the BUSINESS SITUATION
LEVISED (45-day) estimates show
that the real GNP declined 2*/£ percent
at an annual rate in the second quarter
of 1981, 1/2 percentage point more than
in the preliminary (15-day) estimates
(table 1). Revisions in the major components were small: an upward revision
in nonresidential fixed investment was
more than offset by downward revisions
in net exports and government purchases. The increase in GNP prices as
measured by the fixed-weighted price
index was revised up from T1/^ to 8
percent.
Corporate profits
Corporate profits from current production—profits with inventory valuation and capital consumption adjustments—decreased $16 billion to $187
billion in the second quarter of 1981,
according to preliminary estimates.1
This decrease followed an increase of
$19% billion in the first quarter, which
had restored profits to their previous
peak of $203 billion (reached in the
fourth quarter of 1978).
Domestic profits of nonfinancial corporations fell $8% billion to $143% billion, after increasing $24 billion in the
first quarter (chart 1). The secondquarter drop was due to a decrease in
real output of nonfinancial corporations
and a squeeze on margins as unit costs
accelerated and unit prices decelerated.
Decreases in corporate profits occurred for almost all domestic nonfinan1. Quarterly estimates in the national income
and product accounts are expressed at seasonally
adjusted annual rates, and quarterly changes in
them are differences between these rates.




cial industries. The decreases were especially large for most durables manufacturing industries. Auto manufacturers,
however, registered profits in the second

quarter following losses in the previous
seven quarters. Although retail sales of
new cars fell in the second quarter,
manufacturers' sales increased, result-

smaller profits for commercial banks.
Earnings of Federal Reserve banks,
which are treated as part of corporate
business in the national income and
product accounts (NIPA's), increased.
Profits from the rest of the world—
measured as the net inflows of dividends
and reinvested earnings of incorporated
foreign affiliates, and of earnings of
unincorporated foreign affiliates—decreased $2% billion to $22% billion in
the second quarter. The decrease was
more than accounted for by lower profits on the overseas petroleum operations
of U.S. corporations.
Other profits measures.-—Profits before tax decreased $32 billion to $225
billion in the second quarter following
an increase of $7% billion in the first.
Profits before tax exclude the two
valuation adjustments, which are designed to value inventories and fixed
capital used up in production at replacement costs, the valuation concept
underlying national income and product accounting, rather than at historical
costs, the concept generally underlying
business accounting.2 If, as in the second
quarter, the historical costs of inventories used up is less than their replacement cost, profits as measured by business exceed profits as measured in the
NIPA's by an amount that is called inventory profits. Inventory profits decreased $16 billion to $23 billion in the
second quarter, following a decrease of
$9 billion in the first. If, as in the second
quarter, fixed capital used up as measured by business is less than that as
measured in the NIPA's, business profits exceed NIPA profits by an amount
that is equal to the underdepreciation
of the capital stock. The profits attributable to underdepreciation were unchanged, at $14% billion, in the second
quarter, following a decrease of $3 billion in the first.
Corporate profits taxes, which are
levied on profits including inventory
profits and profits attributable to underdepreciation, decreased $13 billion to
2. The capital consumption adjustment also places
the using up in production of fixed capital on a
consistent basis with respect to service lives (85
percent of Internal Revenue Service Bulletin F
for equipment and nonresidential structures) and
depreciation formulas (straight-line).

The profits estimates presented above
have been adjusted to incorporate
changes in tax law that resulted from
the enactment of the Economic Kecovery Tax Act of 1981. The impact of
the Act is summarized in table 2. See
"Federal Budget Developments," which
follows, for a discussion of the changes
in tax law.

The Federal sector
The Federal Government deficit as
measured in the NIPA's increased $3
billion in the second quarter of 1981 to
$50 billion, as receipts increased less
than expenditures.
Receipts increased $2 billion in the
second quarter, compared with $47%
billion in the first, when receipts were
boosted by a large increase in the windfall profits tax and increases in the
social security tax rate and wage base.
Corporate profits tax accruals declined
over $11 billion in the second quarter
reflecting a significant decline in profits
and the impact of tax reductions under
the Economic Recovery Act of 1981.
(See "Federal Budget Developments",
which follows.) Other categories of receipts increased less than in the first;
the windfall profits tax accounted for
the increase in indirect business tax and
nontax accruals.
Expenditures increased $5*4 billion
in the second quarter, compared with

SURVEY OF CUEEENT BUSINESS

of Federal unified budget receipts and
outlays for fiscal years 1981 and 1982.
Those estimates reflected the administration's proposed Economic Eecovery
Tax Act of 1981. As signed, in midAugust, the Act did not differ substantially in its effect on receipts, and thus
on the deficit, from what had been proposed in the mid-session review. The
revised estimates of receipts and outlays as presented in the mid-session review are discussed immediately below,
and then the features of the tax act as
signed are described.

SUKVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
economic assumptions, reestimates of
agency spending and tax collections
based on more recent experience, legislation enacted by Congress, and policy
changes announced by the administration since March, including revisions to
proposed tax legislation. The new estimates do not reflect the Omnibus Reconciliation Act or, as noted above, the
Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981,
both of which were passed by Congress
in early August.
On the basis of the revised economic
assumptions, real GNP is expected to
increase substantially more in calendar
year 1981 than expected earlier this
year (table 3). From the fourth quarter
of 1980 to the fourth quarter of 1981,
real GNP is estimated to increase 2.5
percent, over 1 percentage point more
than forecast in March. According to
the administration, this higher growth
is the result of a stronger than expected
first quarter of 1981. Real GNP is expected to increase very little through
the middle of the year, accelerate somewhat in the fourth quarter, and increase
strongly through 1982. From the fourth
quarter of 1981 to the fourth quarter of
1982, real GNP is estimated to increase
5.2 percent, the same as estimated earlier this year. Consumer prices rise considerably less than assumed in March—8.6 percent in 1981 and 6.2 percent in
1982, compared with 10.5 percent and
7.2 percent, respectively. Declines in the
prices of food and non-food commodities, including oil, contribute to the
slower increase in consumer prices. Interest rates on 91-day Treasury bills are
assumed to be much higher than estimated in March—2.5 percentage points
more in 1981 and 1.6 percentage points
more in 1982.
For fiscal year 1981, a $55.6 billion
deficit is estimated, compared with
$54.9 billion in March (table 4). Receipts are $5.4 billion higher; a $6.4 billion upward revision from changes in
proposed tax legislation is partly offset
by a $1 billion downward revision from
other administrative actions and reestimates. Outlays are $6.1 billion higher;
$5.0 billion of the increase is for interest
on the public debt, and reflects the
higher interest rates mentioned earlier.

Upward revisions for agricultural price
support and related programs ($2.7 billion), medicare ($0.5 billion), food
stamps ($0.5 billion), plus smaller ones
for a variety of other programs are
largely offset by downward revisions in
outlays for unemployment benefits
($4.7 billion) and defense ($2 billion).
For fiscal year 1982, a deficit of $42.5
billion is estimated, compared with $45
billion in March. Receipts are $12 billion higher; a $14.4 billion upward revision due to changes in proposed tax
legislation is partly offset by a $2.3 billion downward revision from the new
economic assumptions. Outlays are $9.6
billion higher. Outlays for interests on
the public debt are revised up $9 billion
and outlays for a variety of other programs are revised up a total of $5.9 billion. The major downward revision—
$3.8 billion—results from proposed
changes in social security; defense outlays are revised down $1 billion and a
variety of other programs are revised
down $0.7 billion. The proposed changes
in social security include shifting the
annual increase in benefits from July
to October in 1982, revising the procedure for calculating the benefit increase,
and eliminating the minimum monthly
benefit—currently about $122—in January 1982.

Revised NIPA estimates.—BE A has
prepared estimates of the Federal sector on the national income and product
accounting (NIPA) basis consistent
with the revised unified budget estimates (table 4, and table 6 for quarterly
pattern). On this basis, fiscal year 1981
receipts are $11.3 billion higher, expenditures are $4.2 billion higher, and
the deficit is $7.1 billion lower than estimated in March. (Details of the March
estimates are discussed in the April
SURVEY or CURRENT BUSINESS.)
The upward revision in receipts consists of $7.3 billion due to changes in the
proposed tax legislation and $4 billion
due to the new economic assumptions.
Taible 5 shows the impact on NIPA receipts of the tax proposal. This proposal includes a 25-percent reduction in
individual income tax rates over 33
months and an accelerated depreciation
system for business. Compared with the
March estimates, all categories of receipts except indirect business tax and
nontax accruals are revised up. The upward revision in personal tax and nontax receipts and in corporate profits tax
accruals largely reflect the administration's changes to the tax proposal and
higher incomes, particularly corporate
profits. The downward revision in indirect business taxes is largely the result
of lower windfall profits taxes.

The upward revision in expenditures
for fiscal year 1981 is more than accounted for by nondefense purchases of
goods and services ($3.9 billion) and
net interest paid ($3 billion). In nondefense purchases, the upward revision
is largely due to higher agricultural
purchases by the Commodity Credit
Corporation (CCC) and higher purchases of crude oil for the strategic
petroleum reserve; in net interest, it is
due to the higher interest rates mentioned earlier. Other expenditure categories are revised up slightly. Partly
offsetting these increases are downward
revisions in transfer payments to persons ($2.3 billion) and national defense
purchases ($1.2 billion). The downward revision in transfer payments is
more than accounted for by lower unemployment benefits, and that in defense purchases reflects failure to enact
the military pay raise proposed for
July of this year ($0.4 billion) and
lower prices for fuel.
For fiscal year 1982, receipts are $13.3
billion higher, expenditures are $12.2
billion higher, and the deficit is $1.1 billion lower. The upward revision in receipts consists of $11.8 billion due to
changes in proposed tax legislation and
$1.5 billion due to the new economic
assumptions. Personal taxes and corporate taxes are revised up, largely reflect-

ing the changes in tax legislation. Indirect business taxes and contributions
for social insurance are revised down.
The revision in the former largely reflects lower windfall profits taxes. The
major upward revisions in expenditures
are in net interest, nondefense purchases
(agricultural purchases by CCC and
a variety of other programs), and
grants-in-aid to State and local governments (education, highways, and public
service employment). Downward revisions are in transfer payments (the proposed changes in social security are
partly offset by increases in a host of
programs) and in defense purchases for
the same reasons cited for 1981.
High-employment surplus or deficit.—As measured on a high-employment basis, the Federal sector of the
NIPA's was in deficit in calendar year
1980 and is forecast to be in surplus in
1981 and 1982. The swing to surplus
occurs in early 1981, reflecting the large
increase in social security taxes in January and an increase in the windfall
profits tax resulting from the complete
decontrol of oil prices in January. (For
high-employment receipts and expenditures for recent quarters, see table 3 on
page 19). The surplus swings to deficit
in mid-1982, reflecting the additional
personal tax reduction in July
(table 7).

The Economic Recovery Tax Act of
1981 was passed shortly before Congress adjourned and was signed in midAugust. The act provides about $1 billion more of net tax reductions (on the
NIPA basis) in calendar year 1981 than
the administration's proposal in the
mid-session review; in 1982, the net reductions are about the same. Table 8
shows the impact of the act on Federal
receipts on the NIPA basis for calendar
year 1981 and 1982.
Major features of the act are:
• A 25-percent across-the-board reduction in individual income tax rates
over 33 months—5 percent on October 1, 1981 and 10 percent on July 1,
1982 and 1983. Starting in 1985, income
tax brackets, the zero bracket amount,
and the personal exemption will be adjusted for inflation as measured by the
Consumer Price Index.
• An accelerated cost recovery system that provides substantially faster
depreciation write-offs for business. The
new system assigns depreciable lives of
3 years for most vehicles, 5 years for
most equipment, 10 years for certain
public utility property, and 15 years for
most depreciable real estate and some
long-lived public utility property.
• Incentives for persons who put
savings in specified savings accounts
and repeal of the exclusion from gross
income of interest and dividends.
• A substantial reduction in estate
and gift taxes; and
• An increase in the windfall profits
tax credit for qualified royalty recipients.
Personal tax and nontax receipts are
reduced $3.9 billion in 1981 and $41.2
billion in 1982. Most of the reduction is
in withheld income taxes, as withholding rates are cut in October of this year
and again in July 1982. Smaller reductions in 1982 are from a deduction for
married couples with two incomes and
from increases in exclusions for foreign
earned income of U.S. citizens and in a
deduction for overseas housing expenses. The married couples deduction

is phased in over 2 years, beginning
January 1, 1982, when it is 5 percent
(up to a $1,500 maximum) of the lower
earning spouse's income. In 1983 and
subsequent, years, it is 10 percent (up
to a maximum of $3,000).
A number of provisions of the act reduce declarations and net settlements in
1981 and 1982. The largest item—$4.2
billion—is rate reductions on income
not subject to withholding; these include a reduction in the top marginal
tax rate on dividends and interest from
70 percent to 50 percent on January 1,
1982 and a reduction in the tax rate on
long-term capital gains from 28 percent
to 20 percent retroactive to June 10,
1981. Faster depreciation write-offs for
unincorporated businesses under the accelerated cost recovery system reduces
declarations and net settlements a little
in 1981 and $1.7 billion in 1982. The savings incentives, which are not effective
until 1982, have little net impact on receipts in that year. Among these incentives are (1) repeal of the current exclusion from gross income of up to $200
on a single return ($400 on a joint return) of interest and dividends for 1981
and 1982, and allowance after 1982, of
only a dividend exclusion of $100 on a

