60 U.S. International Transactions, Revised Estimates for 1982-98
In this year's annual revision of the balance of payments accounts, the structure of the accounts is modified in order to improve the presentation of the
different types of international transactions and to bring the accounts into
closer alignment with international guidelines. As a result, U.S. international
transactions are now classified into three groups—the current account, the capital account, and the financial account. Several major improvements to the
estimates are also introduced, including improved measures of income receipts
and improved seasonal adjustment of exports of goods. The revised estimate
of the U.S. current-account deficit for 1998 is -$220.6 billion, compared with
the previously published estimate of -$233.4 billion.

l\egular features
1

Business Situation
Real GDP increased 4.3 percent in the first quarter of 1999, according to the
NIPA 'final" estimate; the "preliminary" estimate issued last month had shown
a 4.1-percent increase. Corporate profits increased $47.1 billion (or 5.7 percent
at a quarterly rate) in thefirstquarter after decreasing $5.3 billion (0.6 percent)
in the fourth.

U.S. Multinational Companies: Operations in 1997
The operations of U.S. multinational companies (MNC'S) continued to grow
at a strong pace in 1997: Worldwide gross product of U.S. parent companies
and their majority-owned foreign affiliates increased 5.6 percent, employment
increased 6.1 percent, and capital expenditures increased 13.7 percent. The
strong growth in MNC operations reflected continued economic growth and a
strong upturn in new investments.

36 The International Investment Position of the United States at
Yearend 1998
The net international investment position of the United States became more
negative in 1998: On a current-cost basis, it was -$1,239.2 billion, compared
with -$968.2 billion in 1997; and on a market-value basis, it was -$1,537.5
billion, compared with -$1,066.3 billion in 1997. The net position on both
bases became more negative mainly as a result of large net financial inflows
and strong price appreciation in foreign-owned assets in the United States that
reflected a steep rise in U.S. stock prices.

Direct Investment Positions for 1998: Country and Industry Detail
In 1998, the U.S. direct investment position abroad valued at historical cost
increased 13 percent, reflecting record capital outflows—mainly equity capital
and reinvested earnings. By country, the largest increases were with the United
Kingdom and the Netherlands. The foreign direct investment position in the
United States valued at historical cost increased 17 percent, reflecting record
capital inflows that were boosted by two exceptionally large transactions involving acquisitions of U.S. firms. By country, the largest increases were with
Germany and the United Kingdom.

75 U.S. International Transactions, First Quarter 1999
The U.S. current-account deficit increased $6.9 billion, to $68.6 billion, in the
first quarter of 1999, as a large increase in the deficit on goods more than offset
a small increase in the surplus on services, a small decrease in the deficit on
income, and a decrease in net unilateral current transfers. In the financial
account, net recorded inflows slowed to $84.1 billion from $99.2 billion, as a
sharp slowdown in inflows for foreign-owned assets in the United States more
than offset a shift from outflows to inflows for transactions in U.S.-owned
assets abroad.

SITUATION

EAL GROSS domestic product (GDP) increased 4.3 percent in the first quarter of
1999, according to the "final" estimates of the
national income and product accounts (NIPA'S)
(table 1 and chart 1).1 The slowdown from a 6.0percent increase in the fourth quarter of 1998
reflected a downturn in exports.
The largest contributors to the first-quarter increase in real GDP were consumer spending and
private fixed investment (table 2). The increase
1. Quarterly estimates in the NIPA'S are expressed at seasonally adjusted
annual rates. Quarter-to-quarter dollar changes are the differences between
the published estimates. Quarter-to-quarter percent changes are annualized
and are calculated from unrounded data unless otherwise specified.
Real estimates are calculated using a chain-type Fisher formula with annual weights for all years and quarters except those in the most recent year,
which are calculated using quarterly weights; real estimates are expressed both
as index numbers (1992=100) and as chained (1992) dollars. Price indexes
(1992=100) are also calculated using a chain-type Fisher formula.

NOTE.—Chained (1992) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 1992 current-dollar
value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity indexes uses weights of more
than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates usually are not additive. Chained (1992) dollar levels and residuals,
which measure the extent of nonadditivity in each table, are in NIPA tables 1.2, 1.4, and 1.6. Percent changes are calculated from
unrounded data. Percent changes in major aggregates are in NIPA table 8.1. (See "Selected NIPA Tables," which begins on page

1. Based on chained-type annual (1992) weights.
NOTE.—The final estimates for the first quarter of 1999 incorporate the following revised or additional major source data that
were not available when the preliminary estimates were prepared.
Personal consumption expenditures: Revised retail sales for March.
Nonresidential fixed investment: Revised construction put in place for February and March and revised manufacturers' shipments
of machinery and equipment for March.
Residential fixed investment: Revised construction put in place for February and March.
Change in business inventories: Revised manufacturing and trade for March.
Exports and imports of goods and services: Revised exports and imports of goods and services for October 1998 through March
1999 and revised seasonal factors.
Government consumption expenditures and gross investment: Revised State and local construction put in place for February and
March.
Wages and salaries: Revised employment, average hourly earnings, and average weekly hours for October 1998 through March
1999 and revised seasonal factors.
GDP prices: Revised export and import prices for January through March, revised values and quantities of petroleum imports
for March, and revised prices of single-family homes under construction for the first quarter.
The revised source data for exports and imports of goods and services and for wages and salaries reflect annual revisions to
the balance of payments accounts and to the Bureau of Labor Statistics establishment survey data, respectively. These data have
been incorporated into the NIPA estimates on a "best-change" basis beginning with January 1999. The levels of the revised source
data will be incorporated at the time of the next comprehensive revision of the NIPA's, which is scheduled for release at the end
of October.
^




without regard to sign—from the preliminary
estimate to the final estimate is 0.3 percentage
point. The upward revision to real GDP was more
than accounted for by an upward revision to exports and a downward revision to imports. The
revisions to exports and imports reflect the incorporation (on a "best-change" basis) of source
data from the annual revision of the balance
of payments accounts; see "U.S. International
Transactions, Revised Estimates for 1982-1998" in
this issue.3
Real gross domestic purchases increased 6.6
percent, the same as the preliminary estimate;
in the fourth quarter, this measure increased
5.4 percent.4 Real final sales of domestic product increased 4.6 percent, 0.3 percentage point
more than the preliminary estimate; in the fourth
quarter, it increased 6.6 percent.5
The price index for gross domestic purchases
increased 1.2 percent, 0.1 percentage point more
than the preliminary estimate; in the fourth quarter, the index increased 0.9 percent. The revision
was more than accounted for by an upward revision to energy prices. The price index for GDP
increased 1.6 percent, also 0.1 percentage point
more than the preliminary estimate; in the fourth
quarter, the index increased 0.8 percent. In the
first quarter, the price index for gross domestic
purchases increased less than the price index for
GDP because import prices decreased more than
export prices.6
Real disposable personal income (DPI) increased 3.5 percent, 0.8 percentage point less than
the preliminary estimate. Current-dollar DPI increased 4.8 percent, 0.6 percentage point less than
the preliminary estimate. The downward revision
to DPI was primarily accounted for by an upward
revision to personal tax and nontax payments
that reflected the incorporation of newly available
data on Federal income tax collections from the
Monthly Treasury Statement and updated projections of tax collections from the Department of
Treasury. (The updated projections were used
3. The final NIPA estimates of exports and imports in the first quarter
incorporate the quarterly change implied by the revised balance of payments
estimates. The quarterly levels of the revised balance of payments estimates
will be incorporated at the time of the next comprehensive revision of the
NIPA'S, which is scheduled for release at the end of October.
4. Gross domestic purchases—a measure of purchases by U.S. residents
regardless of where the purchased goods and services were produced—is calculated as GDP less exports of goods and services plus imports of goods
and services; it may also be calculated as the sum of personal consumption expenditures, private fixed investment, and government consumption
expenditures and gross investment.
5. Final sales of domestic product is calculated as GDP less change in
business inventories.
6. Import prices are included in gross domestic purchases prices but not
in GDP prices, and export prices are included in GDP prices but not in gross
domestic purchases prices.

to derive new 1999 estimates of certain components of nonwithheld taxes; these estimates
were then distributed evenly over the year, which
resulted in an upward revision to first-quarter
taxes.) Personal income was revised down only
slightly.
The personal saving rate-personal saving as
a percentage of current-dollar DPi-decreased to
negative 0.7 percent, 0.1 percentage point lower
than the preliminary estimate. The first-quarter
rate was the first negative rate since the quarterly series began in 1946; in the fourth quarter,
the rate was 0.0 percent. (For additional information, see "Note on the Personal Saving
Rate" in the February 1999 SURVEY OF CURRENT

quarter, command-basis GNP and real GNP increased at the same rate- 6.3 percent—reflecting
little change in the terms of trade.
Corporate Profits
According to revised estimates, profits from current production increased $47.1 billion (or 5.7
percent at a quarterly rate) in the first quarter after decreasing $5.3 billion (0.6 percent) in
the fourth quarter (table 5).9 Profits of domestic
nonfinancial corporations increased $29.0 billion
(4.9 percent) after decreasing $12.7 billion (2.1
percent); the increase reflected an increase in
profits per unit and an increase in real product. The increase in profits per unit, in turn,
mainly reflected a decrease in unit costs. Profits
of domestic financial corporations increased $13.4
billion (10.3 percent) after increasing $0.6 billion
(0.5 percent). Profits from the rest of the world
increased $4.6 billion (4.7 percent) after increasing $6.9 billion (7.6 percent); the first-quarter

BUSINESS.)

Gross national product(GNp).—In the first quarter, real GNP—goods and services produced by
labor and property supplied by U.S. residents—
increased 4.4 percent, 0.1 percentage point more
than real GDP (chart 1 and table 4 ) / Receipts
of factor income from the rest of the world increased more than payments of factor income;
both increases were more than accounted for by
corporate profits.
Real GNP on a command basis, which measures the goods and services produced by the U.S.
economy in terms of their purchasing power,
increased more than real GNP—4.7 percent, compared with 4.4 percent—reflecting an improvement in the terms of trade.8 In the fourth

The terms of trade is a measure of the relationship between the prices
that are received by U.S. producers for exports of goods and services and the
prices that are paid by U.S. purchasers for imports of goods and services. It
is measured by the following ratio, with the decimal point shifted two places
to the right: In the numerator, the IPD for the sum of exports of goods and
services and of receipts of factor income; in the denominator, the IPD for the
sum of imports of goods and services and of payments of factor income.
Changes in the terms of trade reflect the interaction of several factors,
including movements in exchange rates, changes in the composition of the
traded goods and services, and changes in producers' profit margins. For
example, if the U.S. dollar depreciates against a foreign currency, a foreign
manufacturer may choose to absorb this cost by reducing the profit margin
on the product it sells to the United States, or it may choose to raise the
price of the product and risk a loss in market share.
9. Profits from current production is estimated as the sum of profits
before tax, the inventory valuation adjustment, and the capital consumption
adjustment; it is shown in NIPA tables 1.9,1.14,1.16, and 6.16c (see "Selected
NIPA Tables," which begins on page D-2 of this issue) as corporate profits
with inventory valuation and capital consumption adjustments.
Percent changes in profits are shown at quarterly, not annual, rates.

7. GNP equals GDP plus receipts of factor income from the rest of the
world less payments of factor income to the rest of the world.
8. In the estimation of command-basis GNP, the current-dollar value of
the sum of exports of goods and services and of receipts of factor income is
deflated by the implicit price deflator (IPD) for the sum of imports of goods
and services and of payments of factor income.

increase was more than accounted for by receipts
of earnings from foreign affiliates.10
The revised estimate of profits from current
production is $15.3 billion higher than the preliminary estimate. Profits of domestic nonfinancial
corporations were revised up $9.3 billion, and
profits of domestic financial corporations were
revised up $4.3 billion. Profits from the rest of
the world were revised up $1.6 billion; an upward
revision to receipts was larger than an upward
revision to payments.
Cash flow from current production, a profitsrelated measure of internally generated funds
available for investment, increased $34.7 billion
after increasing $4.9 billion.11 The ratio of cash
flow to nonresidential fixed investment, an indicator of the share of the current level of
investment that could be financed by internally

generated funds, increased to 87.1 percent from
84.9 percent, but it remained below its average
level of 91.9 percent in 1991-97.
Domestic industry profits and related measures.—
Domestic industry profits increased $38.1billion
in the first quarter after decreasing $17.5 billion
in the fourth.12 Profits of domestic nonfinancial
corporations increased $24.9 billion after decreasing $17.3 billion; the upturn partly reflected the
pattern of payments by tobacco companies to
States under the terms of various settlement
agreements. To account for these payments,
profits were reduced $13.5 billion (annual rate) in
the fourth quarter and $0.9 billion in the first.
(For more information, see the box "State Tobacco Settlements" on page 12 of the April 1999
SURVEY.)

By industry, the largest contribution to the upturn in domestic nonfinancial corporate profits
was made by food and kindred products, which
increased $10.9 billion after decreasing $14.5 bil-

10. Profits from the rest of the world is calculated as (1) receipts by U.S.
residents of earnings from their foreign affiliates plus dividends received by
U.S. residents from unaffiliated foreign corporations minus (2) payments by
U.S. affiliates of earnings to their foreign parents plus dividends paid by U.S.
corporations to unaffiliated foreign residents. These estimates include capital
consumption adjustments (but not inventory valuation adjustments) and are
derived from BEA'S international transactions accounts.
11. Cash flow from current production is undistributed profits with inventory valuation and capital consumption adjustments plus the consumption
of fixed capital.

12. Domestic industry profits are estimated as the sum of corporate profits
before tax and the inventory valuation adjustment; they are shown in NIPA
table 6.16c (on page D-16 of this issue). Estimates of the capital consumption
adjustment do not exist at a detailed industry level; they are available only
for total financial and total nonfinancial industries.

lion. Smaller upturns were posted by wholesale
and retail trade and by the transportation and
public utilities group, which includes communications. These upturns were partly offset by
downturns in the industrial machinery, electronic
equipment, and "other" durable goods industries.
Profits of domestic financial corporations increased $13.2 billion after decreasing $0.2 billion.
The largest contribution to the upturn was made
by commercial banks.
Profits before tax (PBT) increased $44.5 billion after decreasing $12.4 billion. The difference
between the $44.5 billion increase in PBT and
the $47.1 billion increase in profits from current
production reflected changes in the inventory
valuation adjustment that were partly offset by
changes in the capital consumption adjustment.
The inventory valuation adjustment removes inventory profits and losses from business income;




in the first quarter, inventory losses decreased $1.8
billion.13 The capital consumption adjustment
converts depreciation that is valued at historical
cost and based on service lives and depreciation
patterns specified in the tax code to depreciation
that is valued at replacement cost and based on
empirical evidence on the prices of used equipment and structures in resale markets; in the
first quarter, the capital consumption adjustment
increased $4.4 billion.14 Q
13. As prices change, companies that value inventory withdrawals at original acquisition (historical) costs may realize inventory profits or losses.
Inventory profits—a capital-gains-like element in profits—result from an increase in inventory prices, and inventory losses—a capital-loss-like element
in profits—result from a decrease in inventory prices. In the NIPA'S, inventory profits or losses are removed from business incomes by the inventory
valuation adjustment (IVA); a negative IVA removes inventory profits, and a
positive IVA removes inventory losses.
14. For information on depreciation in the NIPA'S, see Arnold J. Katz and
Shelby W. Herman, "Improved Estimates of Fixed Reproducible Tangible
Wealth, 1929-95," SURVEY 77 (May 1997): 69-92.

3. Prior to 1981, inventories and sales of auto and home supply stores are included in motor vehicle dealers.
Beginning with 1981, these inventories are included in "other durable goods."
NOTES.—Manufacturing inventories are classified by the type of product produced by the establishment holding
the inventory. Trade inventories are classified by the type of product sold by the establishment holding the inventory.
Chained (1992) dollar inventory series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the
average of the end-of-year fixed-weighted inventories for 1991 and 1992, divided by 100. Because the formula for
the chain-type quantity indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates
are usually not additive.

NOTES.—Manufacturing inventories are classified by the type of product produced by the establishment holding

Chained (1992) dollar inventory series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the
average of the end-of-year fixed-weighted inventories for 1991 and 1992, divided by 100. Because the formula for

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

July 1999

U.S. Multinational Companies:
Operations in 1997
By Raymond J. Mataloni, Jr.

HE COMBINED domestic and foreign operations of nonbank U.S. multinational companies (MNC'S) continued to grow at a strong pace in
1997, according to preliminary estimates from the
annual survey of U.S. direct investment abroad
conducted by the Bureau of Economic Analysis
(BEA).1 Current-dollar estimates of the worldwide

T

1. The year 1989 is used for comparison because it was a benchmark
survey year for U.S. direct investment abroad and because before 1994, gross
product estimates (which are the basis for much of the analysis in this article) were only available for U.S. parents in the years covered by benchmark
surveys. In addition, in 1989, like in 1997, economic growth continued in the
United States and in most major host countries.

gross product of U.S. MNC'S (U.S. parents and
majority-owned foreign affiliates (MOFA'S) combined) increased 5.6 percent in 1997, compared
with an 8.1-percent increase in 1996 and an average annual increase of 5.5 percent from 1989 to
1996 (table 1).
Two other key measures of MNC operations grew much faster in 1997 than in 198996.
MNC employment increased 6.1 percent,
This article presents highlights from the 1996 and 1997 annual surveys.
More detailed estimates will be available later this year (see the box "Data
Availability" on page 15).

Key Terms
The following key terms are used to describe U.S. multinational
companies (MNC'S) and their operations. For a comprehensive
discussion of the terms and the concepts used, see Raymond J.
Mataloni, Jr., "A Guide to BEA Statistics on U.S. Multinational
Companies," SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS 75 (March 1995): 38-55.
U.S. MNC'S

U.S. multinational company. The U.S. parent and its foreign
affiliates.
U.S. parent. A person, resident in the United States, who owns
or controls 10 percent or more of the voting securities, or the equivalent, of a foreign business enterprise. "Person" is broadly defined
to include any individual, branch, partnership, associated group, association, estate, trust, corporation or other organization (whether
organized or not under the laws of any State), or any government
entity. If incorporated, the U.S. parent is the fully consolidated
U.S. enterprise consisting of (1) the U.S. corporation whose voting securities are not owned more than 50 percent by another U.S.
corporation and (2) proceeding down each ownership chain from
that U.S. corporation, any U.S. corporation (including Foreign Sales
Corporations located within the United States) whose voting securities are more than 50 percent owned by the U.S. corporation above
it. A U.S. parent comprises the domestic operations of a U.S. MNC,
covering operations in the 50 States, the District of Colombia, the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and all other U.S. areas.
U.S. direct investment abroad (USDIA). The ownership or control,
directly or indirectly, by one U.S. resident of 10 percent or more of
the voting securities of an incorporated foreign business enterprise
or the equivalent interest in an unincorporated business enterprise.
Foreign affiliate. A foreign business enterprise in which there is
U.S. direct investment, that is, in which a U.S. person owns or
controls (directly or indirectly) 10 percent or more of the voting
securities or the equivalent. Foreign affiliates comprise the foreign
operations of a U.S. MNC over which the parent is presumed to have
a degree of managerial influence.
Majority-owned foreign affiliate (MOFA). A foreign affiliate in which
the combined ownership of all U.S. parents exceeds 50 percent.
MOFA'S comprise the foreign operations of a U.S. MNC that are
controlled by the parent or parents.
Operations of U.S. MNC'S

Gross product. The contribution to host-country gross domestic
product, which is the goods and services produced by labor and




property located in that country. Gross product, often referred to
as "value added," can be measured as gross output (sales or receipts
and other operating income plus inventory change) minus intermediate inputs (purchased goods and services). Alternatively, it can be
measured as the sum of the costs incurred (except for intermediate
inputs) and the profits earned in production. The gross product
estimates presented here were prepared by summing cost and profit
data collected in the annual and benchmark surveys of USDIA. For
the derivation of the current-dollar estimates of gross product, see
Raymond J. Mataloni, Jr., and Lee Goldberg, "Gross Product of U.S.
Multinational Companies, 1977-91," SURVEY 74 (February 1994): 57.
Profit-type return. Profits from the production of goods and services in the current period. It is measured before income taxes, and
it excludes nonoperating items (such as special charges and capital
gains and losses) and income from equity investments.
Capital expenditures. Expenditures made to acquire, add to, or
improve property, plant, and equipment (PP&E). PP&E includes land,
timber, mineral and like-rights owned, structures, machinery, equipment, special tools, and other depreciable property; construction
in progress; and tangible and intangible exploration and development costs. Changes in PP&E due to changes in entity—such as
mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures—or to changes in accounting principles are excluded. Capital expenditures are measured on a
gross basis; sales and other dispositions of fixed assets are not netted
against them.
Employment. The number of full-time and part-time employees
on the payroll at yearend. If a parent or affiliates* employment was
unusually high or low because of temporary factors (for example, a
strike) or large seasonal variations, the number that reflected normal
operations or an average for the year was requested.
Origin of output. In this article, this term refers to the decomposition of a firm's output (sales plus inventory change) into the output
that originates within the firm and the output that originates elsewhere and that is incorporated in the intermediate inputs purchased
by the firm. The intermediate inputs can also be decomposed into
those that are purchased locally and those that are purchased from
abroad.
Source of change in gross product. In this article, this term refers to
the decomposition of the year-to-year change in the gross product of
U.S. parents and MOFA'S into changes in operations, the addition of
parents and MOFA'S to the survey universe, the departure of parents
and MOFA'S from the survey universe, and all other changes.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Additional highlights of U.S.-MNC operations
in 1997 follow:
• Worldwide production and productive resources of U.S. MNC'S remained concentrated
in the United States: U.S. parents accounted
for about three-fourths, and MOFA'S for about
one-fourth, of MNC gross product, capital expenditures, and employment. These shares
have been relatively stable since at least 1989.
• U.S. exports of goods involving U.S. parents,
their foreign affiliates, or both accounted for
63 percent of all U.S. exports of goods, down
from 65 percent in 1989. Intra-MNC exports
(goods shipped by U.S. parents to their foreign affiliates) accounted for 42 percent of the
MNC-associated exports, up from 38 percent
in 1989.
• U.S. MNC'S accounted for 40 percent of U.S.
imports of goods, down from 42 percent
in 1989. Intra-MNC imports (goods shipped
by foreign affiliates to their U.S. parents)
accounted for 42 percent of these MNC-

associated imports, up from 38 percent in
1989.

