the BUSINESS SITUATION

Corporate Profits
JTROFITS from current production
declined $12x/2 billion in the third
quarter after a decline of $8^2 billion in the second (table I).1 Hurricane Hugo, which ripped into the
southeastern coast of the United States
in late September, caused most of
the third-quarter decline. The payment of almost $9*/2 billion in stormrelated benefits by domestic insurance companies lowered profits of domestic financial corporations by that
amount; in addition, uninsured stormrelated corporate damages reduced
profits—mainly of domestic nonfinancial corporations—about $1^2 billion.
(The October and November "Business
Situation" described the sources used
by BEA for estimating the impact of
the hurricane, the types of property
damage included in the estimates, and
the effect of the storm on incomes other
than corporate profits.)
Domestic nonfinancial
corporations.—For domestic nonfinancial corporations, profits from current production declined $4 billion in the third
quarter after a similar decline in the
second.
(Without the $!1/2 billion
of uninsured storm damages, profits
of domestic nonfinancial corporations
would have declined about $2V2 billion.) Real product of these corporations increased in the third quarter,
but unit profits from current production declined. The decline in unit profits reflected a smaller increase in unit
prices than in unit costs; both labor
and nonlabor unit costs increased.
Profits before tax.—Profits before tax
(PBT) declined $21 billion in the third
quarter after a decline of about the
same size in the second. The current1. Quarterly estimates in the national income and
product accounts are expressed at seasonally adjusted
annual rates, and quarterly changes are differences between these rates.




production measure of profits includes
two adjustments that are not included
in PBT—namely, the inventory valuation adjustment (IVA) and the capital consumption adjustment (CCAdj);
these adjustments convert the inventories and depreciation reported by business to those used in the national income and product accounts (NIPA's).
The IVA increased $14 billion in the
third quarter, somewhat less than in
the second; the CCAdj declined $6
billion in the third quarter, somewhat more than in the second. The
third-quarter increase in the IVA—or,
equivalently, the decline in inventory
profits—resulted from a slowdown in
the rate of increase in inventory prices.
For example, the Producer Price Index, the components of which are a major source of data on inventory prices,
changed little in the third quarter after
a 5-percent increase in the second.
Profits by industry.—The currentproduction measure of profits is not
available by industry; PBT with IVA
is the best measure available. For domestic nonfinancial corporations, PBT
with IVA increased $2 billion in the
third quarter after a slight decline in

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
the second. Declining profits in manufacturing and in transportation and
public utilities were more than offset
by increasing profits in trade and in
"other" nonfinancial industries.
Chemical and electric equipment
manufacturers posted large declines
that more than accounted for the $3x/2
billion decline in manufacturing profits. For chemicals, the drop was the
third in succession; for electric equipment, which had registered a modest increase in the second quarter,
the third-quarter drop matched a large
first-quarter decline. Profits of motor
vehicle manufacturers remained negative in the third quarter, partly reflecting the cost of automobile salesincentive programs. The only substantial increase in manufacturing profits was in petroleum; the increase reflected, at least in part, sharply lower
expenditures for cleanup operations associated with the oil spill off the coast
of Alaska in March.
The third-quarter increase in trade
profits was widespread and reflected
the deceleration in inventory prices.
Both wholesale and retail trade registered increased profits, and, within
retail trade, profits of food stores,
auto dealers, and "other" retail increased substantially; only the general
merchandise category of retail trade
declined.
For domestic financial corporations,
a steep third-quarter decline was dominated by property and casualty insurance companies. Without the impact
of the hurricane on insurance companies, the third-quarter decline in financial profits would have been about $lx/2
billion (mainly reflecting reduced profits of commercial banks).
Profits from the rest of the world increased $2 billion in the third quarter. Increased receipts from foreign
subsidiaries of U.S. corporations accounted for 85 percent of the increase;
reduced payments by domestic subsidiaries of foreign corporations accounted for the remainder. Like all
NIPA profits, profits from the rest of
the world exclude capital gains and
losses. In the balance of payments
accounts (BPA's), in contrast, receipts
of income on U.S. direct investment
abroad and payments of income on foreign direct investment in the United
States include capital gains and losses.
These BPA measures are discussed
in "U.S. International Transactions,
Third Quarter 1989" in this issue; the
capital gains are shown in table 2 of
the "Reconciliation and Other Special
Tables."