Constant-Dollar Estimates of Plant and Equipment Expenditures
An article presenting quarterly and annual constant-dollar estimates for 1947-80 of
new plant and equipment (P&E) expenditures that are companions to the. currentdollar estimates compiled from the BEA P&E survey will be presented in the September
issue of the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS. These estimates substantially extend and
improve the information available for analysis of capital expenditures. They, like the
current-dollar estimates, cover nonfarm business P&E expenditures and are on a company basis. The constant-dollar estimates are obtained by dividing the current-dollar
estimates by specially constructed implicit price deflators for industries.
Historical series of constant-dollar expenditure estimates, implicit price deflators, and
fixed-weighted price indexes for establishment-based industries and for company-based
industries (broken down into total, equipment, and plant) are available from BEA in
computer printout form. The data for total P&E expenditures are available quarterly
and annually from 1947 on; those for plant and for equipment are available annually
from 1947 on and quarterly from 1972 on. The cost of the printout is $20. For further
information, write to P&E Survey Statistics, Business Outlook Division, (BE-52),

phase-in, the tax exclusion on gifts is
increased and the tax on transfers between spouses is eliminated, and the top
tax rate on cumulative estate and gift
transfers is reduced in four steps from
70 percent to 50 percent.
Corporate profits tax accruals are reduced $4.8 billion in 1981 and $10.9 billion in 1982; the accelerated cost recovery system and modifications to the
investment tax credit account for most
of the reduction. The act also liberalizes
the rules under which leasing com-




panies can use the investment tax credit
and depreciation. The other major provisions that reduce, on balance, corporate taxes in 1982 are: (1) a 25-percent
tax credit for certain research and experimentation expenditures; and (2) a
1 percentage point reduction in the corporate tax rate, for income below
$25,000, to 16 percent in 1982, (and to
15 percent in 1983) and, for income of
$25,000-$50,000, to 19 percent in 1982
(and to 18 percent in 1983).
Indirect business tax and nontax ac-

cruals are reduced slightly in 1981 and
$1.4 billion in 1982, largely the result of
an increase from $1,000 to $2,500 in the
royalty-recipient windfall profits tax
credit. Contributions for social insurance are increased slightly in 1981 and
$0.5 billion in 1982 as the result of an
increase from 9.5 percent to 11.75 percent in the employer tax rate for railroad retirement contributions and a
new 2-percent tax imposed on employees; both are effective October 1,
1981.

Estimates for the first and second quarters of 1981 shown in these tables incorporate the changes in tax law that resulted from the
enactment of the Ecomomic Recovery Tax Act of 1981. (See the "Business Situation" for an explanation of these changes.) The detailed
series affected by the changes are: capital consumption allowances for corporations and nonfarm proprietors; the capital consumption
adjustment for corporations and nonfarm proprietors; corporate profits before taxes; nonfarm proprietors' income; and Federal and State
and local government corporate taxes. These series and related series that also are affected appear in tables 1.7, 1.11, 1.13, 3.2, 3.3, 5.1,

1. The IVA shown in this table differs from that which adjusts business income. The IVA
in this table reflects the mix of methods (first-in-first-out, last-in-first-out, etc.) underlying
book value inventories derived primarily from Census Bureau Statistics. The mix differs
from that underlying business income derived primarily from Internal Revenue Service
statistics.

Table 5.10-5.11:
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 GNP. 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 quarter rates, whereas CBI is stated at annual rates.
Quarter-to-quarter changes calculated from the constant-dollar inventories shown in this
table are at quarterly rates, whereas the constant-dollar change in business inventories component of GNP is stated at annual rates.
2. Quarterly totals at monthly rates. Business final sales equals final sales less gross product of households and institutions, government, and rest-of-the world and includes a small
amount of final sales by farms.

NOTE.—The implicit price deflator for GNP is a weighted average of the detailed price
indexes used in the deflation of GNP. In each period, the weights are based on the composition
of constant-dollar output in that period. In other words, the price index for each item (1972=
100) is weighted by the ratio of the quantity of the item valued in 1972 prices to the total output
in 1972 prices. Changes in the implicit price deflator reflect both changes in prices and changes

in the composition of output. The chain price index uses as weights the composition of output
in the prior period, and therefore reflects only the change in prices between the two periods.
However, comparisons of percent changes in the chain index also reflect changes in the composition of output. The fixed-weighted price index uses as weights the composition of output
in 1972. Accordingly, comparisons over any time span reflect only changes in prices.

By OBIE G. WHICHARD

U.S. Direet Investment Abroad in 1080
lAJOB developments related to U.S.
direct investment abroad in 1980 were:
• The U.S. direct investment position abroad increased 14 percent, to
$213.5 billion, following a 15-percent
increase in 1979. It increased 21 percent
in petroleum, 13 percent in manufacturing, and 12 percent in "other"
industries.
• The $26.7 billion addition to the
position consisted of capital outflows of
$18.5 billion and unusually large valuation adjustments of $8.2 billion. Capital
outflows—the sum of equity and intercompany account outflows and reinvested earnings of incorporated affiliates—were concentrated in developed
countries. Valuation adjustments were
concentrated in developing countries.
• Equity and intercompany account
outflows declined $3.4 billion, to $1.5
billion—the second lowest level of outflows since 1959. Large inflows from the
Middle East branch of a U.S.-incorporated petroleum company and from
Netherlands Antillean finance affiliates
substantially offset outflows to other
affiliates.
• Reinvested earnings o*f incorporated foreign affiliates declined 10 percent, to $17.0 billion. Much of the decline was in the United Kingdom,
where reinvested earnings had been
boosted in 1979 by a tax change.
• Direct investment income declined
4 percent, to $36.8 billion. Shifts to
negative income from automobile manNOTE.—Patricia C. Walker supervised the
preparation of the revised estimates published
in this article and wrote part of the technical
note. Patricia E. DiVenuti and Ralph Kozlow

ufacturing affiliates in developed areas,
and from the previously mentioned
Middle East branch of a U.S. petroleum
company, more than offset increases in
income from all other affiliates
combined.
• Fees and royalties increased 14 percent, to $5.7 billion. The increase was
primarily in royalties, license fees, and
other fees for the sale or use of intangible property.
The preliminary estimates for 1980
and revised estimates for 1977-79 published in the accompanying tables incorporate the results of BEA's 1977
benchmark survey of U.S. direct investment abroad.1 Previously published
estimates were linked to the preceding
benchmark survey, which covered 1966.
A technical note at the end of the article
explains the procedure used to expand
sample data collected in nonbenchmark
years to universe estimates and summarizes the major differences in concepts, definitions, and presentation between the previous and revised series.

book value of U.S. direct investors'
equity in, and net outstanding loans to,
their foreign affiliates.2
By industry, 22 percent of the position was in petroleum, 42 percent in
manufacturing, and 36 percent in
"other" industries (table 2). Within
manufacturing, the position was largest
in "other manufacturing" (mainly
paper, instruments, rubber, and textiles), chemicals, and nonelectrical
machinery. Within "other" industries,
the position was largest in finance (except banking), insurance, and real
estate, and in trade.
By area, 74 percent of the position
was in developed countries, 25 percent
in developing countries, and 2 percent
in "international" (for definition of the
latter area, see technical note). Within
the developed countries, over 60 percent
of the position was in Europe, where
the United Kingdom and Germany had
the largest shares. Within the developing countries, almost three-fourths of
the position was in Latin America; the
largest shares were in Bermuda—
mainly in finance affiliates—and Brazil.
U.S. Direct Investment Position
Incorporated affiliates accounted for
84 percent of the position, and unincorAt yearend 1980, the U.S. direct in- porated affiliates for 16 percent. Most of
vestment position abroad was $213.5 the investment in incorporated affiliates

earnings) rather than debt (intercom1. Detailed findings and a methodology of the pany accounts) (table 3).

of data were collected in the 1977 survey: first,
direct investment position and balance of payments data, which are the subject of this article,
and second, U.S. parent and foreign affiliate financial and operating data, which were summarized
in International Investment Division, "1977 Benchmark Survey of U.S. Direct Investment Abroad,"
SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS 61 (April 1981) :
29-37.

2. The position is sometimes confused with, and
should be distinguished from, total assets of the
affiliates themselves, which are the sum of total
owners' equity held by, and total liabilities owed
to, both U.S. direct investors and all other persons.
According to the 1977 benchmark survey, foreign
affiliates had total assets of $829.6 billion, compared with a U.S. direct investment position abroad
of $146.0 billion, at yearend 1977. Banking affiliates
accounted for just over one-half of the difference
between the two figures. For nonbank affiliates, the
comparable figures were $494.6 billion and $141.6
billion, respectively.

SUEVEY OF CUEEENT BUSINESS

August 1981

The intercompany account component of the position in incorporated
affiliates is the net of U.S. parents' accounts receivable from affiliates and
accounts payable to affiliates. At yearend 1980, receivables were about twice
as large as payables. The largest receivables were those due from European
manufacturing affiliates, while the largest payables were those owed to Latin
American affiliates in "other" industries. Most of these payables were owed
to Netherlands Antillean finance affiliates, which were established to borrow
funds abroad and relend them to their
U.S. parents. The payables more than
offset the other, positive, components of
the position, and, consequently, U.S.
parents had a large negative direct investment position in the Netherlands
Antilles. (For discussion of the previous and present treatment of Netherlands Antillean finance affiliates, see
technical note.)

1980 Addition
The addition to the position was $26.7
billion, or 14 percent, in 1980, compared
with $24.0 billion, or 15 percent, in 1979.
The 1980 addition consisted of capital
outflows of $18.5 billion and valuation
adjustments of $8.2 billion. In the absence of the unusually large valuation
adjustments, the position would have
increased about 10 percent in 1980.
Capital outflows consisted of equity
and intercompany account outflows of
$1.5 billion and reinvested earnings of
incorporated affiliates of $17.0 billion.
About 95 percent of capital outflows
were to developed countries, primarily
in Europe. Within Europe, outflows to
the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, and France were largest. The
much smaller capital outflows to developing countries reflected large equity
and intercompany account inflows from
both Netherlands Antillean finance affil-

21
iates and the Middle East branch of a
U.S.-incorporated petroleum company.
Valuation adjustments were concentrated in developing countries, where a
large adjustment was made to reflect a
change in the nature and status of the
operations of the above-mentioned Middle East branch of a U.S. petroleum
company, and to conform to a change
in accounting for the branch as reported to BE A by the U.S. company.
During 1980, the U.S. parent transferred the branch's oil production facilities and most of its refinery facilities
to the host government, which paid the
balance of the consideration for such
assets. However, the branch continued
to exist, principally as a trade and service company.
Before the facilities were transferred,
the branch was primarily engaged in
crude oil production. In producing the
oil, it incurred tax and royalty liabilities
to the host government and, subse-

quently, in selling the oil, acquired accounts receivable due from the U.S.
purchasers. Because the receivables
were transferred to the U.S. parent for
settlement, while the tax and royalty
liabilities remained with the foreign
branch, a negative U.S. direct investment position in the branch resulted.
Since the facilities were transferred,
the foreign branch, as part of its trading operations, purchases oil from the
host government and incurs accounts
payable to the government; when the
oil is resold, the branch acquires accounts receivable due from the purchasers. The accounts payable as well as
the accounts receivable are transferred
to the U.S. parent for settlement. Thus,
no significant direct investment position, either positive or negative, arises
from the branch's trading operations.
The above-mentioned valuation adjustment reflected the removal of the accounts payable from the direct investment account and their transfer to the
account of U.S. nonbanking concerns
as commercial liabilities to unaffiliated
foreigners.

outflows declined $3.4 billion, to $1.5
billion (table 4). They were at the second lowest level since 1959. (Outflows
were smaller in 1974, when sharp increases in crude oil prices resulted in
large inflows from affiliates in petroleum producing areas.)
By type of affiliate and account.—
The $3.4 billion decline in outflows was
more than accounted for by a $3.8 billion shift from outflows to, to small inflows from, unincorporated affiliates.
Flows to or from these affiliates are
shown as a single summary account consisting of the parents' total claims, both
equity and debt, on the affiliates' net
assets.
Partly offsetting was a $0.4 billion increase in outflows to incorporated affiliates. The increase reflected a $1.5 billion
increase in outflows for capital stock,
partly offset by a $1.1 billion shift to inflows on intercompany accounts. The increase in outflows for capital stock—

the net of increases and decreases in
U.S. parents' holdings of stock in affiliates—occurred because increases in
stock were larger, and decreases smaller,
than in 1979. The shift to inflows on intercompany accounts stemmed from
smaller increases in U.S. parents' receivables from, partly offset by smaller
increases in their payables to, affiliates.3
By industry and area.—By industry,
a large shift from equity and intercompany account outflows to inflows occurred in petroleum, while outflows
tripled in manufacturing and increased
slightly in "other" industries. By area,
outflows to developed countries increased $2.3 billion, to $5.1 billion;
3. Increases (decreases) in receivables are intercompany account outflows (inflows), while increases (decreases) in payables are inflows (outflows). The change in intercompany account outflows is thus the second-order change (i.e., the
change in the change) in receivables minus the second-order change in payables.

flows to sizable outflows occurred,
mainly because of changes in flows to
and from British and German automotive affiliates. These affiliates had made
large loans to their U.S. parents in the
second half of 1979 and, on a slightly
reduced scale, in the first three quarters
of 1980. The loans were repaid in the
fourth quarter, causing the large yearto-year shift, and then new loans were
extended in the first quarter of 1981,
Outflows to affiliates in "other" industries increased $0.1 billion, to $0.8 billion. The increase reflected several much
larger, but offsetting, changes. Outflows
to developed countries increased $0.6 billion, to $1.9.billion; inflows from developing countries increased $0.8 billion, to
$1.0 billion; and inflows from "international" declined $0.2 billion, to $0.1 billion.
Within developed countries, outflows
to Europe increased $1.4 billion, mainly
reflecting the acquisition of an. affiliate.
In contrast, there was a $0.9 billion
shift to inflows from Canada, largely

Outflows to Canada increased, primarily because decreases in U.S. parents holdings of capital stock in affiliates were larger in 1979 than in 1980.
Canada's National Energy Program,
which was proposed in October 1980
and was designed to encourage increased domestic ownership of the Canadian petroleum industry, did not
result in significant U.S. disinvestments
until 1981. (However, partly in response to other Canadian policies, several disinvestments did occur in the few
years before the program's announcement, and, as mentioned below in the
section on outflows by status of affiliate,
a disinvestment in an indirectly owned
petroleum affiliate earlier in 1980 resulted in inflows in "other" industries.)
Outflows to manufacturing affiliates
increased $2.4 billion, to $3.5 billion.
Affiliates in developed countries, particularly Europe, more than accounted
for the increase; outflows to affiliates in
developing countries declined slightly.
For Europe, a shift from small in-

as a result of the sale of several affiliates
by U.S. direct investors.
Almost all of the increase in inflows
from developing countries was in Latin
America. Netherlands Antillean finance
affiliates more than accounted for the increase. Inflows from these affiliates
largely represented relending to U.S.
parents of funds borrowed abroad by
the affiliates. The inflows were large in
both 1979 and 1980—$1.2 billion and
$2.4 billion, respectively. Acceleration
of the inflows reflected generally more
favorable conditions in Eurobond markets, where much of the borrowing originated.
By status of affiliate.—Table 5 shows
equity and intercompany account outflows to new affiliates, to affiliates liquidated or sold, and to all other affiliates.
The table shows, for affiliates whose
status changed, both the flows associated
with the change in status—such as outflows that financed an acquisition or inflows that reflected the proceeds of a
liquidation or sale—and all other flows.