• Newly acquired or established foreign affiliates continued to be concentrated in countries with large and prosperous markets
rather than in countries with low labor costs.
Although low-wage countries have been attracting a rising share of the new investments, affiliates in high-wage countries still
accounted for 71 percent of all new affiliates
and for 59 percent of their employment.
• The return on assets for nonfinancial MOFA'S,
at 10.8 percent, continued to exceed the
return on assets for all nonfinancial corporations (chart 1). The higher rate of return
for MOFA'S may be needed to offset the added
risks and costs to U.S. parents of operating
abroad.
• Real gross product of MOFA'S in manufacturing grew more than twice as fast in 1997
(7.7 percent) as in 1989-96 (3.5 percent).
The strong growth reflected both the economic growth in most host countries and

Data on U.S. Direct Investment Abroad
BEA collects two broad sets of data on U.S. direct investment abroad (USDIA): (1) Financial and operating
data of U.S. parent companies and their foreign affiliates, and (2) balance of payments and direct investment
position data.1 This article presents the first set of data;
the balance of payments and direct investment position
data appear in the following articles in this issue of the
SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS: Russell B. Scholl, "The

International Investment Position of the United States in
1998"; Douglas B. Weinberg, "U.S. International Transactions, First Quarter 1999"; and Rosaria Troia and Sylvia
E. Bargas, "Direct Investment Positions for 1998: Country and Industry Detail."
BEA data on USDIA are classified by International
Surveys Industry groups adapted from the Standard
Industrial Classification (sic) Manual, 1987—the classification system used, until recently, as the standard for
industry classification in Federal economic statistics. The
sic system has been superceded by the 1997 North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS). BEA has
developed new ISI codes that are based on the NAICS, and
for USDIA, these new codes will be first used for the data
collected in the 1999 benchmark survey.
Financial and operating data.—The data on the overall
operations of U.S. parent companies and their foreign
1. For a comprehensive discussion of these two sets of data, see Raymond J. Mataloni, Jr., "A Guide to BEA Statistics on U.S. Multinational
Companies," SURVEY 75 (March 1995): 38-55. This guide is available on

Articles.

affiliates are collected in BEA'S annual and benchmark surveys of USDIA. The data cover balance sheets
and income statements, employment and compensation
of employees, research and development expenditures,
sources of finance, and trade in goods. In addition,
the gross product of U.S. parent companies and their
majority-owned foreign affiliates is estimated from the
data reported in these surveys.
Except in benchmark survey years, these data cover
only nonbank U.S. multinational companies (MNC'S) because U.S; MNC'S in banking (1987 Standard Industrial
Classifications 6011, 602, 602, 606, 6712, and 608) are
exempt from reporting. All the financial and operating
data are on afiscalyear basis. The data cover the entire
operations of U.S. parent companies and their foreign
affiliates, irrespective of the percentage of U.S.-parent
ownership.
Balance of payments and direct investment position
data.—These data, covering bank and nonbank U.S.
MNC'S, are collected in the quarterly survey of USDIA.
The data cover the cross-border transactions and positions between U.S. parents and their foreign affiliates,
so these data focus on the parent's share, or interest,
in the affiliate rather than on the affiliate's size or scale
of operations. The major items included in the U.S.
balance of payments are direct investment capital flows,
direct investment income, royalties and license fees, and
other services transactions between U.S. parents and their
foreign affiliates.

the addition of newly acquired or established
affiliates.
Revisions to the 1996 estimates.—The estimates
of U.S.-MNC operations for 1996 were revised
to incorporate the final results of the 1996 Annual Survey of U.S. Direct Investment Abroad.3
The year-to-year percent changes for the three
key measures were revised less than 1 percentage
point from the changes shown in the preliminary estimates: The increase in gross product was
revised up 0.8 percentage point to 8.1 percent;
the increase in employment was revised down
0.2 percentage point to 1.6 percent; and the increase in capital expenditures was revised up 0.2
percentage point to 5.3 percent.
Organization of the article.—The first part of
this article analyzes the worldwide operations of
U.S. MNC'S; the second part analyzes their domestic (U.S.-parent) operations; and the third
part analyzes their foreign (foreign-affiliate)
operations.
3. The preliminary 1996 estimates were published in Raymond J. Mataloni, Jr., "U.S. Multinational Companies: Operations in 1996," SURVEY OF
CURRENT BUSINESS 78 (September 1998): 47-73.

Worldwide Operations of U.S. MNC'S
This section examines worldwide U.S.-MNC operations and compares the domestic and foreign
aspects of these operations.4
Changes in gross product
Gross product of all U.S. MNC'S grew 5.6 percent in 1997, to $2,090 billion; the U.S.-parent
component of U.S.-MNC gross product grew 6.1
percent, and the MOFA component grew 4.2 percent. Available evidence suggests that for both
parents and MOFA'S, these increases reflected increases in real gross product to a greater extent
than they reflected increases in prices. The
growth of U.S. parents' gross product, at 6.1 percent, substantially exceeded the 1.4-percent rate
of U.S. price inflation (as measured by the GDP
implicit price deflator for all private U.S. businesses, except depository institutions). Despite
the dampening effect of the significant appreciation of the U.S. dollar, the gross product of
MOFA'S grew 4.2 percent in dollar value, exceeding the 2.8-percent average rate of price inflation
in the host countries.5
4. In most of this section, the examination of the foreign operations of
U.S. MNC'S uses the data for MOFA'S rather than data for all foreign affiliates,
because parents and MOFA'S are conceptually under U.S. managerial control
(other foreign affiliates may be under the control of foreign owners) and
because the necessary data items for this analysis are collected only for MOFA'S.
Although MOFA'S and U.S. parents are under the control of one or more
U.S. parents, in some cases the U.S. parent is, in turn, under the control of a
foreign parent company; in 1997, U.S. parents that were ultimately controlled
by foreign parents accounted for 11 percent of all U.S. parents and for 8
percent of their gross product.
5. In 1997, the weighted average U.S.-dollar price of the currencies of
23 major host countries (in terms of MOFA gross product) fell 7.8 percent.
This decline lowered the dollar value of MOFA gross product by a similar
amount when the data reported to BEA in dollars was translated from foreign
currencies as was generally necessary.
The average rate of price inflation in these host countries was derived as
a weighted average (in terms of MOFA gross product), using, in most cases,
the GDP implicit price deflators for the countries.

Domestic and foreign shares of MNC operations

July 1999 •

23 percent to 25 percent, and the MOFA share of
MNC employment rose from 21 percent to 25 percent (table 2). In contrast, the MOFA share of
worldwide MNC profit-type return fell from 34
percent to 31 percent, probably in response to
cyclical factors here and abroad that were relatively less favorable to MOFA'S in 1997 than in
1989.
By industry, the most significant shift towards
foreign operations was in manufacturing: The
MOFA share of MNC gross product rose from 26
percent in 1989 to 29 percent in 1997; the MOFA

Worldwide production and the productive resources of U.S. MNC'S remained concentrated in
the United States: In 1997, U.S. parents accounted
for about three-fourths of MNC gross product,
capital expenditures, and employment and for
over two-thirds of MNC profit-type return. From
1989 to 1997, however, the distribution of gross
product and employment shifted slightly from
the United States to abroad: The MOFA share
of worldwide MNC gross product edged up from

share of MNC capital expenditures rose from 26
percent to 30 percent; and the MOFA share of MNC
employment rose from 27 percent to 33 percent.
Production abroad by U.S. MNC'S may have
been stimulated by new market opportunities and
improved business conditions abroad, such as
the further integration of the European Union,
the end of hyperinflation in Brazil and Argentina, and the economic liberalizations in
Eastern Europe.
Origin of output
The output of U.S. MNC'S (sales to unaffiliated
customers plus inventory change) consists of both
the gross product that originates within the MNC'S
themselves and the gross product that originates
elsewhere and is incorporated in the intermediate inputs purchased by MNC'S from unaffiliated
suppliers. The gross product originating in U.S.
MNC'S consists of the gross product of both the
U.S. parents and their foreign affiliates.
The origins of U.S.-MNC output in 1997 were
essentially unchanged from 1989: The share of
the output of U.S. MNC'S that originated within
the MNC'S edged down from 36 percent to 34
percent (table 3, column 8). Underlying this stability were offsetting changes by industry. For
example, in industrial machinery and equipment,
the share of output originating within MNC'S
decreased from 46 percent to 36 percent.
The share of MNC output that was accounted
for by U.S.-parent gross product edged down
from 28 percent to 26 percent. The share accounted for by MOFA gross product edged up
from 8 percent to 9 percent.
U.S.-MNC-associated trade in goods
In 1997, U.S.-MNC-associated trade—U.S. trade
involving U.S. parents, their foreign affiliates, or
both—accounted for 63 percent of all U.S. exports of goods and for 40 percent of all U.S.
imports of goods (table 4 and chart 2).6 U.S.
MNC'S accounted for a larger share of exports than
of imports, partly reflecting the intrafirm sourcing patterns of MNC'S; parents tend to be a much
more important source of supply to their affiliates
than the affiliates are to their parents.
6. MNc-associated trade accounts for an even larger share of U.S. trade
in goods if U.S. businesses owned by foreign MNC'S are included. In 1996—
the latest year for which data are available—U.S. affiliates of foreign MNC'S
accounted for 22 percent of U.S. exports of goods and 32 percent of U.S.
imports of goods. As noted in footnote 4, however, these U.S. affiliate shares
overlap the U.S.-MNC shares because some U.S. parents belong to both groups.
In 1997, trade by U.S. parents that were also U.S. affiliates of foreign companies
accounted for 13 percent of MNC-associated exports and 26 percent of MNCassociated imports. (See the addenda to table 4.)

Of the $434 billion in U.S.-MNC-associated
exports in 1997, 42 percent represented trade
between U.S. parents and their foreign affiliates—
intra-MNC trade—and 58 percent represented
U.S.-MNC trade with others.
Data on trade
by broad product category from the most recent benchmark survey of U.S. direct investment
abroad, covering 1994, indicate that most of the
intra-MNC exports consist of machinery (57 percent of total intra-MNC exports in 1994), chemicals (13 percent), and road vehicles and parts (12
percent).7 Of the $251 billion in MNC trade with
7. In the 1994 benchmark survey, exports and imports of U.S. parents and
majority-owned foreign affiliates were desegregated into 12 product categories
on the basis of the Standard International Trade Classification, Revision 2,
United Nations Statistical Papers, sen M, no. 34 (New York: United Nations,
1975).

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

• July 1999

1994 benchmark survey indicate that U.S. parents' imports from foreigners other than their
foreign affiliates consist mainly of machinery (35
percent in 1994), petroleum and coal products (15
percent) and "other" manufactures (15 percent)
and that U.S. imports shipped by foreign affiliates to unaffiliated U.S. persons consist mainly of
petroleum (27 percent), other manufactures (19
percent), and machinery (18 percent).
U.S. Parents' Operations
This section examines the following selected aspects of the domestic (U.S.-parent) operations
of U.S. MNC'S: The change in U.S.-parent gross
product by industry and by source of change
in 1996-97; the U.S.-parent share of private GDP
in 1989 and 1997; and the origin of U.S.-parent
output in 1989 and 1997.

decreases were particularly sharp in food and in
industrial machinery.
The increase in wholesale trade primarily reflected increased sales to meet strong demand.
This increase and the decrease in manufacturing also reflected the reclassification of some U.S.
parent companies from manufacturing to wholesale trade.9 The increase in "other" industries was
concentrated in electric, gas, and sanitary services
and in retail trade, mainly reflecting the entry
of U.S. companies that acquired or established
their first foreign affiliate in 1997. The increase
in finance (except depository institutions), insurance, and real estate primarily reflected increased
revenues as a result of favorable financial market
conditions. The increase in services mainly reflected the entry of new parent companies, but
it also reflected increased sales to meet strong
demand for new products, such as enhanced
computer software.

Changes in gross product
The gross product of all U.S. parents increased
6.1 percent in 1997, to $1,570 billion, compared
with an average annual increase of 5.1 percent in
1989-96 (table 5).
By industry.—In 1997, U.S.-parent gross product increased most rapidly in wholesale trade
(23.6 percent), in "other" industries (15.4 percent), in finance (except depository institutions),
insurance, and real estate (14.0 percent), and in
services (12.0 percent).8 U.S.-parent gross product decreased in manufacturing industries; the
8. "Other" industries consists of agriculture, forestry, and fishing; mining; construction; transportation; communication; electric, gas, and sanitary
services; and retail trade.

9. Each U.S. parent is classified in the industry that accounts for the
largest portion of its sales or, for holding companies, its total income. Many
U.S. parents are involved in a variety of business activities; changes in the
mix of these activities can cause a parent's industry classification to change,
but redassifications due to minor or temporary shifts in industry mix are
avoided. A parent is redassified by industry only if the change in the primary
activity from the prior year is significant or if the change has occurred for 2
successive years.
The change of a parent company's industry from manufacturing to wholesale trade is related to the percentage of that parent's output originating
within the parent itself. Parents classified in manufacturing are primarily
engaged in the transformation of materials or substances into new products,
and parents classified in wholesale trade are engaged in selling merchandise
produced by others to businesses.

By source of change.—In 1997, the gross product of
U.S. parents increased $89.9 billion; $53.4 billion
of this increase was attributable to changes in the
operations of U.S. companies that were parents
in both 1996 and 1997 (table 6). Even so, the
$22.3 billion that was attributable to the entry
of new parent companies was much stronger in
1997 than in 1995 or 1996 and largely reflected the

provide the basis for direct investment in other
industries.
Although the overall U.S.-parent share of the
gross product of private U.S. businesses was
stable from 1989 to 1997, there were offsetting
changes among industries: The U.S.-parent share
in manufacturing decreased from 63 percent to
60 percent; the share in services increased from
6 percent to 8 percent; and the share in all other
industries combined increased from 16 percent to
19 percent.
The increase in services partly reflects the entry
of new U.S. parent companies. These additions
have been widespread across service industries,
but they have been pronounced in computer and
data processing services, motion pictures, and
management and public relations services.

U.S.-parent shares of private GDP
The gross product of U.S. parents accounted for
26 percent of the gross product of all private U.S.
businesses in 1997, the same as in 1989 and in 1996
(table 7).10 The U.S.-parent share was highest in
manufacturing, partly reflecting the firm-specific
advantages (such as superior production or marketing techniques) of U.S. manufacturers that
allow them to overcome the additional costs
entailed in producing in foreign markets.
The U.S.-parent share in services remained low.
U.S. direct investment in some service industries may be inhibited by the structure of the
industries in some host countries. For example,
U.S. direct investment in health care services is
constrained or precluded in countries where the
government plays a prominent role in the delivery of health care. In addition, some service
industries that are characterized by small-scale
production (such as dry cleaners and hair stylists)
may lack the firm-specific advantages that often

Origin of output
The output of U.S. parents consists of both the
gross product that originates within the parents
themselves and the gross product that originates
elsewhere and is incorporated in the intermediate inputs purchased by parents from foreign
affiliates and from unaffiliated suppliers.
In 1997, gross product originating in U.S. parents accounted for 32 percent of parent output,
compared with 33 percent in 1989 (table 8, column 11). The industries with the highest shares
were services, "other" industries (mainly communication and electric and gas utilities), and
"other" manufacturing (mainly instruments and
related products). The share in services is high
partly because the production of services tends to
be labor-intensive and is not as easily outsourced
as the production of goods. The high share in

10. Generally, at the all-industries level, the estimates of U.S.-parent gross
product are conceptually consistent with the estimates of gross product for all
U.S. businesses in the national income and product accounts. However, for
individual industries, inconsistencies may result from differences in the basis
for the industrial distribution of the estimates. The industrial distributions of
gross product for all U.S. businesses are based on data collected from establishments, which are classified by the principal product or service produced at
each establishment, whereas the industrial distributions of U.S.-parent gross
product are based on data collected from enterprises (companies), which are
classified by the principal product or service produced by all of their establishments combined. Because the establishments of large companies usually
are classified in several industries, the distributions of data by industry of
establishment can differ significantly from those by industry of enterprise. In
this article, U.S.-parent gross product as a share of the gross product for all
private U.S. businesses is computed only at the highly aggregated level shown
in table 7.

1. For improved comparability with U.S.-parent gross product, gross product of all private U.S.
businesses was adjusted to remove categories not applicable to nonbank U.S. parents—such as
gross product of depository institutions. In addition, housing product of owner-occupied farm housing (part of farm product) and nonfarm housing product (part of real estate product) were removed
because U.S. parents are not involved in these activities. Business transfer payments were also
removed because few U.S. parents are in industries that receive most of the business transfer
„ payments in the United States.
NOTE.—In this table, petroleum is not shown as a separate major industry. Instead, in order
to be consistent with the all-U.S. data on gross product originating by industry, U.S. parent gross
product in the various petroleum subindustries is distributed among the other major industries.

Thus, manufacturing includes petroleum and coal products; "all other industries" includes petroleum wholesale trade, gasoline service stations, petroleum tanker operations, pipelines, and storage; and services includes oil and gas field services. A significant portion of U.S.-parent gross
product in petroleum and coal products is accounted for by integrated petroleum companies that
have, in addition to their manufacturing activities, significant petroleum extraction activities; because the extraction activities cannot be identified separately in the U.S.-parent data, and to improve comparability between the estimates for U.S. parents and those for all U.S. businesses,
they are included in manufacturing. For consistency, gross product estimates for the "oil and gas
extraction without refining" industry are also included in manufacturing rather than in "all other
industries," which includes mining.

communications and in electric and gas utilities partly reflects industry regulations that have
historically granted exclusive production and distribution rights to a few large companies. The
high share in instruments and related products
may partly reflect the proprietary knowledge that
is embodied in these products and that firms may
protect by internalizing production.

In manufacturing, the origin of U.S.-parent
output shifted away from internal production,
as the share of U.S.-parent output that was accounted for by their own gross product decreased
from 38 percent to 34 percent; the shift was
pronounced for parents in industrial machinery,
particularly in computers and components, and
in electric equipment, particularly in consumer

electronics. In these industries, the movement
to unaffiliated suppliers was partly in response
to increased global competition; to improve their
competitiveness, parents specialized in areas in
which they had an advantage and relied on unaffiliated suppliers for other inputs or finished
products.
In petroleum, the origin of U.S.-parent output
shifted slightly toward internal production. The
share of U.S.-parent output that was accounted
for by the parents' gross product edged up from
28 percent to 30 percent.
The share of U.S. parents' output that was
accounted for by local (U.S.) content—U.S.parent gross product and purchases from U.S.
suppliers—was 93 percent in 1997, compared with
94 percent in 1989. The industries with the highest U.S. content were services (100 percent) and
food and kindred products (98 percent).11 The
high share in services partly reflects the tendency
towards internal production. The share in food
and kindred products is high partly because the
United States is a major agricultural producer,
so most of the inputs are available locally at
competitive prices.
In wholesale trade, the local-content share of
the output of U.S. parents edged up from 85
percent to 87 parent. (In this industry, local
content consists primarily of purchases from do-

Foreign Affiliates' Operations
This section examines selected aspects of the foreign (foreign-affiliate) operations of U.S. MNC'S.
First, the 1996-97 change in employment by
all affiliates is examined, and the patterns of
newly acquired or established affiliates in 1997
are presented. The remainder of the section focuses on selected aspects of the operations of
majority-owned foreign affiliates (MOFA'S).
All affiliates
The broadest measures of the foreign operations
of U.S. MNC'S cover all affiliates, regardless of
the degree of U.S. ownership. The discussion of
all-affiliate operations uses data on employment
because estimates of gross product are available
only for MOFA'S.
The total employment of nonbank foreign affiliates increased 6.3 percent to 8.0 million in 1997,
compared with an average annual increase of 1.9
percent in 1989-96 (table 9). The unusually large
increase reflected both new investments and the
expansion of existing operations in industries—
such as personnel supply services, computer component assembly, and telephone utilities—that
typically employ many workers.