NIPA Treatment of the
"Bailout" of Thrift
Institutions
The Financial Institution Reform,
Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989
(FIRREA) was enacted in August to
resolve the severe financial problems
that besieged thrift institutions during the 1980's. (Thrift, or savings, institutions are depository institutions,
such as savings and loan associations,
that traditionally specialize in financing residential real estate.) This note
briefly traces developments leading up
to the passage of the act and describes
the resulting organizational changes.
Next, it describes the treatment in
the NIPA's of the Federal agencies involved in the supervision of and provision of deposit insurance for depository institutions, with special attention to the transactions involved in the
"bailout" of the thrifts. Then, it describes a change in treatment requiring a correction that was incorporated
into the third-quarter estimates.
Background

December 1989

that were insured by the FSLIC,
these thrifts were indirectly affected.
Various States, including Texas and
California, had already given Statechartered thrifts similar, but even
broader, authority to expand the types
and extent of their investment activities. In the wake of the 1982 act, such
legislation proliferated.
At the time of the passage of these
two Federal acts, the thrift industry
faced a divergence in interest rates.
On the one hand, thrifts had to pay
high rates to savers in order to avoid
losing their deposits to competitors,
such as money market funds, that had
no regulatory limit on interest paid.
On the other hand, thrifts' interestbearing assets were concentrated in
long-term home mortgages with low,
fixed rates of interest. During 1981
and 1982, savers withdrew nearly $32
billion more than they deposited in
FSLIC-insured thrifts. This disintermediation, coupled with bad management and investment decisions, laid
the foundation for a crisis that began
in the 1982-83 recession. Reflecting
failures and mergers of solvent institutions, the number of FSLIC-insured
thrifts dropped from 4,250 at the beginning of 1980 to 3,447 at the beginning
of 1988. Of the remaining institutions,
the FSLIC identified 259 as likely to
need financial assistance to resolve
their problems and another 252 that
were considered insolvent under generally accepted accounting practices. In
mid-1988, the FSLIC estimated that
the cost of resolving these 511 insolvencies was $30.9 billion. A year later,
when Congress passed FIRREA, the
estimated cost of dealing with deposit
payouts, financial assistance, and the
interest on the funds borrowed for the
bailout ranged from $150 billion to
$160 billion.
The FIRREA dissolved the FSLIC
(and the Federal Home Loan Bank
Board; which supervised it) and replaced it with several new organizations.
In addition, the act increased the premium to be paid by
insured institutions for deposit insurance and increased the tangible capital
requirements—that is, the ratio of capital to assets—that institutions must
maintain to remain in business. The
five new organizations dealing with
thrifts and the one dealing with commercial banks are as follows:

Early in the 1980's, new Federal
and State laws—particularly two Federal laws, the Depository Institutions
Deregulation and Monetary Control
Act of 1980 and the Garn-St Germain
Depository Institutions Act of 1982—
radically altered the activities of the
thrift industry. The 1980 act phased
out many of the restrictions on interest rates paid by both federally regulated commercial banks and thrifts,
and it increased the limit on deposit
insurance from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for banks
and from the Federal Savings and
Loan Insurance Corporation (FSLIC)
for thrifts from $40,000 to $100,000
per depositor. The 1982 act eliminated
the statutory differential between ceilings on interest rates paid by commercial banks and those paid by thrifts
and accelerated the phaseout of interest rate restrictions begun by the 1980
act. The 1982 act also broadened the
investment powers for thrifts, authorizing them to make commercial, corporate, business, or agricultural loans
up to 10 percent of their assets and
to increase the percentage of their assets held in loans secured by nonresidential real estate, in consumer loans,
and in State and local government

obligations.
Fund (SAIF).—The SAIF, a separate

rectly apply to State-chartered thrifts FDIC, insures deposits up to $100,000

December 1989

per thrift depositor. The SAIF collects
premiums but will not be responsible
for any financial assistance or for any
insured deposit payouts until after August 1992.
The Resolution Trust Corporation
(RTC).—The RTC is to merge or liquidate thrifts that fail between January 1, 1989 and August 8, 1992. The
RTC, which will automatically terminate operations at the end of 1996, is
to provide all financial assistance and
make all insured deposit payouts resulting from failures prior to August
1992. The RTC also is to manage and
dispose of the assets and liabilities in
its possession. When the RTC terminates operations, all remaining assets
and liabilities will pass to the FSLIC
Resolution Fund.
The FSLIC Resolution Fund.—The
FSLIC Resolution Fund, a separate
fund under the jurisdiction of the
FDIC, is to assume and dispose of all
the assets and liabilities of the FSLIC
except those expressly transferred or
assumed by the RTC. The FSLIC Resolution Fund will be financed in part
by a share of the premiums paid by insured thrifts.
The Office of Thrift Supervision
(OTS).-The OTS, an office in the Department of the Treasury, will examine and supervise all thrifts and will
have all the regulatory powers previously vested in the Federal Home Loan
Bank Board.
The Resolution Funding Corporation.—This corporation is to sell $50
billion of 30-year bonds to finance the
initial bailout of the failed thrifts. Interest on the bonds will be paid by the
RTC and the Department of the Treasury.
The Bank Insurance Fund (BIF).—
The BIF, a separate fund under the jurisdiction of the FDIC, insures deposits
up to $100,000 per depositor at commercial banks. The BIF collects premiums and makes any necessary insured
deposit payouts.
NIPA treatment
In the NIPA's, the FDIC and the
FSLIC prior to the enactment of FIRREA and now the FDIC, the SAIF,
the RTC, the FSLIC Resolution Fund,
and the BIF are treated as government
enterprises.2 Under the enterprise
2. Government enterprises are agencies that cover a
substantial proportion of their operating costs by selling
goods and services to the public and that maintain separate accounts. For a complete discussion of the NIPA
treatment of government enterprises, see Government
Transactions, BEA Methodology Paper No. 5 (Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, 1988), 6-7.




