-level estimates for each country were summed to produce
the base-year estimates by country. Fourth, the estimates for each country were summed to produce
the base-year estimate for all 19 countries.
The second step in producing the real gross
product estimates was to extrapolate the baseyear estimates to other years (1982-92 and 1994)
by using chain-weighted Fisher quantity indexes
(chart 4, "Other Years"). The current-dollar estimates at the country and industry level were
first translated back into current local currency.
It would have been preferable to use PPP exchange rates that were based
on producers' prices rather than on consumers' prices, or that had otherwise
been adjusted for differences between expenditure and output prices, but none
were readily available. Some analysts, such as Hooper (1996), have attempted
to make rough adjustments for some of these factors (such as cross-country
differences in distribution margins and indirect taxes).

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

The resulting estimates by industry were then
used, along with country- and industry-specific
producer price indexes (table 4, column 2), to construct a chain-weighted Fisher quantity index for
each country.12
The following Fisher quantity index (Q) was
used to estimate the change in the real gross product for MO FA'S in a country between any two
adjacent years:13

where the pys are prices in local currency, the q's
are quantities, the i's are industries, and i and 2 are
adjacent years.
Because the variables that represent the composites of prices in one period and the quantities in
another (such as pn 412) are not directly observable, the quantity indexes were actually computed
using an algebraically equivalent formula consisting of combinations of prices and quantities of
the same period (the current-local-currency estimates) and indexes of relative prices in the two
periods (the ratios of producer price indexes).14
The Fisher quantity indexes were used as the
bases for extrapolating the dollar-denominated
ppp-based estimates for the base year (1993) to the
other years covered (1982-92 and 1994) .15
12. The industry-specific producer price indexes are from the OECD
Indicators of Industrial Activities (Paris, OECD, various quarterly issues).
13. A similar equation is used to measure changes in total U.S. gross domestic
product. See, for example, "A Look at How BEA Presents the National Income
and Product Accounts," SURVEY 76 (May 1996): 36.
14. The rewritten Fisher quantity index is as follows:

' Pi24i2

'Pillil
15. Ideally, the gross product estimates would have been derived using a
double-deflation method (applying separate price deflators to output in current
local currency and to purchased inputs in current local currency), but source
data were not available to use this method. For this reason and because the
gross product of MOFA'S is calculated from the "income" components (rather
than by subtracting purchased inputs from gross output), the quantity index
of real output had to be derived by applying a price deflator directly to the
current-price gross product estimates.

April 1997

The estimate for all 19 countries for each year
was derived by extrapolating the base-year estimate
using a Fisher quantity index that aggregated across
countries as well as across industries.16
All other countries.—Real gross product estimates
for all other countries were derived using a cruder
method because of the limited availability of data.
The estimates were prepared on the basis of the assumption that MER'S tend to maintain purchasing
power parity between these countries' currencies
and the U.S. dollar. Therefore, the real gross
product estimates were derived by simply deflating the current-dollar gross product estimates with
the U.S. implicit price deflator for gross domestic
product originating in manufacturing.
The assumption that MER'S maintain purchasing
power parity between currencies is clearly naive,
but certain factors precluded the use of the method
followed for the 19 OECD countries. First, some of
the most important host countries in this group
experienced hyperinflation during much of the period being examined, and the use of the available
average annual MER'S could not be relied upon to
produce estimates that approximated the actual
local-currency-denominated values.17 Second, although economywide PPP exchange rates were
available for many (if not all) of these countries,
PPP exchange rates can be very imprecise and difficult to interpret for pairs of countries—such as the
United States and many lower income non-OECD
countries—for which the patterns of consumption
and production differ so sharply as to almost preclude the construction of a common representative
market basket of goods and services.18 Because of
16. In contrast to the computation of the index for each country, the
current-local-currency estimates (such as pn cm) for each country had to be
translated to a common currency before they could be used in computing the
index for the 19 countries combined. The current-local-currency estimates for
all years (1982-94) were translated to U.S. dollars using the PPP exchange rates
for 1993, yielding dollar-denominated series that reflected host-country price
conditions. Though not true ppp-based current-dollar series (because they
reflected foreign rather than U.S. price conditions), these dollar-denominated
series had to be constructed as an intermediate step in deriving an extrapolator
for the base-year aggregate.
17. As noted earlier, the data underlying the estimates for such countries
typically would have been translated into dollars by MNC'S on a daily basis.
18. These limitations notwithstanding, future refinements to the estimates might include incorporating ppp-exchange-rate data for some of these

these methodological limitations, real gross product estimates were not produced for these countries
individually.
Despite the widespread divergences of MER'S
from PPP exchange rates, there is reason to believe
that the cruder methodology provides reasonable
estimates at a highly aggregated level. MER'S and
PPP exchange rates may tend to converge over the
long term, particularly for groups of countries (because the overvaluation of some currencies, in a
PPP sense, may tend to be offset by the undervaluation of others).19 In addition, the real gross
product estimates for this group of countries tend
to track—with, as would be expected, a lead—
long-term changes in MOFA employment during
1982-94.
A Fisher quantity index for extrapolating the
base-year estimates of all countries combined was
derived using the same data and procedure used to
create the index for the 19 OECD countries except
that the estimates for all other countries combined
were included in the computation as an additional
observation.

Appendix: Purchasing-Power-Parity
Exchange Rates
To compare gross product among countries, a
common unit of measure, such as the U.S. dollar,
is needed. To translate gross product estimates
denominated in foreign currencies into U.S. dollars for international gross product comparisons,
PPP exchange rates should be used, because they
approximate the number of foreign currency units
required in a foreign country to buy goods and
services that are equivalent to those that can be
bought in the United States with i U.S. dollar.20
PPP exchange rates are derived by comparing
the domestic prices for goods and services in different countries. For example, in a hypothetical
one-good, two-country world economy, the PPP
exchange rate would equal the ratio of the price of
the good in one country to the price in the other
country; if the good sold for 10 currency units in
country A and i currency unit in country B, the
PPP exchange rate would be 10 units of country A's
countries—particularly those whose economies are relatively advanced and are
not experiencing hyperinflation.
19. A study by Craig S. Hakkio identifies a tendency for MER'S to converge
with PPP exchange rates over the long term. See "Is Purchasing Power Parity
a Useful Guide to the Dollar?" Economic Review, Third Quarter 1992 (Federal
Reserve Bank of Kansas City, 1992): 37-51. James R. Lothian and Mark P. Taylor
find a similar result in "Real Exchange Rate Behavior: The Recent Float from
the Perspective of the Past Two Centuries" Journal of Political Economy', 104, no.
3 (1996): 488-509.
20. MER'S are, however, more appropriate than PPP exchange rates for some
purposes, such as comparing the dollar-denominated production costs of MNC'S
in various countries.

currency to i unit of country B's currency. However, in practice, the derivation of PPP exchange
rates is much more complex because of the multitude of goods and services produced and because
of the differences among economies in the relative importance of those goods and services. To
deal with these complexities, ppp-exchange-rate
formulas have been developed.
ppp-exchange-rate formulas
Simple two-country, or bilateral, comparisons are
the most basic context in which to compute PPP exchange rates. The most widely used bilateral index
is the Fisher formula, which is based on the Fisher
Ideal Price Index.21 It is the geometric mean of
the own-country-weighted and partner-countryweighted averages of prices (expressed in each
country's currency) in the two countries for goods
and services—traded and untraded alike—that are
consumed in both countries.
The Fisher formula (PPPF) is

PPPln=
A:B

\

£ pAi<lBi
£ pBiClBi'

where the i's are individual goods and services, the
p's are prices, the (fs are quantities, and A and B
are countries.
For multilateral comparisons, PPP exchange
rates must be derived using formulas specifically
designed to ensure that the direct comparison of
any two currencies is consistent with all indirect
comparisons of those currencies via third currencies. When such consistency exists, the exchange
rates are said to have the property of "transitivity." For example, to be transitive, the exchange
rate for U.S. dollars to German marks must equal
the product of the exchange rate for U.S. dollars
to Japanese yen and the exchange rate for Japanese
yen to German marks. The multilateral PPP exchange rates that were used in this study are based
on a formula that was simultaneously and independently developed in 1964 by Odon filteto and
Pal Koves and by Bohdan Szulc.22 The formula is
often referred to simply as the "EKS method."23

Developing PPP exchange rates
The task of producing a ftiiiltitoteral' system of
PPP exchange rates is formidable: A list of the
goods and services that are common to a group
of countries must be defined, and the items being
compared must be similar in features and quality;
price and quantity data for each item in each country must be collected; and the PPP exchange rates
must be calculated.
Pioneering work in this area began in the i95o's.24
In 1968, the first organized effort to produce PPP
exchange rates on an ongoing basis was undertaken

European Economic Co-Operation, 1954).




by the United Nations under the name International Comparison Project (ICP). The first results
of the ICP, covering 1970, were published in 1975.25
The OECD countries, while continuing to participate in the ICP, began their own program to
produce PPP exchange rates for member countries
in the early 1980*8. The PPP exchange rates used
in this article were obtained from the OECD study
covering 1993. H

U.S. International Transactions,
Fourth Quarter and Year 1996
By Christopher L Bach

FOURTH QUARTER 1996

The following are highlights for the fourth
quarter of 1996:

HE u.s. current-account deficit decreased to
$41.4 billion in the fourth quarter from $47.9
billion (revised) in the third (table A).1 The deficits
on goods and services and on investment income
decreased, while net unilateral transfers increased.
In the capital account, net recorded inflows were
$68.0 billion in the fourth quarter, compared with
net inflows of $69.7 billion in the third, as both
U.S. assets abroad and foreign assets in the United
States accelerated by about the same amount.
The statistical discrepancy—errors and omissions in recorded transactions—was an outflow of
$26.6 billion in the fourth quarter, compared with
an outflow of $21.8 billion in the third.

T

i. Quarterly estimates of U.S. current- and capital-account components are
seasonally adjusted when statistically significant seasonal patterns are present.
The accompanying tables present both adjusted and unadjusted estimates.