11. The local content of U.S.-parent output is overstated to the extent that
domestic purchases include the services imported by the parents themselves
and the imported goods and services that are embodied in parents' purchases
from domestic suppliers. (These items were not reported separately and thus
could not be identified and included in foreign content.)

2. The distinction between "high-wage" countries and "low-wage" countries is based on estimates of average hourly wages of production workers of majority-owned foreign affiliates (MOFA's)
in manufacturing; the estimates were derived from data collected in the 1994 benchmark survey
of U.S. direct investment abroad. To ensure the significance of the data underlying this distinction,

the analysis is restricted to host countries in which employment by manufacturing MOFA's totalled

firm-spetific advantages that must be preserved
by strict control of operations.12
In all but 20 host countries, more than threefourths of all affiliates are majority owned. Saudi
Arabia, at 43 percent, and Israel, at 56 percent,
are among the countries that had a relatively low
percentage of MO FA'S in 1997. In some countries, laws constrain, or have constrained, the
level of foreign ownership of domestic businesses
or have assessed lower taxes on, or provided other
benefits to, businesses that have majority local
ownership.
In India, the percentage of MOFA'S was relatively
low, at 58 percent, in 1997, but it was up substantially from 22 percent in 1989. The rapid rise in
the MOFA share partly reflected the Indian Government's New Industrial Policy, adopted in 1991,
which significantly liberalized the country's foreign direct investment policy. One change raised
the maximum permitted foreign ownership of
newly acquired or established Indian businesses
to 51 percent in most sectors. Despite these
changes, the share of the Indian economy accounted for by production by MOFA'S remained

July 1999

relatively low in 1997. (For details, see the section
"MOFA share of host-country GDP.")
Changes in gross product—The gross product of
MOFA'S increased 4.2 percent in 1997, to $519.3
billion, compared with an average annual increase of 6.5 percent in 1989-96 (table 11). The
slowdown was primarily accounted for by affiliates in Europe and in Asia and Pacific, and it
mainly reflected a substantial decline in the U.S.dollar price of foreign currencies. In contrast,
MOFA gross product in Latin America and Other
Western Hemisphere, Canada, and Africa grew
faster in 1997 than in 1989-96. The increase in
Latin America and Other Western Hemisphere
was strong enough to overcome the dampening effect of the significant appreciation of the
U.S. dollar against the two primary currencies
in the region—the Brazilian real and the Mexican peso; the increase was widespread across
industries, reflecting robust economic conditions
in the host countries and the addition of newly
acquired or established MOFA'S. In Canada,
the increase was concentrated in transportation
equipment manufacturing and largely reflected
increased production to meet strong demand in
the United States. In Africa, the increase was
concentrated in manufacturing and mainly reflected newly established affiliates in South Africa.
In Eastern Europe, affiliate operations continued to grow rapidly, but they remained quite
small; MOFA gross product in this area increased

12. According to this theory, these advantages, such as superior production or marketing techniques, are necessary so that MNC'S can overcome the
various barriers to investing abroad, such as foreign languages and unfamiliar
business environments.
For a discussion of this theory, see Stephen H. Hymer, The International
Operations of National Firms (Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 1976). For a recent
appraisal of the theory, see John H. Dunning and Alan M. Rugman, "The
Influence of Hymer's Dissertation on the Theory of Foreign Direct Investment" in The Theory of Multinational Enterprise^ vol. 1 (Cheltenham, United
Kingdom: Edward Elgar Publishing, 1996).

26.7 percent, to $3.9 billion, but the level was only
1 percent as large as that in Western Europe.
By industry, affiliates in services and manufacturing accounted for most of the increase in MOFA
gross product.
In 1997, $14.3 billion of the $21.0 billion increase in MOFA gross product was attributable to
changes in existing operations (table 12). The entry of new MOFA'S contributed $7.0 billion, up
significantly from 1996.
share of host-country GDP.—In 1997, the
gross product of MOFA'S accounted for 7 percent
or more of the gross domestic product (GDP) of
four of the host countries shown in table 13: Ireland (17 percent), Singapore (9 percent), Canada
(9 percent), and the United Kingdom (7 percent).
The relatively high MOFA shares of host-country
GDP in these countries can be traced to some
of the following factors: A common language
with the United States, marketing and commercial legal systems similar to those in the United
States, geographic proximity to the United States,
the availability of a skilled work force, political
stability, and low corporate tax rates.
The MOFA share of host-country GDP was less
than 1 percent in four of the host countries shown
in table 13: India, China, the Republic of Korea, and Japan. The low shares in most of
these countries partly reflect past or present barriers to investment, including limits on foreign
ownership.
MOFA

Origin of output—The output of MOFA'S consists of both the gross product that originates
in the MOFA'S themselves and the gross product
that originates elsewhere and that is incorporated in intermediate inputs purchased by MOFA'S

parts of their consolidated operations. BEA permits survey respondents to consolidate affiliate
operations that are in the same country if the affiliates are also in the same industry or are
integral parts of a single business operation.

from reporting in earlier years and MOFA's that were required to report in earlier years but
did not.

from U.S. parents, other foreign affiliates, or from
unaffiliated suppliers.
In 1997, gross product originating in MOFA'S
accounted for 26 percent of MOFA output, compared with 31 percent in 1989 (tables 14 and 15,
column 12). The industries with the highest
shares of MOFA gross product were "other" manufacturing (mainly tobacco products), services,
and petroleum. The high MOFA share in tobacco products partly reflects the fact that these
products have relatively few material components
that could be outsourced. Like the U.S.-parent

* Less than 0.05 percent.
1. A share could not be calculated for this country for 1989, because dollar-denominated estimate of host-country GDP was incompatible with dollar-denominated estimate of MOFA gross
product. Because the economy of the host country was experiencing hyperinflation in 1989, most
MOFA operating there translated their financial statements from host-country currency to dollars
daily, following U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These daily translations, which are
used to derive the dollar-denominated estimate of MOFA gross product, are not comparable the
annual average exchange rate that is used to derive the dollar-denominated estimate of hostcountry GDP.
2. On October 3, 1990, the former German Democratic Republic became of the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG). Accordingly, the 1989 data shown in this table pertain to the FRG
before unification and the post-1990 data pertain to the FRG after unification.
NOTE.—The countries are sorted in descending order of their 1997 values. Where two countries have the same 1997 value in the table, they were sorted using unrounded values. Host
country GDP data for all countries except Hong Kong are from the International Monetary Fund,
International Financial Statistics, April 1999 Edition (Washington, DC: International Monetary
Fund, 1999). Data for Hong Kong are from the Web site for the Census and Statistics Department of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

share, the MOFA share in services is high partly
because the production of services tends to be
labor-intensive and is not as easily outsourced as
the production of goods. The share in petroleum
is high partly because the large fixed capital costs
that must be incurred to reach a profitable scale
of operation allows a small number of highly
integrated companies to dominate production.
The shift to unaffiliated suppliers from 1989
to 1997 was widespread across geographic areas.
It was also widespread across industries, but it
was most pronounced in manufacturing, MOFA'S
in some industries probably sought to decrease
their reliance on internal production in order to
meet rising global competition by specializing in
areas in which they had an advantage and by rely-

ing on unaffiliated suppliers for other inputs and
finished products.
The U.S. content of MOFA output was 11 percent in 1997, compared with 10 percent in 1989.
The geographic areas with the highest U.S. content were Canada and Latin America and Other
Western Hemisphere, particularly in Mexico. In
Canada and Mexico, the high U.S. content mainly
reflects these countries' proximity to, and strong
economic ties with, the United States.
In Canada, the U.S. content of MOFA output
increased from 22 percent in 1989 to 27 percent in
1997; this increase was widespread across manufacturing industries and may have been related to
the initial implementation of the Canada-United
States Free Trade Agreement in 1989 and the
North American Free Trade Agreement in 1994.

than on market exchange rates, and they provide more meaningful comparisons across time
because they are in chained dollars.

In Latin America and Other Western Hemisphere, the U.S. content of MOFA output rose
from 13 percent to 16 percent, partly as a result
of currency-related valuation changes.13
Real gross product of MOFA'S in manufacturing.—
Changes in the current-dollar measures of MOFA
operations can sometimes be difficult to interpret because they can be strongly influenced
by changes in prices and exchange rates. (The
effects of exchange-rate changes that are unrelated to the relative prices of goods and services
in various countries can be especially problematic.) To overcome these limitations, BEA recently
began producing estimates of real gross product for MOFA'S.14 These new estimates provide
more meaningful comparisons of gross product across countries because they are based on
purchasing-power-parity exchange rates rather

13. The dollar-denominated measures of the operations of affiliates in
the two largest economies in the area—Mexico and Brazil—were affected by
changes in the host-countries' currencies. From 1989 to 1997, the Mexican
peso lost over two-thirds of its value against the U.S. dollar, and Brazil introduced a new currency, the real. The effects of these changes cannot be
precisely measured; however, a devaluation of host-country currency generally depresses the U.S.-dollar value of affiliate sales, but it has no direct effect
on the dollar value of U.S. exports to affiliates, so that, all else equal, the
U.S.-content share of affiliate output is raised.
The effect on U.S. content may be mitigated to the extent that, after a
devaluation, MOFA'S substitute locally purchased goods for more expensive
U.S. goods. However, it is unlikely that such substitution is significant, at
least in the short run, because locally produced substitutes are not usually
readily available.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

The real gross product of MOFA'S in manufacturing grew more than twice as fast in 1997 (7.7
percent) as in 1989-96 (3.5 percent) (table 16).15
The faster growth partly reflected the faster
growth in industrial production in most host
countries. The real gross product of manufacturing MOFA'S in the 19 member countries of the
Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and
Development grew faster (6.5 percent) in 1997
than total industrial production partly because
of the entry of new MOFA'S (chart 3). Industrial
production in these countries grew 4.6 percent in
1997, compared with 1.1 percent in 1996.
15. The real gross product grew much faster (8 percent) than the currentdollar gross product (2 percent) in 1997. The slower growth in the currentdollar gross product reflected the dampening effect of the appreciation of the
U.S. dollar. (See also footnote 5.)

The $15.1 billion increase in the real gross product of MOFA'S in manufacturing in 1997 was
concentrated in Canada (up $2.7 billion), Ireland
(up $2.6 billion), and Germany (up $2.2 billion).
In Canada and Germany, the increases primarily
reflected rising production of motor vehicles to
meet strong demand; in Germany, the acquisition
of new affiliates that manufacture automobile
components also contributed. In Ireland, the increase primarily reflected the rising production of
new, higher value pharmaceuticals to meet strong
demand, mainly in other European countries.
The real gross product of manufacturing
MOFA'S in the United Kingdom decreased sharply
($4.2 billion), partly because of the sale of a few
large MOFA'S.

The International Investment Position
of the United States at Yearend 1998

HE NET international investment position
of the United States—U.S.-owned assets
abroad less foreign-owned assets in the United
States—at yearend 1998 was a negative $1,239.2
billion with direct investment valued at the current cost of tangible assets, and it was a negative
$1,537.5 billion with direct investment valued
at the current market value of owners' equity
(table A, chart 1).1 For both measures, the net
positions were more negative in 1998 than they
were in 1997. The net foreign ownership of assets in the United States remains a small, but
increasing, share of the total financial wealth of
all U.S. households—4.2 percent at yearend 1998,
up from 3.2 percent at yearend 1997.
The net position on both bases became more
negative mainly as a result of large net financial
inflows and strong price appreciation in foreignowned assets in the United States (table B). This
appreciation, which reflected the steep rise in
U.S. stock market prices from yearend 1997 to

yearend 1998, greatly increased the value of foreign holdings of U.S. stocks and of owner's equity
of foreign direct investment in the United States.
U.S.-owned assets abroad also increased as the

result of financial outflows and price appreciation, but the increase, which was mostly limited
to U.S.-owned European stocks, was significantly
smaller than that in foreign-owned assets in the
United States. The net exchange rate adjustment
principally reflected the effect on U.S.-owned foreign stocks of the appreciation of European and
some Asian currencies against the U.S. dollar in
1998; this appreciation was partly offset by the
depreciation of Canadian and Latin American
currencies.
In 1998, U.S. assets abroad in a few categories
increased strongly as a result of large net financial
outflows and of price and exchange rate appreciation. U.S. direct investment abroad on both
valuation bases increased as a result of record
net outflows that were bolstered by heavy acquisitions in certain countries. At market value,
the increase was augmented by a large increase
in owner's equity as a result of the steep rise in
European stock prices. U.S. holdings of foreign
stocks increased as a result of rising European
stock prices, appreciation of European currencies, and strong net U.S. purchases, mostly in the
first half of the year. U.S. purchases near yearend
were bolstered by two exceptionally large acquisitions of U.S. companies through exchanges of
stock with U.S. shareholders.2 U.S. holdings of
foreign bonds were restrained by heightened risk
aversion in the second half of the year, as markets
reacted to Russia's debt moratorium and Brazil's

Investment Positions for 1998: Country and Industry Detail" in this issue.

financial problems. In this more cautious environment, U.S. purchases were mainly new bond
issues of highly rated foreign borrowers. U.S.
banks' and nonbanking concerns' claims on foreigners increased considerably less in 1998 than in
1997, reflecting slower economic growth in many
industrial countries and financial and economic
problems in many emerging countries.
Foreign assets in the United States increased
as a result of sizable net private financial inflows and continued large price appreciation in
foreign holdings of U.S. stocks. Record inflows into U.S. corporate securities and foreign
direct investment were attracted by sustained
U.S. economic growth, low and stable inflation,
long-term interest-rate differentials favoring dollar assets, and rising asset prices. In particular,
foreign holdings of U.S. corporate bonds advanced as a result of record net foreign purchases
and rising U.S. bond prices; concurrently, foreign investors shifted away from U.S. Treasury
bonds as their yields declined to low levels. Taking advantage of this strong demand and shift
in preferences, U.S. corporate borrowers, especially U.S. federally sponsored agencies, issued
near record amounts of new bonds abroad. Foreign holdings of U.S. stocks increased as a result
of both large price appreciation and strong net
purchases, mainly in the first half of the year.
Foreign direct investment in the United States
on both valuation bases increased as a result of
record financial inflows, including the two exceptionally large acquisitions through exchanges

Improvements in the Estimates
As is customary each July, the estimates of the U.S. international investment position incorporate new source
data and methodological improvements that relate to
the changes incorporated in the annual revision of the
U.S. international transactions accounts. This year, the
following major changes are introduced.
The estimates of U.S. portfolio holdings of foreign
securities for 1994-98 are revised, reflecting the incorporation of newly available preliminary results of the U.S.
Treasury Department's and the Federal Reserve System's
Benchmark Survey of U.S. Portfolio Investment Abroad.
This survey covered U.S. ownership of outstanding foreign long-term securities as of December 31, 1997. This
survey was a followup to a similar survey of U.S. portfolio investment abroad as of March 1994. The 1997 survey
was conducted by the United States as part of an initiative coordinated by the International Monetary Fund
in which 29 participating countries surveyed their residents' portfolio investment abroad. (The new position
data also enable BEA to develop improved estimates of




the associated flows of interest and dividend income receipts, which were incorporated into BEA'S international
transactions accounts released in June 1999).
Estimates of the positions of U.S. direct investment
abroad and of foreign direct investment in the United
States on the current-cost basis have been revised back to
1976 to incorporate improved estimates of the currentcost adjustment.
These improvements include the
introduction of geometric depreciation, an improved
treatment of transfers of equipment and structures by direct investment affiliates, newly available equipment and
structures price indexes, and newly available data for capital investment, depreciation, depletion, and expensed
exploration and development costs by direct investment
affiliates. (These improvements also affect income and
financial flows in BEA'S revised international transactions
accounts released in June 1999.)
For additional information about these changes, see
"U.S. International Transactions, Revised Estimates for
1982-98" in this issue.

of stock with U.S. shareholders. Even excluding
these acquisitions, direct investment inflows were
still strong, reflecting other acquisition activity
and strong business conditions in the United
States. The market value of foreign direct investment was further augmented by the sharp rise
in U.S. stock prices. U.S. liabilities to foreigners
reported by U.S. banks and nonbanking concerns increased much less in 1998 than in 1997, a
record year; banks slowed their short-term funding from abroad, and foreigners reduced their
U.S. deposits. In addition, international bond
funds withdrew funds from U.S. securities dealers to meet the liquidity needs associated with
capital market uncertainties in the second half of
the year.
This article presents the major changes in U.S.
assets abroad and in foreign assets in the United
States, including direct investment valued both at
current cost and at market value, in 1998. Tables
1, 2, and 3 at the end of the article present detailed
estimates of the yearend positions.
Revisions.—The estimates of the U.S. international investment position have been revised back
to 1976. For yearend 1997, the net negative position has been revised from $1,223.6 billion to
$968.2 billion with direct investment at current
cost and from $1,322.5 billion to $1,066.3 billion
with direct investment at market value (table 4).
The major sources of these revisions are in U.S.owned foreign securities of Europe, and to a
lesser extent, of Latin America, that were uncovered in a recent U.S. Treasury benchmark survey.
On the current-cost basis, sizable revisions to the
direct investment positions, both U.S. direct investment abroad and foreign direct investment
in the United States, reflected the incorporation
of improved estimates of the current-cost adjustment in the valuation methodology. On the
market-value basis, large revisions reflected the
incorporation of revised source data. (For more
information, see the box "Improvements in the
Estimates")

Claims on foreigners reported by U.S. banks
increased $28.1 billion, to $1,013.9 billion, in
1998, reflecting a sharp slowdown in U.S. banks'
lending abroad to the lowest level since 1994
and a withdrawal of U.S. security dealers' lending to foreign-based investment funds (table C).
Lending overseas was affected by the economic

slowdown abroad, especially in Asia, and by
banks' increased focus on customer creditworthiness, particularly after the Russian default and
the heightened financial problems in Brazil late
in 1998. In particular, exposure to emergingmarket countries and Japan was reduced. U.S.
lending to Europe, which was boosted by strong
merger and acquisition activity, and to Canada
was strong; most of the lending was by Europeanand Canadian-owned banks in the United States.
U.S. banks' claims of foreign-owned banks in the
United States were also boosted by a transfer of
business to U.S. offices from Europe by recently
merged European banks.
U.S. banks' own claims payable in dollars increased $26.6 billion, to $734.8 billion, sharply
less than in the prior years; banks reduced their
exposure, mainly to emerging-market countries
and Japan, where economic recession and troubled financial conditions reduced demand for
bank credit. Foreign-owned banks in the United
States lent to affiliates in Europe, where credit demand was underpinned by ongoing merger and
acquisition activity. U.S.-owned banks provided
only temporary funding to offices in Caribbean
banking centers, so that claims changed little.
Claims reported by U.S. securities dealers decreased sharply, reflecting cutbacks on renewing
credit to international bond funds in the United
Kingdom and Caribbean; this decrease followed
heightened concerns about risk in the aftermath
of the near collapse of a large U.S. hedge fund in
September.
U.S. banks' domestic customers' claims payable
in dollars decreased $2.0 billion, to $184.4 billion,
as U.S. depositors became more cautious in their
dealings with banks exposed to overseas financial
difficulties.
U.S. banks' own and customers' claims payable
in foreign currencies increased $3.5 billion, to
$94.7 billion. Banks sharply reduced their claims
on Japan in the first half of the year and increased
their foreign currency claims on Europe in the
second half.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
Foreign securities
Foreign securities held in U.S. portfolios increased $229.6 billion, to $1,969.0 billion, in 1998.3
This increase reflected substantial price appreciation in U.S. holdings of Western European
stocks and net U.S. purchases of foreign stocks
and bonds in the first half of the year that were
augmented by the two exceptionally large acquisitions through exchanges of stock with U.S.
shareholders in the fourth quarter. Net exchange
rate appreciation mostly reflected the appreciation in European currencies and the Japanese
yen against the U.S. dollar in 1998. Excluding
the two large exchanges of stock, U.S. investors
shifted to net sales of foreign securities, especially in the second half of the year, when Russia
and Brazil encountered financial difficulties, economic weakness continued in Asia, and a large
U.S. hedge fund nearly failed. In this unsettled
financial environment, the share of U.S. pension fund assets abroad declined to 14 percent
from 18 percent, and new investment in U.S. mutual funds that specialize in foreign assets fell by
two-thirds. Some mutual funds had withdrawals,
especially emerging market targeted funds.
U.S. holdings of foreign stocks increased $206.1
billion, to $1,407.1 billion (table D). The increase
resulted from $80.3 billion in price appreciation,
primarily in Western European stocks,from$77.6
3. These estimates incorporate the preliminary results from the U.S.
Treasury Department's and the Federal Reserve System's Benchmark Survey
of U.S. Ownership of Foreign Long-term Securities as of December 31,1997.
A list of U.S. foreign portfolio holdings by country of issue is presented in
tables D and E. For more information, see page 67 of "U.S. International
Transactions, Revised Estimates for 1982-98" in this issue.