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
treatment, the income of the agency is
considered a nonfactor charge against
GNP and is included as part of the
"current surplus of government enterprises." The current enterprise surplus of the FSLIC and the FDIC had
been calculated as the deposit insurance premiums received from insured
institutions less the agency's operating expenses. For the NIPA's, these
expenses included net payouts to depositors in failed institutions—that is,
the difference between the payment to
depositors and the proceeds from the
sale by the agency of any assets of
such institutions. These expenses excluded various types of financial assistance provided by the FSLIC or the
FDIC, such as payments to a "healthy"
institution to facilitate their acquisition of, or merging with, a failing one.
The financial assistance was treated as
an asset transfer, which is excluded
from GNP and charges against GNP
because it does not arise from current
production.
Deposit insurance premiums lowered the profits of the thrift and banking industries and increased the enterprise surplus by equal amounts.
Charges against GNP were unaffected,
and the Federal surplus was increased.

Net payouts reduced the enterprise
surplus and, because there was no offsetting entry in any other factor or nonfactor charge, reduced charges against
GNP. The Federal surplus also was reduced. Because the net payouts reduced charges against GNP but did
not affect GNP, they contributed to the
NIPA statistical discrepancy, which is
the difference between GNP and the
charges against GNP—totals that are
equal in principle but not in practice
because they are estimated independently. (More recently, there also have
been interest payments on money borrowed by the Resolution Funding Corporation to finance the bailout. Interest payments by government enterprises are treated as interest paid by
general government, not expenses of
the government enterprise. They do
not affect charges against GNP, but
they reduce the Federal surplus.)
BEA identified two problems with
its current treatment of the FSLIC
and the FDIC. The first is the statistical discrepancy to which the treatment
gives rise. The second relates to the
treatment of FSLIC and FDIC losses,
which is inconsistent in that the enterprise surplus is reduced by losses
generated by deposit payouts but not

by the losses generated by financial
assistance associated with the sale or
merger of failing institutions.
To deal with the inconsistent treatment of losses, either (a) financial assistance provided by the FSLIC or the
FDIC must be allowed to reduce the
enterprise surplus or (b) net payouts
to depositors must not be allowed to
reduce the enterprise surplus. Under
option (b), the statistical discrepancy
problem disappears; under option (a),
it is necessary to deal with the problem
by adding an offset in charges against
GNP for not only the financial assistance but also for the net payouts.
Under option (a), all losses could be
treated as charges for bad debts. The
enterprise surplus would be reduced by
these losses and an offsetting amount,
known as a defaulter's gain, would be
added to the profits of the thrift or
banking industry on the premise that
the industry, by not paying off debts
and "transferring" them to the government, gains the value of the debts.
This alternative is analogous to the




current treatment of bad debts of private businesses. This alternative was
rejected because of the anomalous effect it would have on NIPA profits and
the Federal fiscal position: Savings
and loan failures would increase profits when the failed institutions were
closed, and the losses would increase
the NIPA Federal Government deficit,
indicating increased fiscal stimulus.
BEA has decided that option (b) is
most appropriate—that all losses are
best regarded as asset transfers. Such
transfers are excluded from GNP and
charges against GNP because they do
not arise from current production. This
decision means that the net payouts
should have been excluded in measuring the enterprise surplus, as were the
various types of financial assistance
provided by the FSLIC or the FDIC.
Typically, when BEA uncovers a
problem, such as the inconsistent
treatment of the FSLIC and FDIC
losses, the correction is made at the
next annual revision, which in this
case will be in July 1990. If the correc-

December 1989

tion affects the estimates of more than
the 3-year period covered by an annual revision, the corrections to other
years would be made at the time of
the next comprehensive revision. However, because net payments to depositors may become very large before next
July, BEA has decided to introduce the
correct treatment effective with the release of the final third-quarter NIPA
estimates, which appear in this issue
of the SURVEY.
The corrections affect total Federal Government expenditures and the
current surplus of government enterprises. In the third quarter of 1989, the
correction reduced expenditures and
raised the current surplus of government enterprises $2.0 billion at a annual rate (table 2). For 1986 through
the second quarter of 1989, the corrections ranged from $0.5 billion to $4.0
billion, and they will be incorporated
in July 1990. Corrections for earlier
periods, which are very small, will be
introduced in July 1991.

1. The inventory valuation adjustment (IVA) shown in this table differs from the IVA that adjusts business
incomes. 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. This mix differs from that
underlying business income derived primarily from Internal Revenue Service statistics.

Ratio of inventories to final sales

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 quarterly rates, whereas
CBI 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.