SUEVEY OF CUEKENT BUSINESS

August 1981

Inflows from affiliates that were
liquidated or sold were $1.9 billion, and
outflows to new affiliates were $0.2 billion. (The comparable figures for 1979
were $1.5 billion and $0.8 billion, respectively.)
Outflows to newly acquired affiliates
were $1.0 billion, and there were inflows
of $0.8 billion from newly established
affiliates. Outflows to newly acquired
affiliates were largest in "other" industries, and included outflows to finance
the acquisition of a large British insurance company. Inflows from Latin
American affiliates in "other" industries
more than accounted for the inflows
from newly established affiliates; they
reflected the transfer to U.S. parents of
the proceeds of foreign borrowing by
new Netherlands Antillean finance affiliates. Outflows to newly established affiliates were largest in petroleum; in
that industry, several affiliates engaged
in oil and gas exploration and extraction in "other" developing countries
largely accounted for the outflows.

Inflows from affiliates that were sold
were $1.7 billion, and inflows from affiliates that were liquidated were $0.2 billion. Seventy percent of the inflows
from affiliates that were sold were in
"other" industries. Within "other" industries, the inflows wrere concentrated
in Canada, where a coal mining affiliate,
a holding company through which a
U.S. parent owned a number of public
utility affiliates, and several other affiliates were sold in 1980. Inflows from the
coal mining affiliate reflected the proceeds of two transactions: first, the U.S.
parent's sale, toward the end of the year,
of its remaining minority interest in the
affiliate, which it had once wholly
owned, and second, the affiliate's sale
earlier in the year of a petroleum affiliate that it owned.
Reinvested earnings
Eeinvested earnings of incorporated
affiliates declined 10 percent, to $17.0
billion (table 6). Eeinvested earnings
consist of earnings (i.e., U.S. parents'

shares in the net income) of incorporated affiliates less gross dividends (i.e.,
dividends before deduction of foreign
withholding taxes) on common and
preferred stock held by U.S. parents.
The decline in reinvested earnings primarily reflected a 15-percent increase in
gross dividends. By area, reinvested
earnings declined 15 percent in developed countries, increased 6 percent in
developing countries, and declined 5
percent in "international." By industry, they declined in petroleum and
manufacturing, and increased slightly
in "other" industries. The reinvestment
ratio—the fraction of earnings reinvested—declined from 0.65, which was a
record high for the years 1950 forward,
to 0.59.
British affiliates accounted for over
70 percent of the decline in reinvested
earnings and for about one-half of the
decline in the reinvestment ratio. These
affiliates' reinvested earnings and reinvestment ratios were affected by
changes in taxation in both 1979 and
1980. In 1979, their earnings were boost-

ed as a result of new legislation that
permitted them, along with other
British companies, to eliminate certain
deferred tax liabilities.4 The legislation
had been widely anticipated, and the
elimination of the liabilities generally
did not give rise to increased dividend
payments. Consequently, both reinvested earnings and the reinvestment ratio
were raised above what they otherwise
would have been. In 1980, U.S. parents
received tax refunds, which were included in both the earnings and gross
dividends of their incorporated affiliates. Since earnings and gross dividends were increased by equal amounts,
reinvested earnings were not affected,
and the reinvestment ratio was lowered.
The refunds—of the Advance Corporation Tax—were made as a consequence
of a new tax treaty between the United
States and the United Kingdom. They
permitted U.S. stockholders of British
corporations to benefit retroactively
from a tax credit that previously had
been available only to British stockholders.
Reinvested earnings of petroleum
affiliates declined 16 percent, to $4.6 billion. They declined 7 percent in developed countries and 45 percent in
developing countries. The decline in developed countries was centered in Europe, particularly in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands; in both
countries, the declines were attributable
to increases in dividends. The decline in
developing countries was concentrated
in the Bahamas and Bermuda, and was
due to declines in earnings in both
countries.
Eeinvested earnings of manufacturing affiliates declined 16 percent, to $6.4
billion. They declined 32 percent in developed countries and increased 79 percent, from a much smaller base, in
developing countries.
Over 85 percent of the decline in developed countries was in Europe. Sharp
declines, particularly in transportation
equipment manufacturing, occurred in
the United Kingdom and Germany as
a result of declines in earnings.
4. The legislation and its accounting treatment
are summarized in Obie G. Whichard, "U.S. Direct
Investment Abroad in 1979," SURVEY 60 (August
1980) : 20-21.




SUEVEY OF CURKENT BUSINESS
The increase in developing countries
was almost entirely in Latin America,
where, in turn, nearly all of the increase
was in Brazil, Mexico, and Argentina.
In Brazil and Argentina, increases reflected both increases in earnings and
declines in dividends, while in Mexico,
almost all of the increase was attributable to an increase in earnings.
In "other" industries, reinvested
earnings increased 2 percent, to $6.1 billion. They increased 4 percent in developed countries and declined 3 percent
in developing countries. In developed
countries, increases in Canada and
"other" developed countries more than
offset a decline in Europe; all of these
changes were primarily attributable to
changes in earnings. In developing
countries, a decline in "other" developing countries, where a Middle East
affiliate paid an unusually large dividend, more than accounted for the
decline in reinvested earnings.
Income
Income, the return on the U.S. direct
investment position abroad, declined 4
percent, to $36.8 billion (table 7). Income consists of earnings—i.e., U.S.
parents' equity in the net income (after
foreign income taxes) of their foreign
affiliates—plus net interest received on
intercompany accounts, less withholding taxes on dividends and interest
(table 8). Alternatively, it is the sum of
(1) interest, dividends, and earnings of
unincorporated affiliates and (2) reinvested earnings
of
incorporated
affiliates.
Income declined 1 percent in developed countries and 11 percent in developing countries; it more than doubled,
from a relatively small base, in "international." The decline in developed
countries was in Europe, and that in
developing countries was in "other"
developing countries.
Income from petroleum affiliates declined 3 percent, to $13.0 billion. It increased 23 percent in developed countries and declined 35 percent in
developing countries. It nearly tripled,
from a relatively small 1979 base, in
"international."

August 1981

Within developed countries, European affiliates had the largest increase—
more than 30 percent. The increase was
accounted for by British, Norwegian,
and Netherlands affiliates engaged primarily in oil and gas extraction and, in
several countries, by refining and marketing affiliates having access to relatively low-priced Saudi Arabian crude
oil. Income also increased in both
Canada and "other" developed countries. The increase in Canada would
have been significantly larger had 1979
income not been inflated by capital
gains on oil- and gas-producing properties sold by two unincorporated affiliates in that year.
Within developing countries, the
decline was centered in "other" developing countries. In that area, income
declined 36 percent. The decline was
more than accounted for by the previously mentioned change in the nature
and status of the operations of the
Middle East branch of a U.S. petroleum company. As a result of this
change, the branch experienced a loss,
caused by a reduction in operating income and a nonrecurring capital loss.
Income from other affiliates in this area,
particularly those operating in Indonesia, increased. In Indonesia, the increase apparently reflected higher crude
oil prices.
Income from affiliates in Latin America declined more than 30 percent.
Offshore trading affiliates largely accounted for the decline. These affiliates'
earnings had increased sharply in 1979,
when the prices at which they could resell oil increased faster than the prices
specified in their contracts with the oil
producing countries from which they
purchased it. In 1980, in contrast, increases in contract prices generally
could not be fully passed on, and affiliates' profit margins narrowed.
Income from manufacturing affiliates declined 14 percent, to $11.3 billion. It declined 22 percent in developed
countries and increased 33 percent in
developing countries. The decline in developed countries was concentrated in
Europe, where income declined 27 percent. There were smaller declines in
Canada and "other" developed countries.

ly mentioned tax changes. (Income was
probably boosted significantly more in
1979 by elimination of the deferred tax
liabilities than in 1980 by the Advance
Corporation Tax refunds.)
Almost all of the increase in income
from manufacturing affiliates in developing countries was in Latin America.
Within Latin America, Brazil and
Mexico accounted for over threefourths of the increase; Argentina accounted for a large share of the remainder. Although Brazil had the sharpest
increase, it represented only a partial
recovery from 1979, when income had
declined sharply because of unfavorable economic conditions and a large
devaluation of the cruzeiro; a substantial portion of the increase was in transportation equipment, where, partly as
a result of increased sales by affiliates,
income shifted from negative to posi-

28
tive. In Mexico, the increase was more
evenly dispersed among industries, and
reflected continued economic growth,
spurred by the development of its petroleum resources.
Income from affiliates in "other" industries increased 6 percent, to $12.6
billion. It increased 7 percent in developed countries, 3 percent in developing
countries, and 44 percent—from a very
small base—in "international." The
increase in developed countries was in
Canada and "other" developed countries, particularly the latter. The increase in Canada was largest in mining;
part of it reflected a nonrecurring capital gain on the previously mentioned
coal mining affiliate's sale of its petroleum affiliate. (If the U.S. parent had
owned the petroleum affiliate directly,
the capital gain would have accrued
directly to the parent and would not
have been included in income from foreign affiliates.) The increase in "other"
developed countries was concentrated
in Japan and Australia. In the former,
it was centered in banking and trade,
while in the latter, it was spread over
several industries. Income from European affiliates declined; the decline was
in banking and trade.
In developing countries, income from
affiliates in "other" industries increased
slightly in both Latin America and
"other" developing countries. In Latin
America, increases in trade and banking were largely offset by a decline in
finance (except banking), insurance,
and real estate. The latter partly reflected an increase in interest payments
by U.S. parents to their Netherlands
Antillean finance affiliates, which, as
noted above, had substantially increased
their lending to the parents in 1979 and,
to an even greater extent, in 1980. (The
increase in interest payments did not result in a comparable, offsetting increase
in the earnings component of income
from these affiliates because they, in
turn, had to make increased interest
payments to foreign lenders.)
The rate of return on the direct investment position is defined as the ratio
of income to the average of the beginning- and end-of-year positions. The
rate is an average for existing investments, at historical book value, and can

thus be of only limited use in predicting the profitability of prospective new
investments.
The rate of return declined from 22
percent—a very high rate by historical
standards—to 18 percent, because of
both a 4-percent decline in income and
a 15-percent increase in the average
position. The rate of return declined in
all three major industries—from 39 to
30 percent in petroleum, from 18 to 13
percent in manufacturing, and from 18
to 17 percent in "other" industries.
The very high rates of return in petroleum in "other" developing countries—579 percent in 1979 and 78 percent in 1980—occurred because a few
large affiliates either had substantial
accounts receivable due from their U.S.
parents or had transferred accounts receivable due from third parties to their
parents for collection. In both cases, the
parents' direct investment position in
the affiliates was reduced, but income
was essentially unaffected. The sharp
decline in the rate of return from 1979
to 1980 largely reflected the reduction in
income from, and the elimination during 1980 of the negative position in, the
previously mentioned Middle East
branch of a U.S. petroleum company.

Fees and royalties from affiliates in
"other" industries increased 21 percent,
to $1.5 billion. The increase was concentrated in developing countries, where
fees and royalties increased 50 percent.
Within the developing countries, most
of the increase was in service charges
and rentals.
Technical Note

For years beginning with 1977, estimates of
the U.S. direct investment position abroad
and of transactions between U.S. parents and
their foreign affiliates have been revised to
incorporate the results of the 1977 benchmark
survey of U.S. direct investment abroad. The
purpose of the survey was to obtain complete
and accurate information on such investment
in 1977. The survey was a census, intended to
cover the investment universe. Reports for
3,540 U.S. parent companies and their 24,666
foreign affiliates were received.5
The 1977 survey was the first benchmark
survey of U.S. direct investment abroad conducted under the International Investment
Survey Act of 1976. The act requires that a
benchmark survey be conducted at least once
every 5 years. Previous benchmark surveys,
conducted under authority of the Bretton
Woods Agreements Act of 1945, were less frequent and less comprehensive in terms of the
types of information collected. The last such
survey covered 1966. Current estimates for
the years 1967-76 and previous estimates for
the years 1977 forward were linked to that
survey.

ences between the previous and revised series.