billion in net purchases, which included the two
large exchanges of stock, and from $48.0 billion in
exchange rate appreciation, reflecting the appreciation of European and Asian currencies against
the dollar. Excluding the two exchanges of stock,
U.S. investors reduced their holdings in the year:
Following the Asian crisis late in 1997, net purchases remained weak in the first half of 1998,
and as a result of the financial turbulence of the
second half of 1998, U.S. investors became net
sellers.
• U.S. holdings of Western European stocks
increased 34 percent, mostly as a result of
price and exchange rate appreciation and the
two large acquisitions of British and German
stocks in payment for the direct investments
in the United States. Boosted by prospects
of the European Union and strong merger
activity, European stock prices increased an
average of 22 percent in 1998. Continental
currencies also appreciated strongly against
the U.S. dollar in the second half of the year.
Excluding the two large acquisitions, U.S.
investors sold European stocks, reflecting
concerns about slowing growth in Europe.
• U.S. holdings of Japanese stocks decreased
9 percent, as a 9-percent drop in Japanese
stock prices was only partly offset by exchange rate appreciation of the Japanese yen
against the dollar and small net U.S. purchases of Japanese stocks. U.S. demand was
sharply curtailed by the economic recession
and the problems of financial firms in Japan.
• U.S. holdings of Canadian stocks declined
13 percent as a result of net U.S. sales
and of price and exchange rate depreciation. Canadian investments suffered from

weak commodity prices and sluggish overseas
demand for Canadian exports.
• U.S. holdings of other foreign stocks, primarily of stocks of emerging countries, decreased
5 percent. Holdings of Latin American stocks
decreased as a result of the substantial price
depreciation. Holdings of Asian stocks increased, reflecting strong net purchases early
in the year that were partly offset by an
8-percent drop in the prices of Asian stocks.
U.S. holdings of foreign bonds increased $23.4
billion, to $561.8 billion (table E). Net purchases
slowed to $25.1 billion, as U.S. asset managers
limited the additions to their overseas exposure
and focused on highly rated foreign new issues in the U.S. market. Price appreciation of
$18.4 billion, primarily in industrial countries'
bonds, nearly offset the $20.1 billion effect of exchange rate depreciation, mainly in Canadian and
emerging countries' currencies. Despite the drop
in U.S. long-term interest rates, foreign new bond
issues in the United States slowed sharply; in particular, new issues of Latin American and Asian
emerging countries faced elevated risk premiums
in the second half of the year, when markets reacted to unfolding problems in Russia and Brazil.
U.S. investment in highly rated corporate bonds
from Western Europe, Canada, and Japan continued strong. Net sales of outstanding bonds of
emerging countries more than doubled.
U.S. direct investment abroad and other private
assets
U.S. direct investment abroad at current cost increased $119.2 billion, to $1,123.4 billion, in 1998;
at market value, it increased $356.0 billion, to
$2,140.5 billion (table F). Direct investment net
financial outflows increased to a record $132.8 billion. Equity outflows accelerated to a record, and
intercompany debt outflows tripled; in contrast,
reinvested earnings decreased slightly, mainly as
a result of reduced earnings of foreign affiliates
in Asia and Latin America. Acquisition activity
was particularly strong in the United Kingdom,

Canada, and Australia. U.S. financial flows to
several emerging-market countries slowed as a result of economic and financial problems in those
countries.
At current cost, the large financial outflows accounted for most of the increase in the position.
At market value, the financial outflows were augmented by a substantial increase in U.S. owner's
equity, primarily as a result of the steep rise in
European stock prices in 1998.
Claims on unaffiliated foreigners reported by
U.S. nonbanking concerns increased $33.8 billion,
to $596.2 billion, considerably below the 1997
record increase. U.S. depositing at banks in the
United Kingdom and the Caribbean slowed significantly, and funding from U.S. financial firms
to their foreign finance affiliates, which surged in
the first quarter, fell off as capital markets abroad
became unsettled later in the year.
U.S. official reserve assets and other U.S.
Government assets
U.S. official reserve assets increased $11.2 billion,
to $146.0 billion in 1998. The U.S. reserve position at the International Monetary Fund (IMF)
was boosted by dollar borrowing from the IMF
by Russia, Korea, Indonesia, and Brazil. Foreigncurrency reserves increased mainly because of
coordinated intervention purchases of Japanese
yen in midyear and because of exchange rate
appreciation in holdings of Japanese yen and
German marks.
U.S. Government assets other than reserve assets increased $0.4 billion, to $82.4 billion, as new
U.S. Government credits to foreigners slightly
exceeded repayments.

Changes in Foreign Assets
in the United States
Foreign official assets
Foreign official assets increased $0.3 billion, to
$836.1 billion, in 1998, as net financial outflows
were more than offset by price appreciation in
holdings of U.S. corporate securities and U.S.
Treasury bonds. Disruptions in exchange markets, especially those resulting from Russia's and
Brazil's problems, led to sales of dollar assets
by several industrial and developing countries.
These countries mainly liquidated deposits and
short-term Treasury obligations so that they
could intervene in exchange markets by buying
their currencies with dollars, OPEC countries also
reduced their assets in the Unites States.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Bank liabilities
U.S. liabilities to private foreigners and international financial institutions reported by U.S.
banks increased $46.1 billion, to $1,017.1 billion, in
1998. This increase represented a marked slowddwn from the record inflows in 1997. In 1998,
U.S. banks borrowed less from abroad to finance
their lending, especially to the overseas interbank
market. In addition, foreign incentives to deposit
in U.S. banks lessened as U.S. short-term interest rates fell and as the dollar depreciated against
European currencies and the Japanese yen after
midyear. In addition, international bond funds
withdrew funds, mostly from U.S. securities dealers, in order to meet liquidity needs as capital
market uncertainties escalated in the second half
of the year (table G).
U.S. banks5 own liabilities payable in dollars increased $23.7 billion, to $805.4 billion. Early in
1998, U.S. banks repaid some large-scale borrowings from banks abroad that had been made in
the final quarter of 1997, partly to finance their
overseas interbank lending. In midyear, U.S. borrowing from abroad resumed, mostly from banks
in the Caribbean and Europe; this borrowing
was primarily to finance lending to home offices by Canadian- and European-owned banks
in the United States. Later in the year, Japaneseowned offices in the United States stepped up
their borrowing from home offices in Japan to
replace heavy withdrawals by unaffiliated foreign
banks; home office funds were tapped to avoid
the elevated risk premiums that would have applied to funds borrowed in the United States as
a result of the continued financial problems with
Japanese banks. U.S. dollar liabilities of foreignowned banks were also boosted by a transfer of
business to U.S. offices from Europe by recently
merged European banks. U.S.-owned banks limited their borrowing from overseas, mostly from
Caribbean offices, as U.S. domestic deposit inflows were ample. Deposits were withdrawn from
U.S. banks, especially by unaffiliated residents in
Western Europe and the Caribbean banking cen-

July 1999

ters, as concern over cross-border risk increased
and as the dollar depreciated against European
currencies and the Japanese yen. International
bond funds also withdrew funds from U.S. securities dealers to meet margin calls and to limit
losses in the aftermath of the near collapse of a
large U.S. hedge fund.
U.S. banks' custody liabilities payable in dollars, which represent U.S. nonbanks' short- and
medium-term borrowing from banks abroad,
increased $38.8 billion, to $110.6 billion. The substantial increase was bolstered by a surge in the
third quarter, when longer term capital markets
became unstable.
U.S. bank's liabilities payable in foreign currencies decreased $16.4 billion, to $101.1 billion, as
banks reduced their foreign currency borrowing
from, and lending to, customers overseas.
U.S. Treasury securities
U.S. Treasury securities held by private foreigners
and by international financial institutions increased $65.1 billion, to $727.3 billion, in 1998
(table H). The increase reflected intermittent
net purchases of U.S. Treasury securities—nearly
two-thirds less than the near record in 1997—
and price appreciation in U.S. Treasury bonds
as the yield on the benchmark 30-year Treasury
issue fell to its lowest level since 1967. Foreign
purchases were attracted by widening yield differentials favoring U.S. Government bonds over
most foreign government bonds, by a relatively
strong dollar in the first half of the year, and by
investors' flight to safety and liquidity when capital markets were disrupted in the second half of
the year. The slowdown in U.S. Treasury securities may also be attributed to a surge of foreign
investments in higher yielding U.S. corporate
securities.
Western European holdings of U.S. Treasury
securities rose moderately, reflecting a marked
slowdown in purchases as rising stock and bond

prices in Europe and a weakening dollar in
the second half of the year reduced investor
demand after record buying in 1997. Asian holdings increased, mainly reflecting strong purchases
when global concerns mounted about the risks
in emerging markets in the second half of the
year. Large holdings in the Caribbean were reduced slightly, as price appreciation was offset by
strong sales by international bond funds. Holdings of all other countries gained as a result of
price appreciation.

U.S. currency
U.S. currency held by foreigners increased $16.6
billion, to $228.3 billion; large shipments to Eastern Europe, including Russia, were reduced partly
because currency-importing banks had difficulty
raising funds for payment and partly because new
market developments enabled Russia to obtain
recirculated, counterfeit-resistant U.S. currency
from European banks. Shipments to Latin America increased, reflecting increased demand for
U.S. currency as a result of deteriorating financial
conditions in a few countries in the second half
of the year.
Other U.S. securities
Foreign holdings of U.S. securities, other than
U.S. Treasury securities, increased $443.1 billion,
to $2,021.8 billion, in 1998; the increase was bolstered by record net foreign purchases of U.S.
bonds and by substantial price appreciation of
U.S. stocks. Net purchases of U.S. corporate
bonds and of federally sponsored agency bonds
surged in the first half of the year, when foreign
investors were attracted by the rise in U.S. bond
prices, by the higher yields on U.S. issues than
on most other industrial countries' bonds, and
by the U.S. dollar's strength in exchange markets.
Demand was also spurred by a shift to higher
yielding corporate issues when interest rates on
U.S. Treasury bonds fell to their lowest level since
1967. Foreign holdings of U.S. stocks increased
as a result of sharply higher U.S. stock prices in
1998 and of strong foreign net purchases in the
first half of the year. The brisk-paced U.S. economy and steady growth in corporate earnings
contributed to these strong inflows.
Foreign holdings of U.S. corporate and agency
bonds increased $185.5 billion, to $900.7 billion, mainly as the result of $170.5 billion in
record net purchases that were encouraged by
a nearly 2-percent rise in bond prices in 1998.
U.S. borrowers, especially U.S. federally sponsored agencies, issued $87.1 billion of new bonds

overseas; these bonds were mainly high-quality,
mortgage-backed securities that became even
more attractive in a low-interest-rate environment and the financial market turmoil after
midyear. U.S. nonbank financial corporations remained heavy issuers, but at a level slightly below
that in 1997, and U.S. banks reduced their issuance by two-thirds, partly as a result of the
ample availability of alternate funding. Nearly
two-thirds of the new issues were dollar denominated, and over two-thirds were straight fixed
rate; the use of floating-rate notes slowed sharply.
Strong foreign demand was also evident in large
net purchases of outstanding U.S. bonds. Foreign
holdings are highly concentrated in the United
Kingdom, where lead underwriters of U.S. overseas issues reside, in Japan, and in the Caribbean
(table I).
Foreign holdings of U.S. stocks increased $257.6
billion, to $1,121.1 billion, reflecting $210.0 billion in price appreciation and a near-record $47.5
billion in net foreign purchases. Holdings were
bolstered by a 27-percent increase in U.S. stock
prices in 1998. Net foreign purchases were especially strong in the first half of the year. In
the second half, purchases slowed when investors
became concerned about a possible global economic slowdown and when confidence was jolted
by the near failure of a large U.S. hedge fund.

Consequently, Asian investors and Caribbeanbased mutual funds sold off large amounts of
U.S. stocks. Western European investors' interest
in U.S. stocks was robust throughout the year.
Canadian and Japanese holdings also increased;
net sales, which accelerated in 1998, partly offset
the strong price gains (table J).
Foreign direct investment in the United States
and other liabilities
Foreign direct investment in the United States
valued at current cost increased $114.7 billion, to
$878.7 billion, in 1998; at market value, it increased $551.7 billion, to $2,194.1 billion (table K).
In 1998, net financial inflows of $193.4 billion
exceeded the 1997 record. Net equity inflows
increased sharply to a record level, boosted by
the two exceptionally large acquisitions through
exchanges of stock with U.S. shareholders; reinvested earnings increased, but less than in 1997;
and net intercompany debt inflows increased
slightly. At current cost, the record net financial inflows were partly offset by a large, negative
valuation adjustment (mainly related to the two
exceptionally large acquisitions); this adjustment
is made to reconcile market-based transactions

Liabilities to unaffiliated foreigners reported by

from foreign banks and financial inflows to U.S.

year, when overseas markets became unsettled.

Direct Investment Positions for 1998
Country and Industry Detail
By Sylvia E. Burgas and Rosaria Troia

HE POSITIONS of U.S. direct investment
abroad (USDIA) and foreign direct investment in the United States (FDIUS)—whether
measured on the basis of historical cost, current cost, or market value—grew strongly in 1998
(table 1). This article presents the country and
industry detail underlying the two positions. The
estimates are prepared on a historical-cost basis;
thus, most investments reflect price levels of earlier time periods. Because of inflation, estimates
on this valuation basis understate the current
values of the positions, BEA'S current-cost and
market-value estimates correct for this downward
bias, but they are only available at an aggregate
level.1
On a historical-cost basis, the USDIA position
grew 13 percent in 1998, and the FDIUS position grew 17 percent; for FDIUS, the rate of
increase was the largest since 1989. For both
positions, a substantial portion of the growth
was attributable to a surge in capital flows
for new investments, which coincided with a
global boom in mergers and acquisitions. Equity capital flows for acquiring or establishing

T

new affiliates set new records by large margins.
The dollar value of acquisition-related flows was
boosted by high valuations in the equity markets of the United States and a number of other
countries.
Favorable economic conditions in the United
States, Europe, and Canada also contributed to
the strong growth in the direct investment positions. The strength of these economies created
strong incentives to invest there. Additionally,
the earnings of parent companies in these areas
remained at high levels and provided a source of
funds for investment abroad.
Unfavorable economic conditions in a number
of countries in Asia and Latin America did not
appear to significantly affect either of the positions. The USDIA position continued to grow in
these areas, as U.S. investors acquired new affiliates and increased their funding of existing
ones. Depressed asset prices in several countries
were an inducement to U.S. investors, despite declines in the earnings of foreign affiliates in those
countries. The FDIUS position of parents in Asia
expanded as parent companies in Japan—by far
the largest source of Asian direct investment in

existing U.S. affiliates, even though problems
in the Japanese economy curtailed Japanese investors' ability to finance new U.S. investments.
The position of Latin American parents declined
slightly; the decline was related to financial restructuring among affiliates with parents in the
Caribbean.

The largest component of capital flows underlying the changes in both positions was equity
capital, which includes the funds used to acquire and establish new affiliates and capital
contributions to existing affiliates. Equity capital
accounted for almost half of the total outflows
for USDIA and over four-fifths of the total inflows
for FDIUS.

U.S. Direct Investment Abroad
The U.S. direct investment position abroad valued at historical cost—the book value of U.S.
direct investors' equity in, and net outstanding
loans to, their foreign affiliates—was $980.6 billion at the end of 1998 (table 2 and chart 1). The
largest positions remained those in the United
Kingdom ($178.6 billion, or 18 percent of the total), in Canada ($103.9 billion, or 11 percent of
the total), and in the Netherlands ($79.4 billion,
or 8 percent of the total) (table 3.2 and chart 2).

Preliminary.
1. The USDIA and FDIUS positions reflect a discontinuity between 1993 and 1994 due to
the rectification from direct investment to other investment accounts of intercompany debt
between parent companies and affiliates that are nondepository financial intermediaries.

In 1998, the USDIA position increased $115.0 billion, or 13 percent, following a 9-percent increase
in 1997. The following table shows the change in

Capital outflows for USDIA were a record $121.6
billion in 1998 (the previous record of $99.5 billion was set in 1997). Almost 50 percent of the
outflows were accounted for by net equity capital outflows, which were up $15.5 billion from
1997; almost 40 percent was accounted for by
reinvested earnings, which were down $3.7 billion; and the remainder was accounted for by
intercompany debt outflows, which were up $10.3
billion.
Equity capital outflows reached a record $59.4
billion, up 35 percent from their 1997 levels. Equity capital increases, which result from equity
investments by U.S. parents in both new and
existing foreign affiliates, were $79.9 billion and

primarily reflected acquisitions. These increases
were partly offset by equity capital decreases of
$20.4 billion; equity capital decreases result when
U.S. parents sell off stock or other equity in their
foreign affiliates and when foreign affiliates return invested capital to U.S. parents (transactions
that are recorded as U.S. capital inflows).
Acquisition activity by U.S. direct investors
was strong in 1998. Funds available to U.S.
parent companies were plentiful as a result of
rising equity markets and continued strong economic growth in the United States. In addition,
relatively favorable economic conditions in the
United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia, where
a substantial portion of the acquisition activity was concentrated, increased the attractiveness
of direct investments in these countries. Finally, several large acquisitions resulted from
opportunities created by privatizations of electric utilities and telecommunications companies
abroad. Acquisition activity was particularly
strong in the United Kingdom, where there were
substantial new investments in electric utilities,
manufacturing, insurance, and services.
Although down 7 percent from a record level in
1997, reinvested earnings remained high at $47.5
billion in 1998, reflecting a pattern of strong earnings and high rates of reinvestment that began
in 1995. In each year during 1995-98, total earnings exceeded $85 billion, and the share that was
reinvested was at least 50 percent, well above the
35-percent average share in 1982-94. In 1998, the
share was 53 percent.
The 7-percent decline in reinvested earnings
mirrored an even sharper decline in earnings.
Both declines were centered in Asia and Latin
America—particularly in some countries where
economic conditions deteriorated significantly,
such as Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia and Brazil.
Earnings and reinvested earnings also declined in
Australia and Mexico, partly because the depreciation of their currencies lowered the value of
these items in terms of U.S. dollars.
The intercompany debt outflows primarily resulted from increased lending by parents to their
foreign affiliates. These outflows were more than
accounted for by outflows to Europe, particularly
to the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and
Ireland.
The capital outflows were partly offset by a $6.6
billion downward adjustment to the value of the
position. Several foreign affiliates were acquired
by U.S. direct investors for more than book value,
so a downward adjustment was necessary to reconcile the purchase price, which is reflected in

capital outflows (and would otherwise determine
the measured change in position), with the book
values used in computing the historical-cost position. (See valuation adjustments in the box "Key
Terms.")
Changes by country
More than half of the $115.0 billion increase in
the USDIA position in 1998 was accounted for by
increases in Europe. Major changes in the position by area and by country are shown in the

The position in Europe increased 17 percent.
Within Europe, the United Kingdom had by
far the largest increase, followed by the Netherlands and Switzerland. In the United Kingdom,
equity investments to acquire companies were
substantial, especially in "other industries" (primarily electric utilities); manufacturing (primarily transportation equipment); finance (except
depository institutions), insurance and real estate (FIRE) (primarily insurance); and services.
U.S. parent companies are attracted to the United
Kingdom because of its large, prosperous market and because of the similarity of its business
culture, legal framework, and language to that of
the United States; in addition, the United Kingdom is often used as a springboard for investing
elsewhere in Europe. In both the Netherlands
and Switzerland, a large portion of the increase
in the position was accounted for by reinvested
earnings—particularly those of holding companies classified in FIRE, which, in turn, reflected
strong earnings of operating affiliates held by
these companies.
The position in Latin America and Other Western Hemisphere increased 10 percent; the increase
was almost entirely in capital outflows, mostly

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

equity capital. Within the area, the largest increases were in Panama, Bermuda, Brazil, and
Mexico. In Panama, the increase consisted largely
of valuation adjustments, mainly reflecting capital gains in FIRE. In Bermuda, the increase
consisted largely of reinvested earnings of holding companies in FIRE and reflected earnings of
operating affiliates located in other countries. In
Brazil, the increases were largely in new investments in electric utility and telecommunications
companies (classified in "other industries") that
were made in response to opportunities created
by privatizations. In Mexico, the largest increases were in FIRE and in "other industries"
(primarily retail trade and telecommunications)
and were split between reinvested earnings and
equity capital outflows.
The position in Asia and Pacific increased 10
percent; the largest increases were in Japan and
Australia. In Japan, by far the largest increase
was in FIRE. In Australia, most of the increase
was in equity capital outflows for acquisitions of
new affiliates in FIRE.
The position in Canada increased 8 percent.
More than 8o percent of the increase was accounted for by equity capital. By industry,
the largest increases were in "other industries"
(primarily retail trade), "other manufacturing"
(primarily paper and allied products), FIRE, and

leum company and the acquisition of a motor
vehicle manufacturer by foreign firms in the same
industries as the acquired firms.3 Both transactions were accomplished by exchanging stock; the
shareholders of the premerger firms exchanged
their stock for stock in the new foreign firms
that were created through the mergers. Taken
together, these exchanges resulted in large, but almost entirely offsetting, capital flows in the U.S.
balance of payments: The large capital inflows on
direct investment that resulted from the foreign
investors' acquisition of stock of the U.S. companies were offset by the capital outflows on foreign
securities that resulted from the U.S. stockholders receiving the stock of the newly established
foreign firms.4
The two transactions significantly affected the
positions in petroleum and manufacturing. In
petroleum, the position expanded 27 percent,
following several years of almost no growth.
(The annual growth rate in 1987-97 was 1 percent.) The acquisition also changed the parentcountry composition of the position in petroleum; roughly half was accounted for by the
United Kingdom at yearend 1998, compared with
slightly more than a fourth at yearend 1997. The

4. The USDIA position was not affected by these two transactions, because
the exchanges of stock did not result in any single U.S. investor owning as
much as 10 percent of the shares of the new foreign firms.