• The deficit on goods fell, as exports increased
and imports changed little.
• Capital outflows for U.S. assets abroad increased strongly, as a result of both large
direct investment outflows and large-scale
bank lending to meet a surge in demand for
dollar credits at banks abroad.
• Capital inflows for foreign assets in the United
States increased strongly, as a result of both
exceptional net foreign purchases of U.S.
Treasury securities by private foreigners and
large borrowing by U.S. banks to meet a simultaneous surge in domestic and international
loan demand.
• The U.S. dollar appreciated i percent on a
trade-weighted average basis for the quarter.

and other countries to meet the convergence requirements for implementation of the European
Monetary Union (EMU).

The dollar appreciated 5 percent against the
Mexican peso, mostly in October and November,
following a several quarters of relative stability.

The dollar appreciated to a 45-month high at
quarterend against the Japanese yen; despite some
recovery in the Japanese economy, the quarterly
real growth pattern remained erratic, and substantially higher yields were available on assets abroad
than on Japanese assets. Yields on U.S. Government bonds exceeded those on Japanese bonds
by 400 basis points, and U.S. and most foreign
stock prices increased strongly in the quarter, while
Japanese stock prices declined 10 percent; the decline in Japanese stock prices partly reflected the
failure of several Japanese financial institutions and
a further decline in the value of Japanese bank
assets. In this environment, net capital outflows
from Japan were large in October and November;
some of these outflows were into German marks.

Current Account

The dollar depreciated 5 percent against the
British pound. Rising interest-rate differentials in
favor of British assets, stronger expansion than in
some other European countries, and the pound's
isolation from some of the uncertainties surrounding other European currencies led the pound to its
highest level against the dollar in 4 years.

Goods and services

The deficit on goods and services decreased to
$26.3 billion in the fourth quarter from $34.3 billion in the third. The deficit on goods decreased
substantially, and the surplus on services increased.
Goods.—The deficit on goods decreased to $45.3
billion in the fourth quarter from $51.9 billion in
the third. The reduction resulted from a much
larger increase in exports than in imports.
Exports.—Exports increased $8.2 billion, or 5
percent, to $158.4 billion in the fourth quarter.
Quantity increased 7 percent.2 Nonagricultural
goods accounted for nearly all of the increase in
value.
Nonagricultural exports increased $7.8 billion,
or 6 percent, to $142.9 billion. Quantity increased 6 percent. Nearly three-fourths of the
increase in value was attributable to capital goods.
Within capital goods, almost 40 percent of the
increase was accounted for by a surge in aircraft
deliveries. Among other capital goods, semiconductors and telecommunications equipment
recovered somewhat after three quarters of decline; however, computers, peripherals, and parts
again changed little. Industrial supplies and materials increased only moderately, largely in energy
products, chemicals, and paper and paper products. Consumer goods also increased. Automotive
products decreased, reflecting a drop in parts
shipped to Canada as a result of strikes against a
U.S. manufacturer during the quarter.
Agricultural exports increased $0.4 billion, or
3 percent, to $15.4 billion. Quantity increased 10
percent. The increase in value was attributable to
corn, largely to the Republic of Korea and other
developing countries in Asia; cotton, to the developing countries in Asia; and soybeans, largely to
Western Europe and China. The prices of soybeans
and wheat fell sharply in the quarter.
Imports.—Imports increased $1.7 billion, or i
percent, to $203.7 billion in the fourth quarter. Quantity was unchanged. Petroleum and
nonpetroleum imports each accounted for about
one-half of the increase in value.
2. Quantity estimates are in chained (1992) dollars; price indexes are chaintype measures.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Nonpetroleum imports increased $0.9 billion,
or less than i percent, to $184.9 billion. Moderate increases in consumer goods and capital goods
were partly offset by a sizable drop in automotive products; passenger cars and parts imported
from Canada fell substantially as a result of strikes
against a U.S. manufacturer.
Petroleum imports increased $0.8 billion, or 4
percent, to $18.8 billion. The increase was attributable to a rise in price to an average $22.31 per
barrel from $19.57 per barrel. The average number
of barrels imported daily decreased to 9.21 million from 10.04 million. Consumption increased 3
percent, production changed little, and inventories
were down 2 percent.

Investment income
The deficit on investment income decreased to $2.4
billion in the fourth quarter from $4.1 billion in the
third, as receipts increased more than payments.
Direct investment income.—Income receipts on
U.S. direct investment abroad increased to $27.3
billion in the fourth quarter from $23.9 billion
in the third. Earnings were especially strong in
Western Europe and were spread across finance,
manufacturing, and petroleum affiliates.
Income payments on foreign direct investment
in the United States were $9.0 billion in the fourth
quarter, down slightly from $9.1 billion in the third.
A decrease in interest payments was nearly offset
by an increase in earnings.

Services.—The surplus on services increased to
$19.0 billion in the fourth quarter from $17.6 billion
in the third. Travel and passenger fares accounted
for most of the increases in both service receipts
and service payments.
Foreign visitors spent $16.5 billion in the United
States, up 5 percent. Receipts from overseas visitors were $14.1 billion, up 7 percent; receipts from
Canada were $1.7 billion, up 4 percent; and receipts
from Mexico were $0.7 billion, down 7 percent.
U.S. travelers spent $12.5 billion abroad, up 5 percent. Payments to overseas residents were $9.9
billion, up 7 percent; payments to Canada were
$1.1 billion, up 4 percent; and payments to Mexico
were $1.4 billion, down 4 percent.
Passenger fare receipts were $5.0 billion, up 5
percent, and passenger fare payments were $3.7
billion, also up 5 percent.
"Other" transportation receipts increased $0.2
billion, to $7.5 billion, as a result of higher
port expenditure receipts; "other" transportation
payments were unchanged at $7.5 billion.
Royalties and license fee payments decreased
$0.4 billion, to $1.6 billion; third-quarter payments
had been boosted by a one-time $0.5 billion payment for broadcast rights to the Summer Olympic
Games.
"Other" private service receipts were virtually
unchanged at $17.0 billion, and "other" private
service payments increased $0.2 billion, to $9.7 billion, as a result of higher payments for financial
services.

Portfolio investment income.—Receipts of income
on "other" private investment were $24.5 billion
in the fourth quarter, up from $23.6 billion in the
third, mostly as a result of higher claims. Payments
of income on "other" private investment were $26.1
billion, up from $25.2 billion, mostly as a result of
higher liabilities.
Receipts of income on U.S. Government assets
dropped to $0.8 billion from $1.3 billion. In the
first three quarters, receipts had been boosted by
interest earned on holdings of Mexican pesos under short- and medium-term swap arrangements;
however, the Mexican Government repaid a large
part of the swaps in the third quarter so that U.S.
holdings of pesos were considerably lower in the
fourth quarter. Payments of income on U.S. Government liabilities were $19.9 billion, up from $18.5
billion.

Transfers under U.S. military sales contracts
were $3.9 billion, up from $3.3 billion, as a result of
a bunching in deliveries of armored vehicles to several countries. Direct defense expenditures abroad
were unchanged at $2.8 billion.

Net recorded capital inflows—-that is, net changes
in U.S. assets abroad less net changes in foreign
assets in the United States—were $68.0 billion in
the fourth quarter, compared with net inflows of
$69.7 billion in the third, as both U.S. assets abroad




Unilateral transfers
Net unilateral transfers were $12.6 billion in the
fourth quarter, up from $9.5 billion in the third.
Nearly all of the increase was attributable to U.S.
Government grants, which rose to $5.4 billion from
$2.6 billion as a result of cash grants to Israel—$1.8
billion under the credit waiver program to finance
military purchases and $1.2 billion to finance economic purchases. These funds were drawn in their
entirety as soon as the U.S. Congress appropriated
funds early in the new fiscal year.

and foreign assets in the United States accelerated
by about the same amount.
U.S. assets abroad
U.S. assets abroad increased $114.1 billion in the
fourth quarter, compared with an increase of $73.3
billion in the third. Direct investment outflows and
U.S. claims on foreigners reported by U.S. banks
were sharply higher in the fourth quarter than in
the third.
U.S. official reserve assets.—U.S. official reserve
assets increased $0.3 billion in the fourth quarter, following a $7.5 billion decrease in the third.
The decrease in the third quarter was largely
from repayment of Mexican swap arrangements
(table C).
Claims reported by U.S. banks.—U.S. claims on
foreigners reported by U.S. banks increased $56.7
billion in the fourth quarter, compared with an
increase of $33.2 billion in the third.
Banks' own claims payable in dollars increased
$56.2 billion in the fourth quarter, following an $8.7
billion increase in the third. The increase in the
fourth quarter was to meet the surge in demand
for dollar credits in the Eurodollar market, to finance corporate merger and acquisition activity,
which remained strong, and to finance substantial
net foreign purchases of U.S. Treasury securities.
Lending to offices in the Caribbean and London
for yearend bookkeeping purposes was sizable, but
not as large as in some recent years. Lending by
U.S. securities dealers to international bond funds
in the Caribbean also surged, primarily in November and December; a large part of this lending was
likely in the form of resale agreements. Some of the
funding for these loans was obtained from abroad.