Fees and royalties from petroleum
affiliates declined 27 percent, to $0.2 billion. The decline was in service charges
and rentals from affiliates in "international" and in "other" developing countries—primarily the Middle East.
Fees and royalties from manufacturing affiliates increased 16 percent, to $4.0
billion. Over two-thirds of the increase
was in Europe, mostly in royalties and
license fees. Within Europe, the increase was concentrated in chemicals.

5. An additional 11,123 very small affiliates—
those with total assets, sales, and net income of
less than $500,000—were exempted from the survey
in order to reduce the reporting burden on companies. Despite their large number, exempt affiliates
accounted for 1 percent or less of the assets, sales,
and net income of all affiliates. Thus, coverage of
the universe in terms of value was virtually
complete.
6. As explained below, the 1977 data on equity
and intercompany account outflows differ from
those published in conjunction with the benchmark
survey. Detailed 1977 data for this item, as well
as the detailed 1978 estimates for other items, may
be obtained by writing the Bureau of Economic
Analysis (BE-50), U.S. Department of Commerce,
Washington, D.C. 20230.

August 1981
Estimation procedure
For 1977, the data are those reported in the
benchmark survey. For all items except equity
and intercompany account outflows, the data
cover the universe of affiliates. For equity
and intercompany account outflows, the data
cover only affiliates that were reported in both
the benchmark survey and the quarterly sample surveys; therefore, data for the benchmark year are consistent with those for the
nonbenchmark years, which, as discussed
below, are the sum of reported sample data.
In principle, this permitted a better estimate
of year-to-year changes in outflows than
would have been possible if the data for the
universe reported in the benchmark survey
and published in U.8. Direct Investment
Abroad, 1977 had been used instead.7
For years beginning with 1978, universe
estimates were obtained by extrapolating forward the 1977 benchmark survey data, based
on quarterly sample data collected in those
years. Universe estimates were generally obtained as the sum of three components: (1)
current-period data for a matched sample of
affiliates—i.e., for affiliates reported in both
the prior and current periods, (2) currentperiod data for affiliates new to the sample,
and (3) an estimate of current-period data
for affiliates that existed in both periods but
were not in the matched sample.8 The third
component was, in turn, obtained as the product of two factors: (1) the prior-period uni7. Because it was measured directly in the benchmark survey, rather than being constructed as a
cumulation of capital outflows and valuation adjustments, the U.S. direct investment position
abroad at yearend 1977, as published in this article, was not affected by the coverage of 1977
equity and intercompany account outflows.
8. For 1978 and 1979, the prior period was the
previous year; for 1980, it was the same quarter
of the previous year. For 1978 and 1979, annual
estimates were obtained first; then quarterly estimates for those items that are included in the U.S.
international transactions accounts were prepared
by (1) allocating among quarters the difference
between the annual estimate for a given year and
the sum of reported quarterly data, and (2) adding
these allocated amounts to the reported sample
data for each quarter. For 1980, quarterly estimates were prepared directly and summed to yield
annual estimates. The method used for 1980 is the
one BEA uses to prepare quarterly estimates on a
current basis. That method could not be used for
1978, partly because quarterly universe data for
1977 were not available to serve as a benchmark
that could be extrapolated to quarterly universe
estimates for subsequent years. (Only annual data
were collected in the benchmark survey; thus, for
all years, the distribution of universe estimates
among quarters reflects only the quarterly distribution of reported sample data.) In addition, the
method used for 1978 and 1979 was more economical to apply than the one used for 1980, and its use
enabled BEA to adhere to its customary publication schedule despite the added task of linking the
sample data to a new benchmark survey. Although
from a conceptual standpoint, producing quarterly
estimates directly has certain advantages over deriving them residually, the choice of method was inconsequential from a practical standpoint, because,
once all reports were received, the reported sample
data accounted for a very large proportion of the
universe estimate based on either method.




SURVEY OF CUEEENT BUSINESS
verse estimate, adjusted to exclude data for
affiliates sold or liquidated since the prior
period, less prior-period data for affiliates in
the matched sample, and (2) the ratio of current- to prior-period data for the matched
sample. The first factor is an estimate of
prior-period data for affiliates existing in
both periods but not in the matched sample.
Its multiplication by the second factor assumed, in effect, that the data for these affiliates grew at the same rate as the data for
affiliates in the matched sample. Adjustments
were made where this assumption seemed
unlikely to hold.
Universe estimates were computed for each
country-industry cell shown in the published
tables. Universe estimates of interest, dividends, earnings of unincorporated affiliates,
earnings of incorporated affiliates, royalties
and license fees, service charges and rentals,
and film and television tape rentals were computed as described above. Universe estimates
of withholding taxes on dividends were obtained by multiplying the universe estimates
of dividends by foreign withholding tax rates
derived from data reported in the benchmark
survey. Equity and intercompany account outflows and valuation adjustments were as reported in the sample surveys; no estimates
were made for unreported data.9 Universe
estimates of reinvested earnings; the sum
of interest, dividends, and earnings of unincorporated affiliates ; earnings; income; capital outflows; and fees and royalties were
derived from the estimates of items mentioned previously. Universe estimates of the
direct investment position were obtained as
the sum of the previous year's position,
current-year capital outflows, and currentyear valuation adjustments.
Changes in concepts, definitions, and
presentation
In preparation for the benchmark survey,
a thorough review was made of direct investment concepts and definitions, and of the
table formats used for data presentation.
Major differences in concepts, definitions, and
presentation between the previous and the
revised series are summarized below. Additional details may be found in U.S. Direct Investment Abroad, 1977.
Less-than-10-percent ownership interests.—
In both the previous and revised series, a
private U.S. investment abroad was con9. Reported sample data on equity and intercompany account outflows tended to be extremely volatile and were characterized by frequent sign reversals ; thus, they could not be used as a basis for
providing reliable estimates of unreported transactions, particularly for individual countries and
industries. Use of the reported sample data alone
assumed, in effect, that unreported transactions
netted to zero—i.e., that outflows to some affiliates
were exactly offset by inflows from others. To the
extent that this assumption did not hold in fact,
published outflows are biased. In revised data, the
bias is probably small, because, once all reports
have been received, the sample has generally been
found to account for a large proportion of the
universe.

29
sidered a direct, rather than a portfolio, investment if a single U.S. person owned at
least 10 percent of the voting securities (or
the equivalent) of a foreign business enterprise. However, in the previous series, an interest of a U.S. person of less than 10 percent
was also included in direct investment in two
cases: (1) when another U.S. person held an
interest of at least 10 percent in the same
foreign business enterprise, and (2) when, in
the case of a publicly held foreign company,
the combined interest of all U.S. persons was
at least 50 percent. In the revised series, direct investment is defined strictly from the
viewpoint of a single owner, and all lessthan-10-percent interests are included in portfolio investment. (In actuality, reclassification of investment in publicly held companies
made little difference because U.S. ownership
in the only such companies of significant size
fell below 50 percent before 1977.)
"International" category.—In the revised
series, the "international" category consists
of affiliates that have operations spanning
more than one country and that are engaged
in petroleum shipping, other water transportation, petroleum trading, and oil and gas
drilling. (Affiliates in these industries that
have operations entirely in one country are
classified in that country.) In the previous
series, the "international" category was defined more broadly; it included, for example,
Netherlands Antillean finance affiliates (see
below) and some affiliates engaged in nonpetroleum trading, other finance and insurance,
and construction.
Petroleum trading companies.—Most U.S1.
petroleum parent companies have trading subsidiaries, mainly incorporated in the United
States, that purchase foreign-produced petroleum and resell it to customers in both the
United States and third countries. In the previous series, these subsidiaries were classified
as foreign or domestic, depending largely
upon the reporting and consolidation practices of the U.S. parent companies. In processing the 1977 benchmark survey, BEA attempted to classify these subsidiaries more
consistently, based on objecitve criteria ; these
criteria were also applied in deriving the
extrapolated series for 1978 forward.
If a petroleum trading subsidiary met any
of the following criteria, it was usually classified as a foreign affiliate: (1) the subsidiary
had employees or property, plant, and equipment located abroad, (2) the buying and selling of petroleum took place from a foreign
location, (3) the subsidiary paid taxes to a
foreign government, or (4) the subsidiary was
incorporated in a foreign country. If none of
these criteria were met, the subsidiary was
usually treated as domestic (United States)
and was included as part of the consolidated
U.S. company. In most cases, the application
of these criteria resulted in the reclassification of the trading subsidiaries from foreign
to domestic.
In the typical case of a subsidiary that was

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

August 1981
(Continued from p. 30)

Most N.V. affiliates were established by U.S.
companies in response to the U.S. mandatory
controls on direct investment, which were in
effect from 1968 to 1974. The controls encouraged U.S. companies to finance their direct investments with foreign- rather than
U.S.-source funds. N.V. affiliates' borrowing
abroad provided certain advantages—such as
tax benefits and lower costs of incorporation—over direct borrowing by U.S. parents.
Except for these advantages, the U.S. parents
themselves would probably have borrowed
abroad, either directly or through their domestic (United States) finance subsidiaries.
Almost all of the proceeds of the N.V. affiliates' borrowing was in fact transferred to
their U.S. parents for further disposition,
often to other foreign affiliates. At the time,
it was thought that, instead of recording
transfers of the proceeds to U.S. parents as
direct investment intercompany account inflows from Latin America, such transfers
should be recorded in the portfolio investment
account as increases in the U.S. parents' liabilities to unaffiliated foreigners in Europe—
the ultimate source of nearly all of the borrowed funds. Subsequent reductions in U.S.
parents' liabilities to the N.V. affiliates were
recorded as payments of principal by the U.S.
parents to unaffiliated foreigners in Europe,
and interest payments on the borrowing by
the N.V. affiliates were recorded as interest
payments by U.S. parents to unaffiliated
foreigners in Europe. Other capital transactions between U.S. parents and their N.V.
affiliates, such as increases or decreases in
equity, and dividends or other income flows to
U.S. parents, were included in the direct investment accounts but were classified in "in-

Recently, borrowing by N.V. affiliates again in the 1977 benchmark survey.
Format of published tables.—In tables 11accelerated because of favorable conditions

in the Eurobond markets.

Foreign Direct Investment
in the United States in 1980
.IGHLIGHTS of foreign direct
investment in the United States in.1980
were:
• The foreign direct investment position increased 20 percent, to $65.5
billion, following a 28-percent increase
in 1979. The position increased 24 percent in petroleum, 16 percent in manufacturing, and 23 percent in other
industries.
• Capital inflows declined moderately, to $10.9 billion, following a 50percent increase in 1979. The decline was
entirely in equity and intercompany
account inflows; reinvested earnings of
incorporated ai&liates increased substantially.
• Equity and intercompany account
inflows declined 41 percent, to $4.7 billion, after a 49-percent increase. The
decline was entirely attributable to a
large shift to net outflows for intercompany account transactions; inflows
for capital stock and other equity remained at about the same high level as
in 1979—an indication that foreign direct investors' interest in the United
States remains strong.
• Reinvested earnings of incorporated affiliates increased 57 percent, to
$6.2 billion, following a similar increase
in 1979. The increase reflected larger
earnings and, to a lesser extent, higher
reinvestment ratios.
NOTE.—The quarterly survey from which
these annual estimates were derived was conducted under the supervision of James L.
Bomkamp, Chief, Direct Investment in the
United States Branch, International Investment Division. Project leader Gregory G.
Fouch was responsible for preparing estimates. Marie Colosimo edited and processed
the forms. Ronald Reed designed the computer programs for data retrieval and
analysis.

only the portion of total real estate held
by such affiliates that is financed with
funds from foreign parents. That portion may be small relative to the total
because real estate investments usually
are highly leveraged—the ratio of loans
(largely from unaffiliated sources) to
investors' funds used for equity purchases normally is high.
Investment in incorporated affiliates
accounted for 94 percent of the position;
it was mostly equity (capital stock and
retained earnings) rather than debt
(intercompany accounts) (table 3). Investment in unincorporated affiliates—
shown as a single summary account representing the parents' total claims, both
equity and debt, on affiliates' net assets—accounted for the remainder.