The foreign direct investment position in the
United States valued at historical cost—the book
value of foreign direct investors' equity in, and
net outstanding loans to, their U.S. affiliates—
was $811.8 billion at the end of 1998 (table 2 and
chart 1). The largest position remained that of
the United Kingdom, ($151.3 billion, or 19 percent of the total), which widened its margin
over Japan, the country with the second-largest
position ($132.6 billion, or 16 percent). The
Netherlands had the third largest position ($96.9
billion, or 12 percent), slightly ahead of Germany ($95.0 billion, or 12 percent) (table 4.2 and
chart 3).
In 1998, the FDIUS position increased $118.5
billion, or 17 percent, following an increase of
16 percent in 1997. Two exceptionally large
transactions contributed to the overall increase.
The two transactions—each of which significantly exceeded the size of any previous single
investment—involved the acquisition of a petro-

acquisition of the automobile manufacturer contributed to a 21-percent increase in the position
in manufacturing, nearly twice the annual growth
rate in 1987-97.
Although these two transactions accounted for
nearly a fourth of the overall increase, growth
in the position would have been 13 percent even
without them. Investment in the United States
was indirectly boosted by the recessionary conditions in some other parts of the world and
by a perceived widening of the risk differential
between investing in the United States and investing in many developing countries. In particular,
economic difficulties in Asia and Latin America
caused some foreign direct investors to place a
high value on the "safe harbor" provided by the
economic stability of the United States. Growth
in the position also reflected favorable economic
conditions in Europe and Canada, which helped
parents from those areas to acquire affiliates in
the United States and to contribute additional
capital to their existing U.S. affiliates.
Although the economic situation deteriorated
sharply in Japan, capital flows from Japanese parents to their existing U.S. affiliates continued,
resulting in a 6-percent increase in Japan's direct
investment position in the United States. However, because of the weakness of the Japanese
economy, Japanese investments in new U.S.
affiliates remained at historically low levels.

Capital inflows for FDIUS were a record $189.0
billion in 1998 (the previous record of $105.5 billion was set in 1997). Most—82 percent—of the
capital inflows were net inflows of equity capital
($154.2 billion). The rest were accounted for by
intercompany debt flows ($26.4 billion) and reinvested earnings ($8.4 billion). The capital inflows
were partly offset by a substantial downward
adjustment—$70.4 billion—to the value of the
position, which was primarily related to the two
large transactions. Both the petroleum company




and the motor vehicle manufacturer were acquired by foreign direct investors for considerably
more than book value; the downward adjustment
was made to reconcile the transactions values
of the acquisitions, which are reflected in capital inflows (and would otherwise determine the
measured change in position), with the much
smaller book values that are recorded in the
historical-cost position.
Total acquisition activity by foreign direct investors was at record levels and coincided with
a sharp increase in overall merger and acquisition activity in the United States.5 A general
factor behind the surge in acquisitions was the
desire to reduce costs through economies of scale
in response to heightened global competition.
In addition, the desire of foreign investors to
gain access to the advanced and growing technological capability of the United States led to
a number of acquisitions of telecommunication
and information-related businesses. (Funds provided by foreign parents for such acquisitions
exceeded $25 billion.) High valuations in the
U.S. equity markets boosted the dollar value of
acquisition-related inflows.
Equity capital inflows—the net of equity capital increases and equity capital decreases reached
a record $154.2 billion, more than double the
previous record of $64.7 billion in 1997. Equity
capital increases—at $176.0 billion—reflected the
acquisitions of U.S. businesses by foreigners and
additional equity contributions to existing U.S.
affiliates. These increases were partly offset by
equity capital decreases—at $21.8 billion—which
reflected selloffs of affiliates by, and returns of
capital to, foreign direct investors (transactions
that are recorded as U.S. capital outflows).
Intercompany debt inflows were $26.4 billion,
up from $24.3 billion. More than half of the
inflows were from parents in Luxembourg and
5. See Mahnaz Fahim-Nader, "Foreign Direct Investment in the United
States: New Investment in 1998," SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS 79 (June
1999): 16-23. Preliminary data from BEA'S survey of new foreign direct investments, summarized in that article, indicate that total outlays to acquire
or establish U.S. businesses, including those financed by capital inflows from
foreign parents, were up 188 percent to $201.0 billion in 1998, following a
13-percent decrease in 1997. These data cover only transactions involving
U.S. businesses newly acquired or established by foreign direct investors and
include financing other than that from the foreign parent, such as local
borrowing by existing U.S. affiliates. In contrast, the changes in the FDIUS
position described in this article reflect transactions of both new and existing U.S. affiliates with their foreign parents or other members of the foreign
parent group and valuation adjustments, and exclude financing not provided
by the foreign parent.
Notwithstanding these differences, the two types of data are related. Any
outlays to acquire or establish U.S. businesses that are funded by foreign
parent groups are part of capital inflows for FDIUS, a component of the change
in the position. Data from the new investments survey indicate that foreign
parent groups funded $155.3 billion, or yj percent, of outlays to acquire or
establish new U.S. affiliates in 1998, compared with $37.4 billion, or 54 percent,
in 1997.

were partly related to several acquisitions in
manufacturing and services.
Reinvested earnings were $8.4 billion in 1998—
about half their level in 1997. The decrease
primarily reflected a drop in earnings, but a lower
rate of reinvestment also contributed. Earnings
fell $5.5 billion; the drop was more than accounted for by petroleum and finance (except
depository institutions). The decrease in petroleum reflected the drop in oil prices. In finance,
earnings shifted to losses; more than half of this
shift was accounted for by Swiss-owned investment firms that were restructuring. The share
of earnings that were reinvested was 30 percent,
down from an unusually high 49 percent in 1997
but in line with an average rate of 32 percent in
1994-96. Reinvested earnings were negative in
food manufacturing, finance, petroleum, real estate, and "other industries." (Negative reinvested
earnings are recorded when affiliates incur losses
or distribute earnings to their foreign parents in
excess of their current earnings.)
Changes by country
Almost all—90 percent—of the $118.5 billion
increase in the FDIUS position in 1998 was accounted for by parents in Europe. Within
Europe, the largest dollar increase was in the position of parents in Germany, followed by the
positions of parents in the United Kingdom,
Switzerland, Luxembourg, and France. Outside
Europe, the largest increases were by parents in
Japan and Canada. Major changes in the positions by area and by country are shown in the

The position of Germany increased 33 percent.
Most of this increase was accounted for by the
acquisition of the motor vehicle manufacturer.
This acquisition substantially changed the industry composition of Germany's position; more
than half was accounted for by manufacturing
at yearend 1998. Germany's overall position was

also increased by additional equity investments in
existing affiliates that are depository institutions.
The acquisition of a major petroleum company accounted for most of the increase in the
United Kingdom's overall position and was the
primary factor behind a more than twofold increase in its position in petroleum. The overall
position was also increased by additional equity
investments in existing affiliates in manufacturing, petroleum, wholesale trade, finance, and
services (some of which financed acquisitions by
these affiliates) and by reinvested earnings of affiliates in manufacturing (particularly chemicals),
services, and wholesale trade. These increases
were partly offset by equity capital outflows and
downward adjustments to the position that were
related to sell-offs of telecommunications and
insurance affiliates.
The position of Swiss parents increased 41 percent. Nearly two-thirds of the increase was in
insurance. Swiss investors acquired a number
of U.S. insurance companies, some from foreign
parents in other countries.6 In addition, Swiss
parents contributed substantial capital to their
existing insurance affiliates. These changes—
which more than doubled Switzerland's position
in insurance—reflected Swiss insurers' desires to
consolidate into larger, more efficient units and
to become better able to spread risks.
The position of Luxembourg parents nearly
quadrupled; the increase reflected intercompany
borrowing by affiliates in manufacturing and—to
a lesser extent—services. In both industries, the
borrowing was related to the acquisitions of new
U.S. affiliates.
The increase in the position of French parents
was concentrated in machinery, "other manufacturing," and chemicals. The increase in machinery resulted from acquisitions of telecommunications equipment businesses; the increase in
"other manufacturing" resulted from capital contributions to existing affiliates; and the increase in
chemicals resulted from affiliate borrowing from
foreign parents.
More than three-fourths of the increase in the
position of Japanese parents was accounted for by
equity capital contributions to existing affiliates.
These capital contributions were concentrated in
the three industries that account for the largest
shares of Japan's position—wholesale trade, finance (except depository institutions), and "other

manufacturing." Reinvested earnings in "other
manufacturing" also boosted the position.
The increase in the position of Canadian parents was more than accounted for by equity
capital inflows, which were the third largest of




any country. By industry, the largest increases in
the position were in "other industries," finance,
real estate, and machinery,

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

July 1999

U.S. International Transactions,
Revised Estimates for 1982-98
By Christopher L Bach

is customary each June, the estimates of
.S. international transactions have been
revised to incorporate methodological and statistical revisions. This year, like last year, a number
of improvements have been implemented as part
of continuing efforts by the Bureau of Economic
Analysis (BEA) to address gaps in coverage of
the transactions. In large part, the gaps have
arisen because of the dynamic nature of international markets. The major improvements this
year respond to rapid changes in both the capital
markets and services markets.
Also this year, the treatment of current- and
capital-account transactions is modified to bring
it into closer alignment with international guidelines, BEA is among those agencies in the United
States and in other countries that has been both
a strong supporter of, and a major contributor
to, the development of the international guidelines recommended in the fifth edition of the
International Monetary Fund's Balance of Payments Manual1 Many important changes in
the international guidelines are patterned after
the innovations and changes undertaken by BEA
in the U.S. international transactions and direct investment accounts in recent years, BEA
has already adopted many of the most important changes included in the Manual and, with
this change, it is moving forward to eliminate
one of the few remaining differences between the
guidelines and the U.S. international accounts.

Certain income transactions that were previously included in services account are now
reclassified to the income account, and their
coverage has been expanded, for 1986-98.
This change places all income transactions
together; consequently, both the services
account and income account are redefined.
In the direct investment income and financial
accounts, new measures of the current-cost
adjustment are introduced for 1982-98. This
change more closely aligns the accounts with
economic, rather than business, accounting
requirements.
In the investment income account, greatly
improved estimates of income receipts are
introduced based on preliminary results of
a benchmark survey of the stock of U.S.
portfolio investment in long-term foreign securities as of December 31,1997. The updated
position estimates enable BEA to develop
improved estimates of bond interest and dividend receipts for 1994-98. The new position
data are included in the U.S. international
investment position.
In the services account, results from a onetime survey are incorporated into estimates
of travel payments for 1997-98, and a revised
methodology and updated source data for
medical services receipts are introduced for
1995-98.

• The accounts are now divided into three
groups—a current account, a capital account,
and a financial account. This change is made
to provide a more focused picture of different types of transactions and to remove
certain transactions from the current account
that may distort the analysis of underlying
trends in the balances on goods, services, income, and current transfers. Previously, the
accounts were divided into a current account
and a capital account.

In the new capital account, new estimates
of immigrants' transfers are introduced for
1982-98; these estimates are a key component
of this account.
In the income account, new estimates of the
compensation of temporary nonagricultural
workers in the United States are introduced
for 1986-98.
In the goods account, improvements to the
seasonal adjustment of exports for 1996-98
have reduced the amount of "residual"
seasonally.

1. See "The International Monetary Fund's New Standards for Economic
Statistics" SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS 76 (October 1996): 37-47.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
The new presentation and the newly available
benchmark data, improved methodologies, and
reclassification are discussed in the remaining
sections of this article. In addition to these major
revisions, revisions result from the incorporation of regularly available data from BEA'S annual
and quarterly surveys, from the U.S. Treasury
Department's and the Federal Reserve System's
quarterly and monthly surveys, and supplemental data from other U.S. Government agencies
and private sources. For 1998, as a result of all
changes, the current-account deficit is reduced
$12.9 billion, to $220.6 billion (table 1). By account, $0.8 billion is removed from goods exports
and $1.9 billion is removed from goods imports,
resulting in a deficit that is $1.1 billion lower than
previously estimated (table 2). For services, $3.3
billion is added to services receipts and $0.5 billion removed from services payments, resulting
in a surplus that is $3.8 billion higher than previously estimated. For income, $15.7 billion is
added to income receipts and $5.4 billion to income payments, resulting in a deficit that is $10.3
billion lower than previously estimated. For net
unilateral current transfers, $2.2 billion is added,
resulting in an increase in net current transfers
of $2.2 billion. Net financial inflows and their

July 1999

components were revised down $27.3 billion, to
$209.8 billion. Details on revisions to individual series are shown in table 4 at the end of the
article.
Changes in presentation
Restructuring of the accounts.—U.S. international
transactions are now presented in three groups—
a current account, a capital account, and a
financial account. Previously, transactions were
presented in two groups—a current account and
a capital account. The current account is redefined by removing a small part of the previous
measure of unilateral transfers and including
it in the new capital account.
The previous capital account becomes the new financial
account.
The changes are intended to provide a more
focused picture of different types of international
transactions. Reclassification of capital transfers
from the current account to the new capital account is designed to separate transactions that
mainly represent changes in ownership of existing
assets, which affect nations' balance sheets, from
current transfers, which affect nations' income
and product in the current period. For example,

reclassification of such items partly reflects the
need to remove distortions in current-account
balances that can be caused by debt forgiveness.
In the 1980's, a number of countries, including the United States, forgave large amounts of

the debt accumulated by a number of developing countries. For some of these countries,
the debt forgiveness caused movements that obscured underlying trends in their current-account
balances.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

The accounts for both current and capital
transfers are designed as the accounts where offsetting entries are made to the exchanges of real
or financial assets that are recorded in the current or financial accounts. Entries for transfers in
the current and financial accounts reflect transactions for which there is no "quid pro quo"—such
as the export of agricultural commodities under
aid programs, the remittances of funds by immigrants, and debt forgiveness—and thus have no
offsetting entries except those made in the current and capital transfers accounts. In contrast,
entries for transactions other than transfers have
offsetting entries in the current and financial accounts. For example, exports of goods give rise to
payments from, or claims on, foreign residents,
and imports of goods give rise to payments by
U.S. residents, or liabilities to, foreign residents.
Another change intended to provide a more focused picture of different types of international
transactions is the reclassification, within the current account, of compensation of employees from
the services account to the income account. Reclassifying the compensation of employees places
all income together, whether it be a return to labor or capital, while at the same time providing
a more accurate picture of trade in services.
Capital transfers.—The newly defined capital account consists of capital transfers and the acquisition and disposal of nonproduced nonfinancial
assets. The major types of capital transfers are
debt forgiveness and migrants' transfers (goods
and financial assets accompanying migrants as
they leave or enter the country); capital transfers also include the transfer of title to fixed
assets, the transfer of funds linked to the sale
or acquisition of fixed assets, gift and inheri-

tance taxes, death duties, uninsured damage to
fixed assets, and legacies. The acquisition and disposal of nonproduced nonfinancial assets includes
sales and purchases of nonproduced assets, such
as the rights to natural resources, and sales and
purchases of intangible assets, such as patents,
copyrights, trademarks, franchises, and leases.
Generally, capital transfers result in a change in
the stock of assets of an economy, while current
transfers affect the level of disposable income and
influence the consumption of goods and services.
Although conceptually important, capitalaccount transactions are believed to be generally
small for the United States; however, they are
important to other countries, and they also may
occasionally be significant for the United States,
especially in the case of debt forgiveness and
the transfer of major U.S. Government assets.
Furthermore, extensive source data from which
to prepare reliable estimates are not available.
Therefore, the new capital account includes, for
capital transfers^ only estimates of U.S. Government debt forgiveness, which are shown as an
outflow, and limited estimates of immigrants'
transfers, which are shown as an inflow. Both
of these items were previously included in the
current account. Estimates of other types of capital transfers have not been developed, because of
the lack of source data. Capital transactions in
nonproduced nonfinancial assets are believed to be
small. The accounts include only small amounts
for purchases and sales of rights to natural resources and for purchases and sales of franchises.
No details for the new capital account are shown,
because the estimates are small and incomplete.
Some capital transactions, such as the transfer of funds linked to the sale or acquisition
of fixed assets, remain in the current account

Acknowledgments
The revised estimates were prepared under the general direction of Anthony DiLullo, with the assistance
of Paul Farello, Truetella Fuller, and other staff of
the Balance of Payments Division. Douglas Weinberg
prepared the new estimates of the current-cost adjustment, Harlan King, the benchmark estimates of U.S.
portfolio investment abroad; Steve Baldwin, the new
estimates of compensation of nonagricultural workers
and of medical services receipts; Michael Mann and
Joan Bolyard, the revised estimates of travel payments;
William McCormick, the new estimates of immigrant's
transfers; Barbara Berman, the new identification of securities brokers' and dealers' financial transactions in
tables 8 and 9; and Kwok Lee, Emily Huske, and the




staff of the Goods Branch, the revised estimates of
goods.
The revisions to the estimates of U.S. direct investment
abroad were prepared under the supervision of Patricia
Walker of the International Investment Division (IID),
and the revisions to the estimates of foreign direct investment in the United States were prepared under the
supervision of Gregory Fouch of IID.
Special assistance was provided by William L. Griever
of the Federal Reserve Board, who conducted the benchmark survey of U.S. portfolio investment abroad, and
by Diane Oberg and the staff of the Bureau of the Census' Foreign Trade Division, who conducted the study of
"residual" seasonally of goods.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
because they cannot be disentangled from other
current-account transactions. Others remain in
the current account because they are conceptually difficult to classify as either current or capital
transactions. However, large transactions will
be judged on a case-by-case basis and classified as capital transactions if they clearly fit the
definition of capital transactions.
Other changes in presentation.—Several other
modifications are made to the presentation of the
accounts. In table 1 of the standard presentation
of the U.S. international transactions accounts,
lines 1 and 18 have been relabeled, but their content has not changed. In addition, subtotals for
exports of goods and services and for imports
of goods and services (lines 2 and 19) have been
added, in order to correspond with the balance
on goods and services (line 73) in the memoranda
items and for ease of use of the tables.
Unilateral transfers are now split between current transfers and capital transfers to accommodate the division of the accounts into a
current account, a capital account, and a financial
account.
The income account now contains two components: Investment income receipts and payments
on assets and liabilities, and compensation of
employees.
The terminology for lines 40 and 55 in table 1 of
the standard presentation is clarified to indicate
the ownership of assets, as well as the location of
the resident entities.
The initial allocation of special drawing rights
is removed from the transactions accounts and
included more appropriately in the investment
position accounts.
In tables 8 and 9, the activities of U.S. securities
brokers and dealers are now separately identified, permitting more accurate measurement of
financial flows of U.S.-owned and foreign-owned
banks.
In table 1 of the standard presentation, the
sequence of lines 66 and 67 has been reversed
from the previous presentation to permit the
juxtaposition of transactions in securities.
Redefinition of services and income
Compensation of employees, which was previously included indistinguishably in services, is
now reclassified to the income account. Consequently, the income account now contains
two components—investment income receipts and
payments on assets and liabilities, and compensation of employees, which includes wages, salaries,

and other benefits, in cash or in kind, earned
by or received from individuals in countries
other than those in which they are residents.
This reclassification removes a reconciliation item
between the U.S. international transactions accounts and the U.S. national income and product
accounts, and it removes one of the few remaining differences between the U.S. presentation and
international guidelines.
Compensation receipts.—Three components are
reclassified to compensation receipts: Compensation receipts of U.S. residents employed temporarily abroad, compensation receipts of U.S.
residents employed by international organizations in the United States (such as the World
Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the
United Nations), and compensation receipts of
U.S. residents employed by embassies and consulates of foreign governments in the United
States.
Compensation receipts of U.S. residents employed temporarily abroad are based on estimates
provided by statistical offices in the United Kingdom, Germany, and Canada. For 1998, these
receipts totaled $0.2 billion.
Compensation receipts of U.S. residents employed by international organizations are estimated by multiplying the number of U.S. residents employed by these organizations by an
estimate of their average compensation. The
number of U.S. employees was provided by the
international organizations. For 1998, the value
of these transactions was $1.5 billion. Receipts are
gross of U.S. and foreign income taxes withheld.
Previously, this item was implicitly covered as
part of an aggregate estimate of all expenditures
by these organizations in the United States.
Compensation receipts of U.S. residents employed by embassies and consulates of foreign
governments in the United States are estimated
as a share of earnings of all workers employed in
the United States by foreign governments (mainly
residents of their home country). The estimate
was based on information provided by several
embassies on compensation paid to U.S. residents
and on information provided by the Department of State on the number of diplomatic and
nondiplomatic personnel employed by all embassies and consulates in the United States. For
1998, the value of these transactions was $0.2
billion. Receipts are gross of U.S. and foreign
income taxes withheld. Previously, this item was
implicitly covered as part of an aggregate estimate
of all expenditures by these organizations in the
United States.