Foreign securities.—Net U.S. purchases of foreign
securities were $27.0 billion in the fourth quarter,
up from $22.9 billion in the third.
Net U.S. purchases of foreign bonds were $17.1
billion, up from $14.9 billion, largely reflecting
strength in new foreign bond issues in the United
States. By type of issuer, new issues by private
corporations increased to $11.2 billion from $6.4
billion. By country, new issues from the emerging countries of Asia and Latin America increased
to $11.2 billion from $9.4 billion. Gross trading
activity (purchases plus sales) increased 15 percent.
Net U.S. purchases of foreign stocks were $9.9
billion, up from $8.0 billion. Net purchases in the
United Kingdom were $4.1 billion, up from $1.7
billion; net purchases in other European countries
were also up. Net purchases in emerging market
countries were down slightly, but remained strong.
Gross trading activity increased 28 percent.
Direct investment.—Net capital outflows for U.S.
direct investment abroad were $29.8 billion in the
fourth quarter, compared with $9.1 billion in the
third. A large shift to intercompany debt outflows,
a strong increase in reinvested earnings, and an increase in equity capital outflows contributed to a
step-up in total outflows to a level that was somewhat higher than in the first two quarters of 1996.
The $14.6 billion shift to intercompany debt outflows was more than accounted for by transfers
of funds from U.S. parents to financial affiliates
abroad, mostly to securities brokers and dealers in
the United Kingdom.
Foreign assets in the United States
Foreign assets in the United States increased $182.0
billion in the fourth quarter, compared with an
increase of $143.0 billion in the third. Net foreign

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

purchases of U.S. Treasury securities by private
foreigners were substantially higher in the fourth
quarter than in the third, and U.S. liabilities
reported by U.S. banks shifted to a sizable increase.
Foreign official assets.—Foreign official assets in the
United States increased $33.0 billion in the fourth
quarter, compared with an increase of $24.2 billion
in the third. In the fourth quarter, assets of nonOPEC developing countries increased at more than
triple the pace in the third quarter, while assets of
industrial countries slowed to only a small increase
(table C).
Liabilities reported by banks.—U.S. liabilities reported by U.S. banks other than U.S. Treasury
securities increased $33.2 billion in the fourth quarter, in contrast to a $1.2 billion decrease in the
third.
Banks' own liabilities payable in dollars increased
$40.0 billion in the fourth quarter, following a $2.4
billion decrease. U.S. banks borrowed heavily to finance the simultaneous increases in domestic and
foreign demand for dollar credits, which included
dollar credits to finance the surge in net foreign
purchases of U.S. Treasury securities by private
foreigners. Most of the borrowing was from offices in the Caribbean and London, particularly
in October and December. U.S. banks' liabilities
payable in foreign currencies decreased $7.3 billion,
following a $0.5 billion decrease.
U.S. Treasury securities.—Net foreign purchases of
U.S. Treasury securities were a record $67.3 billion
in the fourth quarter, up from $43.4 billion in the
third. Sharply rising bond prices, a large interest differential in favor of U.S. assets over foreign
assets, and dollar appreciation were major factors
contributing to the surge.
Net purchases by international bond funds in the
Caribbean accelerated to $28.5 billion from $5.5 billion; large net purchases, mostly in November and
December, were partly financed by borrowing from
U.S. securities dealers. Net purchases by Western
Europe remained strong at $28.3 billion, compared
with $27.5 billion. Net purchases by Japan and
other Asian countries accelerated to $16.6 billion
from $12.6 billion. Gross trading activity increased
31 percent.
Other U.S. securities.—Net foreign purchases of
U.S. securities other than U.S. Treasury securities
were $31.7 billion in the fourth quarter, down from
$34.8 billion in the third.
Net foreign purchases of U.S. corporate and
other bonds were $30.8 billion, down from $33.3
billion. New bond issues sold abroad by U.S. cor-




porations remained strong at $14.6 billion, up from
$13.7 billion. Net foreign purchases of outstanding
corporate bonds dropped to $3.4 billion from $7.4
billion. Net foreign purchases of outstanding and
newly issued U.S. agency bonds increased slightly
to $12.8 billion from $12.2 billion. Gross trading
activity of corporate and other bonds increased 43
percent.
Net foreign purchases of U.S. stocks were $1.0
billion, down from $1.6 billion. Although U.S.
stock prices rose 8 percent on strong corporate
earnings, net purchases weakened. However, gross
trading activity increased 31 percent and was heavy
throughout the quarter.
Direct investment.—Net capital inflows for foreign
direct investment in the United States were $16.8
billion in the fourth quarter, compared with $21.1
billion in the third. A large shift to intercompany
debt outflows to foreign parent groups more than
accounted for the drop. Equity inflows accelerated
strongly as a result of several large acquisitions by
investors from Western European countries.

THE YEAR 1996
The U.S. current-account deficit increased to $165.1
billion in 1996 from $148.2 billion in 1995. The
deficits on goods and services and on investment
income increased, as did net unilateral transfers
(table D).
In the capital account, the increase in U.S. assets
abroad changed little, while the increase in foreign
assets in the United States was sharply higher. Consequently, net capital inflows to the United States
increased by a very substantial amount.
The statistical discrepancy—errors and omissions in recorded transactions—was an outflow of
$53.1 billion in 1996, in contrast to an inflow of $31.5
billion in 1995. The large shift is partly a reflection
of the volatility in financial flows in both years.
The following are highlights for the year 1996:
• Goods exports and goods imports each increased one-half as much as in 1995. Exports reflected the second year of slowing in
economic expansion in industrial countries
abroad; expansion in both 1995 and 1996 was
considerably slower than the peak expansion
in 1994. Imports reflected the second year of
slower expansion in the U.S. economy; growth
in 1995 and 1996 averaged 2.2 percent, well
below the 3.5-percent growth in 1994.
• The pace of expansion in securities transactions far exceeded the more moderate pace of

April1997 • 23

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

24 • April 1997




expansion in international banking transactions. Net foreign purchases of U.S. Treasury
securities by private foreigners exceeded by a
substantial margin the record established in
1995. Likewise, net foreign purchases of U.S.
securities other than U.S. Treasury securities
exceeded by a substantial margin the record
established in 1995. Gross trading activity in
these securities transactions was 25 percent
greater than in 1995.
• U.S. banks were more active in international
markets than in recent years, borrowing and
leading in response to strong demands for dollar credits both at home and abroad. Some of
the banking activity was intertwined with, and
an integral part of, securities transactions, including transactions in derivative instruments
and repurchase agreements. Thus, capital inflows to U.S. banks were especially large in the
fourth quarter to meet the simultaneous surge
in both domestic and international loan demand, and capital outflows from U.S. banks
were especially large in the second half of the
year in order to meet the demand for dollar
credits at banking offices abroad and to finance
large net foreign purchases of U.S. securities.
• Net capital inflows for foreign direct investment in the United States eclipsed by a substantial amount the record inflows established
during the last boom in 1987-89.
U.S. dollar in exchange markets.—The U.S. dollar
appreciated 4 percent on a trade-weighted average
basis from the end of December 1995 to the end
of December 1996. On a bilateral basis, the dollar
appreciated 8 percent against the German mark
and 12 percent against the Japanese yen, and it
depreciated 7 percent against the British pound
(table B, chart i).
The dollar's appreciation from its recent low in
April 1995 to the end of December 1996 was

percent on a trade-weighted average basis. On
a bilateral basis, the dollar appreciated 13 percent
against the German mark and 36 percent against
the Japanese yen, and it depreciated 3 percent
against the British pound.
In the first half of 1996, perceptions were widespread that monetary easing in Europe would
proceed at a faster pace than in the United States,
given the slowing of expansion in Europe and
given the strengthening of expansion in the United
States. These perceptions were supported by the
release of weak economic data for Germany, while
economic data for the United States indicated a
pickup from weak growth in the second half of
1995. Thus, U.S. bond prices weakened because
of inflationary fears, which pushed yields substantially higher, simultaneous with a continued strong
increase in U.S. stock prices. These developments
led to a sizable increase in interest-rate differentials
in favor of U.S. assets over European assets and
provided considerable support to the dollar in exchange markets. Interest-rate differentials of U.S.
assets over Japanese assets were even larger than
those over European assets, as Japanese interest
rates reflected an economy that had failed to grow
throughout 1995 and that had shown only erratic
growth in the first half of 1996. Japanese monetary authorities were reported to have intervened
in exchange markets to limit the rise of the yen
against the dollar at times during the first quarter
when market participants expected that Japanese
interest rates might rise.
The dollar's advance was briefly interrupted in
July, when a 10-percent decline in U.S. stock prices
contributed to a sharp, temporary drop in the value
of the dollar against most foreign currencies. In
other developments in the third quarter, release of
the June nonfarm payroll report in July suggested
strengthening in the U.S. economy and implied
a possible tightening of monetary policy. How8 ever, subsequent inflation reports indicated that

inflation remained moderate, and the release of
the July and August Federal Open Market Committee meeting results confirmed that monetary
policy was unchanged. In Europe, interest rates
in many European countries drifted lower, and
in Germany, the Bundesbank lowered the repurchase rate 30 basis points. Anticipated downward
pressures on European currencies during the release of government budgets did not materialize as
countries sought to meet the stringent economic
convergence criteria required for membership in
the European Monetary Union. In Japan, the value
of the yen against the dollar fell further in August
and September, when the release of the secondquarter GDP report indicated that the Japanese
economic recovery was not yet firmly established.
Early in the fourth quarter, additional economic
data confirmed the erratic pattern of the Japanese
recovery, and Japanese stock and bond prices declined by substantial amounts, reflecting a further
deterioration in confidence in the economy, failures of several financial institutions, and declines
in the asset values of many financial institutions.
The interest-rate differential in favor of U.S. bonds
over Japanese bonds rose to 400 basis points, and
Japanese stock prices fell while those in the United
States continued to rise. In this environment, large
capital outflows in search of much higher returns
available on foreign assets put downward pressure
on the yen. In October and November, net capital
outflows from Japan exceeded i trillion yen ($9 billion) each month. Another factor that contributed
to capital outflows was the reported reallocation by

from domestic to international portfolios at the
start of the Japanese fiscal half-year on October i.
Consequently, the dollar continued to appreciate
strongly against the yen through yearend.
The dollar traded in a narrow range against
the British pound for much of the year. However, in the fourth quarter, a sharp rise in British
short-term interest rates and the release of reports indicating an acceleration in British real GDP
growth led to a sizable decline of the dollar against
the pound.
Against the newly industrialized countries of the
Far East, the U.S. dollar appreciated 9 percent
against the South Korean won and appreciated
i percent against the Taiwan dollar. The dollar
was unchanged against the Hong Kong dollar and
depreciated i percent against the Singapore dollar.
Current Account
Goods and services

The deficit on goods and services increased to
$114.2 billion in 1996 from $105.1 billion in 1995.
The larger deficit on goods more than accounted
for the increase; the surplus on services increased.
Goods.—The deficit on goods increased to $187.7
billion in 1996 from $173.4 billion in 1995 and
$166.1 billion in 1994. Both exports and imports
increased, but by only about one-half the dollar amounts they had increased in 1995 (tables E
and F).
U.S. exports slowed sharply in 1996 from a record
increase in 1995, reflecting considerably slower eco-

nomic expansion in the industrial countries abroad
and slightly slower economic expansion in the developing countries of Asia. On an annual basis,
economic expansion in Germany and the other
continental European countries, in the United
Kingdom, and in Canada slowed further in 1996
from 1995. Expansion in Japan was faster. Expansion in the developing countries of Asia was slightly
slower than in 1995, while expansion in Latin America (especially in Mexico) was faster than in 1995.
When measured as a percent change from four
quarters earlier, some countries showed a pickup
in expansion within the year 1996 (chart 4).
U.S. imports also slowed sharply from a record
increase in 1995, reflecting the second year of slower
growth in the U.S. economy. Growth in U.S. real
gross domestic product (GDP) was 2.4 percent in
1996 and 2.0 percent increase in 1995; both years
were well below real GDP growth of 3.5 percent in
1994.
Domestic prices of exports decreased in 1996:
The largest declines were in industrial supplies
and materials and in capital goods; price increases
for agricultural goods remained high (table G).
However, prices increased slightly for many major
categories when converted into foreign currencies,
as depreciation of foreign currencies offset much
of the decrease in domestic prices or added to
domestic price increases (table H).
Dollar prices of most imports decreased or
changed little in 1996. However, the prices of
nonpetroleum industrial supplies and materials
increased somewhat, and prices of petroleum
increased sharply.