1. Percent changes for 1986 and the first quarter of 1986 reflect discontinuities in the series.
NOTE.—The fixed-weighted price index and the chain price index, both of which are weighted averages of
the detailed prices used in the deflation of GNP, are measures of price change. In calculating changes in
these indexes, the composition of GNP is held constant. Consequently these changes reflect only changes in
prices. The fixed-weighted price index measures price change over any period, using as weights the
composition of GNP in 1982. The chain price index measures price change between two consecutive periods,

using as weights the composition of GNP in the first period. The implicit price deflator is a byproduct of the
deflation of GNP. It is derived as the ratio of current- to constant-dollar GNP (multiplied by 100). It it the
average of the detailed prices used in the deflation of GNP, but the prices are weighted by the composition
of GNP in each period. Consequently, the implicit price deflator reflects not only changes in prices but also
changes in the composition of GNP, and its use as a measure of price change should be avoided.

Errata
U.S. Affiliates of Foreign Companies
In the July 1989 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS, table 15 of the article "U.S. Affiliates of Foreign
Companies: 1987 Benchmark Survey Results" showed incorrect dollar totals for manufacturing for
total assets and sales in both 1986 and 1987. The percentage shares for total manufacturing are
also incorrect for both items in both years. The table below shows the correct totals. The data for
the subindustries within manufacturing are unchanged.

compared with a $12.1 billion increase,
and foreign official assets in the United
States increased $11.2 billion, in contrast to a decrease of $5.2 billion.
In the private capital accounts, U.S.

second quarter to the end of the third.
In the capital accounts, U.S. official
reserve assets increased $6.0 billion,

for by capital goods, which increased
$2.6 billion. Nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials decreased,
as did automotive products to Canada.
Since the first quarter of 1987, the
strongest growth in nonagricultural exports has been in consumer goods, although growth has slowed in the last
three quarters (chart 2). Growth in
capital goods has been consistently
strong, largely reflecting sharp increases in completed civilian aircraft
as foreign airlines have replaced agMBHMBiBBlBBHI

(chart 3). Exports to the newly industrialized countries in the Far East
have increased 117 percent; to Japan,
115 percent; to Mexico, 83 percent;
to Western Europe, 59 percent; and
to Canada, 26 percent. The slower
growth in exports to Canada reflected
both the recent slowdown in economic
activity there and reduced shipments
of auto parts to U.S. assembly plants
in Canada in response to lower auto
sales in the United States. (Automotive products account for one-fourth to
one-third of U.S. nonagricultural exports to Canada.)
Agricultural exports decreased $1.1
billion, or 10 percent, to $9.8 billion; volume decreased 8 percent. The
largest decreases were in corn, $0.5 billion, mostly to the Soviet Union, and
soybeans, $0.4 billion, mostly to Western Europe and Japan. However, for

the January-September period, agricultural exports were 10 percent above
the full year 1988.
Three-fourths
of the increase was to the Soviet
Union. Exports to Western Europe, especially soybeans, decreased substantially. This decrease resulted from
policies aimed at encouraging the substitution of locally grown, alternative
oilseeds for soybeans previously imported largely from the United States.
Reflecting recovery from the droughtinduced conditions of last year, the average prices of all major crops but cotton decreased throughout 1989; cotton
prices rose strongly.
Imports.—Imports increased $0.3
billion, or less than 1 percent, to
$119.3 billion.
Nonpetroleum imports increased and petroleum imports
decreased.
Nonpetroleum imports increased
$0.5 billion, or less than 1 percent, to
$106.0 billion; volume increased 2 percent. The increase was more than accounted for by consumer goods, mostly
textile apparel and household goods
from China and the newly industrialized countries in the Far East. Industrial supplies and materials decreased
as a result of a drop in nonferrous
metals.
Nonpetroleum import growth has
been stable in recent quarters, as increases in capital goods and consumer
goods have offset decreases in automotive products and industrial supplies
and materials (chart 4). The recent increases in both capital goods and consumer goods partly reflect the continued expansion in U.S. economic activity, especially in expenditures for
producers' durable equipment and personal consumption expenditures. The
decrease in automotive products reflects reductions both from Canada and
other countries. Not only have U.S.
auto sales been stagnant, but U.S.
auto plants of foreign producers have
increasingly substituted domestic production for imports of passenger cars.
By geographic area, import growth has

been strongest from Mexico and the
newly industrialized countries in the
Far East (chart 5).
Petroleum imports decreased $0.1
billion, or 1 percent, to $13.3 billion. The decrease was more than
accounted for by lower prices. The
average price per barrel decreased to
$16.85 from $18.46. The average number of barrels imported daily increased
to 8.65 million—the highest level since
the third quarter of 1977—from 7.97
million. For the January-September
period, the volume of petroleum imports was 8 percent above the full year
1988—the highest level since 1979. As
the world price dropped, imports have
increased both due to higher demand
and a decrease in domestic production
of 5 percent.
Balances by area.—The merchandise
trade deficit with the developed countries decreased to $11.7 billion in the
third quarter from $14.0 billion in the
second, mostly from a drop in imports.
Since the peak deficit of $20.4 bil-