Compensation payments,—-Four components are
reclassified to compensation payments: Compensation paid to Canadian and Mexican workers
who commute to work in the United States,
compensation paid to foreign students studying at colleges and universities in the United
States, compensation paid to foreign professionals temporarily residing in the United States,
and compensation paid to temporary agricultural
workers. The amount reclassified was $4.6 billion
in 1998. Payments are gross of U.S. and foreign taxes withheld. To this amount is added a
new component—compensation paid to foreign
temporary nonagricultural workers, which is discussed in a separate section. Its value in 1998
was $2.5 billion. These five components make up
total compensation payments.

proved estimates of economic depreciation and
improved estimates of charges taken by direct
investment affiliates for depreciation, depletion,
and expensed exploration and development expenditures (table 3).2 The difference between
economic depreciation, which is computed using
consistent service lives and prices of the current period, and depreciation reported by direct
investment affiliates using financial accounting
principles is one part of the current-cost adjustment. Additions to reported earnings for
charges taken by direct investment affiliates for
depletion and for expensed exploration and development expenditures are additional parts of
the current-cost adjustment.
The revised estimates of economic depreciation reflect an improved method for calculating
economic depreciation that is consistent with the
method used in the national income and product
accounts, an improved treatment of transfers of
used equipment and structures by direct investment affiliates, improved separate estimates of
equipment and structures investment by affiliates,
shortened service lives for equipment and structures stocks in some foreign countries, revised
prices for equipment and structures investment

Historical revisions.—In essence, the reclassification of compensation results in a redefinition
of the services account and the income account.
Consequently, services receipts and payments, income receipts and payments, and the balance
on services and the balance on income are restated for 1986-98; source data to make this
reclassification for earlier years are not available.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
in the United States and in foreign countries,
and revised investment data for direct investment
affiliates.3 The improved estimates of charges
taken by direct investment affiliates for depreciation, depletion, and expensed exploration and
development expenditures reflect revised data
reported by affiliates and improved interpolation procedures for years in which data are not
reported.

ferred into direct investment affiliates to have
remaining service lives and exposures to equipment and structures price changes that were too
long. The previous treatment for used equipment and structures that were transferred out of
direct investment affiliates caused equipment and
structures that remained in affiliates to have remaining service lives and exposures to equipment
and structures price changes that were too short.

Improved method for calculating economic depreciation.—The improved method for calculating
economic depreciation was developed using empirical evidence on prices of used equipment and
structures in resale markets that shows that depreciation for most types of assets approximates
a geometric pattern. Previously, economic depreciation estimates were derived using straight-line
depreciation and assumed patterns of retirements. For equipment, the new depreciation
rates are faster than the old ones in the early years
of an asset's life and slower in the later years.
For structures, the new rates are slower throughout an asset's life. As a result, the revisions
from the improved method are relatively small
for equipment and relatively large for structures.

Improved separate estimates of equipment and
structures investment.—The revised estimates of
economic depreciation reflect improved separate
estimates of equipment and structures investment by direct investment affiliates. Separate
estimates of this investment are needed to implement the perpetual-inventory method, but direct
investment affiliates report only their combined
investment in equipment and structures to BEA.
Improved separate estimates are derived by applying relationships between equipment and structures spending in the U.S. economy that vary over
time to combined investment reported by affiliates. Previously, separate estimates were derived
by applying relationships between equipment and
structures spending that were fixed at one point
in time. The previous method was inaccurate
because the composition of investment between
equipment and structures spending changes over
time.
Inaccuracies in the disaggregation of
investment can lead to inaccuracies in the estimates of economic depreciation and gross and
net stocks generated by the perpetual-inventory
method, because equipment and structures investment have different depreciation rates and
price indexes.

Improved treatment of transfers of used equipment
and structures.—Estimates of economic depreciation are computed using a perpetual-inventory
method that calculates estimates of the currentcost value of the net stock of equipment and
structures on direct investment affiliates' balance
sheets as follows. The historical-cost value of the
gross stock of equipment and structures is computed using past and current values of equipment
and structures investment by direct investment
affiliates. If the historical-cost value of the
gross stock of equipment and structures using
this method differs from the historical-cost value
of the gross stock of equipment and structures
reported by affiliates for a particular year, the difference is treated as a transfer of used equipment
and structures into or out of direct investment affiliates for that year, and the historical-cost value
using the method is recomputed. Previously, any
difference for a particular year was treated as
an addition to or subtraction from investment
in new equipment and structures for that year,
and the historical-cost value using the method
was recomputed. The previous treatment caused
used equipment and structures that were trans3. For a description of the method used to compute economic depreciation, also known as the consumption of fixed capital, in the national income
and product accounts, see Arnold J. Katz and Shelby Herman, "Improved
Estimates of Fixed Reproducible Tangible Wealth, 1929-95," SURVEY 77 (May
1997): 69-74.

Shortening of equipment and structures service
lives.—The revised estimates of economic depreciation for U.S. direct investment abroad reflect
a shortening of equipment and structures service
lives for some foreign countries and regions in the
perpetual-inventory method. This change was
made because a comparison of annual historicalcost depreciation using the method with that
reported by foreign affiliates of U.S. parents revealed that annual historical-cost depreciation
using the method was lower than that reported by
foreign affiliates, and net stock using the method
was higher than net stock reported by foreign
affiliates, in all years for which reported data
exist. One possible reason for these discrepancies is that the foreign service lives used in the
method were too long relative to the service lives
used by foreign affiliates to compute depreciation
for their financial accounts. Because empirical

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
data on equipment and structures service lives
for smaller industrial countries and for nonindustrial countries are severely limited, the service
lives for these countries used in the method are
largely judgmental estimates. In light of the
discrepancies noted above, some of the more
judgmental estimates of foreign service lives were
shortened. This action closed most of the gap
between annual historical-cost depreciation using
the method and that reported by foreign affiliates.
Revised price and investment data.—The revised
estimates of economic depreciation also reflect
revised prices for equipment and structures investment in the United States and in foreign
countries and revised investment data reported
by direct investment affiliates.
The revised
prices for equipment and structures investment
in the United States partly reflect revisions to
the distribution of asset types by industry in
BEA'S estimates of U.S. fixed reproducible tangible
wealth.4
Historical revisions.—Revisions to the currentcost adjustment are made for 1982-98. For U.S.
direct investment aborad, the adjustment for 1998
is revised up from $8.5 billion to $11.2 billion,
thereby raising income receipts and the offsetting outflows in the capital accounts. For foreign
direct investment in the United States, the adjustment is revised up from $3.4 billion to $4.4
billion, thereby raising income payments and the
offsetting inflows in the capital accounts.
Other private income receipts
The Department of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve System's Board of Governors recently
provided to BEA preliminary results of their 1997
benchmark survey of U.S. portfolio investment
in foreign long-term securities. This benchmark
survey was a followup of a similar survey as of
March 1994 and was conducted as part of coordinated portfolio surveys by 29 countries under
the auspices of the International Monetary Fund.
The survey collected data on the aggregate
market value and composition of foreign longterm securities owned by U.S. residents as of
December 31, 1997. Long-term securities include
bonds with original maturities of more than 1
year, all equities, and warrants and rights to
purchase bonds and equities.
Both custodians and investors were surveyed to
ensure comprehensiveness. Custodians located in
the United States who managed the safe-keeping
4. Katz and Herman, "Improved Estimates," 71.




of $20 million or more in foreign long-term securities for themselves or on behalf of other U.S.
residents were covered; most foreign securities are
held by U.S. custodians or sub-custodians. Investors located in the United States who owned
foreign long-term securities of $20 million were
also surveyed.
Summary-level data from investors were compared with detailed data collected from custodians, both to check on the completeness of
coverage and to eliminate duplication of coverage. In all, 2,200 custodians and investors
participated in the survey. Survey data were
collected on an individual security basis by international security identification number or a
national numbering identification code. The
final survey data will be aggregated by industry, by country, by type of security, by type of
instrument, and by currency.
Preliminary results of the survey show larger
U.S. holdings than previously estimated. The
total value of foreign bond and stock holdings
as of December 31, 1997, was $1,739.4 billion,
or $293.1 billion higher than BEA'S estimate of
$1,446.3 billion, BEA'S estimates of yearend positions for 1994-97 are revised to incorporate the
survey results. The 20-percent understatement
in the estimated position is a strong reason for
more frequent benchmark surveys, because serious erosion of the quality of the estimates can
occur rather quickly.
Annual positions since the 1994 benchmark
survey are estimated by measuring subsequent
changes in U.S. holdings of foreign securities and
changes in their valuation. Given the dynamics
of securities markets from March 1994 to December 1997, both factors probably contributed to the
understatement of the position.
During the period, net purchases and gross
trading of foreign stocks by U.S. residents increased at unprecedented rates, bolstered by the
substantial foreign diversification of U.S. institutional investors' portfolios. In addition, U.S.
investors' direct access to foreign markets and
to foreign money managers was considerably enhanced by advances in automated trading systems
and telecommunications and by market deregulation overseas. This direct overseas access
compounded the problems of accurate measurement and coverage, particularly for a statistical
collection system that is based primarily on
the collection of data from traditional financial
intermediaries.
Valuation changes were also difficult to measure. Since 1994, stock price appreciation has

July 1999 •

67

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
been especially large in stock markets around
the world, and the substantial price gains could
only be estimated from national market averages,
which were limited to national weights based on
the geographic holdings that were reported in the
1994 benchmark survey. The foreign currency depreciation in foreign securities in U.S. portfolios
was insignificant, and most of it was the result of
the decline in Asian currencies in 1997. However,
exchange markets were volatile, and the foreign
currency composition of asset holdings is difficult
to assess.
Foreign bonds.—The benchmark survey estimate
of U.S. holdings of foreign bonds is $538.4 billion
at yearend 1997, compared with BEA'S previous
estimate of $445.0 billion.
BEA uses separate estimation procedures
for dollar-denominated and foreign currencydenominated bonds. This division reflects the
conventions used by BEA for estimating both
positions and income. However, the preliminary results of the survey do not yet provide
this division by currency, so an evaluation of estimation procedures cannot be attempted until
the survey's final results on geography, currency,
maturity structure, and type of instrument are
available. However, the geographic distribution
of holdings is similar in both the preliminary
survey results and in BEA'S estimates, except
for a few large discrepancies in major market
countries where bonds of all countries can be
traded. The survey revealed significantly higher
holdings of British, German, Italian, Canadian,
Latin American and International financial institution bonds than were estimated by BEA.
Conversely, BEA overestimated the holdings of
French, Swiss, Dutch, Spanish, and Asian emerging market bonds. This geographic disparity is
largely attributable to the difficulty in tracking
globally issued bonds by transactor rather than
by debtor, particularly in major market countries
where bonds of all countries can be traded.
The increase in reported bond holdings in the
survey has resulted in a re-estimation of associated interest receipts. Receipts are estimated
by applying market yields to revised portfolio
holdings. As a result of the improved estimates,
interest income receipts on bonds are revised up
$5.5 billion, to $33.9 billion, for 1997.
Foreign stocks.—The benchmark survey estimate
of U.S. holdings of foreign stocks is $1,201.0
billion at yearend 1997, compared with BEA'S
previous estimate of $1,001.3 billion. As with
foreign bonds, the primary reasons for underes-

timation are incomplete coverage of transactions
and inexact valuation, largely as a result of
the dramatic growth in worldwide equity values since March 1994 and the slump in stock
prices and exchange rates of several emerging
market countries late in 1997. The survey showed
significantly larger holdings of French, German,
Italian, Dutch, Swiss, Latin American, Japanese,
and Asian emerging-market stocks than were estimated by BEA. Conversely, BEA'S estimates of
British and Canadian stocks were overestimated.
In the British case, the London market serves as
an exchange for stocks of nearly all countries,
and transactions in foreign stocks on the London
exchange are not necessarily all in British stocks.
The increase in reported stock holdings in the
survey has resulted in a re-estimation of the associated dividend receipts, which are estimated by
applying market rates to portfolio holdings. As
a result of the improved estimates, dividend income receipts are revised up $2.7 billion, to $28.0
billion, for 1997.
Historical revisions.—In order to avoid a major
break in series, the position estimates for bonds
and stocks, and for the related interest and dividend flows, were carried backward from yearend
1997 to March 1994, the date of the previous
benchmark. The adjustment is based on the
cumulative volume of trading over the period.
Medical services receipts
Estimates of receipts for medical services provided to foreign residents at U.S. hospitals are
revised for 1995-98, using a revised methodology
and newly available source data.
The original methodology and estimates covering 1985 were based on information obtained
from hospital administrators at major medical
centers, university hospitals, and hospitals in major foreign visitor destinations. New York and
Boston hospitals were tabulated separately using
data from a published report. In addition, a
judgmental estimate was made for hospital patients not covered above. Estimates of admissions
were multiplied by an estimated average hospital
charge and by an estimate for outside physicians'
fees that ranged from 30 to 40 percent of the average hospital charges. Outpatient treatment was
considered negligible, and expenditures for ambulatory treatment and drugs provided outside a
hospital were not covered. The estimate for 1985
was extrapolated forward with the price indexes
for hospital and physicians' services in the U.S.
consumer price index.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
Inpatient estimates.—Estimates based on a revised methodology were prepared by obtaining
information on hospital inpatients (patients who
spent at least one night at the hospital) from
State regulatory agencies, hospital associations,
and hospitals with international medical centers.
Information for the 16 States that contained the
great majority of foreign patients was obtained
from regulatory agencies in 9 States, from hospitals in 5 States, and from hospital associations in 2
States. The regulatory agencies and hospital associations developed their information from special
codes in their accounting systems that identified
most foreigners. Inpatient charges—which covered all hospital staff physicians' fees, tests, drugs,
and room and board—were available for nine
States, and the weighted average of these charges
was used for the States where charges were not
available. An addition of 25 percent for outside
physicians' fees was made based on data provided
by individual hospitals.
An estimate of foreign inpatients in the remaining 34 States and the District of Columbia
was also made. These inpatients are largely those
admitted through emergency rooms. Ratios of
foreigners admitted through emergency rooms,
for the several States who supplied this information from hospital admission records, to total
foreign visitors by State, available from the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), were
calculated. An average of these ratios was applied
to total INS data on foreign visitors to each of the
34 States in order to estimate the total number
of foreigners admitted to hospitals through emergency rooms in these 34 States. It was assumed
that the number of foreigners who came specifically to those States to receive medical services
was negligible. The weighted average of hospital charges estimated above for nine States and
adjusted for outside physicians' fees was applied
to the foreign inpatients admitted through emergency rooms to obtain total inpatient charges for
this type of treatment.
Outpatient estimates.—Outpatient treatment has
increased dramatically since 1985. Foreign patients receive a range of outpatient services, including outpatient surgery, physical rehabilitation
and therapy, dermatology and AIDS treatments,
and consultations. Individual hospitals provided
approximate data on the number of outpatients
and on the associated charges per outpatient.
Ratios of outpatients to inpatients and the outpatient charges were applied to the individual State
inpatient data to calculate the total outpatient
charges.




Total receipts.—Total medical receipts from foreign patients were derived by summing the inpatient charges from the 16 primary States, the
inpatient charges from the other 34 States and the
District of Columbia, and the outpatient charges.
Like the original methodology, this methodology does not cover expenditures for ambulatory
treatment and drugs provided outside a hospital.
Estimates for 1998 forward are extrapolated using
the consumer price index for hospitals and related services and a judgmental factor to account
for changes in the number of foreign patients.
The mix of inpatient and outpatient treatments
is held constant.
Annual revisions to medical receipts in 1995-98
were small—$16 million in 1995, $132 million in
1996, $224 million in 1997, and $318 million in
1998—indicating that the original methodology
was adequate. The total number of foreign patients is estimated at about 35,000 in 1985. The
total number of foreign patients grew to about
135,000 in 1997.
Overseas travel payments
Estimates of U.S. residents' expenditures while
traveling overseas are revised to incorporate the
results of a one-time survey by D.K. Shifflet covering 1998. The results of this survey, which was
completed by U.S. residents after they returned
home from their trip, were compared with the results of the International Trade Administration's
ongoing in-flight survey that BEA uses to measure
U.S. travelers' expenditures, which is completed
by travelers on their flights as they depart the
United States.
BEA used the one-time survey to determine
the relationship between a U.S. traveler's expected expenditures and that traveler's post-trip
reported expenditures by comparing expected
per-person per-day expenditures with post-trip
expenditures for three major regions: Europe;
Asia and Pacific; and Latin America and Other
Western Hemisphere (excluding Mexico). The
results of this comparison indicate that U.S.
travelers' expected expenditures in Latin America understated post-trip reported expenditures
by 8 percent, expected expenditures in the Asia
and Pacific region understated post-trip reported
expenditures by 5 percent, and expected expenditures in Europe neither understated nor
overstated post-trip reported expenditures.
BEA has adjusted its estimates from the ongoing survey to correct for these understatements in
1998. These adjustments raise travel payments by
$1.7 billion. Limited information indicates that

July 1999 •

69

70

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

• July 1999




the differences between expected and post-trip
expenditures to Latin America and to the Asia
and Pacific region narrow before 1998. Therefore, BEA has adjusted its 1997 estimates of travel
payments using one-half the value of the adjustments in 1998. BEA has not adjusted its estimates
for the years before 1997.
It is self-evident that expected expenditures
may not accurately represent actual expenditures
abroad. However, post-trip expenditures are also
a particularly difficult item to report accurately,
especially when the survey is conducted as much
as 3 months after the completion of the trip. Expenditures abroad involve numerous payments
using various payment methods, such as credit
cards, U.S. currency, foreign currency, travelers
checks, and prepayments. Most travelers probably do not maintain sufficiently detailed records
and may lack the time required to conduct a
careful accounting. Moreover, travelers may not
readily know the converted dollar value of credit
card transactions made in foreign currencies until
they receive their bills.
Therefore, the results of this one-time survey should not be treated as conclusive. In
addition to the difficulties cited above, the sample size of the one-time survey was small; the
relation of the one-time sample to the ongoing sample used by BEA is unknown; and the
relationship between expected and actual expenditures may vary over time, BEA will periodically
reassess the relationship between expected and
actual expenditures.
U.S. Government grants
The estimates of U.S. Government grants are revised up as a result of more complete inclusion
of freight charges for the shipment of commodities, largely to developing countries, for 1989-98.
Congressional appropriations for foreign assistance include funds for shipment, as well as funds
for the commodities donated, but statistical reporting systems failed to accurately capture the
freight charges. The improvement raises estimates of U.S. Government grants by more than
$0.5 billion annually for 1992-95; thereafter, the
revisions are small, totaling $0.1 billion in 1998.
Compensation of temporary nonagricultural
workers
Compensation of foreign residents employed
temporarily in the United States is revised for
1986-98 to include the earnings of temporary
undocumented nonagricultural workers (that is,

workers who are illegally in the United States
with no work authorization), whose primary residence is usually Mexico. Until now, no estimates
of this compensation have been included in the
accounts.
Authorities on immigration agree that large
numbers of undocumented workers are employed
temporarily in the United States. Estimates
of these workers based on apprehensions data
from the INS are very approximate and do not
provide a reliable basis for earnings estimates.
However, data for 1990-95 indicate a moderately stable relationship between the number of
undocumented nonagricultural workers and the
number of undocumented agricultural workers.5
This relationship forms the basis for the new
compensation estimates.
The estimate of total compensation of temporary undocumented nonagricultural workers is
calculated as the number of such workers multiplied by the annual hours worked and their
average hourly wage. For all years, the number
of workers is calculated by multiplying the number of undocumented agricultural workers by the
ratio of nonagricultural to agricultural workers
indicated by the surveys. Based on other survey
data, annual employment per year is estimated at
approximately 1,000 hours. The average wage is
estimated based on evidence that undocumented
workers generally earn above the minimum wage,
but below the prevailing wage rate of legal workers in any given occupation. For 1996, an average
wage rate based on a published study of migrant
labor in San Diego County is used. For other
years, this wage rate is extrapolated by an average of wage rates published by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics for occupations often filled by
undocumented workers.
For 1998, compensation was $2.5 billion; for
1986, it was $1.0 billion. Temporary undocumented nonagricultural workers totaled about
400,000 in 1998, double the estimated 200,000 in
1986.
Immigrants' transfers
Immigrants' transfers are a key component of
the new capital account. New estimates of the
amount of wealth that immigrants bring with
them when they enter the United States have been
developed for 1982-98. The estimates are based
on the number of individuals immigrating to the
5. See Mexico-United States Binational Commission, "Characteristics of Mexican-Born Migrants," in Migration Between Mexico and the
United States: A Report on the Binational Study on Immigration (online, <www.utexas.edu/lbj/uscir/binational.html>, 1997). See also Douglas S.
Massey, Mexican Migration Project (University of Pennsylvania, 1996).