Exports.—Nonagricultural exports increased $31.5
billion, or 6 percent, to $550.2 billion in 1996, down
sharply from a 14-percent increase in 1995. Quantity increased 9 percent, down from an n-percent
increase. In value, nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials slowed to a $2.2 billion increase
in 1996 from a $22.9 billion increase in 1995, and
capital goods slowed to a $19.1 billion increase
from a $28.5 billion increase in 1995. Consumer
goods increased slightly more than in 1995, and
automotive products increased less (chart 5).
Capital goods increased $19.1 billion, or 8 percent, to $252.9 billion in 1996, down from a
14-percent increase in 1995. Quantity increased 13
percent, down from a 16-percent increase. Prices
of capital goods declined 4 percent, following a
2-percent decline; prices of computers and semiconductors declined at a considerably more rapid
pace than in 1995, while prices of other capital

goods increased at about the same pace as in 1995.
In value, semiconductors increased only 4 percent
in 1996 after a 36-percent increase in 1995, as a result of an oversupply that began in late 1995 and
continued throughout most of 1996. Exports of
semiconductors had grown exceptionally rapidly
in 1991-95. Computers, peripherals, and parts
slowed to a lo-percent increase from a 19-percent
increase in response to a marked slowing in sales;
exports of these items had grown exceptionally
rapidly in 1994-95. Telecommunications equipment was unchanged in 1996, following 4 years of
exceptional growth. "Other" industrial, agricultural, and service industry machinery also slowed,
reflecting slower economic expansion in major industrial countries. Partly offsetting the slowing in
all of these categories was a substantial increase in

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

1996, following an exceptionally large increase in
1995; a 27-percent decline in price contributed to
the decrease. One-third of the decrease in value
was with the major paper products markets of
Japan and Canada. Chemicals decreased a small
amount in value, following exceptional increases
in 1994 and 1995; prices declined 5 percent. Decreases in chemicals to Taiwan, China, and Mexico
more than accounted for the decrease. Iron and
steel products dropped in value; prices declined 4

percent. Nonmonetary gold increased, offsetting
some of the decreases in value of other commodity
categories (tables F and J).
Automotive products increased $2.6 billion, or
4 percent, to $64.5 billion in 1996, down from
a j-percent increase. Quantity increased 3 percent, down from a 6-percent increase. In value,
shipments of trucks, buses, and automotive parts,
largely to Mexico, were higher than last year. The
increase in parts to Mexico and decrease in parts to

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Canada reflected the continued relocation of production to Mexico from Canada. Strikes at a U.S.
manufacturer late in the year also slowed parts and
passenger cars to Canada.
Consumer goods increased $5.7 billion, or 9 percent, to $70.2 billion in 1996, up from a 7-percent
increase. Quantity increased 8 percent, following a
6-percent increase. In value, shipments picked up
substantially to Latin America, especially Mexico,
and picked up slightly to Western Europe.
Agricultural products increased $4.2 billion, or
7 percent, to $61.4 billion in 1996, down from a
22-percent increase in 1995. The slowdown was
largely in quantity, which shifted to a 2-percent
decrease from a 12-percent increase. In value, a
recovery in world production of cotton sharply
reduced U.S. cotton exports, while shortfalls in
world production of feeds and grains led to record
U.S. corn and soybean exports. Wheat exports
reached the highest level since 1984.
Soybeans increased $1.9 billion, up 12 percent
in quantity and up 24 percent in price. In
value, increases were largely to China, Mexico, the
newly industrialized countries in Asia, and other
developing countries in Asia.
Corn increased $1.2 billion, down 16 percent in
quantity and up 32 percent in price. In value,
shipments to Mexico alone accounted for $0.7
billion of the rise, as severe drought spurred demand for imported grains and feeds. Shipments
to Japan increased $0.6 billion, and shipments to
China decreased $0.6 billion as Chinese production recovered from diminished output during the
1994-95 crop year.
Wheat increased $0.7 billion, down 4 percent
in quantity and up 17 percent in price. In value,
increases were mostly to Mexico, Brazil, Japan, and
Africa.
Cotton decreased $1.0 billion, down 15 percent in
quantity and up 11 percent in price, as foreign output recovered and eased the tight supply situation
of last year.
Imports.—Nonpetroleum imports increased $36.8
billion, or 5 percent, to $731.0 billion in 1996,
down from a 12-percent increase in 1995. Quantity increased 8 percent, down from a lo-percent
increase. In value, capital goods slowed to a $7.5
billion increase in 1996 from a $37.1 billion increase
in 1995, and nonpetroleum industrial supplies and
materials slowed to a $7.3 billion increase from a
$15.2 billion increase. Automotive products and
consumer goods slowed by only small amounts
(charts).
Capital goods increased $7.5 billion, or 3 percent,
to $229.0 billion in 1996, down from a 20-percent




increase. Quantity increased 12 percent, down
from a 22-percent increase. Prices decreased 7
percent, following a 2-percent decrease, as computer and semiconductor prices declined even
more rapidly than in 1995. In value, an oversupply of semiconductors led to a $2.3 billion
decrease, following a $12.9 billion increase, and a
dropoff in sales of computers led to an increase
of only $5.2 billion, following an increase of $10.1
billion; growth had been exceptionally strong in
1991-95 for both semiconductor and computer imports. Telecommunications equipment decreased
$1.0 billion, following an increase of $1.1 billion.
"Other" industrial, agricultural, and service industry machinery also increased by a substantially
smaller amount than in 1995 (table I).
Nonpetroleum industrial supplies and materials increased $7.3 billion, or 6 percent in 1996,
down from a $15.2 billion increase. Quantity
increased 7 percent, compared with a 4-percent
increase. Prices decreased 2 percent, in contrast to
a 9-percent increase. In value, paper and paperbase products decreased following an exceptionally
large increase in 1995; prices fell 8 percent in 1996,
following a 38-percent increase in 1995. Chemicals, after exceptional increases in 1994-95, also
increased less in value, and included a 2-percent
decrease in prices. Bauxite and aluminum, largely
from Russia and Canada, were sharply lower.
Other categories showing increases in value were
lumber (largely from Canada), building materials, iron and steel mill products, and nonmonetary
gold (tables F and J).
Consumer goods increased $11.1 billion, or 7
percent, to $171.1 billion in 1996, down from a 9percent increase. Quantity increased 7 percent,
down from an 8-percent increase. Consumer
goods from Hong Kong, the Republic of Korea,
Singapore, and Taiwan decreased sharply, while
those from China increased. Household products
and toys increased the most. Television, radio, and
stereo products decreased.
Automotive products increased $5.3 billion, or
4 percent, to $130.0 billion in 1996, down from a
6-percent increase. Quantity increased 4 percent,
following a 3-percent increase. Completed cars
from Canada fell, as a result of both strikes at a
U.S. manufacturer late in the year and the continuing transfer of assembly operations to Mexico.
Imports of cars and parts from Japan continued
to decline. New car sales in the United States
decreased i percent.
Petroleum imports increased $13.2 billion, or
24 percent, to $68.3 billion in 1996, up from a
7-percent increase. Nearly all of the increase in

April 1997 •

1996 resulted from a rise in prices to an average of $19.76 per barrel from $16.09 per barrel.
Quantity increased slightly to 9.46 million barrels per day from 9.37 million barrels. The
number of barrels imported from OPEC was unchanged from that in 1993, 1994, and 1995, and
OPEC'S share of total petroleum imports was slightly
lower at 48 percent. In quantity, imports from
Saudi Arabia decreased 11 percent, imports from
both Mexico and Nigeria were unchanged, and
imports from Venezuela increased 10 percent
(chart 6).

a percent of consumption decreased to 52 percent
from 53 percent.
Balances by area.—As noted earlier, the U.S. deficit
on goods increased to $187.7 billion in 1996 from
$173.4 billion in 1995.
The deficit with Western Europe increased to
$24.1 billion from $15.2 billion. Exports of industrial supplies and materials and of capital goods
slowed sharply in response to the deceleration in
economic expansion abroad over the past 2 years,
while imports of capital goods slowed in response
to the second year of only moderate expansion in
the United States (table K, chart 7).
The deficit with Japan decreased to $49.2 billion from $60.4 billion. Exports of industrial
supplies and materials (especially paper and chemicals) and capital goods (especially semiconductors
and electronic components) slowed, while imports

• 31

of industrial supplies and materials and of capital
goods (especially electronic components) fell by
substantial amounts.
The deficit with Latin America increased to $15.3
billion from $10.7 billion. Higher exports in most
major commodity categories (mainly to Mexico)
partly offset some of the continued strength in
all major categories of imports, including higher
imports of petroleum from Venezuela.
The deficit with the developing countries of
Asia increased to $75.7 billion from $69.1 billion. Exports of capital goods slowed sharply
and of industrial supplies and materials fell by
a substantial amount. Imports of capital goods,
largely computers and semiconductors from Hong
Kong, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, and
Taiwan, increased by only one-fifth the amount
in 1995. Imports of consumer goods from the
Hong Kong, the Republic of Korea, Singapore,

largely completed early in the year.
Direct defense expenditures abroad were $11.0
billion in 1996, up from $9.8 billion in 1995. Much
of the step-up was attributable to U.S. peacekeeping operations in Bosnia: Initially, costs of the U.S.
presence changed little as troops were redeployed
from other European locations; subsequently, the
expanded U.S. presence entailed increased costs.