lion in the fourth quarter of 1988, imports have been stable while exports
have grown at a slowing rate. The
deficit with the OPEC countries increased slightly to $5.1 billion in the
third quarter of 1989 and is up substantially from the fourth quarter of
1988 as a result of both higher prices
and a higher volume of petroleum imports. The deficit with other developing countries increased to $10.9 billion
in the third quarter from $8.6 billion in
the second and from $9.9 billion in the
fourth quarter of 1988; export growth
has only partly offset import growth.
Service transactions
Transactions in the service accounts
shifted to a surplus of $8.7 billion in
the third quarter from a deficit of $1.7
billion in the second. Receipts increased to $63.1 billion from $54.5 bilCHART 5

lion. The increase was in direct investment income; portfolio income decreased. Payments decreased to $54.4
billion from $56.2 billion; most of the
decrease was in portfolio income.
Direct investment income.—Receipts
of income on U.S. direct investment
abroad increased to $15.7 billion from
$7.7 billion. The increase was mostly
accounted for by a shift to capital (currency translation) gains from capital
losses, reflecting the decline in the
value of the dollar on an end-of-quarter
to end-of-quarter basis. Affiliates in
Western Europe, Japan, and Australia
accounted for much of the shift. Operating earnings rose $0.4 billion to $12.9
billion.
Payments of income on foreign direct investment in the United States
decreased to $4.2 billion from $4.7 billion. The decrease was due to a drop in
capital gains, which had boosted payments in the second quarter. Operating earnings decreased slightly to $2.1
billion.
Portfolio income.—Receipts of income on other private investment
abroad decreased to $16.4 billion from
$17.8 billion. The decrease was mostly
due to the lagged impact of lower interest rates. U.S. Government receipts
increased $0.6 billion to $1.7 billion,
due to rescheduling of interest on U.S.
Government credits and a rise in interest earned on holdings of foreign
currencies.
Payments of income on other private
investment in the United States decreased to $18.5 billion from $19.5 billion, also mostly due to lower interest rates. U.S. Government payments
were nearly unchanged at $8.5 billion.
Other services.—Travel receipts increased $0.3 billion to $8.5 billion.
Receipts from overseas, Canada, and
Mexico all increased. Travel payments
increased $0.1 billion to $8.5 billion.
Passenger fare receipts increased $0.1
billion to $2.4 billion, and passenger

26
fare payments increased $0.2 billion to
$2.2 billion.
Other transportation receipts were
unchanged at $5.2 billion. A decrease
in ocean freight receipts due to a drop
in tonnage was offset by an increase
in air freight receipts. At $5.2 billion,
other transportation payments were
also unchanged.
Receipts from foreigners for other
private services were $7.4 billion,
compared with $7.1 billion; a rise
in receipts for educational services accounted for part of the increase.Payments for other private services were $2.7 billion, compared with
$3.3 billion. Most of the decrease was
in net payments for reinsurance, that
is, premium payments less losses recovered. Losses recovered were unusually large in the third quarter because of extensive damage from Hurricane Hugo. (See "Business Situation"
in the November issue of the SURVEY OF
CURRENT BUSINESS for additional details
on insurance losses resulting from the
hurricane.)
Transfers under U.S. military agency
sales contracts increased $0.6 billion to
$2.6 billion as a result of a bunching of
aircraft deliveries to Western Europe
and Australia. U.S. direct defense expenditures abroad increased $0.1 billion to $3.6 billion.
Unilateral transfers
Net unilateral transfers were $3.7
billion, compared with $2.9 billion.
U.S. Government grants accounted for
much of the increase.
U.S. assets abroad
U.S. assets abroad increased $47.2
billion in the third quarter, in contrast
to a decrease of $0.4 billion in the second. A large swing in bank claims accounted for much of the shift.
U.S. official reserve assets.—U.S. official reserve assets increased $6.0 billion, compared with an increase of
$12.1 billion. Exchange market intervention purchases of German marks
and Japanese yen, mostly in September, contributed to an increase in foreign currency holdings. Also, U.S.
holdings of Mexican pesos increased
as part of a short-term credit arrangement with Mexico.
Claims reported by banks.—U.S.
claims on foreigners reported by U.S.
banks increased $20.7 billion, in contrast to a decrease of $27.2 billion.
Banks' own claims payable in dollars

chases of outstanding stocks, mainly
British stocks, decreased.
Net U.S. purchases of foreign bonds
were $2.1 billion, compared with $1.7
billion. New issues of foreign bonds
in the United States were $1.6 billion,
compared with $1.5 billion. New issues
have been flat since the fourth quarter
of 1988 even though U.S. long-term interest rates have dropped significantly
relative to those in many key countries.
Net purchases of outstanding foreign bonds were $1.5 billion, compared
with $1.2 billion. Higher interest rates
in the United Kingdom and Canada
than in the United States contributed
to $2.8 billion in purchases of British
bonds and $0.8 billion in purchases of
Canadian bonds. In contrast, lower interest rates than in the United States
in some other countries, particularly
in Japan, resulted in net sales of outstanding bonds (chart 6). Japan accounted for $1.6 billion of the total $2.1
billion in net sales. Redemptions of
outstanding bonds were unchanged at
$1.1 billion.
Direct investment.—Net outflows for
U.S. direct investment abroad were
$11.0 billion, compared with $5.8 billion. The increase was more than accounted for by an $8.3 billion rise in
reinvested earnings that reflected the
previously mentioned shift of $7.6 billion to capital (currency translation)
gains from capital losses. The shift reflected depreciation of the dollar from
the end of the second quarter to the
end of the third. Equity capital shifted