1980 Addition
The addition to the position was $11.0
billion, compared with $12.0 billion in
1979. The addition consisted of capital
inflows of $10.9 billion and valuation
adjustments of $0.2 billion. Capital inflows, in turn, consisted of equity and
intercompany account inflows of $4.7
billion and reinvested earnings of incorporated affiliates of $6.2 billion.
By country of foreign parent, the
eight countries with the largest additions accounted for 93 percent of the
total. The Netherlands accounted for
32 percent, Canada for 24 percent, and
the United Kingdom for 14 percent.
The Netherlands Antilles and Japan
accounted for 8 and 7 percent, respec-

tively, and France, Belgium and Luxembourg, and Switzerland for about 2
to 3 percent each.
Compared with 1979, the composition
of. the addition changed significantly
by area. The share accounted for by affiliates with parents in Canada increased from 8 percent to 24 percent,
and the shares accounted for by affiliates
with parents in Europe and "other"
countries declined—from 69 percent to
55 percent and from 17 percent to 14
percent, respectively. The share accounted for by Japanese-owned affiliates, at 7 percent, was about the same
as in 1979.
The composition of the addition
changed less significantly by industry
than by area. Manufacturing continued

2. Comparisons to years prior to 1974 are not
made here because of a break in series between pre1974 estimates and estimates for 1974 forward.
Estimates for years since 1974 are linked to the
1974 benchmark survey, while estimates for years
prior to 1974 are linked to the 1959 benchmark
survey, of foreign direct investment in the United
States.
3. Equity and intercompany account inflows for
1979 were revised upward by $1.9 billion from the

tions and establishments of U.S. business enterprises by foreign direct investors. It covers the
full cost of such acquisitions and establishments,
regardless of how or by whom they were financed,
presents selected operating and financial data of
the acquired or established enterprises, and provides information on ultimate beneficial ownership.
In contrast, this article covers existing U.S. affiliates as well as U.S. business enterprises acquired or
newly established. Thus, while the capital flow data
in this article include inflows from foreign parents
to acquire or establish U.S. business enterprises,
these inflows cannot be entirely separated from
other capital flows between foreign parents and
their U.S. affiliates. Also, they represent only the
portion of the total cost of acquisitions and establishments that is financed by foreign parents. For
findings of the new survey for 1980, see "U.S.
Business Enterprises Acquired or Established by
Foreign Direct Investors in 1980" on page 57.

The continued high level of equity inflows reflected continued strong foreign
direct investors' interest in the United
States.
The shift to outflows on intercompany
accounts consisted of a $2.1 billion decline in affiliate paya'bles due to their
foreign parents and a $1.2 billion increase in affiliate receivables due from
their parents (table 5). The decline in
payables was mostly in manufacturing;
the increase in receivables was primarily
in manufacturing and petroleum. These
changes were probably a response by
affiliates to foreign parents' need for
funds to finance their own domestic
operations, particularly in Europe.
The decline in inflows to unincorporated affiliates was more than accounted
for by a sizable shift to net outflows by
trade affiliates and a decline in inflows
to affiliates in "other" industries, particularly real estate; partly offsetting
was a large increase in inflows to insurance affiliates.
By area of foreign parent, the decline
in equity and intercompany account inflows was centered in inflows from
Europe, particularly Germany and the
United Kingdom; partly offsetting was
a sizable increase in inflows from
Canada.

tries. In manufacturing, they declined
$1.0 billion, to $1.7 billion. About onehalf of the decline was accounted for
by affiliates in "other" manufacturing.
The remainder was largely concentrated
in chemicals, machinery, and primary
and fabricated metals.
In "other" manufacturing, the decline in inflows was more than accounted for by a shift to net outflows
by German-owned affiliates. This shift
was mainly due to large increases in
outflows from affiliates manufacturing
automobiles, primarily in the form of
receivables due from parents. In contrast, inflows for capital stock in
"other" manufacturing increased substantially. The increase, which was
largely accounted for by affiliates of
parents in the United Kingdom and the
Netherlands, was primarily for acquisitions of U.S. companies in various industries, including plastic products,
nonelectrical machinery, building material supplies, and publishing and related businesses.
As in "other" manufacturing, the declines in inflows to affiliates in chemicals, machinery, and metals were also
largely on intercompany accounts. Inflows for capital stock in these industries increased. The increase in chemicals was largely accounted for by affili-

ates of parents in the Netherlands and
in Belgium and Luxembourg; it was
associated with the acquisition of a
number of chemical companies. In
machinery, the increase was primarily
in inflows to Canadian-owned affiliates
for the construction of a plant and the
purchase of companies manufacturing
communications equipment. The increase in metals mainly reflected the
acquisition of companies by Britishowned affiliates and a joint venture by a
Swedish-owned affiliate for production
of nonf errous metals.
In petroleum, there was a shift of
$0.8 billion, to net outflows of $0.3 billion. The shift was entirely in intercompany account transactions. It was
partly accounted for by British-owned
affiliates, which registered a sizable increase in receivables due from, and a

decline in payables due to, their parents.
Also contributing to the shift was the
fact that a large reduction in a Bermudan-owned affiliate's receivables from
its British parent in 1979 was not
repeated in 1980.
Inflows to insurance affiliates declined $0.7 billion, to $0.5 billion. A
large share of the decline was in inflows
for capital stock, mostly to affiliates of
parents in Germany and the Netherlands. It reflected the acquisition of several major insurance companies in 1979,
but not in 1980.
Inflows to trade affiliates declined
$0.5 billion, to $1.2 billion. Affiliates of
parents in Europe, particularly Germany and the United Kingdom, more
than accounted for the decline- partly

August 1981

German-owned affiliates shifted to net
outflows, reflecting declines in inflows
for capital stock and increases in outflows on intercompany accounts. The
decline in inflows to British-owned affiliates was mostly in intercompany account transactions. It was more than
accounted for by several affiliates that
trade in precious metals; they had substantial declines in payables, perhaps
because of sharp declines in the value
of, and demand for, such metals in 1980.
Partly offsetting was an increase in inflows for capital stock to British-owned
affiliates for the acquisition of a nationwide restaurant and hotel chain. The
increase in inflows from "other Middle
East" was primarily accounted for by
intercompany account transactions of a
new affiliates that had an increase in
orders from its foreign parent (the host

operations. The affiliate was previously
owned by a U.S. petroleum company
operating in the Middle East; it purchased U.S. parts, equipment, and engineering services and sold them to the
Middle East company. In 1980, the U.S.
company transferred the assets of its
Middle East operations to the host government. As part of that transfer, this
trade affiliate was acquired by the
government.
Among "other" industries, inflows declined slightly in real estate from a high

NOTE.—" Reported" refers to universe estimates derived
from reported sample data.

ing affiliates increased 57 percent, to
$1.6 billion. The increase was more than
accounted for by affiliates manufacturing food products. The increase in food,
in turn, was primarily accounted for by
a Canadian-owned affiliate that realized
an unusually large profit from the sale
of its petroleum subsidiary in 1980. Excluding this affiliate, reinvested earnings of manufacturing affiliates would
have declined. There were shifts to
negative reinvested earnings in "other"
manufacturing and machinery, and
large declines in reinvested earnings in
chemicals and metals. These changes
were due to declines in earnings and in
reinvestment ratios.
Reinvested earnings of trade affiliates
increased 53 percent, to $1.0 billion. The
increase, which was largely accounted
for by Japanese-owned affiliates, was
attributable to increases in both earnings and the reinvestment ratio. In
insurance, reinvested earnings increased 77 percent, to $0.4 billion. Affiliates of parents in the United Kingdom
and Germany accounted for most of the
increase.
Income
Income, the return on the direct investment position, increased 47 percent,




to $9.3 billion (table 7). Income consists
of foreign parents' equity in the net income (after deduction of U.S. income
taxes) of their U.S. affiliates, plus interest on intercompany accounts, less
withholding taxes on dividends and interest (table 8). Alternatively, it is the
sum of (1) interest, dividends, and
earnings of unincorporated affiliates,
and (2) reinvested earnings of incorporated affiliates.
The increase in income was widespread among major industries. Income
of petroleum affiliates increased substantially—61 percent, to $3.3 billion—
following a 64-percent increase in 1979.
The increase primarily reflected higher
petroleum prices, both because of price
increases by OPEC countries and the
gradual decontrol of crude oil prices in
the United States beginning in the
third quarter of 1979. Netherlandsowned affiliates accounted for much of
the increase. Income of affiliates with
parents in the Netherlands Antilles also
increased substantially, partly reflecting the operations of a new affiliate.
In manufacturing, income increased
46 percent, to $2.5 billion. There was an
unusually large increase in income in
food products, which was more than
accounted for by the Canadian-owned
affiliate mentioned above. Excluding
this affiliate, income in manufacturing
would have declined 62 percent. Declines were sizable in chemicals and
machinery. In the latter, Canadianowned affiliates manufacturing heavy
construction vehicles and agricultural
equipment incurred large losses. Income
declined moderately in "other" manufacturing. The decline was more than
accounted for by German-owned affiliates producing automobiles and related
products; these affiliates suffered large
losses in operations as a result of sluggish sales, high interest rates, and work
stoppages due to labor disputes.
Income of trade affiliates increased 30
percent, to $1.4 billion. The increase was
largely accounted for by Japaneseowned affiliates and reflected a rise in
the volume of these affiliates' trade with
Japan, particularly their imports of

Japanese automobiles and parts. British-owned affiliates also had a sizable
increase.
Insurance affiliates' income increased
34 percent, to $0.8 billion. Affiliates with
parents in the United Kingdom and
Germany had large increases. The increase in income of affiliates in "other"
industries was mostly in finance, largely
accounted for by affiliates of parents in
the Netherlands and Canada.
The rate of return on the direct investment position—income divided by
the average of the beginning- and endof-year positions—rose from 13 percent
to 16 percent, as income increased faster
than the average position—47 compared with 24 percent. The rate of return rose in all major industries and on
investment in all areas. The rise in petroleum was particularly large—from
23 percent to 30 percent—as was the rise
on Canadian investment—from 9 percent to 21 percent, reflecting the transaction of the previously mentioned affiliate in the food industry.

Fees and Royalties
Fees and royalties consist of net payments by U.S. affiliates to their foreign
parents for the sale or use of intangible
property, such as patents, industrial
processes, trademarks, and copyrights;
rentals for the use of tangible property;
service charges; and film and television




SURVEY OF CUEEENT BUSINESS
tape rentals. Net payments of fees and
royalties, at $0.5 billion, remained about
the same as in 1979 (table 9). There
were offsetting changes by industry; increases in petroleum and manufacturing, largely machinery and chemicals,
were virtually offset by a decline in
trade. The increase in petroleum reflected per-barrel royalty charges
against production above certain levels
from the North Slope. The increase in

51

manufacturing was largely attributable
to a rise in the use of patents held by
foreign parents. The decline in trade
was mostly due to increases in receipts
of service fees by an affiliate from its
parent in the Middle East and of
management and service fees by Japanese-owned affiliates for warranty
work performed for, and training given
by the affiliates to executives from, their
parent companies.

The International Investment Position of the
United States: Developments in 1980
ternational investment position is the
mirror image of the balance on current
account in U.S. international transactions, plus the allocation of special
drawing rights (SDK's) by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and
an entry for the statistical discrepancy
in the accounts. However, because capital flows and current account transactions are simultaneously determined
and interact through exchange rates
and other factors, there is no simple
cause and effect relationship between
them.
The U.S. current-account surplus was
$3.7 billion in 1980, compared with $1.4
billion in 1979. Despite the slowdown in
economic activity abroad, exports remained relatively strong, spurred by
earlier depreciation of the dollar against
most major currencies and continued
strength in agricultural exports. Sluggishness in the U.S. economy in the first
half of the year limited increases in both
petroleum and nonpetroleum imports.
In the services accounts, net receipts of
income on direct and portfolio investment combined were about unchanged,
after being a source of substantial
growth for the past few years.
Reflecting the difference between recorded capital outflows of $84.8 billion
and inflows of $50.3 billion, net recorded capital outflows were $34.5 billion
compared with $23.7 billion in 1979. Alternatively, net capital outflows equaled
the sum of the $3.7 billion current-account surplus, the $1.2 billion SDR allocation, and the $29.6 billion statistical
discrepancy (table 1).
For the second consecutive year, the
statistical discrepancy indicated large
unrecorded inflows—$29.6 billion in

JL HE net international investment
position of the United States increased
a record $27.7 billion in 1980, compared
with an increase of $17.6 billion in 1979
(table 1). U.S. assets abroad increased
an extraordinary $94.7 billion, compared with a $61.1 billion increase;
foreign assets in the United States increased $67.0 billion, compared with a
$43.5 billion increase.
The major factors contributing to the
increase in U.S. assets abroad were an
$84.8 billion capital outflow, largely reflecting a step-up in U.S. bank lending,
and an increase in U.S. official foreign
currency holdings. These outflows were
augmented by $9.9 billion in valuation
and other adjustments, mainly due to a
change in treatment of certain trade
payables of a U.S. direct investor's
overseas operations. The increase in
foreign assets in the United States was
largely accounted for by recorded capital inflows of $50.3 billion, reflecting a
shift to inflows for foreign official assets
(mainly from Organization of Petroleum Exporting Country (OPEC) members) and a slowdown in the increase of
U.S. bank liabilities to foreigners. These
inflows were augmented by $16.8 billion
in valuation and other adjustments,
mainly reflecting a 24-percent rise in
U.S. stock prices and the previously
mentioned change in treatment of certain trade payables, that increased liabilities to unaffiliated foreigners reported by U.S. nonbanking concerns.
The net U.S. international investment position was $122.7 billion at yearend 1980. U.S. assets abroad were $603.6
billion, up 19 percent, and foreign assets
in the United States were $480.9 billion,
up 16 percent.




both years would have been less. The
large unrecorded inflows in 1979 and
1980 were probably boosted by recurrent international political and military
tensions. (In addition, it should be noted
that the Interagency Committee on
Balance of Payments Statistics established a work group in September 1980
to investigate possible sources of the
large statistical discrepancy in the past
two years. The initial focus of the group
was on financial market developments,
where some evidence suggested that
U.S. nonfinancial firms' borrowings
from banks abroad were underreported
or unreported by the firms or the banks.
As a result of the investigation, modification and clarification of reporting
instructions will be implemented. The
group will next review reporting by
nonbank financial institutions.)
Changes in U.S. Assets Abroad
Bank claims
Claims on foreigners reported by
U.S. banks reached $204.0 billion at the
end of 1980, 30 percent higher than in
1979. The record $47.0 billion increase
accounted for almost half the increase
in the value of total U.S. assets abroad
(table 2). Much of the rise was in
banks' own claims on their own foreign
offices. U.S.-owned banks, in particular,
became large net lenders to their foreign offices in 1980, a marked shift from
their small net borrowed position in
1979 (table 2a).
Interest rate developments and official monetary measures were important
factors influencing transactions between
U.S.-owned banks and their foreign
offices. When an 8-percent marginal reserve requirement was imposed in October 1979 on increases in managed liabilities, including Eurodollar borrowings,