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

United States each year, the per capita gross domestic product (GDP) of their home country, and
wealth-to-income ratios.
Immigrants entering the United States include
both legal and undocumented foreign-born individuals who expect to reside in the United States
for more than 1 year. Legal immigration totals
by country of birth and year of entry are from
the INS, and estimates of undocumented foreignborn individuals are based on INS published
work, BEA estimates these totals for 1996-98. Annual immigration flows are estimated for over
200 countries.
Annual per capita GDP, converted into U.S. dollars, is used as a proxy estimate of income for
immigrants from each country for each year of
entry, GDP and population estimates are from the
United Nations and the International Monetary
Fund.
The wealth-to-income relationships were derived from periodic current population reports
from the Bureau of the Census, based on a
longitudinal study on wealth and asset ownership of households in the United States for
1933, 1988, 1991, and 1993. The Census Bureau sample for these reports is thought to more
closely resemble the characteristics of the newly
arriving immigrant population than the sample
in the Federal Reserve Board's survey of consumer finance. However, the Federal Reserve
Board's survey would have yielded similar results.
For each quintile of the population, the Census Bureau study provided estimates of median
household income and wealth. The quintile estimates of median income and wealth for the
population with an average age under 35 years
were applied to the immigrant population, whose
average age is also under 35.
In order to arrive at estimates of immigrant transfers, the number of immigrants from
each country for each year is multiplied by
the associated per capita GDP of each country
converted into U.S. dollars, with the resulting
product for each country further multiplied by
the wealth-to-income ratio derived from U.S.
relationships.
Several assumptions and adjustments are made.
First, because the INS data indicate that the average age of immigrants is under 35, it is assumed
that the wealth-to-income ratio from the same
under-35 average age group in the United States
is the most appropriate ratio to apply. Second,
the wealth-to-income ratio based on Census Bureau data is halved to adjust the U.S. household
statistics of the census surveys to the nature of the




immigrant population, INS data show that about
50 percent of immigrants are heads of households
and about 50 percent are individuals joining family members already in the United States. The
downward adjustment of the ratio captures the
larger wealth of heads of households but recognizes that individuals joining families are likely to
have less wealth than heads of households. Third,
the wealth-to-income ratio for immigrants from
Mexico and Central America is lowered further,
based on the assumption that many are from
lower income strata and consequently have fewer
assets upon arrival in the United States.
"Residual" seasonality
BEA and the Bureau of the Census seasonally
adjust estimates of goods exports and goods
imports at the five-digit end-use commodity category level, which is the most detailed level of
end-use classification available. Aggregate goods
series—total exports, total imports, and all major end-use categories—are derived as the sum
of detailed seasonally adjusted series. Comparisons of the directly adjusted series with the
corresponding series that are derived as the sum
of individually seasonally adjusted series show
differences that are sometimes called "residual''
seasonality.
With the introduction of seasonal factors newly
developed this year, "residual" seasonality of exports is reduced by more than 50 percent from
what it would be if old seasonal factors were used.
The new seasonal factors also lead to a total export series that exhibits a lower average quarterly
change and a lower average absolute quarterly
change. The new total export series, as compared
with the old, is smoother and shows smaller exports in the fourth quarter and larger exports in
the third quarter in recent years. Aircraft exports
continue to be seasonally adjusted. Application
of new seasonal factors to total imports resulted
in little change in the "residual" seasonality of
imports.
The process that BEA and the Bureau of the
Census use to develop seasonally adjusted estimates is complex and detailed. Over 300 series
are tested for seasonality each year. Tests are
conducted using the X-12 ARIMA program, which
provides the diagnostic measures used in making
both seasonal adjustment and trading-day adjustment decisions. Currently, based on diagnostics
developed for each individual series, more than
96 percent of the value of total exports and 97
percent of the value of total imports receive at
least one type of adjustment. About 125 of 150

July 1999

72 • July 1999




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
export series and 130 of 150 import series receive
at least one adjustment.
Revised estimates of goods exports and goods
imports for 1996-98 are published both in
BEA'S international transactions accounts and in

the joint Census Bureau-BEA press release on
monthly goods and services. The revisions to the
quarterly estimates are mostly due to the newly
introduced seasonal factors.

quarter of 1998 (table A, chart 1).1 The increase
was more than accounted for by a large increase
in the deficit on goods that resulted from a decrease in exports and an increase in imports.
Partly offsetting was a small increase in the surplus on services, a small decrease in the deficit on
income, and a decrease in net unilateral current
transfers.
In the financial account, net recorded financial inflows—the difference between changes in

The international transactions accounts have been revised
to reflect the incorporation of methodological and statistical
improvements. In addition, some types of transactions have
been reclassifiedy and some table formats have been changed.
For a discussion of these changes, see "U.S. International
Transactions, Revised Estimates for 1982-98" in this issue.

HE u.s. current-account deficit—the balance
on trade in goods and services, the balance
on income, and net unilateral current transfers—
increased to $68.6 billion in the first quarter of
1999 from $61.7 billion (revised) in the fourth

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

U.S.-owned assets abroad and changes in foreignowned assets in the United States—were $84.1
billion in the first quarter, down from $99.2 billion (revised) in the fourth. Financial inflows for
foreign-owned assets in the United States slowed
sharply, and transactions in U.S.-owned assets
abroad shifted to financial inflows.
The statistical discrepancy—errors and omissions in recorded transactions—was a negative
$15.7 billion in the first quarter, compared with a
negative $37.7 billion in the fourth.
The following are highlights for the first
quarter of 1999:
• Exports of goods decreased sharply after a
fourth-quarter surge, and imports of goods
continued to increase.
• Direct investment income receipts and payments both increased, and other income
receipts and payments changed little or
decreased.
• Net U.S.-owned assets abroad decreased for
the first time since the second quarter of 1991.
• U.S. transactions in foreign securities shifted
to net sales from substantial net purchases
in the fourth quarter that resulted from
two large fourth-quarter acquisitions of U.S.
companies by foreign companies through exchanges of stock. Net foreign purchases of
U.S. securities slowed as a result of a shift to
net foreign sales of U.S. Treasury securities.
• U.S. banks' claims on foreigners and U.S.
banks' liabilities to foreigners both decreased
for the second consecutive quarter. The
first-quarter decreases largely reflected the re-

duction of positions with U.S. banks' own
foreign offices.
U.S. dollar in exchange markets
In the first quarter, the U.S. dollar appreciated 1
percent on a nominal, trade-weighted quarterly
average basis against a group of 26 currencies of important U.S. trading partners (table B,
chart 2). Within the broad group, the dollar was
unchanged against a group of 7 currencies that
trade widely in international markets, including the Canadian dollar, the euro, the Japanese
yen, the British pound, the Swiss franc, the Australian dollar, and the Swedish krona. The dollar
appreciated 2 percent against a group of the remaining 19 currencies, including the currencies
of U.S. trading partners in Latin America, Asia,
the Middle East, and Eastern Europe (see table B
for definitions). Trading conditions in foreign

Revisions to the Estimates for the Fourth Quarter of 1998
The preliminary current-account balance and component estimates for the
fourth quarter of 1998 were revised to incorporate improved methodologies,
newly available source data, and changes to the presentation of the accounts
(see "U.S. International Transactions, Revised Estimates for 1982-1998" in this
issue). The current-account deficit for the fourth quarter was revised to $61.7
billion from $63.8 billion. The goods deficit was revised to $63.6 billion from
$62.3 billion (based on new seasonal factors and updated Census Bureau data).
The services surplus was revised to $20.3 billion from $19.3 billion (based on
improved methodologies, newly available source data, and the reclassification
of employee compensation). The deficit on income was revised to $4.9 billion
from $7.8 billion (based on updated survey data, updated capital flow and
position data, improved estimates of the current-cost adjustment, and the reclassification of employee compensation). Net unilateral current transfers were
revised to $13.5 billion from $13.0 billion (based on improved methodologies,
newly available source data, and the reclassification of capital transfers).
Net financial inflows and their components were revised to $99.2 billion
from $94.3 billion.

exchange markets stabilized in the first quarter
after being disrupted in the third and fourth
quarters of 1998 by uncertainties related to the
financial problems in Russia and Brazil.
On January 1,1999, the third stage of the European Economic and Monetary Union began with
the introduction of the euro as the currency used
in financial markets by the 11 third-stage countries. The U.S. dollar appreciated against the euro
throughout most of the first quarter, partly as

a result of the disparity between the prospects
for economic growth in the United States and
in the euro area countries. Data released during
the quarter indicated that the U.S. economy continued to grow strongly, but that the euro area
economy remained relatively weak. The spread

The Federal Reserve Board has developed new summary indexes of the foreign exchange value of the U.S.
dollar to replace the G—10 index. The new indexes
provide better measures of U.S. trade competitiveness
because they include a broader set of currencies and
because they are adjusted for the effects of inflation.
The new indexes also use a weighting scheme that better measures the competitiveness of U.S. goods in U.S.
and foreign markets and that takes into account the
changing structure of trade patterns and exchange rates.
Separate indexes for the broadest group of currencies,
for the major international currencies, and for the other
currencies included in the broadest group have been
developed. The nominal indexes for the three groups—
which have moved in mostly the same direction in
recent years, but which have diverged over periods
in the past—are useful for the analysis of short-term
developments in foreign exchange markets.

widened in favor of the dollar, partly as a result of a growing belief in financial markets that
the disparity between economic growth prospects
would lead to a tightening of monetary conditions in the United States relative to those in the
euro area.
The dollar appreciated against the Japanese yen
throughout much of the first quarter, partly as
a result of the disparity between the outlook
for economic growth in the United States and
in Japan. In the United States, indications of
economic strength were partly responsible for a
sharp rise in long-term interest rates. In Japan,
indications of continuing economic contraction
were partly responsible for a lowering of shortterm interest rates to nearly zero. In addition,
Japanese long-term interest rates began to decline
midway through the quarter after rising sharply
since the fourth quarter. The combination of the
decline in Japanese long-term interest rates and
the rise in U.S. long-term interest rates increased
the relative attractiveness of investing in U.S.
bonds and supported the dollar's appreciation.
The Brazilian real was devalued on January
13 despite the announcement in late 1998 of a
financial assistance package for Brazil by the International Monetary Fund. Because financial
market participants had already reduced Brazilian positions, reaction to the devaluation was
restrained, compared with the reaction to other
recent disturbances in emerging markets. Spreads
on emerging market bonds over U.S. Treasury
bonds widened immediately after the devaluation
but narrowed by the end of the quarter. How-

ever, spreads remained elevated from levels that
existed before the Russian currency devaluation
and debt moratorium in August 1998.

Current Account
Goods and services

The deficit on goods and services increased to
$53.8 billion in the first quarter from $43.3 billion
in the fourth. The increase was attributable to an
increase in the deficit on goods, to $74.2 billion
from $63.6 billion. The surplus on services edged
up to $20.4 billion from $20.3 billion.
Goods.—The deficit on goods increased $10.6 billion, to $74.2 billion, in the first quarter. The
increase resulted from a decrease in exports and
an increase in imports.
Exports.—Exports decreased $5.8 billion, or 4
percent, to $164.3 billion in the first quarter.
Quantities decreased 3 percent, and prices decreased 1 percent (table C).2 The value of exports
declined to essentially the same level as in the
third quarter of 1998, following a fourth-quarter
surge.
In the first quarter, nonagricultural exports
decreased $4.1 billion, or 3 percent, to $152.5 billion; quantities decreased 2 percent, and prices
changed little.

commodity categories decreased. Most of the
decrease in capital goods was attributable to a
drop in civilian aircraft, which had surged in the
last two quarters of 1998; oil drilling, mining, and
construction machinery decreased sharply after
moderate declines in the previous five quarters,
and semiconductors increased strongly for the
third consecutive quarter. Nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials decreased, mostly as
a result of declines in nonmonetary gold, in fuel
products, and in chemicals. Automotive products decreased, following a fourth-quarter surge
that was mostly attributable to the resumption
of full production after a North American auto
strike.
Agricultural exports decreased $1.8 billion, or
13 percent, to $11.8 billion; quantities decreased
11 percent, and prices decreased 2 percent. In
value, most of the decrease was accounted for by
declines in raw cotton and in soybeans. The decline in raw cotton was particularly steep, partly
as a result of a fall in demand and the depletion
of funds available to support U.S. cotton exports
under a U.S. Government program.
Imports.—Imports increased $4.8 billion, or 2
percent, to $238.5 billion in the first quarter.
Quantities increased 3 percent, and prices decreased 1 percent (table C). The value of nonpetroleum imports continued to rise, and the
value of petroleum imports continued to fall.
Nonpetroleum imports increased $5.6 billion,
or 2 percent, to $227.9 billion; quantities increased
3 percent, and prices changed little. In value,
more than half of the increase was accounted
for by automotive products, which increased as
a result of increases in passenger cars, mostly
from Canada and Japan, and in trucks, buses,
and special purpose vehicles, mostly from Canada
and Mexico. Consumer goods were boosted by
a surge in nondurable goods, particularly medical, dental and pharmaceutical preparations from
Western Europe. In capital goods, there were
strong increases in computers, peripherals, and
parts, in semiconductors, and in telecommunications equipment. In contrast, nonpetroleum
industrial supplies and materials decreased, partly
as a result of a sharp decline in iron and steel
products for the second consecutive quarter.
Petroleum imports decreased $0.9 billion, or 8
percent, to $10.6 billion (chart 3). The decrease
was attributable to a decline in prices, which fell
from an average of $11.40 per barrel to $10.38,
the lowest quarterly level since the first quarter
of 1974. The value and average price of petroleum imports have decreased by about 50 percent




July 1999 •

since the fourth quarter of 1996. In the first quarter, the average number of barrels imported daily
increased to 11.20 million from 11.01 million.
Balances by area.—The deficit on goods with
Latin America and Other Western Hemisphere
increased $4.6 billion, to $6.1 billion, in the first
quarter, largely as a result of an increase in the
deficit with Mexico and a decrease in the surplus with Brazil.3 The deficit with Asia, excluding
Japan, increased $4.2 billion, to $31.9 billion, and
the deficit with Canada increased $3.6 billion, to
$9.0 billion. In contrast, the deficit with Western
Europe decreased $2.5 billion, to $8.5 billion, and
3. Seasonally adjusted estimates for areas and countries are derived by
applying seasonal factors for total U.S. agricultural and nonagricultural exports to the unadjusted agricultural and nonagricultural exports for areas and
countries and by applying seasonal factors for total U.S. petroleum and nonpetroleum imports to the unadjusted petroleum and nonpetroleum imports
for areas and countries. (The seasonal factors are derived from the seasonal
adjustment of U.S. exports and U.S. imports byfive-digitend-use commodity
category.) The components are then summed to derive seasonally adjusted
exports and imports for areas and countries.

the deficit with Japan decreased $0.1 billion, to
$17.6 billion.
Services.—The surplus on services increased $0.1
billion, to $20.4 billion, in the first quarter. Receipts increased to $67.8 billion from $66.8 billion,
and payments increased to $47.4 billion from
$46.5 billion.
Travel receipts increased to $18.1 billion from
$17.9 billion. The small increase was largely attributable to a rise in the number of overseas
visitors to the United States. Travel payments
increased to $14.6 billion from $14.1 billion as a
result of a rise in payments to overseas countries
and to Canada.
Passenger fare receipts edged up to $4.9 billion
from $4.8 billion, and passenger fare payments
edged up to $5.2 billion from $5.1 billion.
"Other" transportation receipts were virtually unchanged at $6.6 billion; both port expenditure receipts and freight receipts changed
little. "Other" transportation payments were unchanged at $7.8 billion; a small decrease in freight
payments was offset by a small increase in port
expenditure payments.
Receipts for "other" private services increased
to $24.1 billion from $23.2 billion. The increase
was more than accounted for by a rise in receipts
for business, professional, and technical services.
Payments for "other" private services edged up
to $12.4 billion from $12.3 billion.
Income
The deficit on income decreased to $4.7 billion in
the first quarter from $4.9 billion in the fourth.
Income receipts increased to $64.1 billion from
$63.1 billion, and income payments increased to
$68.9 billion from $68.0 billion.
Investment income.—Receipts of investment income on U.S.-owned assets abroad increased to
$63.7 billion from $62.6 billion, and payments of
investment income on foreign-owned assets in
the United States increased to $67.0 billion from
$66.2 billion.
Receipts of income on U.S. direct investment
abroad increased to $27.0 billion from $25.6 billion. The increase was largely accounted for
by increases in the earnings of finance affiliates,
mostly in Latin America, and of banking affiliates,
mostly in Europe and the Caribbean. Earnings
of petroleum affiliates rose slightly, but remained
depressed, partly as a result of low crude oil
prices. Earnings of manufacturing affiliates edged
up.

Payments of income on foreign direct investment in the United States increased to $12.4
billion from $11.1 billion. The increase was largely
accounted for by increases in the earnings of
manufacturing affiliates, particularly those owned
by Western European and Canadian companies,
and of insurance affiliates. Earnings of banking
affiliates decreased, largely as a result of a decline
in the earnings of Japanese-owned affiliates.
"Other" private income receipts decreased to
$35.8 billion from $36.0 billion. Decreases in receipts of interest on bank and nonbank claims,
resulting mostly from a decline in average yields,
more than offset an increase in receipts on foreign
securities.
"Other" private income payments decreased to
$31.9 billion from $32.4 billion. Decreases in payments of interest on bank and nonbank liabilities,
which resulted from declines in average liabilities outstanding and in average yields, more than
offset an increase in payments on U.S. securities.
U.S. Government income receipts decreased to
$0.9 billion from $1.0 billion, and U.S. Government income payments were unchanged at $22.7
billion.
Compensation of'employees.—As part of this year's
annual revision of the U.S. international transactions accounts, compensation of employees has
been reclassified to the income account from the
services account to reflect the fact that compensation of employees is more appropriately classified
as a return on a factor of production. For more
information on the reclassification, see "U.S. International Transactions, Revised Estimates for
1982-98" in this issue.
In the first quarter, receipts for employee
compensation were unchanged at $0.5 billion,
and payments for employee compensation edged
higher to $1.9 billion from $1.8 billion.
Unilateral current transfers
Unilateral transfers, which were previously
shown in the current account, have been split
into unilateral current transfers and unilateral
capital transfers. Unilateral current transfers remain in the current account. Unilateral capital
transfers—which are transfers of existing assets or
claims and so do not reflect current productionhave been reclassified to, but are not shown
separately in, the newly defined capital account.
For more information, see "U.S. International
Transactions, Revised Estimates for 1982-98" in

in the fourth. The decrease was more than accounted for by a decline in U.S. Government
grants, which were boosted in the fourth quarter
by grants to Israel.
Capital Account

U.S. official reserve assets.—Net U.S. official reserve assets decreased $4.1 billion in the first
quarter, in contrast to an increase of $2.4 billion
in the fourth (table D). The first-quarter decrease was largely attributable to payments of U.S.
dollars by foreign countries to the International
Monetary Fund (IMF) that exceeded the demand
for U.S. dollars through IMF member drawings,
which reduced the U.S. reserve position in the
IMF. In a transfer of assets that had no net effect
on U.S. official reserve assets, the United States
paid in euros the equivalent value of $3.7 billion
from U.S. foreign currency reserves to the IMF in
exchange for an equal increase in the U.S. reserve
position in the IMF; the payment of euros satisfied
the U.S. portion of an IMF quota increase that
must be paid in foreign currency reserve assets.

The capital account is a newly defined account
that is intended to capture capital transfers of existing assets and claims and the acquisition and
disposal of nonproduced nonfinancial assets. For
more information, see "U.S. International Transactions, Revised Estimates for 1982-98" in this
issue.
In the first quarter, net capital account
transactions—which consist mainly of debt forgiveness and transfers of goods and financial
assets by migrants as they enter or leave the
country—were unchanged at $0.2 billion.
Financial Account
The financial account had previously been shown
as the capital account. For more information,
see "U.S. International Transactions, Revised
Estimates for 1982-98" in this issue.
In the first quarter, net recorded financial inflows were $84.1 billion, down from $99.2 billion
in the fourth. Financial inflows for foreignowned assets in the United States slowed sharply,
and transactions in U.S.-owned assets abroad
shifted to financial inflows.