increased $8.3 billion, following a decrease of $13.9 billion. Four-fifths of
the increase was in claims on banks
in Japan. Much of the increase was
on own foreign offices at the end of
September and was reversed in October. Claims on banks in the Caribbean,
Australia, and Asian countries other
than Japan also increased.
Banks' own claims payable in foreign
currencies, mostly on Japan, increased
$7.9 billion, also at the end of the
quarter. These, too, were reversed in
October.
Banks' domestic customers' claims
increased $4.5 billion, in contrast to
a decrease of $3.3 billion. Most of
the increase was in dollar deposits by
U.S. money market mutual funds at
non-U.S. banks in the Caribbean and
United Kingdom. Customers' claims
also included transactions in which
U.S. banks acted as trustees for foreign
governments that raised dollar funds
in U.S. capital markets to prepay existing U.S. Foreign Military Sales credits
that carried high interest rates.
Foreign securities.—Net U.S. purchases of foreign securities were $10.1
billion, compared with $5.7 billion. Net
U.S. purchases of foreign stocks nearly
doubled to $8.1 billion. Over one-half
of the third-quarter purchases was due
to the issuance of foreign stocks in the
United States in exchange for stocks in

Foreign assets in the United States
increased $72.5 billion in the third
quarter, in contrast to a decrease of

Large
swings in bank liabilities and in foreign official assets in the United States

the United States remained strong.

December 1989

Foreign official assets.—Foreign official assets in the United States increased $11.2 billion, compared with a
decrease of $5.2 billion (table B). Assets of industrial countries increased
$6.3 billion, compared with a decrease
of $7.2 billion. Increases in August
were partly offset by intervention sales
of dollars in September. Assets of
OPEC members increased $3.8 billion, compared with a $0.4 billion increase. Assets of other countries increased $1.2 billion, compared with a
$1.6 billion increase.
Liabilities reported by banks.—U.S.
liabilities reported by U.S. banks, excluding U.S. Treasury securities, increased $25.7 billion, in contrast to a
decrease of $21.4 billion.Banks' own liabilities payable in dollars increased
$19.2 billion, in contrast to a decrease
of $17.2 billion. Four-fifths of the increase was in U.S.-owned banks' liabilities to their own foreign offices; a
large part of these transactions was associated with end-of-quarter flows that
were reversed in October. Foreignowned banks drew partly on overseas
funds to finance a limited increase in
their domestic (U.S.) loans. In addition, they also had end-of-quarter flows
that were reversed in October.
Banks' liabilities payable in foreign
currencies increased $4.1 billion, in
contrast to a decrease of $7.8 billion.
Most of the increase was in liabilities to Japan and Caribbean banking
centers.
U.S. Treasury securities.—Net foreign purchases of U.S. Treasury securities were a record $13.0 billion, compared with $2.3 billion. Purchases
of marketable bonds and notes were
$11.8 billion, compared with $3.2 billion. Most of the increase was in purchases by the United Kingdom.
Other U.S. securities.—Net foreign
purchases of U.S. securities other than
U.S. Treasury securities were $11.1
billion, compared with $9.7 billion.
Foreigners purchased $4.8 billion in
U.S. stocks, compared with $3.5 billion. Foreign purchases were bolstered
by a significant advance in U.S. stock
prices, particularly in July and August. For the quarter, U.S. stock prices
rose 7 percent despite a sharp drop
in September. British net purchases
were $2.1 billion, compared with $1.1
billion; they accounted for most of the
step-up. Japanese net purchases remained strong at $1.6 billion, compared with $1.9 billion, partly reflect-

ing the continued internationalization
of Japanese investment portfolios.
New bond issues abroad by U.S. corporations were $3.9 billion, compared
with $5.6 billion. Issues denominated
in dollars more than accounted for
the decline; for the first time, they
were exceeded by issues denominated
in foreign currencies.Net purchases of
agency and other outstanding bonds
were $2.4 billion, compared with $0.6
billion.
Direct investment.—Net inflows for
foreign direct investment in the United
States were $11.4 billion, compared
with $13.3 billion. The decrease was
more than accounted for by a drop
in intercompany debt inflows. Equity capital inflows increased and reinvested earnings decreased slightly.
Intercompany debt inflows were $0.8
billion, compared with $3.6 billion.
The decrease reflected a step-up in
lending (outflows) by U.S. finance companies of foreign banks to their parents
or to other foreign affiliates and wholesale trade affiliates by prepayments
(outflows) for merchandise purchased
from their foreign parents. Partly
offsetting these outflows were inflows
consisting of loans from abroad for the
acquisition of U.S. businesses. The
largest inflow was for the acquisition
of a major U.S. tire manufacturer by
a company in Western Europe. Reinvested earnings decreased $0.1 billion,
to $1.7 billion, as a result of a drop in
capital gains.
Equity capital inflows were $9.0 billion, compared with $7.8 billion. Over

one-half of the third-quarter inflows
was the result of the previously mentioned acquisition of a U.S. pharmaceutical company by a British company.