August 1981

U.S. banks shifted some loans to their
foreign offices to. reduce the net deposit
position to which the requirements were
applied. This lending accelerated when
additional marginal reserve requirements and domestic credit controls were
imposed in March 1980 before being
removed in July.
Another factor encouraging U.S.
bank lending to foreigners was the more
rapid decline of Eurodollar interest
rates than the U.S. prime (and related
borrowing) rates from their peaks in
early April. U.S. banks increasingly
quoted and booked their loans at London
interbank offer (LIBOR) rates with
their foreign offices and supplied funds
to these same offices to make the loans.
Some of the funds were, in turn, lent to
U.S. nonbank residents, especially in
the second quarter, because it was
cheaper for U.S. corporations to borrow
from foreign rather than domestic
banking offices.
In response to these economic developments, claims of U.S.-owned banks
on their foreign offices increased $12.8
billion, compared with a $3.5 billion decrease in 1979. By contrast, claims of
foreign-owned banks in the United
States on their offices abroad increased
only $4.9 billion, compared with a $9.3
billion increase in 1979. Claims on foreigners, other than those on bank's foreign offices, rose strongly.
The geographic distribution of outstanding bank claims at the end of 1980
reflected the growth in lending by U.S.owned banks to Eurodollar centers in
the Caribbean, raising the latter's share
of total U.S. lending to foreigners to
23 percent, compared with 19 percent in
1979. The share of claims on Western
Europe declined to 23 percent from 26
percent. The Canadian and Japanese
shares were unchanged at 5 and 11 percent, respectively. Claims on Latin
America remained at 27 percent of the
total.
Worldwide, banks in the United
States and U.S. bank branches overseas
accounted for a large share of international bank credit in 1980. Either directly, or indirectly through interbank
lending, they supplied an estimated 25
percent of gross external lending, compared with 17 percent in 1979.

1. Data for 1976-79 are revised; data for 1980 are preliminary.

At yearend, U.S. bank assets abroad
accounted for 34 percent of total U.S.
assets abroad, up from 31 percent in
1979 and 29 percent in 1978 (table 3).
Foreign securities
Holdings of foreign securities by
U.S. residents increased $5.5 billion in
1980 to $62.1 billion at yearend, compared with an increase of $3.2 billion
in 1979. Holdings of foreign stocks increased substantially; bond holdings
increased moderately.
U.S. residents' holdings of foreign
stocks increased $4.1 billion. Eecord net
purchases of $2.3 billion and price appreciation in most major foreign markets accounted for the increase. U.S.held Japanese stocks increased $1.8
billion, $1.0 billion of which reflected
a 15-percent appreciation of the Japanese yen against the dollar and a 9-percent rise of the Tokyo stock exchange
index. The Japanese Government also
removed some restrictions on capital
inflows. U.S.-held Canadian stocks increased $2.3 billion, due both to an 18percent rise in share prices and a $0.8
billion increase in purchases, primarily
in the first half of the year. The rise in
share prices reflected Canada's position
in energy and raw materials. Purchases
of Canadian equities dropped sharply
after October when U.S. investors re-

acted adversely to the Canadian Government's National Energy Program.
The rise in stock values was partly offset by a 2-percent depreciation of the
Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar.
Purchases of Western European stocks,
primarity of French and Dutch equities, increased $0.5 billion after no net
purchases in 1979. Price appreciation
added another $0.4 billion, but was
partly offset by exchange rate losses. At
yearend, the value of foreign stocks held
was $18.9 billion, up 28 percent from
1979.
U.S. residents' holdings of foreign
bonds increased $1.4 billion. New issues
were $3.3 billion, the lowest level since
1974, when the Interest Equalization
Tax w^as removed from purchases of
certain foreign securities by U.S. residents. High interest rates and rapid inflation in the United States limited all
but the highest rated foreign borrowers
from tapping the U.S. market. New
issues of Canadian bonds were $1.8 billion, unchanged from 1979. New issues
from Western Europe, at $1.0 billion,
were down $1.0 billion. Placements by
developing countries, especially Israel,
increased $0.4 billion. Eedemptions of
foreign bonds, principally of World
Bank issues, were stepped-up to $2.5
billion, while net trading in outstanding
bonds remained small.

SURVEY OF CUEEENT BUSINESS

At yearend 1980, U.S. holdings of
foreign securities accounted for 10 percent of total U.S. assets abroad, down
from 11 percent in 1979.
U.S. direct investment abroad and
other private assets
U.S. direct investment abroad increased 14 percent, or $26.7 billion, to

$213.5 billion, following a similar percentage increase in 1979.1 The rise consisted of $18.5 billion in capital outflows, down $5.4 billion from the previous year, and an unusual $8.2 billion
valuation adjustment. The latter reflected a change in the nature and status

mercial liabilities to unaffiliated foreigners (line 39, table 3); this transfer
largely accounts for the adjustment in
that line.
The lower level of direct investment
capital outflows in 1980 was in part due
to the final payment by a Middle East
government to the U.S. petroleum company referred to above for purchase of
the company facilities in the host country, and in part to increased payables
in the form of U.S. parent firms' borrowings from finance affiliates in the
Netherlands Antilles. Due to their need
for funds, U.S. parents drew over $2.4
billion from these foreign affiliates who,
in turn, acquired funds primarily from
new issues in the Eurobond market. Reinvested earnings were also lower, especially in industrial countries. At yearend, the book value of U.S. direct investment abroad accounted for about 35
percent of total U.S. assets abroad,
down from 37 percent in 1979.
Claims on unaffiliated foreigners reported by U.S. nonbanking concerns
increased $2.7 billion. The rise consisted
of a $0.9 billion increase in financial
claims, largely on Caribbean banking
centers, and a $1.8 billion increase in
trade receivables. Combined, these
claims accounted for 6 percent of total
U.S. assets abroad at yearend.

liabilities was $10.7 billion, compared
with $32.6 billion in 1979. Following
the imposition of the previously mentioned marginal reserve requirements
on Eurodollar borrowings and a drop
in domestic demand for funds, U.S.
banks relied less on foreign source
funds. U.S.-owned banks repaid $2.8
billion to their foreign offices in 1980,
utilizing lower cost domestic source
funds to finance U.S. loan demand in
the last half of the year. Foreign-owned
banks in the United States also reduced
their utilization of funds from foreign
offices—such borrowing increased $7.6
billion, compared with a $14.0 billion
increase in 1979. Foreign-owned banks
accounted for $46.5 billion, or about
one-third, of total liabilities to private
foreigners reported by U.S. banks. By
area, the largest slowdown occurred
with the United Kingdom and the Caribbean, chiefly with foreign offices of
U.S.-owned banks. These centers accounted for only 14 percent of the 1980
increase in bank-reported liabilities,
compared with more than 75 percent in
1979. In contrast, there was a large increase in interoffice liabilities of U.S.based Canadian banks, which utilized
lower cost funds from Canada. Bankreported assets, at $121.1 billion, accounted for 25 percent of total foreign
assets at yearend, down from 27 percent
in 1979.
Foreign holdings of U.S. Treasury
securities, excluding official holdings,
rose $1.9 billion in 1980. The rise was
largely accounted for by the $1.2 billion
placement of U.S. Treasury markdenominated notes with German residents in January. Among other foreign
holdings of U.S. Treasury issues, there
were increased purchases from Western
Europe, partly offset by a reduction in
holdings of the World Bank.

U.S. Business Enterprises Acquired or Established
by Foreign Direct Investors in 1980
B

ASED on preliminary results of a
BEA survey, foreign direct investors,
either directly or through their U.S.
affiliates, acquired or established 1,373
U.S. business enterprises in 1980, at a
cost of $9.9 billion. Details from that
survey, and revised data for 1979, are
presented below. Other highlights of
the survey:
• Acquisitions of existing U.S. business enterprises accounted for $8.1 billion of total investment outlays in 1980.
Most of the outlays were by U.S.
affiliates.
NOTE.—This survey was conducted under
the supervision of James L. Bomkamp, Chief,
Direct Investment in the United States
Branch, International Investment Division.
Joseph F. Cherry was project leader for editing and processing the forms. Richard Mauery
designed the computer programs for data
retrieval and analysis.

The scope of this article is different
from that of "Foreign Direct Investment
in the United States in 1980," (page 40
of this issue). This article covers the
full cost to foreign direct investors of
acquiring or establishing U.S. business
enterprises, regardless of how or by
whom financed, presents selected operating and financial data of the acquired
or established enterprises, and provides
information on ultimate beneficial ownership. "Foreign Direct Investment in
the United States in 1980" covers existing U.S. affiliates as well as U.S. business enterprises acquired or newly established in 1980. Capital flow data in
that article include inflows from foreign
parents to acquire or establish U.S. business enterprises. Those inflows, however,
cannot be entirely separated from other
capital flows between foreign parents
and their U.S. affiliates, and, in any
event, represent only the portion of the
total cost of acquisitions and establishments that is financed by foreign parents.
58




• Outlays were well below the revised 1979 level of $15.3 billion. Most of
the year-to-year decrease was explained
by the fact that there was no counterpart in 1980 to an unusually large (almost $4 billion) 1979 acquisition in the
petroleum industry.
• More than one-half of the number
of 1980 investments were in real estate.
Outlays were largest in manufacturing
($3.4 billion), real estate ($2.7 billion),
retail trade ($0.9 billion), and petroleum ($0.7 billion).
• When classified by the country of
the foreign parent—i.e., the country of
the first foreign person in the ownership chain of the acquired or established
U.S. business enterprise—more than 80
percent of total outlays were accounted
for by parents in developed countries.
The largest outlays were accounted for
by parents in the United Kingdom ($2.6
billion), the Netherlands ($1.6 billion),
Germany ($1.3 billion), and Canada
($1.2 billion). Among developing countries, the largest outlays ($1.2 billion)
were accounted for by parents in the
Netherlands Antilles.
• When classified by the country of
the ultimate beneficial owner, outlays
accounted for by investors in the Netherlands and the Netherlands Antilles
were much lower, and those accounted
for by investors in Canada, the Middle
East, and the Far East much higher,
than when classified by country of foreign parent.
• Foreign-source funds financed
nearly two-thirds of total investment
outlays.
• Total assets of all U.S. business
enterprises acquired or established in
1980 were $40.5 billion. Nearly one-half
of the total was in banking.

• Acquired enterprises had total assets of $37.0 billion and sales of $21.0
billion; they employed 261,000 workers
and owned 1.7 million acres of U.S.
land.
• Newly established enterprises had
total assets of $3.5 billion and sales of
$0.7 billion; they employed 6,000 workers and owned 0.3 million acres of U.S.
land.
These findings are from a BEA survey that covers two types of foreign direct investment in the United States:
(1) acquisitions of existing U.S. business enterprises, including business segments or operating units of existing
U.S. business enterprises, and (2) establishments of new U.S. business enterprises.1 Investments of either type may
be made directly, by the foreign direct
investor itself, or indirectly, by an existing U.S. affiliate of the foreign direct
investor. The data cover investments in
U.S. business enterprises that had total
assets of over $500,000, or that owned at
least 200 acres of U.S. land at the time
of acquisition or establishment,2
Data for 1979 have been revised upward substantially from those previ1. Foreign direct investment in the United States
is the ownership or control, directly or indirectly
by one foreign person, of 10 percent or more of the
voting securities of an incorporated U.S. business
enterprise or an equivalent interest in an unincorporated U.S. business enterprise. A foreign person is any individual, branch, partnership, association, trust, corporation, government, or government enterprise resident outside the United States.
A business enterprise is denned to include the
ownership of real estate. However, residential real
estate held exclusively for personal use is excluded
from coverage.
2. Investments not meeting either of these criteria had to be reported, but only limited information was required, primarily for identification
purposes. There were 1,116 such "partially exempt"
investments reported for 1980; total assets of the
U S. enterprises acquired or established were less
than $0.5 billion. For 1979, there were 742 such
investments reported; assets were less than $0.3
billion.

August 1981

ously published.3 (A technical note at
the end of this article discusses the revisions.) Data for 1980 are preliminary-—they are expected to be revised
upward when late reports are included.4
Because of improvements in the timeliness and quality of reported data, revisions for 1980 should be much smaller
than those for 1979. The 1980 revisions
are likely to raise the number of investments and investors proportionately
more than dollar values, because emphasis was placed on ensuring that large
investments were included in the preliminary data.
Dollar values for new investments in
a given year may be dominated by a
relatively small number of large transactions, mainly acquisitions. Changes in
the number or size of such large investments, or in their industry or country
classification, from one year to the next
may obscure any year-to-year changes
in the underlying pattern of investment.
Because of this, and because of the expected upward revisions for 1980, comparisons of preliminary 1980 data with
revised 1979 data should be made with
caution, especially for individual industries or countries. In this article, the primary focus is on 1980 data; limited comparisons with 1979 data are included.
The article is divided into two major
sections. The first discusses investment
transactions, including their number
and type, their cost to investors, and the
means by which they were financed. The
second presents data on the operations
of the U.S. business enterprises acquired
or established.