Direct investment income.—Receipts of income on
U.S. direct investment abroad were $98.3 billion in
1996, compared with $88.9 billion in 1995 (table M,
chart 8). Earnings were up for Western Europe;
the much smaller increase in 1996 than in 1995 was
partly attributable to slowing economic expansion
in many of these countries. In the United Kingdom, a rise in earnings of finance affiliates largely
reflected increased trading activity in securities
and stepped-up merger and acquisition activity
throughout Europe. Earnings at manufacturing
affiliates in Mexico reflected strong production of
goods for export (chart 9).

as U.S. residents stepped up their holdings of foreign securities. Interest receipts by banks were held
at the 1995 level, as a decline in interest rates offset
a rise in bank claims.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Payments of income on "other" private investment increased to a record $100.2 billion in 1996
from the previous record of $98.0 billion in 1995
(tableN, charts). The increase in 1996 was due
mostly to higher interest payments on bonds and,
to a smaller extent, an increase in dividend payments on stocks, as foreign residents stepped up
their holdings of U.S. securities. Interest payments
on U.S. bank liabilities decreased as a result of a
decline in interest rates and of little change in bank
liabilities.
Payments of income on U.S. Government liabilities increased to $71.3 billion in 1996 from $61.3
billion in 1995. The increase in 1996 was not as
large as in 1995 because a decline in interest rates
held down the 1996 increase (table O).
Unilateral transfers
Net unilateral transfers were $42.5 billion in 1996,
compared with $35.1 billion in 1995. Much of
the increase was attributable to U.S. Government
grants, which increased to $14.6 billion from $11.0
billion (table O). Grants for 1996 include some
grants that were delayed as a result of the U.S. Government shutdown and budget impasse at the end
of 1995. Under more normal circumstances, these
grants would have been included in 1995 calendar year transfers. Grant disbursements for debt
forgiveness fell to zero in 1996.
Other U.S. Government transfers increased
to $4.2 billion from $3.4 billion, largely as a
result of higher contributions to international
organizations for peacekeeping operations.

April 1997

Capital Account
Net recorded capital inflows—that is, net changes
in U.S. assets abroad less net changes in foreign
assets in the United States—were $218.2 billion in
1996, compared with $116.6 billion in 1995. An
acceleration in foreign assets in the United States
accounted for the larger net capital inflows.
Capital transactions in the U.S. international accounts in 1996, as well as those in 1995, reflect many
of the same developments that have been reshaping
world financial markets.
First, the size of financial flows as well as the level
of financial activity has increased considerably on
a net, as well as a gross, basis. A very favorable
commercial and financial investment climate, both
in the United States and abroad, has fostered these
developments. Concurrently, quarter-to-quarter
and year-to-year fluctuations in recorded capital
flows in the U.S. accounts have become larger.
Second, securities transactions appear to have
taken on a much greater role relative to banking
transactions in the U.S. accounts. In some, but
certainly not all, situations, the securities markets have served as an alternative to fund raising
and risk management through traditional banking
channels.
Third, the traditional distinction between banking transactions and securities transactions has
now become unclear.
The proliferation of
new financial instruments and techniques—from
the broader use of securitized assets and global
bond issues to the use of swaps, forwards, futures, and options in both banking and securities

transactions—has contributed to the blurring of
the distinction and has increased the complexities
of interpreting capital flows in the context of the
U.S. accounts.
Fourth, the use of repurchase agreements has
now become widespread, and they serve as an
important substitute for the acquisition of funds
through interbank borrowing channels. In addition, repurchase agreements serve as yet another
means to bridge the gap between cash and the
futures markets.
Finally, many countries, particularly emerging
market countries, have taken steps to deregulate
financial markets and to improve their financial
infrastructure, market surveillance, and financial
settlements and clearing systems—all of which
contribute to greater mobility of capital.
The development of new financial instruments
and the sophisticated use of financial derivatives reflect fundamental changes in international finance.
These changes affect portfolio, banking, and direct
investment capital flows.
U.S. assets abroad
U.S. assets abroad increased $306.8 billion in 1996,
compared with an increase of $307.9 billion in 1995.
Net U.S. purchases of foreign securities and the
increase in U.S. claims on foreigners reported by
U.S. banks were higher in 1996 than in 1995; U.S.
direct investment outflows were lower.
U.S. official reserve assets.—U.S. official reserve assets decreased $6.7 billion in 1996, in contrast to

a $9.7 billion increase in 1995. A decrease in foreign currency holdings more than accounted for
the decrease in reserve assets in 1996 (table C).
Foreign currency holdings decreased $7.6 billion,
as Mexico repaid $1.3 billion under short-term and
$7.0 billion under medium-term swap arrangements. Mexico also purchased special drawing
rights from the United States for repayment
of loans from the International Monetary Fund
(IMF).
The U.S. reserve position with the IMF increased
$1.3 billion, partly as Russia borrowed dollars from
the General Resources Account at the IMF.
U.S. monetary authorities did not intervene in
the exchange markets in 1996.
U.S. Government assets other than official reserve
assets.—Among these assets, U.S. Government
credits and other long-term assets increased $4.9
billion in 1996, up from an increase of $4.6 billion, largely as a result of an increase in new credits
disbursed by the Export-Import Bank. Partly offsetting was a decrease in new credits disbursed
under agricultural and Commodity Credit Corporation legislative authorities. Little debt was
rescheduled in 1996. Repayments on credits
changed little (table O).
Claims reported by banks.—U.S. claims on foreigners reported by U.S. banks increased $88.2 billion
in 1996, following an increase of $69.1 billion in
1995 (tables P and Q).
On a net basis—that is, banks' own claims

in dollars—there were large net outflows, as the
increase in bank outflows exceeded the increase in
bank inflows. Net credits were extended to finance
the strengthening in demand abroad for interbank
credit, to finance heightened merger and acquisition activity, and to finance the large step-up in
activity in securities markets. Net credits were
nearly twice as large as in 1995, but presentation on
a net basis masks considerable differences in the
nature of activity on the asset and liability sides of
the accounts. Therefore, the following discussion
proceeds on a gross basis.
Banks' own claims payable in dollars increased
$70.6 billion in 1996, compared with a $40.0 billion increase in 1995. Much of the increase in 1996
occurred in the third and fourth quarters when
large amounts of credit were extended to foreign
offices in Western Europe to meet a step-up in
the demand for funds in the Eurodollar market,
to finance heightened merger and acquisition activity that surpassed the previous year's record,
and to finance, in part, the surge in European and
Asian net purchases of U.S. Treasury securities.
On a smaller scale, lending to emerging countries
in Latin America resumed, reflecting these countries' ability to borrow mo re widely in international
bank and capital markets in 1996, whereas, in 1995,
this ability had been limited because of concerns
over credit risk. Lending to Japan was limited for
most of the year because of financial difficulties
at Japanese banks, but it increased strongly in the
fourth quarter.
Lending by U.S. brokers and dealers to international bond mutual funds in the Caribbean was
strong in the fourth quarter; however, the increase
for 1996 was not as large as that for 1995, partly
because of offsetting inflows and outflows to these

mutual funds throughout the year. Many of these
transactions are believed to be in the form of resale
agreements, which have expanded very rapidly in
the past several years. These resale agreements can

serve as a substitute for interbank credits, that is,
as a source of direct lending by securities dealers to
bond mutual funds using U.S. Treasury securities
as collateral.
Banks' domestic customers5 claims increased
$25.7 billion, following a $14.9 billion increase. Deposits shifted to a sizable increase, while foreign
commercial paper placements fell somewhat but
remained strong.
Banks' own claims payable in foreign currency
shifted to an $8.1 billion decrease from a $14.3
billion increase. The shift primarily reflects a
preference for dollar credits in 1996.
Foreign securities.—Net U.S. purchases of foreign
securities were $104.5 billion in 1996, up from
$99.0 in 1995 but well below the record $146.3
billion in 1993 (table P, chart 11).
Stock prices in most major foreign countries
continued their strong increases, and bond prices
weathered a midyear downturn to register a moderate increase for the year. Both stock and bond
prices were spurred by moderate inflation that accompanied the slowing in economic growth in
many industrial countries over the past 2 years.
World stock prices gained more than 10 percent
on average in 1996, but regional averages varied
widely: Prices increased 20 percent in Western Europe, 25 percent Latin America, and 25 percent in
Canada, while prices in Asian markets increased
little on average and prices in Japan fell 6 percent.

The second year of strong global equity offerings,
corporate mergers and acquisitions, and privatizations contributed to strong net U.S. purchases
of foreign stocks, particularly in Western Europe
and Latin America. Strong net purchases were
both encouraged by, and contributed to, the runup
in foreign stock prices. Foreign bond prices, on
average, increased 3 percent (chart 13).
Net U.S. purchases of foreign stocks were $57.8
billion in 1996, up from $50.7 billion in 1995 but
well below the record $63.4 billion in 1993. Net
purchases slowed substantially in the second half
of 1996. For 1996, the increase was more than accounted for by Western Europe, Canada, and Latin
America. Net purchases from Western Europe
were $30.5 billion, up from $21.3 billion; as in 1995,
the increase was fueled partly by the continued
push of U.S. mutual funds into foreign portfolio
acquisitions and encouraged by sizable advances
in stock prices in most European countries. Net
purchases from Canada were more than $3.0 billion, following small net sales in 1995, as Canadian
monetary authorities reduced interest rates several
times to stimulate the economy. Net purchases
from Latin America were $3.5 billion, up $1.4 billion, and were concentrated in Brazil, much of
them in new privatization issues placed in the U.S.
market. Net purchases from Asian emerging markets were concentrated in Hong Kong, where net
purchases were $4.5 billion, up $2.3 billion, as Hong
Kong stock prices gained 33 percent. Partly offsetting these increases, net purchases from Japan
dropped to $9.7 billion from $19.8 billion, as the
Japanese economy showed few signs of sustained
expansion and slowness with the banking system's
progress in clearing its bad debts led to sharp declines in stock prices, particularly in the last half of
the year. Gross trading activity in stocks increased
31 percent.
Net U.S. purchases of foreign bonds were $46.8
billion, down from $48.3 billion. New issues placed
in the U.S. market were $52.5 billion, up from $39.4
billion and approaching the record level of $60.9
billion in 1993. Relatively low U.S. rates and the
availability of long maturities attracted corporations in emerging markets, many of which placed
issues under Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) Rule i44a, which exempts certain issues from
some SEC registration requirements. In addition,
given the high valuations placed on bonds, U.S. institutional investors became more willing to accept
non-investment grade instruments, as spreads between corporate bonds and U.S. Treasury bonds
were the smallest in recent years, and spreads be-