Reconciliation of United States-Canadian
current-account statistics

Reconciliation of the 1988 bilateral
current-account statistics of the United
States and Canada and revisions of
the 1987 current-account reconciliation were completed in November 1989
(table P). United States and Canadian statistics were fully reconciled for
1987. Full reconciliation of the statistics for 1988 was not possible; differences in investment income transactions could not be satisfactorily resolved, partly because some estimates
are still on a preliminary basis.
Revisions in the U.S. international
transactions estimates based on the
reconciliation will be incorporated in
the published estimates in June 1990
as far as possible. Full substitution of
the reconciled estimates for the previously published estimates is not possible because of methodological and statistical differences and differences in
presentation. Also, transactions with
other areas would be affected.
Current-account reconciliations for
the years 1970-86 appear in the
June 1975, September 1976, September 1977, December 1979, June 1981,
and December 1981-88 issues of the

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

December 1989

Footnotes to U.S. International Transactions Tables 1-10
P Preliminary.

General notes for all tables:
*Less than $500,000 (±)
n.a. Not available.

Table 1:
1. Credits, +: Exports of goods and services; unilateral transfers to United States; capital
inflows (increase in foreign assets (U.S. liabilities) or decrease in U.S. assets); decrease in U.S.
official reserve assets; increase in foreign official assets in the United States.
Debits, -: Imports of goods and services; unilateral transfers to foreigners; capital outflows
(decrease in foreign assets (U.S. liabilities) or increase in U.S. assets); increase in U.S. official
reserve assets; decrease in foreign offical assets in the United States.
2. Excludes transfers of goods and services under U.S. military grant programs (see line 15).
3. Excludes exports of goods under U.S. military agency sales contracts identified in Census
export documents, excludes imports of goods under direct defense expenditures identified in Census
import documents, and reflects various other adjustments (for valuation, coverage, and timing) of
Census statistics to balance of payments basis; see table 2.
4. Includes some goods: Mainly military equipment in line 4; major equipment, other materials,
supplies, and petroleum products purchased abroad by U.S. military agencies in line 19; and fuels
purchased by airline and steamship operators in lines 7 and 22.
5. Beginning in 1982, line 8 and line 23 are redefined to include only net receipts and payments
for the use or sale of intangible property rights. Other services are reclassified to lines 9 and 24.
6. Affiliated and unaffifiated transactions, previously shown separately, have been combined.
7. For all areas, amounts outstanding September 30,1989, were as follows in millions of dollars:
Line 36,68,418; line 37,11,065; line 38, 9,487; line 39, 8,786; line 40, 39,080. Data are preliminary.
8. Includes sales of foreign obligations to foreigners.
9. Consists of bills, certificates, marketable bonds and notes, and nonmarketable convertible
and nonconvertible bonds and notes.
10. Consists of U.S. Treasury and Export-Import Bank obligations, not included elsewhere, and
of debt securities of U.S. Government corporations and agencies.
11. Includes, primarily, U.S. Government liabilities associated with military agency sales contracts and other transactions arranged with or through foreign official agencies; see table 4.
12. Consists of investments in U.S. corporate stocks and in debt securities of private corporations
and State and local governments.
13. Conceptually, the sum of lines 70 and 64 is equal to "net foreign investment" in the national
income and product accounts (NIPA's). However, the foreign transactions account in the NIPA's
(a) includes adjustments to the international transactions accounts for the treatment of gold, (b)
excludes capital gains and losses of foreign affiliates of U.S. parent companies from the NIPA's measure of income receipts from direct investment abroad, and from the corresponding income payments
on direct investment in the United States, (c) includes an adjustment for the different geographical
treatment of transactions with U.S. territories and Puerto Rico, and (d) includes services furnished
without payment by financial intermediaries, except life insurance carriers and private noninsured
pension plans. In addition, for NIPA purposes, U.S. Government interest payments to foreigners
are excluded from "net exports of goods and services" but included with transfers in "net foreign
investment." A reconciliation of the balance on goods and services from the international accounts
and the NIPA net exports appears in the "Reconciliation and Other Special Tables" section in this
issue of the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS. A reconciliation of the other foreign transactions in the
two sets of accounts appears in table 4.5 of the full set of NIPA tables (published annually in the
July issue of the SURVEY).
Table 2:
1. Exports, Census basis, represent transaction values, f.a.s. U.S. port of exportation; imports,
Census basis, represent Customs values (see Technical Notes, June 1982 SURVEY). Both unadjusted
and seasonally adjusted data have been prepared by BEA from "actual" and "revised statistical"
month data supplied by the Census Bureau (see Technical Notes, December 1985 SURVEY). The seasonally adjusted data are the sum of seasonally adjusted five-digit end-use categories (see Technical
Notes in the June 1980 SURVEY and in the June 1988 SURVEY).
2. Adjustments in lines A5 and A13, B12, B47, and B82 reflect the Census Bureau's reconciliation of discrepancies between the merchandise trade statistics published by the United States and
the counterpart statistics published in Canada. These adjustments are distributed to the affected
end-use categories in section C. Beginning in 1986, estimates for undocumented exports to Canada,
the largest item in the U.S.-Canadian reconciliation, are included in Census basis data shown in
line A-l.
3. Exports of military equipment under U.S. military agency sales contracts with foreign governments (line A6), and direct imports by the Department of Defense and the Coast Guard (line
A14), to the extent such trade is identifiable from Customs declarations. The exports are included
in tables 1 and 10, line 4 (transfers voider U.S. military agency sales contracts); the imports are
included in tables 1 and 10, line 19 (direct defense expenditures).
4. Addition of electrical energy; deduction of exposed motion picture film for rental rather than
sale; net change in stock of U.S.-owned grains in storage in Canada; coverage adjustments for
special situations in which shipments were omitted from Census data; deduction of the value of
repairs and alterations to foreign-owned equipment shipped to the United States for repair; and
the inclusion of fish exported outside of U.S. customs area.
5. Deduction of foreign charges for repair of U.S. vessels abroad, which are included in tables
1 and 10, line 21 (other transportation); coverage adjustments for special situations in which shipments were omitted from Census data; and the deduction of the value of repairs and alterations to
U.S.-owned equipment shipped abroad for repair.
6. Beginning in 1986, New Zealand and South Africa are included in "Other countries in Asia
and Africa," with New Zealand included as part of "Asia" and South Africa as part of "Africa."
7. Annual and unadjusted quarterly data shown in this table correspond to country and area
data in table 10, lines 2 and 17. Trade with international organizations includes purchases of
nonmonetary gold from the International Monetary Fund, transfers of tin to the International Tin
Council (ITC), and sales of satellites to Intelsat. The memoranda are defined as follows: Industrial
countries: Western Europe, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa; Members
of OPEC: Venezuela, Ecuador, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Algeria, Libya, Nigeria, and Gabon; Other countries: Eastern Europe, Latin America and
Other Western Hemisphere, and other countries in Asia and Africa, less OPEC. Before 1984, complete geographic area detail was not available for some balance of payments adjustments. Therefore,
the detail shown does not always sum to the values shown for the area aggregates. For all years,
"Asia" and "Africa" exclude certain Pacific Islands and unidentified countries included in "Other
countries in Asia and Africa."
8. Includes nuclear fuel materials and fuels.
Table 3:
1. Insurance receipts (exports) are published net of losses paid, and payments (imports) are
published net of losses recovered.
2. Other unaffiliated services receipts (exports) include mainly expenditures of foreign governments and international organizations in the United States. Payments (imports) include mainly
wages of foreign residents temporarily employed in the United States and Canadian and Mexican
commuters in U.S. border areas.
Table 4:
1. Expenditures to release foreign governments from their contractual liabilities to pay for
military goods and services purchased through military sales contracts—first authorized (for Israel) under Public Law 93-199, section 4, and subsequently authorized (for many recipients) under
similar legislation—are included in line A3. Deliveries against these military sales contracts are