5. The number of investments and investors, their
distributions by type of investment and by type of

shown in tables 1 through 9, are affected by the
structure of investment transactions. For example,
a foreign direct investor may establish a U.S. holding company to acquire a U.S. business enterprise.

1). Investment outlays—the cost to investors of the equity interests acquired
or established—were $9.9 billion.
Most of the outlays—$8.1 billion—
financed the 631 acquisitions of existing
U.S. enterprises made during the year.
The remainder financed the establishment of 742 new U.S. enterprises,
mainly purchases of U.S. real estate.
The 1,373 investments were made by
1,498 investors—940 foreign direct investors and 558 existing U.S. affiliates
of foreign direct investors.6 Most of the
If the establishment and acquisition were made
simultaneously, or if it was made clear to BEA that
they were both part of a single investment transaction, only one report, reflecting the acquisition
of a U.S. business enterprise by a foreign direct
investor, would be required. In this case, the effect
on the data would be the same as if the foreign
direct investor acquired the enterprise directly,
without first establishing the holding company. If
either of the above conditions was not met, however,
two investments—the establishment of a U.S. holding company by a foreign direct investor and the
acquisition of a U.S. enterprise by a U.S. affiliate
(i.e., the holding company)—would be reflected in
the data (if the holding company met BE A's reporting requirements for a full—rather than partial—report). The distribution of investment outlays by source of financing, shown in table 8, is also
affected by the structure of investment transactions, because it reflects the reporting entity's immediate, rather than original, source of funds.
6. The number of investors was larger than the
number of investments because groups of two or
more investors participated in some investments.
For example, if two foreign direct investors—or a
foreign direct investor and one of its U.S. affiliates—jointly acquired direct investment equity interests in the same U.S. business enterprise, each
investor was counted separately.
An investor making more than one investment
during the year was counted once for each separate
investment.

investments by foreign direct investors
were to establish new enterprises, while
most of those by U.S. affiliates were to
acquire existing enterprises. Outlays by
foreign direct envestors were $3.2 billion, less than one-half of those by U.S.
affiliates.
Investment outlays in 1980 were well
below the 1979 level of $15.3 billion,
largely because of a decline—from $13.2
billion to $8.1 billion—in outlays for
acquisitions. A major factor in the decline was an unusually large petroleum
acquisition in 1979 that had no counterpart in 1980. Outlays for that acquisition—at the time, the most expensive in
U.S. history—were nearly $4 billion; in
contrast, outlays for the largest acquisition in 1980 were less than $0.7 billion.
Excluding the 1979 petroleum acquisition, outlays for acquisitions in 1980
were roughly $1.5 billion below the adjusted 1979 total. The year-to-year
decrease probably was not substantial
if account is taken of expected upward
revisions to the 1980 data because of
late reports.
Again excluding the 1979 petroleum
acquisition, the number (16) and cost
($3.3 billion) of large acquisitions—
those involving outlays of $0.1 billion
or more—were identical in 1979 and
(
1980.
The underlying strength of foreign
direct investment in the United States
persisted in 1980 despite a combination

of economic factors that worked to
weaken such investment. The U.S. economy was slack through much of the
year and economic activity slowed substantially in Europe. The resulting
downward pressure on the earnings of
foreign multinational companies reduced the amount of internally generated funds available for new investments, while soaring interest rates in
this country made acquisitions more expensive for investors who required
financing in U.S. capital markets.
The failure of these adverse short-run
developments to produce a substantial
slowing in the pace of foreign acquisitions underlines the importance of favorable long-run considerations, especially the size of the U.S. market and
the relative stability of economic and
political conditions in the United
States. Also, the decline in the foreign
currency value of the dollar during the
past decade lowered the cost to foreigners of acquisitions in the United States.
Industry
More than one-half of all 1980 investments were in real estate (table 2). Most
of the remainder were in manufacturing and in agriculture and forestry. In
both real estate and agriculture and
forestry, the investments were largely
purchases of unimproved land (classified as "establishments").
Investment outlays were highest in
manufacturing ($3.4 billion), real
estate ($2.7 billion), retail trade ($0.9
billion), and petroleum ($0.7 billion)




(table 3). Within manufacturing, $1.5
billion of the outlays were in "other"
and about $0.4 billion each in food and
nonelectrical machinery.
Eoughly one-third of the outlays in
"other" manufacturing were to acquire
a controlling interest in a U.S. tobacco
company that also produced and dis-

tributed other consumer products, including beverages. The company was
acquired by the U.S. affiliate of a British conglomerate. The British firm had
previously held a small (less than 10
percent) equity interest in the U.S.
company and had a marketing agreement with it for U.S. distribution of

spirits imported from the United Kingdom. The British firm sought control,
initially contested by the U.S. company,
to establish a direct marketing presence
in the United States. (Outlays for this
acquisition were the second largest for
any single investment in 1980.)
Three other large acquisitions accounted for another one-third of the
outlays in "other" manufacturing. The
largest was the acquisition of a substantial minority interest in a U.S. auto
manufacturer by a government-owned
French auto manufacturer. (The
French firm has an option to obtain a
majority interest in the future.) The
investment followed a series of production, marketing, and financing agreements between the two firms over the
preceding 2 years, including loans to,
and a less-than-10-percent equity investment in, the U.S. firm by the
French firm. The French firm was primarily interested in expanding its U.S.
sales through the U.S. firm's dealer network. The substantial increase in its
equity position in the U.S. firm followed deterioration of the U.S. auto
market in 1980 and the U.S. firm's resulting need for capital. The two other
large acquisitions in "other" were a U.S.
cement manufacturer acquired by a
German-owned U.S. affiliate and a U.S.
textile manufacturer acquired by a
British-owned U.S. affiliate. Most of
the remaining outlays in "other" were
for acquisitions in printing and publishing and in plastics.
In food, four acquisitions accounted
for almost all 1980 outlays. The two
largest were in beverages. One was the
acquisition of a large independent soft
drink bottler by the U.S. affiliate of a
Japanese company, the other the acquisition of a distiller by the U.S. affiliate
of a French company. (The latter was
related to the acquisition of the U.S.
tobacco company mentioned above; the
distiller was sold by the U.S. tobacco
company in an unsuccessful attempt to
fend off its own acquisition by the
British firm.) The other two major acquisitions in food were of a grain milling firm by a Canadian company and of




61

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
a meat packer by the U.S. affiliate of a
British company.
In nonelectrical machinery, most of
the outlays were for small- and
medium-sized investments, including
several acquisitions of U.S. manufacturers of office computing and accounting machines. Only one investment—
the acquisition of a construction and
mining machinery manufacturer by the
U.S. affiliate of a Canadian conglomerate—involved outlays of as much as
$0.1 billion.
Other major investments in manufacturing included acquisitions of: a
minority interest in a large pulp and
paper manufacturer by a Britishowned U.S. affiliate; an industrial
chemicals manufacturer by a Germanowned U.S. affiliate; and an electric motor manufacturer by a British-owned
U.S. affiliate.
Investment outlays in real estate
were $2.7 billion. Most were for small
investments in U.S. land. Of the 772
real estate investments, only 51 involved
outlays larger than $10 million; together, they accounted for $1.2 billion
of total outlays in real estate. The largest were acquisitions of a major office
building in New York City; an industrial complex, including plants, offices,
and warehouses, in New Jersey; and a
shopping center in California, all by
Netherlands investors or their U.S.
affiliates.
Roughly two-thirds of the $0.9 billion of outlays in retail trade were for
a single acquisition, the largest in 1980.
The U.S. affiliate of a diversified British manufacturing company acquired a
nationwide restaurant and hotel chain.
The U.S. chain, which relied to a large
extent on automobile travel for business, had been weakened by rising oil
prices and the subsequent reduction in
such travel in the United States. The
British conglomerate had accumulated
large cash reserves from several divestitures in 1979, and had been seeking a
major U.S. acquisition.
In petroleum, nearly one-half of total
outlays were for the acquisition of an
integrated U.S. petroleum company by
a Canadian petroleum company's U.S.
affiliate. The acquired company had

been a subsidiary of a U.S. conglomerate whose investments were mainly
outside petroleum; the conglomerate's
decision to sell its petroleum operations
was part of a program to restructure
its holdings and improve its cash position. Other outlays in petroleum were
primarily to acquire U.S. firms engaged
in oil and gas extraction.
Most of the remaining 1980 outlays
were in financial industries—$0.4 billion each in banking and insurance, and
$0.3 billion in finance, except banking.
Two major investments resulted in acquisitions of minority interests in a
U.S. bank, which was among the 15
largest in the Nation, and in a U.S.
securities brokerage firm; two U.S. insurance companies and a U.S. commercial credit company were also
acquired.
Country of foreign parent
Tables 4 and 5 show, respectively, investors and investment outlays by country of foreign parent; table 6 shows investments and investment outlays by
country of foreign parent.7 (The
foreign parent is the first foreign person
in the ownership chain of the acquired
or established U.S. business enterprise.)
In 1980, almost 60 percent of all investors were classified in developed
countries; they accounted for more than
80 percent of investment outlays. Most
of their outlays were to acquire existing
enterprises, mainly by U.S. affiliates.
Most of the outlays of investors classified in developing countries were to
establish new enterprises—mainly real
estate purchases—and were by foreign
direct investors themselves.
Of the $8.0 billion in outlays classified in developed countries, parents in
four countries—the United Kingdom,
7. Where more than one investor participated in
a given investment: (1) each investor—and its
outlays—were classified by the country of each individual foreign parent, and (2) the investment—
and total outlays associated with the investment—
were classified by the country of the foreign parent
with the largest equity interest in the U.S. business
enterprise. In 1980, as in 1979, there were only a
few investments with foreign parents in more than
one country, and, in all these cases, outlays were
small. The following discussion focuses on investors and outlays classified by the country of each
foreign parent.

62

the Netherlands, Germany, and Canada—had by far the largest totals.
Parents in the United Kingdom accounted for $2.6 billion of outlays,
almost all for acquisitions by their U.S.
affiliates. The two largest 1980 transactions—the acquisitions of the U.S. tobacco company and the nationwide restaurant and hotel chain discussed
above—were both by U.S. affiliates of
British parents; together, they accounted for nearly one-half of all outlays associated with British parents.
Most other outlays were in manufacturing and in finance, except banking.
Within manufacturing, they were
mainly in nonelectrical machinery, electric and electronic equipment, textiles
and apparel, and paper.
Parents in the Netherlands accounted
for $1.6 billion of outlays. About $1.0
billion of the total was in real estate,
including $0.3 billion for the three largest 1980 real estate investments mentioned above, and roughly $0.5 billion
for the nearly 100 investments by the
U.S. affiliates of two Netherlands holding companies. Outside real estate, outlays accounted for by Netherlands
parents were concentrated in manufacturing and banking.
Outlays accounted for by German
parents were $1.3 billion. About onehalf of the total was in manufacturing ;
the largest outlays were in chemicals
and cement. Outlays were over $0.1 billion each in petroleum, mining (all in
coal), and real estate.
Outlays accounted for by Canadian
parents were $1.2 billion. More than
one-third of the total was in petroleum,
almost all for a single acquisition. Another one-third was in manufacturing,
mainly in food and nonelectrical machinery. Canadian parents were also
active in real estate investments, which
accounted for outlays of more than $0.2
billion.
Foreign parents in the Netherlands
Antilles accounted for outlays of $1.2
billion—two-thirds of the total for all
developing countries. Most of the outlays financed the nearly 400 investments
in U.S. real estate by Netherlands Antillean parents.

August 1981

Country of ultimate beneficial owner
In the previous section, each investor
and its outlays were classified by country of foreign parent—the first foreign
person in the ownership chain of the
acquired or established U.S. business
enterprise. Each foreign parent may be
owned by other persons. The ultimate
beneficial owner (UBO) is the person
in the ownership chain, beginning with
the foreign parent, that is not owned
more than 50 percent by another person.
The country of the UBO may be the
same as that of the foreign parent, a
different foreign country, or the United
States. If the foreign parent is not
owned more than 50 percent by another
person, the foreign parent and the UBO
are the same.
As shown in the table below, a UBO
and its country were identified for the
in vestments, of most investors and for
more than 90 percent of investment outlays in both 1979 and 1980. Over 16 percent of total outlays in 1980, and 10 percent in 1979, were for investments for
which the UBO and foreign parent
countries differed.

foreign parent and of the UBO were
assumed to be the same.
When data were classified by country
of UBO, rather than by country of
foreign parent, only the Netherlands;
Bermuda and British Islands, Caribbean; and the Netherlands Antilles had
lower outlays in 1980. (This was true in
1979 as well.) The largest differences
were in the Netherlands ($0.7 billion)
and the Netherlands Antilles ($0.5 bil-

1. The foreign parent is the first foreign person in the ownership chain of the acquired or established U.S. business enterprise.
Where more than one investor participated in a given investment, the investment and investment outlays are classified by
the country of the foreign parent with the largest investment, i.e., the largest percent equity interest.

are shown in table 8. All funds are classified by the investor's immediate, rather
than original, source. Thus, for example, "other funds from foreign direct
investors" (which are funds supplied
by foreign direct investors to U.S. affiliates making investments) may include
funds that foreign direct investors
originally generated internally or borrowed from unaffiliated foreign sources.
Foreign-source funds financed $6.2
billion—nearly two-thirds—of total investment outlays. Foreign direct investors accounted for $5.2 billion of the
total—$3.3 billion of funds supplied to
U.S. affiliates making investments, and
$1.9 billion of internally generated
funds of foreign direct investors making investments. Most of the remainder
was borrowed from unaffiliated foreign
sources.
U.S.-source funds financed $3.7 billion of total investment outlays. Funds
borrowed from unaffiliated U.S. persons were $2.3 billion, of which $0.4
billion were from U.S. sellers of shares
and $1.9 billion from other unaffiliated
persons, primarily financial institutions. Outlays financed by internally
generated funds of U.S. affiliates making investments were $0.7 billion.
Funds from affiliated U.S. persons
Sources of financing
(which, for a U.S. affiliate making an
investment,
are funds from other U.S.
Investment outlays, disaggregated by
affiliates
of
its foreign parent), and
U.S. and foreign sources of financing,

lion). Advantages to UBO's of holding
their U.S. investments indirectly
through these countries may include
minimization of taxes, avoidance of
regulatory constraint, and protection of
privacy.
When classified by country of UBO,
outlays were significantly higher for
Canada, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, "other Middle East," and "other
Africa, Asia, and Pacific." The largest
differences were for Canada (mainly
reflecting roughly 100 real estate investments made through Netherlands holding companies by two large Canadian
real estate development companies) and
for "other Africa, Asia, and Pacific"
(reflecting a bank acquisition by Hong
Kong interests, also through a Netherlands holding company).
The difference for "other Middle
East" was accounted for by UBO's in
member States of the Organization
of Petroleum Exporting Countries
(OPEC). Outlays by UBO's in all
OPEC countries were $239 million in
1980, down from $324 million in 1979.
In each year, they were 2 percent of outlays by all investors. Almost all OPEC
outlays were to purchase real estate, including agricultural land.