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

tween triple-B and triple-A bonds became very
compressed.
Private corporations' issues remained steady
at $31.3 billion, while Government-related issues
surged to $20.1 billion from $7.8 billion, largely as
a result of issues by Latin America and by Asia
excluding Japan. Borrowing by governments had
been substantially reduced in 1995 following the
Mexican peso crisis of late 1994.
Net U.S. purchases of foreign outstanding bonds
were $10.5 billion, down from $19.5 billion. In contrast to movement in the total, net U.S. purchases
of British gilt-edged bonds were slightly higher,
although the substantial interest-rate differential
favoring British bonds narrowed during the last
half of the year. Gross trading activity in corporate
and other bonds increased 25 percent.
Direct investment.—Net capital outflows for U.S.
direct investment abroad were $88.3 billion in 1996,
down from $95.5 billion in 1995. A decrease in
equity capital outflows more than accounted for
the slowdown (table M).
Equity capital outflows decreased to $24.4 billion
from $36.3 billion. In 1995, U.S. parent companies were involved in numerous multibillion dollar
acquisitions that were concentrated in pharmaceuticals, utilities, and telecommunications. Not
coincidentally, these industries decreased the most
in 1996, when fewer such large-scale transactions
occurred. Nonetheless, equity capital outflows remained strong in 1996; outflows were exceeded
only by those in 1995 and 1993.

April 1997 •

Intercompany debt outflows increased to $7.6
billion from $4.7 billion. There were large shifts to
outflows to British finance affiliates of U.S. parents
in the securities industry and to Bermudan finance
affiliates of U.S. parents in the manufacturing and
petroleum industries. Shifts to inflows in many
other industries partly offset the shift to outflows
for finance affiliates.
Reinvested earnings were $56.4 billion, compared with $54.5 billion.
Foreign assets in the United States
Foreign assets in the United States increased $525.0
billion in 1996, compared with an increase of $424.5
billion in 1995. Net foreign purchases of U.S. Treasury securities by private foreigners, net foreign
purchases of securities other than U.S. Treasury
securities, and foreign direct investment inflows to
the United States were sharply higher in 1996 than
in 1995Foreign official assets.—Foreign official assets in
the United States increased a record $122.8 billion
in 1996, compared with the previous record increase of $109.8 billion in 1995 (table C). Unlike
the increase in 1995, which was dominated by developing countries, the increase in 1996 was split
about evenly between industrial and developing
countries.
Assets of developing countries increased $56.6
billion in 1996, compared with an increase of $86.7
billion in 1995. Assets of non-OFEC developing
countries increased $43.0 billion, compared with

the increase in 1995 also accounted for most of the

with an increase of $4.0 billion.
Assets of industrial countries increased 566.2 billion in 1996, compared with an increase of 523.1

Banks' own liabilities payable in dollars increased
$6.2 billion, compared with an increase of $4.3 billion. In 1996, U.S. banks repaid large amounts of
borrowing from their foreign offices throughout
much of the year, but they borrowed heavily from
abroad in the fourth quarter to finance the simultaneous surge in domestic and international credit
demand and to finance the surge in net foreign purchases of U.S. Treasury securities. Rapid deposit
growth from domestic sources provided the funds
for some of the repayments, but with the surge in
U.S. loan demand for commercial, industrial, and
real estate loans in the second half of the year and
with an upsurge in demand for dollar credits at
U.S. banks' foreign offices, heavy borrowing from
abroad was necessary to supplement the continued
rapid growth in domestic-source funds.
In the first three-quarters, foreign-owned banks
repaid large amounts of borrowing from their
parent offices (largely in Japan), and U.S.-owned
banks repaid large amounts to banking offices in
the Caribbean. In the fourth quarter, borrowing
by U.S.-owned banks from offices in the United
Kingdom and Caribbean, predominantly during
October, and by foreign-owned banks from their
branches in the Caribbean, almost entirely in December, resulted in exceptionally large inflows,
most of which were to meet the simultaneous surge
in domestic and foreign demand for dollar credits. Moderate inflows to U.S. securities dealers
occurred only in the first half of the year.
Banks' own liabilities payable in foreign currencies decreased $6.6 billion, compared with an
increase of $22.6 billion. The sharp cutback in foreign currency borrowing coincided with reduced
foreign currency lending and a shift to lending in
dollars. Repayments to Western Europe and Japan
accelerated in the second half of the year when the
demand for dollar credits accelerated.
U.S. Treasury securities.—Net foreign purchases of
U.S. Treasury securities by private foreigners were
a record $153.8 billion in 1996, up from the previous record of $99.3 billion in 1995. The surge was
attributable to rising U.S. Treasury bond prices,
particularly in the last half of the year, to large
interest-rate differentials in favor of U.S. Government bonds over foreign government bonds, and
to dollar appreciation.
U.S. Treasury bond prices rose sharply in the last
half of the year when it became clear that inflation would not accelerate, in contrast to the first
half of the year when bond prices fell when it was
feared that strength in the economy might lead
to an acceleration in inflation. In addition, interest differentials in favor of U.S. Treasury bonds

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

widened considerably, mostly in the first half of the
year; by yearend, U.S. rates had risen to 100 basis
points above German Government bonds and 400
basis points above Japanese Government bonds
(charts). Furthermore, the U.S. dollar appreciated 7 percent on average against most European
currencies and 12 percent against the yen.
Other contributing factors were the large capital outflows from Japan that occurred as financial
conditions deteriorated in the fourth quarter and
the accelerated reallocation of funds from domes-

tic to international portfolios by Japanese financial
institutions, which commenced after the beginning of the Japanese fiscal half-year in October.
Finally, net purchases by international bond mutual funds in the Caribbean were especially large in
the third and fourth quarters; many of them were
likely financed by borrowing through repurchase
agreements with U.S. bond dealers.
Net purchases increased from all areas of the
world: Net purchases from Western Europe,

mostly the United Kingdom, were $82.8 billion,
up from $35.5 billion; net purchases from Japan
and other Asian countries, were $49.9 billion, up
from $19.9 billion; and net purchases from the
Caribbean, were $25.5 billion, down from $37.5 billion. Gross trading activity in U.S. Treasury bonds
increased 23 percent in 1996 (charts 11 and 12).
Other U.S. securities.—Net foreign purchases of
U.S. securities other than U.S. Treasury securities
surged to a record $131.7 billion in 1996 from $95.3
billion in 1995 (table P, charts 11 and 12). A stepup to record net purchases of corporate and U.S.
agency bonds was partly offset by a small decrease
in net foreign purchases of U.S. stocks.
Net foreign purchases of U.S. corporate and
other bonds accelerated to $119.8 billion from $81.9
billion. Investors from Western Europe, Japan, the
Caribbean, Canada, and Asia increased their net
purchases.
Transactions in outstanding corporate bonds
surged to a record $21.4 billion in net purchases
from net sales of $2.3 billion. Low inflation, rising
bond prices in the second half of the year, and dollar appreciation contributed to the surge. Gross
trading activity in outstanding corporate bonds
increased 56 percent in 1996.
New issues sold abroad by U.S. corporations
(excluding U.S. federally-sponsored agency issues)
remained strong at $53.4 billion but were down
from a record of $59.3 billion in 1995. Issues placed
by banking corporations increased sharply to $15.5
billion from $11.0 billion, largely reflecting an increase in asset securitizations. Straight fixed-rate
note placements dropped sharply, while floatingrate placements increased. Issues denominated
in U.S. dollars and in foreign currencies declined
(table R).
Net foreign purchases of newly issued and outstanding U.S. federally-sponsored agency bonds
were $45.0 billion, up from $25.0 billion, largely

reflecting purchases by investment funds in the
Caribbean. Gross trading activity in agency bonds
increased 29 percent in 1996.
Net foreign purchases of U.S. stocks were $11.9
billion, down from $13.4 billion. Net foreign purchases were not particularly strong in either 1995
or 1996, despite a 32-percent rise in U.S. stock
prices in 1995 and a 21-percent rise in 1996—much
larger rises than in many foreign stock markets
(chart 13).
However, gross trading activity in stocks
increased 35 percent in 1996.
Direct investment.—Net capital inflows for foreign
direct investment in the United States were a record
$84.0 billion in 1996, compared with $60.2 billion
in 1995 and the previous record of $67.7 billion in
1989. Both equity and intercompany debt inflows
increased strongly (table M).
Equity capital inflows were $53.2 billion in 1996,
well above $39.5 billion in 1995 and the highest
since 1990. The step-up occurred despite some
exceptionally large acquisitions in 1995 that were
not matched by similar sized acquisitions in 1996.
Over one-half of the step-up from 1995 to 1996
was accounted for by German and French parents.
German parents made large investments in nonmanufacturing industries, particularly telecommunication services, insurance services, and health
services. French parents made large investments
in telecommunications and manufacturing. Investments by Japan accounted for much of the
remainder of the step-up.
Intercompany debt inflows were $15.1 billion in
1996, compared with $7.4 billion in 1995. Most of
the step-up was from Japan. Inflows from Western
Europe were changed little in total, but contained
especially large inflows and outflows.
Reinvested earnings were $15.7 billion, compared
with $13.3 billion.

FOOTNOTES TO U.S. INTERNATIONAL TRANSACTIONS TABLES 1-1O
General notes for all tables: V Preliminary.r Revised.

'Less than $500,000 (±)

n.a. Not available.