included in line CIO; see footnote 2. Of the line A3 items, part of these military expenditures is
applied in lines A40 and A43 to reduce short-term assets previously recorded in lines A38 and C8;
this application of funds is excluded from lines C3 and C4. A second part of line A3 expenditures
finances future deliveries under military sales contracts for the recipient countries and is applied
directly to lines A39 and C9. A third part of line A3, disbursed directly to finance purchases by
recipient countries from commercial suppliers in the United States, is included in line A34. A
fourth part of line A3, representing dollars paid to the recipient countries to finance purchases
from countries other than the United States, is included in line A45.
2. Transactions under military sales contracts are those in which the Department of Defense
sells and transfers military goods and services to a foreign purchaser, on a cash or credit basis.
Purchases by foreigners directly from commercial suppliers are not included as transactions under
military sales contracts. The entries for the several categories of transactions related to military
sales contracts in this and other tables are partly estimated from incomplete data.
3. The identification of transactions involving direct dollar outflows from the United States is
made in reports by each operating agency.
4. Line A35 includes foreign currency collected as interest and line A40 includes foreign currency
collected as principal, as recorded in lines A13 and A14, respectively.
5. Includes (a) advance payments to the Department of Defense (on military sales contracts)
financed by loans extended to foreigners by U.S. Government agencies and (b) the contraentry
for the part of line CIO that was delivered without prepayment by the foreign purchaser. Also
includes expenditures of appropriations available to release foreign purchasers from liability to
make repayment.
6. Includes purchases of loans from U.S. banks and exporters and payments by the U.S. Government under commercial export credit and investment guarantee programs.