SURVEY OF CUEEENT BUSINESS

funds from "other U.S. sources" were
each $0.3 billion.
The percentage of total outlays financed by U.S.-source funds was much
lower in 1980 than in 1979. However,
the distribution of 1979 outlays by
source of financing was greatly affected
by the financing of the large 1979 petroleum acquisition previously mentioned.
A sizable share of the outlays for that
acquisition was financed with loans
from unaffiliated U.S. sources. Excluding that acquisition, the shares of total
outlays financed by U.S.- and foreignsource funds, and by each of the sources
within U.S.- and foreign-source funds,
were almost identical in the 2 years.
Thus, significantly different economic
conditions in 1980, including sharply

higher U.S. interest rates and slower
economic growth in the United States
and abroad, did not alter the pattern of
financing of new foreign direct investments.
Table 9 shows investment outlays for
acquisitions of incorporated U.S. business enterprises, disaggregated by the
method used to acquire the ownership
interests. Such outlays were $5.4 billion,
two-thirds of those for all acquisitions.
(The remaining one-third involved acquisitions of unincorporated enterprises, including business segments and
operating units of incorporated enterprises.)
Of the $5.4 billion total, $1.5 billion
were outlays to acquire ownership interests in U.S. business enterprises di-

August 1981

rectly from the enterprises. Almost all
of the remainder were outlays to acquire ownership interests in enterprises
from unaffiliated U.S. sources: $1.4 billion by tender offer, less than $0.1 billion through open market purchases,
and $2.2 billion from other U.S. sources,
mainly private purchases of large
blocks of stock.

and mineral rights owned and leased,
and the gross book value of land and
plant and equipment, disaggregated by
primary use. Unlike the data on investment outlays, which relate only to the
equity interests obtained as a result of
the investment transactions, these data
cover the total operations of the acquired or established enterprise.
For acquired enterprises, data are
for (or as of the end of) the full year
preceding the year of acquisition; for
newly established enterprises, they are
projections for (or as of the end of) the
first full year of operation. To show the
size of all U.S. business enterprises acquired or established in the year, data
on total assets of both are aggregated
and discussed first, without regard to
this difference in coverage. Data for
acquisitions and establishments are
then presented and discussed separately.
Total assets of all U.S. business enterprises acquired or established in 1980
were $40.5 billion (table 10). Nearly
one-half—$19.4 billion—was in banking. (Four-fifths of the banking total
were assets of the large U.S. bank
acquired by a Netherlands parent whose




UBO is in Hong Kong.) Most of the
remaining assets were in manufacturing
($6.6 billion), finance, except banking
($4.9 billion), and real estate ($4.1
billion).
By country of foreign parent, assets,
like investment outlays, were concentrated in developed countries. Assets of
enterprises with parents in the Netherlands were the largest, at $17.8 billion.
They were concentrated in banking and
real estate; most were assets of enter-

prises with UBO's in other countries.
Assets of enterprises with Canadian
parents were $5.7 billion. More than
one-half were in finance, except banking, mainly the assets of an acquired
securities brokerage firm.
Enterprises with British parents had
assets of $5.2 billion. Of the total, $2.2
billion was in manufacturing—by far
the largest amount in manufacturing of
all the countries or country groups
shown in the table. Remaining assets

were concentrated in banking; finance,

About one-half of the $2.9 billion of
assets of enterprises with French parents were in manufacturing, mainly in
autos; assets in banking and finance,
except banking were also large. Assets
of enterprises with German parents, at
$1.6 billion, were also concentrated in
manufacturing, while those of enterprises with Swiss parents, at $2.0 billion, were concentrated in banking and
insurance.
Of the $4.3 billion of assets for all
developing countries combined, more
than one-half were assets of enterprises
with parents in the Netherlands Antilles. Enterprises with parents in
OPEC countries had assets of $0.5 billion. More than one-half were assets of
a U.S. wholesale trade company that
was previously owned by a U.S. petroleum company with operations in the
Middle East. The wholesale trade company purchased and shipped U.S. parts,
equipment, and engineering services to
the Middle East operations. In 1980, the
U.S. petroleum company transferred its
oil production facilities and most of its
refinery facilities in the Middle East to
the host government. In conjunction
with this transfer, the host government
acquired the U.S. wholesale trade company. Most of the other assets of U.S.
enterprises with OPEC parents were in
real estate and in agriculture and forestry, largely reflecting purchases of
U.S. land.
Total assets of all acquired or newly
established enterprises were $3.8 billion
higher in 1980 than in 1979. By industry, they were concentrated more in
banking and in finance, except banking,
and less in petroleum, manufacturing,
retail trade, and insurance.
The year-to-year increase in total
assets occurred despite a decrease in investment outlays. For acquisitions, the
relationship between total assets and investment outlays depends on several
factors. For an acquisition of 100 percent of an enterprise, the cost of acquisition (i.e., investment outlays) is
usually substantially less than the enterprise's total assets, because the purchaser is acquiring, and paying for,
equity. Equity is equivalent to net assets

(assets less liabilities), not total assets.
Where less than 100 percent ownership
is acquired, cost will be even smaller
relative to total assets because it reflects
only the portion of net assets acquired.
In addition, for both acquired and
newly established enterprises, differences may exist between the market
value of the enterprise and the value
carried on its books.
The increase in total assets from 1979
to 1980, despite the decrease in investment outlays, was mainly due to acquisitions in banking. In 1979, outlays to acquire banks were $0.9 billion, and the
banks had total assets of $13.1 billion;
in 1980, the comparable figures were
$0.4 billion and $19.4 billion, respectively. (For banks, assets and liabilities
reflect substantial loans and deposits
that arise in the normal course of their
business; thus, the difference between
their total assets and net assets can be
very large.) Contributing to the wider
difference between outlays and assets in
1980 was the fact that, in 1979, almost
all of the outlays and assets in banking
were associated with acquisitions of
equity interests of 75 percent or more;
in 1980, on the other hand, the largest
bank acquisition, which accounted for
about one-half of outlays and 80 percent of assets in banking, was for a lessthan 50-percent equity interest.8
Outside banking as well, acquisitions
of majority equity interests (interests
of larger than 50 percent) accounted for
much larger shares of outlays for, and
assets of, all acquisitions in 1979 than in
1980, as shown in the table below. In

particular, acquisitions of 100-percent
equity interests accounted for much
larger shares of both outlays and assets
in 1979.

acquired sufficient additional equity in the U.S.
bank to give it a controlling interest. Outlays associated with that transaction are not included
in these data because they were to acquire an addi-

Acquisitions
U.S. business enterprises acquired in
1980 had assets of $37.0 billion, more
than 90 percent of the total for all
acquired or established enterprises
(table 11). Because assets of acquired
enterprises accounted for such a large
share of the total, their distributions by
industry and by country of foreign parent are similar to those discussed above.
By industry, assets were concentrated
in banking ($19.1 billion), manufacturing ($6.3 billion), and finance, except
banking (lessthan$5.0billion).Within
manufacturing, total assets were largest
in "other" manufacturing—mainly in
autos and tobacco—and in nonelectrical
machinery. By country of foreign parent, total assets were heavily concentrated in enterprises with parents in
developed countries, mainly in the
Netherlands, Canada, and the United
Kingdom.
Enterprises acquired in 1980 had
plant and equipment (P&E), net of accumulated depreciation, of $3.9 billion.
Net P&E accounted for only 11 percent
of total assets because a large share of
the latter was accounted for by financial
assets of acquired banking, other finance, and insurance companies. By
industry, net P&E was concentrated in
manufacturing, real estate, and retail
trade. By country of foreign parent, it
was concentrated in the United Kingdom, Canada, France, Germany, the
Netherlands, and the Netherlands
Antilles.
Net sales (or gross operating revenues) of acquired U.S. business enterprises were $21.0 billion; about one-half
of the total was in manufacturing.
Acquired enterprises in wholesale trade,
retail trade, banking, and "other" industries had sales of about $2.0 billion
each. Net income was $0.7 billion, just
over 3 percent of sales. As in 1979, many
of the acquired enterprises had losses.
This reflected the fact that firms in
tional equity interest, rather than an initial interest of 10 percent or more, in the U.S. business
enterprise.

weak financial condition, with presumably depressed market values, are attractive to potential buyers who believe
that profitability can be substantially
improved after the takeover.
Acquired enterprises employed 261,000 workers in 1980, and paid employee
compensation of $4.2 billion. More than
one-half of both the employment and
compensation were in manufacturing—
mainly in nonelectrical machinery, electric and electronic equipment, and
"other." Outside manufacturing, the
largest employment was in retail trade.
Acquired enterprises owned 1,679,000
acres of land; nearly 90 percent of the
total was timberland, almost all of
which was held by the major paper
manufacturer acquired in 1980 (table
12). Land used for agriculture totaled
61,000 acres. Most of the remaining land
was used for coal mining, or "other industrial" purposes, mainly manufacturing, or was unimproved land held for
investment. Acquired enterprises also
owned about 20,000 acres of mineral
rights, and leased 390,000 acres of land
and mineral rights; both the mineral
rights owned and the land and mineral
rights leased were primarily used for

Technical Note
As shown in the table below, data for 1979
have been revised upward substantially:

By industry, revisions were concentrated
in real estate and manufacturing; by country
of foreign parent, they were concentrated in
developed countries, particularly the European Communities (9).
The revisions reflected the fact that 1979
was the first year for which BEA collected
these data, and, consequently, many reporters
were unfamiliar with reporting requirements.
Reports for many investments were filed too
late for inclusion in the preliminary data;
others were not included because the uneven
quality of initially reported data required
extra time for review and editing.
The timeliness and quality of reports on
1980 investments improved substantially,

compared with 1979, as reporters gained
awareness of reporting requirements and experience in completing the forms. (Many 1979
reporters were also required to report in 1980.
Moreover, many reports are completed by
agents of investors—e.g., legal or accounting
firms—rather than by the investors themselves. Such agents may have been responsible for reporting the investments of several
investors, and their experience with 1979 reports may have resulted in improved reporting of 1980 investments.) In addition, BEA
increased its emphasis on the timely filing
and processing of reports on large investments. As a result, revisions for 1980 are expected to be much smaller than those for 1979.

$ Composition of the money stock measures is as follows:
Ml-A.—This measure is currency plus demand deposits at commercial banks. It is essentially the same as the old M1 except that it excludes demand deposits held by foreign commercial banks and official institutions.
Ml-B.—This equals Ml-A plus interest-earning checkable deposits at all depositary
institutions—namely NOW accounts, automatic transfer from savings (ATS) accounts, and
credit union share draft balances—as well as a small amount of demand deposits at thrift
institutions that cannot, using present data sources, be separated from interest-earning checkable
deposits.
M2.—This measure adds to Ml-B overnight repurchase agreements (RP's) issued by commercial banks and certain overnight Eurodollars (those issued by Caribbean branches of
member banks) held by U.S. nonbank residents, money market mutual fund shares, and
savings and small-denomination time deposits (those issued in denominations of less than
$100,000) at all depositary institutions. Depositary institutions are commercial banks (including
U.S. agencies and branches of foreign banks, Edge Act corporations, and foreign investment
companies), mutual savings banks, savings and loan associations, and credit unions.
M3.—This measure equals M2 plus large-denomination time deposits (those issued in denominations of $100,000 or more) at all depositary institutions (including negotiable CD's) plus
term RP's issued by commercial banks and savings and loan associations.
L.—This broad measure of liquid assets equals M3 plus other liquid assets consisting of
other Eurodollar holdings of U.S. nonbank residents, bankers acceptances, commercial paper,
savings bonds, and marketable liquid Treasury obligations.
$$ Includes ATS and NOW balances at all institutions, credit union share draft balances,
and demand deposits at mutual savings banks.
# Overnight (and continuing contract) RP's are those issued by commercial banks to the
nonbank public, and overnight Eurodollars are those issued by Caribbean branches of member
banks to U.S. nonbank customers.
@ Small time deposits are those issued in amounts of less than $100,000. Large time
deposits are those issued in amounts of $100,000 or more and are net of the holdings of
domestic banks, thrift institutions, the U.S. Government, money market mutual funds, and
foreign banks and official institutions.