^ Suppressed to avoid disclosure of data of individual companies.
Table 1:
1. Credits, +: Exports of goods, services, and income; unilateral transfers to United States; capital inflows (increase
in foreign assets (U.S. liabilities) or decrease in U.S. assets); decrease in U.S. official reserve assets; increase in foreign
official assets in the United States.
Debits, -: Imports of goods, services, and income; unilateral transfers to foreigners; capital outflows (decrease
in foreign assets (U.S. liabilities) or increase in U.S. assets); increase in U.S. official reserve assets; decrease in foreign
offical assets in the United States.
2. Excludes exports of goods under U.S. military agency sales contracts identified in Census export documents,
excludes imports of goods under direct defense expenditures identified in Census import documents, and reflects various
other adjustments (for valuation, coverage, and timing) of Census statistics to balance of payments basis; see table 2.
3. Includes some goods: Mainly militaryequipment in line 4; major equipment, other materials, supplies, and petroleum
products purchased abroad by U.S. military agencies in line 18; and fuels purchased by airline and steamship operators in
lines 7 and 21.
4. Includes transfers of goods and services under U.S. military grant programs.
5. Beginning in 1982, these lines are presented on a gross basis. The definition of exports is revised to exclude U.S.
parents' payments to foreign affiliates and to include U.S. affiliates' receipts from foreign parents. The definition of imports
is revised to include U.S. parents' payments to foreign affiliates and to exclude U.S. affiliates' receipts from foreign parents.
6. Beginning in 1982, the "other transfers" component includes taxes paid by U.S. private residents to foreign
governments and taxes paid by private nonresidents to the U.S. Government.
7. For all areas, amounts outstanding December 31,1996, were as follows in millions of dollars: Line 34,75,089; line
35,11,048; line 36,10,312; line 37,15,435; line 38,38,294. Data are preliminary.
8. Includes sales of foreign obligations to foreigners.
9. Consists of bills, certificates, marketable bonds and notes, and nonmarketable convertible and nonconvertible bonds
and notes.
10. Consists of U.S. Treasury and Export-Import Bank obligations, not included elsewhere, and of debt securities of
U.S. Government corporations and agencies.
11. Includes, primarily, U.S. Government liabilities associated with military agency sales contracts and other
transactions arranged with or through foreign official agencies; see table 4.
12. Consists of investments in U.S. corporate stocks and in debt securities of private corporations and State and local
governments.
13. Conceptually, the sum of lines 70 and 62 is equal to "net foreign investment" in the national income and product
accounts (NIPA's). However, the foreign transactions account in the NIPA's (a) includes adjustments to the international
transactions accounts for the treatment of gold, (b) includes adjustments for the different geographical treatment of transactions with U.S. territories and Puerto Rico, and (c) includes services furnished without payment by financial pension
plans except life insurance carriers and private noninsured pension plans. A reconciliation of the balance on goods and
services from the international accounts and the NIPAnet exports appears in the "Reconciliation and Other Special Tables"
section in this issue of the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS. A reconciliation of the other foreign transactions in the two sets of
accounts appears in table 4.5 of the full set of NIPA tables (published annually in the July issue of the SURVEY).
Additional footnotes for historical data in June issues of the SURVEY:
14. For 1974, includes extraordinary U.S. Government transactions with India. See "Special U.S. Government
Transactions," June 1974 SURVEY, p. 27.
15. For 1978-83, includes foreign currency-denominated notes sold to private residents abroad.
16. Break in series. See Technical Notes in the June 1989, June 1990, June 1992, June 1993, June 1995, and July
1996 issues of the SURVEY.
Table 2:
1. Exports, Census basis, represent transactions values, f.a.s. U.S. port of exportation, for all years; imports, Census
basis, represent Customs values (see Technical Notes in the June 1982 SURVEY), except for 1974-81, when they represent
transactions values, f.a.s. foreign port of exportation (see June issues of the SURVEY for historical data).
From 1983 forward, both unadjusted and seasonally adjusted data have been prepared by BEA from "actual" and
"revised statistical" month data supplied by the Census Bureau (see Technical Notes in the December 1985 SURVEY).
Seasonally adjusted data reflect the application of seasonal factors developed jointly by Census and BEA. The seasonally adjusted data are the sum of seasonally adjusted five-digit end-use categories (see Technical Notes in the June
1980 SURVEY, in the June 1988 SURVEY, and in the June 1991 SURVEY). Prior to 1983, annual data are as published by
the Census Bureau, except that for 1975-80 published Census data are adjusted to include trade between the U.S. Virgin
Islands and foreign countries.
2. Beginning in 1990, the Census Bureau replaced its compiled export statistics with counterpart Canadian import
statistics. Similarly, Statistics Canada replaced its compiled export statistics with counterpart U.S. import statistics. This
exchange of data has eliminated the need for the inland freight adjustment on U.S. exports, but not on U.S. imports.
3. Adjustments in lines A5 and A13, B12, B47, and B82 reflect the Census Bureau's reconciliation of discrepancies
between the goods statistics published by the United States and the counterpart statistics published in Canada. These
adjustments are distributed to the affected end-use categories in section C. Beginning in 1986, estimates for undocumented
exports to Canada, the largest item in the U.S.-Canadian reconciliation, are included in Census basis data shown in line
A1.
4. Exports of militaryequipment under U.S. military agency sales contracts with foreign governments (line A6), and
direct imports by the Department of Defense and the Coast Guard (line A14), to the extent such trade is identifiable from
Customs declarations. The exports are included in tables 1 and 10, line 4 (transfers under U.S. military agency sales
contracts); the imports are included in tables 1 and 10, line 18 (direct defense expenditures).
5. Addition of electrical energy; deduction of exposed motion picture film for rental rather than sale; net change in stock
of U.S.-owned grains in storage in Canada; coverage adjustments for special situations in which shipments were omitted
from Census data; deduction of the value of repairs and alterations to foreign-owned equipment shipped to the United
States for repair; and the inclusion of fish exported outside of U.S. customs area. Also includes deduction of exports to the
Panama Canal Zone before October 1,1979, and for 1975-82, net timing adjustments for goods recorded in Census data
in one period but found to have been shipped in another (see June issues of the SURVEY for historical data).
6. Deduction of foreign charges for repair of U.S. vessels abroad, which are included in tables 1 and 10, line 21 (other
transportation); coverage adjustments for special situations in which shipments were omitted from Census data; and the
deduction of the value of repairs and alterations to U.S.-owned equipment shipped abroad for repair. Also includes addition
of understatement of inland freight in f.a.s values of U.S. imports of goods from Canada in 1974-81; deduction of imports
from the Panama Canal Zone before October 1, 1979; and for 1975-82, net timing adjustments for goods recorded in
Census data in one period but found to have been shipped in another (see June issues of the SURVEY for historical data).
7. For 1988-89, correction for the understatement of crude petroleum imports from Canada.
8. Annual and unadjusted quarterly data shown in this table correspond to country and area data in table 10, lines 2
and 16. Trade with international organizations includes purchases of nonmonetary gold from the International Monetary
Fund, transfers of tin to the International Tin Council (ITC), and sales of satellites to Intelsat. The memoranda are defined
as follows: Industrial countries. Western Europe, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa; Members
of OPEC. Venezuela, Ecuador, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Algeria, Libya,
Nigeria, and Gabon (beginning in January 1993, excludes Ecuador); Other countries. Eastern Europe, Latin America and
Other Western Hemisphere, and other countries in Asia and Africa, less OPEC. Before 1984, complete geographic area
detail was not available for some balance of payments adjustments. Therefore, the detail shown does not always sum to
the values shown for the area aggregates. For all years, "Asia" and "Africa" exclude certain Pacific Islands and unidentified
countries included in "Other countries in Asia and Africa."
9.lncludes the former German Democratic Republic (East Germany) beginning in fourth quarter of 1990. In earlier
periods, the German Democratic Republic was included in Eastern Europe.
10. Beginning in 1986, New Zealand and South Africa are included in "Other countries in Asia and Africa," with New
Zealand included as part of "Asia" and South Africa as part of "Africa."
11. Includes nuclear fuel materials and fuels.
Table 3:
1. Patented techniques, processes, and formulas and other intangible property rights that are used in goods production.
2. Copyrights, trademarks, franchises, rights to broadcast live events, and other intangible property rights.




3. Other unaffiliated services receipts (exports) include mainly expenditures of foreign governments and international
organizations in the United States. Payments (imports) include mainly wages of foreign residents temporarily employed in
the United States and Canadian and Mexican commuters in U.S. border areas.
Table 4:
1. Expenditures to release foreign governments from their contractual liabilities to pay for military goods and services
purchased through military sales contracts—first authorized (for Israel) under Public Law 93-199, section 4, and subsequently authorized (for many recipients) under similar legislation—are included in line A3. Deliveries against these military
sales contracts are included in line C10; see footnote 2. Of the line A3 items, part of these military expenditures is applied
in lines A40 and A43 to reduce short-term assets previously recorded in lines A38 and C8; this application of funds is
excluded from lines C3 and C4. A second part of line A3 expenditures finances future deliveries under military sales
contracts for the recipient countries and is applied directly to lines A39 and C9. A third part of line A3, disbursed directly to
finance purchases by recipient countries from commercial suppliers in the United States, is included in line A34. A fourth
part of line A3, representing dollars paid to the recipient countries to finance purchases from countries other than the United
States, is included in line A45.
2. Transactions under military sales contracts are those in which the Department of Defense sells and transfers
military goods and services to a foreign purchaser, on a cash or credit basis. Purchases by foreigners directly from
commercial suppliers are nor included as transactions under military sales contracts. The entries for the several categories
of transactions related to military sales contracts in this and other tables are partly estimated from incomplete data.
3. The identification of transactions involving direct dollar outflows from the United States is made in reports by each
operating agency.
4. Line A35 includes foreign currency collected as interest and line A40 includes foreign currency collected as principal,
as recorded in lines A13 and A14, respectively.
5. Includes (a) advance payments to the Department of Defense (on military sales contracts) financed by loans
extended to foreigners by U.S. Government agencies and (b) the contraentry for the part of line C10 that was delivered
without prepayment by the foreign purchaser. Also includes expenditures of appropriations available to release foreign
purchasers from liability to make repayment.
6. Includes purchases of loans from U.S. banks and exporters and payments by the U.S. Government under commercial

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

April 1997

National Data
A. Selected NIPA Tables
The tables in this section include the most recent estimates of gross domestic product and its components;
these estimates were released on March 28,1997 and include the "final" estimates for the fourth quarter of 1996 and
year 1996.
The selected set of NIPA tables shown in this section presents quarterly estimates, which are updated monthly.
In most tables, the annual estimates are also shown. (Some of the lines in tables 1.10 and 1.16 are not yet available
and are shown as leaders; they will be shown in the May SURVEY.) These tables are available electronically on the day
of the gross domestic product (GDP) news release by subscription from STAT-USA'S Economic Bulletin Board and
Internet services; for information, call (202) 482-1986. The tables are also available on printouts or diskettes; for
subscription information, write to the National Income and Wealth Division (BE-54), Bureau of Economic Analysis,
Washington, DC 20230 or call (202) 606-9700.
For a guide to which issues of the SURVEY contain the complete set of NIPA tables for the period 1991-96, see
the headnote and list of tables that appeared on pages 15-17 of the August 1996 issue.
NOTE.—In the May SURVEY, BEA will publish the following NIPA and wealth estimates that reflect the completion
of the most recent comprehensive revision of the NIPA'S: Revised NIPA summary estimates for 1929-96, revised
estimates of reproducible tangible wealth for 1929-95, and newly available and revised NIPA estimates of selected
series for 1991-96. For more information, see the box on page 5.

NOTE.—Chained (1992) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 1992
current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity
indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive.
The residual line is the difference between the first line and the sum of the most detailed lines.
Percent changes from preceding period for selected items in this table are shown in table 8.1; contributions to
the percent change in real gross domestic product are shown in table 8.2.

NOTE.-Chained (1992) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 1992
current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity
indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive.
The residual line following change in business inventories is the difference between gross domestic product and
the sum of final sales of domestic product and of change in business inventories; the residual line following structures is the difference between gross domestic product and the sum of the detailed lines of goods, of services,
and of structures.

NOTE.-Chained (1992) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 1992
current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity
indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive.
The residual line is the difference between the first line and the sum of the most detailed lines.

NOTE.-Chained (1992) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 1992
current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity
indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive.
The residual line is the difference between the first line and the sum of the most detailed lines, excluding the
lines in the addenda.

NoTE.-Chained (1992) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 1992
current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity
indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive.
The residual line is the difference between the first line and the sum of the most detailed lines, excluding the
line in the addendum.

NoiE.-Chained (1992) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 1992
current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity
indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive.
The residual line following the detail for exports is the difference between the aggregate "exports of goods and
services" and the sum of the detailed lines for exports of goods and export of services. The residual line following
the detail for imports is the difference between the aggregate "imports of goods and services" and the detailed
lines for imports of goods and imports of services.

NOTE.—Chained (1992) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 1992
current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity
indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive.
The residual line is the difference between the first line and the sum of the most detailed lines.

1. Inventories are as of the end of the quarter. The quarter-to-quarter change in inventories calculated from current-dollar inventories in this table is not the current-dollar change in business inventories (CBI) component of GDP.
The former is the difference between two inventory stocks, each valued at their respective end-of-quarter prices.
The latter is the change in the physical volume of inventories valued at average prices of the quarter. In addition,
changes calculated from this table are at quarterly rates; whereas, CBI is stated at annual rates.
2. Quarterly totals at monthly rates. Final sales of domestic business equals final sales of domestic product less
gross product of households and institutions and of general government and includes a small amount of final sales
by farm.

NOTE.— Chain-type quantity and price indexes are calculated from weigl
prices used to prepare each aggregate and component. Implicit price deflators are weighted averages of the detailed
price indexes used to prepare each aggregate and component and are calculated as the ratio of current- to chaineddollar output multiplied by 100.
Percent changes from preceding period for items in this table are shown in table 8.1.

NOTE.—Except for disposable personal income, the quantity and price indexes are calculated from weighted averages of the detailed output and prices used to prepare each aggregate and component. Prior to the third quarter
of 1995, these indexes use the geometric mean of weights that reflect the composition of output for the preceding
and current years. Beginning with the third quarter of 1995, these indexes use weights that reflect the composition

1. Consists of final sales and change in business inventories of new autos assembled in the United States.
2. Consists of personal consumption expenditures, producers' durable equipment, and gross government investment.
NOTE.—Chained (1992) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 1992
current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity
indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive.
The residual line is the difference between the first line and the sum of the most detailed lines, excluding the
lines in the addenda.

1. The current-dollar statistical discrepancy equals gross domestic product (GDP) measured as the sum of expenditures less gross domestic income—that is, GDP measured as the costs incurred and profits earned in domestic
production. The chained (1992) dollar statistical discrepancy equals the current-dollar discrepancy deflated by the
implicit price deflator for gross domestic product.
2. Equals GDP in chained (1992) dollars less the statistical discrepancy and the sum of GPO of the detailed
industries.

NOTES.—Consumer durable goods are designated durable goods (d.), nondurable goods (n.d.), and services (s.).
Estimates of foreign travel by U.S. residents (line 108) expenditures were $0.3 billion in 1981. Beginning with
1984, estimates of foreign travel by U.S. residents include substantially improved estimates of U.S. residents' foreign
travel and passenger fare expenditures. Estimates of expenditures in the United States by nonresidents (line 110)
include, beginning with 1981, nonresidents' student and medical care expenditures in the United States. Student
expenditures were $2.2 billion, and medical expenditures were $0.4 billion in 1981. Beginning with 1984, estimates
of expenditures in the United States by nonresidents include substantially improved estimates of nonresidents' travel
expenditures. Expenditures in the United States by nonresidents are subtracted from total personal consumption expenditures (line 110) because they are included in detailed type of expenditure estimates elsewhere in personal
consumption expenditures.
Chained (1992) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 1992 currentdollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity indexes
uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive. The
residual line is the difference between the first line and the sum of the most detailed lines.

NOTE.—Chained (1992) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 1992
current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity
indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive.

13. Conceptually, the sum of lines 70 and 62 is equal to "net foreign investment" in the national income and
product accounts (NIPA's). However, the foreign transactions account in the NIPA's (a) includes adjustments to the
international transactions accounts for the treatment of gold, (b) includes adjustments for the different geographical
treatment of transactions with U.S. territories and Puerto Rico, and (c) includes services furnished without payment
by financial pension plans except life insurance carriers and private noninsured pension plans. A reconciliation of
the balance on aoods and services from the international accounts and the NIPA net exports appears in the "Reconciliation and Other Special Tables" section in this issue of the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS. A reconciliation
of the other foreign transactions in the two sets of accounts appears in table 4.5 of the full set of NIPA tables
(published annually in the July issue of the SURVEY).

1. The, personal income level shown for the United States is derived as the sum of the county estimates; it
differs from the national income and product accounts (NIPA) estimate of personal income because, by definition,
it omits the earnings of Federal civilian and military personnel stationed abroad and of U.S. residents employed
abroad temporarily by private U.S. firms. It can also differ from the NIPA estimate because of different data sources
and revision schedules.
2. Percent change was calculated from unrounded data.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

April 1997

Appendix A
Additional Information About BEA'S NIPA Estimates
Statistical Conventions
Changes in current-dollar GDP measure changes in the
market value of goods and services produced in the
economy in a particular period. For many purposes,
it is necessary to decompose these changes into quantity and price components. To compute the quantity
indexes, changes in the quantities of individual goods
and services are weighted by their prices. (Quantity
changes for GDP are often referred to as changes in "real
GDP.") For the price indexes, changes in the prices for
individual goods and services are weighted by quantities
produced. (In practice, the current-dollar value and
price indexes for most GDP components are determined
largely using data from Federal Government surveys,
and the real values of these components are calculated
by deflation at the most detailed level for which all the
required data are available.)
Except for the most recent period, the annual and
quarterly changes in real GDP and prices are "chaintype" measures that are both based on the "Fisher Ideal"
formula that incorporates weights from two adjacent
years. For example, the 1992-93 percent change in real
GDP uses prices for 1992 and 1993 as weights, and the
1992-93 percent change in price uses quantities for 1992
and 1993 as weights. Because the quantity and price
index numbers calculated in this way are symmetric,
the product of the annual change in real GDP and the
annual change in prices equals the annual change in
current-dollar GDP.
In the most recent period, a variant of the formula is
used because only i year's information is available for
computing the index number weights. Accordingly, BEA
uses a single year's weights and, as a consequence, the
product of the percentage changes in the price and quantity indexes does not equal the current-dollar change
during this period. For this reason, another measure,
known as the "implicit price deflator," is presented in
the NIPA tables. The implicit price deflator is calculated
as the ratio of current-dollar value to the corresponding
chained-dollar value multiplied by 100.
In addition, BEA prepares measures of real GDP and its
components in a dollar-denominated form, designated
"chained (1992) dollar estimates." These estimates are
computed by multiplying the 1992 current-dollar value
of GDP, or of a GDP component, by the corresponding
quantity index number. For example, if a current-dollar
GDP component equaled $100 in 1992 and if real output
for this component increased by 10 percent in 1993, then
the "chained (1992) dollar" value of this component in




1993 would be $110 ($100 X 1.10). Note that percentage changes in the chained (1992) dollar estimates and
the percentage changes calculated from the quantity indexes are identical, except for small differences due to
rounding.
Because of the formula used for calculating real GDP,
the chained (1992) dollar estimates for detailed GDP
components do not add to the chained-dollar value of
GDP or to any intermediate aggregates. A "residual" line
is shown as the difference between GDP and the sum of
the most detailed components shown in each table. The
residual generally is small close to the base period but
tends to become larger as one moves further from it. In
cases where the residual is large, the table of contributions of the major components to the change in real GDP
provides a better basis for determining the composition
of GDP growth than the chained-dollar estimates.
For quarters and months, the estimates are presented
at annual rates, which show the value that would be registered if the rate of activity measured for a quarter or
a month were maintained for a full year. Annual rates
are used so that time periods of different lengths—for
example, quarters and years—may be compared easily.
These annual rates are determined simply by multiplying the estimated rate of activity by 4 (for quarterly data)
or 12 (for monthly data).
Percent changes in the estimates are also expressed
at annual rates. Calculating these changes requires a
variant of the compound interest formula:

r = \\ir}

~ 1 x 100,

where Y is the percent change at an annual rate;
Xt is the level of activity in the later period;
X0 is the level of activity in the earlier period;
m is the yearly periodicity of the data (for
example, i for annual data, 4 for quarterly,
or 12 for monthly); and
n is the number of periods between the earlier
and later periods (that is, t - o).
Quarterly and monthly NIPA estimates are seasonally
adjusted, if necessary. Seasonal adjustment removes
from the time series the average impact of variations
that normally occur at about the same time and in about
the same magnitude each year—for example, weather,
holidays, and tax payment dates. After seasonal adjustment, cyclical and other short-term changes in the
economy stand out more clearly.