Claims reported by banks.—U.S. claims on foreigners reported by U.S. banks decreased $35.2
billion in the first quarter, following a decrease
of $37.2 billion in the fourth. In the first quarter, U.S. claims on foreigners in most areas of
the world decreased, partly as a result of weak
foreign demand for external bank credit, the curtailment of lending by U.S. banks to emerging
market countries, and an increase in the attractiveness to U.S. banks of investing in long-term
U.S. Government securities, which increased in
yield during the quarter, rather than extending
bank loans at short-term interest rates.
Banks' own claims payable in dollars decreased
$39.6 billion, following a decrease of $33.7 billion. The first-quarter decrease was more than

accounted for by the repayment of borrowings by
foreign banks to U.S. banks. U.S. claims on foreign public borrowers increased, partly as a result
of lending by U.S. securities brokers and dealers
to public borrowers in Western Europe and Asia.
Banks' own claims payable in foreign currencies increased $5.8 billion, following an increase
of $4.1 billion. The first-quarter increase was
more than accounted for by increases in claims
on Western Europe and on the Caribbean.
Banks' domestic customers' claims decreased
$1.4 billion, following a decrease of $7.6 billion.
In the first quarter, an increase in banks' domestic
customers' dollar deposits abroad was more than
offset by decreases in customers' other claims.
Foreign securities.—Net U.S. sales of foreign securities were $8.5 billion in the first quarter,
following net purchases of $70.8 billion in the
fourth quarter that included two exceptionally
large acquisitions of U.S. companies by foreign
companies through exchanges of stock. If the effects of these exchanges are excluded, net U.S.
sales of foreign stocks of $8.3 billion in the first
quarter are about a third greater than net U.S.
sales in the fourth quarter. Net U.S. sales of
foreign bonds were $0.1 billion, down from $8.6
billion.
Net U.S. sales of foreign stocks continued for
the third consecutive quarter. In the first quarter, net U.S. sales of foreign stocks in European
markets increased, partly as a result of U.S. investors' concerns that economic growth in some
euro area countries remained weak and that the
depreciation of the euro against the dollar would
lead to capital losses. In contrast, net U.S. purchases from Japan accelerated, as Japanese stock
prices rose sharply amid indications that Japanese
companies were intensifying their restructuring
efforts. Net U.S. purchases of other Asian stocks
increased modestly.
Net U.S. sales of foreign bonds were small, following moderate net sales in the last two quarters
of 1998, and gross trading volume continued to
decline from levels reached at the peak of last
year's global financial market turmoil. In the first
quarter, new foreign issues in the United States
were restrained by rising U.S. long-term interest rates and by the absence of borrowers from
Western Europe. Issuance by emerging market countries picked up, partly as a result of an
increase in borrowing by Latin American governments; issuance by corporations from emerging
markets remained depressed. Net U.S. sales of
outstanding bonds slowed, partly as a result of a
shift to net U.S. purchases from Japan.

Direct investment—Net financial outflows for
U.S. direct investment abroad were $38.3 billion
in the first quarter, up from $30.8 billion in
the fourth. The increase was largely accounted
for by an increase in net equity outflows that
partly resulted from acquisitions of manufacturing companies in Western Europe and from
equity outflows to existing foreign affiliates in
Australia, Indonesia, and Thailand. Reinvested
earnings increased as a result of a rise in affiliate earnings. In contrast, net intercompany debt
outflows decreased.
Foreign-owned assets in the United States
Net foreign-owned assets in the United States increased $74.9 billion in the first quarter, following
an increase of $149.8 billion in the fourth. The
sharp slowdown in financial inflows was more
than accounted for by a drop in net inflows for
foreign direct investment in the United States,
which were boosted in the fourth quarter by
the two exceptionally large acquisitions of U.S.
companies by foreign companies. First-quarter
inflows were also slowed by a shift to net foreign
sales of U.S. Treasury securities and by a smaller
increase in net foreign official assets in the United
States in the first quarter than in the fourth.
Foreign official assets.—Net foreign official assets
in the United States increased $8.6 billion in the
first quarter, following an increase of $24.4 billion in the fourth (table D). The fourth-quarter
increase was mostly accounted for by increases
in assets of industrial countries and of a few
members of OPEC.
Liabilities reported by banks.—U.S. liabilities to
foreigners reported by U.S. banks, excluding U.S.
Treasury securities, decreased $14.5 billion in the
first quarter, following a decrease of $21.8 billion in the fourth. The first-quarter decrease
partly reflected weak U.S. and foreign demand
for bank credit, the availability of adequate funding for U.S. banks from domestic sources, and
an increase in the attractiveness to foreigners of
investing in long-term bonds, which increased in
yield during the quarter, rather than investing in
short-term bank deposits.
Banks' own liabilities payable in dollars decreased $9.2 billion, following a decrease of $27.2
billion. The first-quarter decrease was mostly
attributable to the repayment of borrowings by
foreign-owned banks in the United States to their
own offices in Japan, the Caribbean, and the
United Kingdom. U.S. liabilities to nonbank private foreigners increased, partly as a result of

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

borrowing by U.S. brokers and dealers through
repurchase agreements with bond mutual funds
in the Caribbean.
Bank-reported liabilities payable in foreign
currencies increased $4.3 billion, following an
increase of $4.5 billion. The first-quarter increase was mostly accounted for by increases
in liabilities to Western Europe and to the
Caribbean.
Banks' custody liabilities payable in dollars decreased $9.7 billion, in contrast to an increase of
$0.9 billion.
U.S. Treasury securities.—Net foreign transactions in U.S. Treasury securities shifted to net
foreign sales of $11.4 billion in the first quarter
from net foreign purchases of $24.4 billion in the
fourth. U.S. Treasury bond prices declined in
the first quarter, as yields rose from the historically low levels reached in the fourth quarter.
The decline in prices was partly attributable to
investors' concerns that U.S. inflation might soon
accelerate and to an easing of tensions in financial
markets that reduced the demand for U.S. Treasury securities as safe and liquid investments. Net
foreign purchases of short-term U.S. Treasury securities decreased sharply to $1.5 billion from a
record $16.9 billion. Net foreign transactions in
long-term U.S. Treasury securities shifted to net
foreign sales of $12.9 billion from net foreign purchases of $7.5 billion. Net sales of long-term
securities by some Asian investors were partly attributable to an increase in the returns available
on Japanese securities and to portfolio rebalancing at the end of the Japanese fiscal year. Net
sales by the Caribbean accelerated, and net sales
by Western Europe slowed sharply.
Other U.S. securities.—Net foreign purchases of
U.S. securities other than U.S. Treasury securities
increased to $59.5 billion in the first quarter from
$49.3 billion in the fourth. Net foreign purchases
of U.S. stocks were $9.4 billion, up from $8.4 billion, and net foreign purchases of U.S. corporate
and other bonds were $50.1 billion, up from $40.9
billion.
The increase in net foreign purchases of U.S.
stocks was partly attributable to a rise in U.S.
stock prices. Net foreign purchases by Western Europe increased sharply, partly reflecting
the attractiveness of continued strong U.S. economic growth relative to the weaker growth in
some European countries. In contrast, transactions by Japanese investors shifted to net sales,
partly as a result of a surge in Japanese stock

prices that boosted the attractiveness of investing in Japanese equities. Transactions by the
Caribbean also shifted to net sales.
The acceleration in net foreign purchases of
U.S. corporate and other bonds was largely attributable to an increase in net foreign purchases
of U.S. federally sponsored agency bonds. A
shift to net purchases of agency bonds by the
Caribbean more than offset decreases in net purchases by Western Europe and by Japan. New
issues sold abroad by U.S. corporations were relatively weak for the second consecutive quarter as
a result of curtailed issuance by nonbank financial
corporations. Net foreign purchases of other U.S.
bonds remained strong, partly reflecting the attractive spreads available on U.S. corporate bonds
in an environment of improving liquidity for U.S.
corporate issues.
U.S. currency.—Net outflows of U.S. currency
were $2.4 billion in the first quarter, down from
$6.3 billion in the fourth.
Direct investment.—Net financial inflows for foreign direct investment in the United States fell
sharply to $19.1 billion in the first quarter from
$120.5 billion in the fourth, when they were
boosted by the two exceptionally large acquisitions of U.S. companies by foreign firms. Firstquarter net equity inflows decreased to their
lowest level since the second quarter of 1995,
and net intercompany debt inflows also declined.
These decreases were partly offset by an increase
in reinvested earnings.

FOOTNOTES TO U.S. INTERNATIONAL TRANSACTIONS TABLES 1-1OA
General notes for all tables: P Preliminary.

* Less than $500,000 ( ± )

Suppressed to avoid disclosure of data of individual companies,

n.a. Not available.

1. Credits, +: Exports of goods and services and income receipts; unilateral current transfers to the United States;
capital account transactions receipts; financial inflows—increase in foreign-owned assets (U.S. liabilities) or decrease in
U.S.-owned assets (U.S. claims).
Debits, - : Imports of goods and services and income payments; unilateral current transfers to foreigners; capital
accounts transactions payments; financial outflows—decrease in foreign-owned assets (U.S. liabilities) or increase in
US.-owned assets (U.S. claims).
2. Excludes exports of goods under U.S. military agency sales contracts identified in Census export documents,
excludes imports of goods under direct defense expenditures identified in Census import documents, and reflects various
3. Includes some goods: Mainly military equipment in line 5; major equipment, other materials, supplies, and petroleum
products purchased abroad by U.S. military agencies in line 22; and fuels purchased by airline and steamship operators in
lines 8 and 25.
4. Includes transfers of goods and services under U.S. military grant programs.
5. Beginning in 1982, these lines are presented on a gross basis. The definition of exports is revised to exclude U.S.
parents' payments to foreign affiliates and to include U.S. affiliates' receipts from foreign parents. The definition of imports
is revised to include U.S. parents' payments to foreign affiliates and to exclude U.S. affiliates' receipts from foreign parents.
6. Beginning in 1982, the "other transfers" component includes taxes paid by U.S. private residents to foreign
governments and taxes paid by private nonresidents to the U.S. Government.
7. At the present time, all U.S. Treasury-owned gold is held in the United States.
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, line 76 is equal to "net foreign investment" in the national income and product accounts (NIPA's).
However, the foreign transactions account in the NIPA's (a) includes adjustments to the international transactions accounts
for the treatment of gold, (b) includes adjustments for the different geographical treatment of transactions with U.S. territories
and Puerto Rico, and (c) includes services furnished without payment by financial pension plans except life insurance
carriers and private noninsured pension plans. A reconciliation of the balance on goods and services from the international
accounts and the 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 August issue of the SURVEY).
Additional footnotes for historical data in July issues of the SURVEY:
14. For 1974, includes extraordinary U.S. Government transactions with India. See "Special U.S. Government
Transactions," June 1974 SURVEY, p. 27.
15. For 1978-83, includes foreign currency-denominated notes sold to private residents abroad.
16. Break in series. See Technical Notes in the June 1989, June 1990, June 1992, June 1993, June 1995, and July
1996-99 issues of the SURVEY.
Table 2:
1. Exports, Census basis, represent transactions values, f.a.s. U.S. port of exportation, for all years; imports, Census
basis, represent Customs values (see Technical Notes in the June 1982 SURVEY), except for 1974-81, when they represent
transactions values, f.a.s. foreign port of exportation (see June issues of the SURVEY for historical data).
From 1983 forward, both unadjusted and seasonally adjusted data have been prepared by BEA from "actual" and
"revised statistical" month data supplied by the Census Bureau (see Technical Notes in the December 1985 SURVEY).
Seasonally adjusted data reflect the application of seasonal factors developed jointly by Census and BEA. The seasonally adjusted data are the sum of seasonally adjusted five-digit end-use categories (see Technical Notes in the June
1980 SURVEY, in the June 1988 SURVEY, and in the June 1991 SURVEY). Prior to 1983, annual data are as published by
the Census Bureau, except that for 1975-80 published Census data are adjusted to include trade between the U.S. Virgin
Islands and foreign countries.
2. Adjustments in lines A5 and A13, B12, B48, and B84 reflect the Census Bureau's reconciliation of discrepancies
between the goods statistics published by the United States and the counterpart statistics published in Canada. These
adjustments are distributed to the affected end-use categories in section C. Beginning in 1986, estimates for undocumented
exports to Canada, the largest item in the U.S.-Canadian reconciliation, are included in Census basis data shown in line
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 5 (transfers under U.S. military agency sales
contracts); the imports are included in tables 1 and 10, line 22 (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. Also includes deduction of exports to the
Panama Canal Zone before October 1,1979, and for 1975-82, net timing adjustments for goods recorded in Census data
in one period but found to have been shipped in another (see June issues of the SURVEY for historical data).
5. Coverage adjustments for special situations in which shipments were omitted from Census data; the deduction of
the value of repairs and alterations to U.S.-owned equipment shipped abroad for repair; and the adjustment of software
imports to market value. Also includes addition of understatement of inland freight in f.a.s values of U.S. imports of goods
from Canada in 1974-61; deduction of imports from the Panama Canal Zone before October 1,1979; and for 1975-82,
net timing adjustments for goods recorded in Census data in one period but found to have been shipped in another (see
June issues of the SURVEY for historical data).
6. For 1988-89, correction for the understatement of crude petroleum imports from Canada.
7. Annual and unadjusted quarterly data shown in this table correspond to country and area data in table 10, lines 3
and 20. 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 (Excludes Ecuador beginning in January 1993 and Gabon beginning in January 1995.); 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 the former German Democratic Republic (East Germany) beginning in fourth quarter of 1990. In earlier
periods, the German Democratic Republic was included in Eastern Europe.
9. 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."
10. The "Euro area," which formed in January 1999, includes Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland,
Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain.
Table 3:
1. Patented techniques, processes, and formulas and other intangible property rights that are used in goods production.
2. Copyrights, trademarks, franchises, rights to broadcast live events, and other intangible property rights.
3. Other unaffiliated services receipts (exports) include mainly expenditures of foreign governments and international
organizations in the United States. Payments (imports) include mainly wages of foreign residents temporarily employed in
the United States and Canadian and Mexican commuters in U.S. border areas.
Table 4:
1. Expenditures to release foreign governments from their contractual liabilities to pay for military goods and services
purchased through military sales contracts—first authorized (for Israel) under Public Law 93-199, section 4, and subsequently authorized (for many recipients) under similar legislation-are included in line A4. Deliveries against these military
sales contracts are included in line C10; see footnote 2. Of the line A4 items, part of these military expenditures is applied
in lines A43 and A46 to reduce short-term assets previously recorded in lines A41 and C8; this application of funds is
excluded from lines C3 and C4. A second part of line A4 expenditures finances future deliveries under military sales




contracts for the recipient countries and is applied directly to lines A42 and C9. A third part of line A4, disbursed directly to
finance purchases by recipient countries from commercial suppliers in the United States, is included in line A37. A fourth
part of line A4, representing dollars paid to the recipient countries to finance purchases from countries other than the United
States, is included in line A48.
2. Transactions under military sales contracts are those in which the Department of Defense sells and transfers
military goods and services to a foreign purchaser, on a cash or credit basis. Purchases by foreigners directly from
commercial suppliers are nor included as transactions under military sales contracts. The entries for the several categories
of transactions related to military sales contracts in this and other tables are partly estimated from incomplete data.
3. The identification of transactions involving direct dollar outflows from the United States is made in reports by each
operating agency.
4. Line A38 includes foreign currency collected as interest and line A43 includes foreign currency collected as principal,
as recorded in lines A16 and A17, respectively.
5. Includes (a) advance payments to the Department of Defense (on military sales contracts) financed by loans
extended to foreigners by U.S. Government agencies and (b) the contraentry for the part of line C10 that was delivered
without prepayment by the foreign purchaser. Also includes expenditures of appropriations available to release foreign
purchasers from liability to make repayment.
6. Includes purchases of loans from U.S. banks and exporters and payments by the U.S. Government under commercial
export credit and investment guarantee programs.
7. Excludes liabilities associated with military sales contracts financed by U.S. Government grants and credits and
included in line C2.
Table 5:
1. Beginning with 1991, payments and receipts of interest related to interest rate and foreign currency swaps between
affiliates and parents are netted and are shown as either net payments or net receipts. Receipts and payments of other
types of interest are shown on a gross basis.
2. Petroleum includes, and manufacturing and "other" industries exclude, the exploration, development, and production
of crude oil and gas, and the transportation, refining, and marketing of petroleum products, exclusive of petrochemicals.
"Other" industries includes wholesale trade; banking; finance (except banking), insurance, and real estate; services; and
other industries—agriculture, forestry, and fishing; mining; construction; transportation, communication, and public utilities;
and retail trade.
3. Acquisition of equity holdings in existing and newly established companies, capital contributions, capitalization of
intercompany debt, and other equity contributions.
4. Sales (total and partial), liquidations, returns of capital contributions, and other dispositions of equity holdings.
Table 6:
1. Primarily provincial, regional, and municipal.
2. Largely transactions by International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), International Development Association (IDA), International Finance Corporation (IFC), Asian Development Bank (ADB), and Inter-American
Development Bank (IDB).
3. Estimate for scheduled redemptions and identifiable early retirements. Includes estimates based on Canadian
statistics for redemptions of Canadian issues held in the United States. Unidentified and rescheduled retirements appear
in line A30.
Table 7:

NOTE.—Country data are based on information available from U.S. reporting sources. In some instances the statistics
may not necessarily reflect the ultimate foreign transactor. For instance: U.S. export statistics reflect country of reported
destination; in many cases the exports may be transshipped to third countries (especially true for the Netherlands and
Germany). The geographic breakdown of security transactions reflects country with which transaction occurred but may not
necessarily reflect the ultimate sources of foreign funds or ultimate destination of U.S. funds. Data for individual countries
within the European Union (6) may not add to the published totals for the European Union (6), because in several instances
estimates for the group are not available for each country. In addition, country data may not add to the European Union (6)
totals because of rounding.

BEA CURRENT AND HISTORICAL DATA
National, International, and Regional Estimates
This section presents an extensive selection of economic statistics prepared by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA)
and a much briefer selection of collateral statistics prepared by other Government agencies and private organizations. Series
originating in Government agencies are not copyrighted and may be reprinted freely. Series from private sources are provided
through the courtesy of the compilers and are subject to their copyrights.
BEA makes its economic information available on three World Wide Web sites. The BEA Web site <www.bea.doc.gov>
contains data, articles, and news releases from BEA'S national, international, and regional programs. The Federal Statistical
Briefing Room (FSBR) on the White House Web site <www.whitehouse.gov/fsbr> provides summary statistics for GDP and
a handful of other NIPA aggregates. The Commerce Department's STAT-USA Web site <www.stat-usa.gov> provides detailed
databases and news releases from BEA and from other Federal Government agencies by subscription; information about
STAT-USA'S Economic Bulletin Board (EBB) and Internet services may be obtained at the Web site or by calling 202-482-1986.
The tables listed below present annual, quarterly, and monthly estimates, indicated as follows: [A] Annual estimates only;

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

July 1999

National Data
A. Selected NIPA Tables
The tables in this section include the most recent estimates of gross domestic product and its components;
these estimates were released on June 25, 1999 and include the "final" estimates for the first quarter of 1999.
The selected set of NIPA tables shown in this section presents quarterly estimates, which are updated monthly.
In most tables, the annual estimates are also shown. Most of the "annual only" NIPA tables were presented in
the August 1998 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS; table 8.26 was presented in the September 1998 SURVEY; and
the remaining "annual only" tables—tables 3.15-3.20 and 9.1-9.6—were presented in the October 1998 SURVEY.
The news release on gross domestic product (GDP) is available at the time of release, and the "Selected
NIPA Tables" are available later that day, on STAT-USA'S Economic Bulletin Board and Internet services; for
information, call STAT-USA on 202-482-1986. In addition, the GDP news release is available the afternoon of the
day of the release, and the "Selected NIPA Tables" a day or two later, on BEA'S Web site <www.bea.doc.gov>.
The "Selected NIPA Tables" are also available on printouts or diskettes from BEA. TO order NIPA subscription products using Visa or MasterCard, call the BEA Order Desk at 1-800-704-0415 (outside the United States,
202-606-9666).

NOTE.—Chained (1992) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 1992
current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity
indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive.
The residual line is the difference between the first line and the sum of the most detailed lines.
Percent changes from preceding period for selected items in this table are shown in table 8.1; contributions to
the percent change in real gross domestic product are shown in table 8.2.
Chain-type quantity indexes for the series in this table appear in table 7.1.

NOTE.—Percent changes from preceding period for selected items in this table are shown in table 8.1.

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

NOTE.—Except as noted in footnotes 1 and 2, chained (1992) dollar series are calculated as the product of
the chain-type quantity index and the 1992 current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because
the formula for the chain-type quantity indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chaineddollar estimates are usually not additive.
Chain-type quantity indexes for the series in this table appear in table 7.3.

:t of the chain-type quantity index and the 1992
current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity
indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive.
The residual line is the difference between the first line and the sum of the most detailed lines. Chain-type quantify
indexes for the series in this table appear in table 7.4.

Residual

1. Gross government investment consists of general government and government enterprise expenditures for fixed
assets; inventory investment is included in government consumption expenditures.
2. Consumption expenditures for durable goods excludes expenditures classified as investment, except for goods
transferred to foreign countries by the Federal Government.
3. Compensation of government employees engaged in new force-account construction and related expenditures
for goods and services are classified as investment in structures. The compensation of all general government employees is shown in the addenda.
4. Consumption of fixed capital, or depreciation, is included in government consumption expenditures as a partial
measure of the value of the services of general government fixed assets; use of depreciation assumes a zero
net return on these assets.

NOTE.—Chained (1992) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 1992
current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity
indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive.
The residual line is the difference between the first line and the sum of the most detailed lines, excluding the
lines in the addenda.
Chain-type quantity indexes for the series in this table appear in table 7.11.
See footnotes to table 3.7.

1. Gross government investment consists of general government and government enterprise expenditures for fixed
assets; inventory investment is included in government consumption expenditures.
2. Consumption expenditures for durable goods excludes expenditures classified as investment, except for goods
transferred to foreign countries.
3. Compensation of government employees engaged in new force-account construction and related expenditures
for goods and services are classified as investment in structures. The compensation of all general government employees is shown in the addendum.
4. Consumption of fixed capital, or depreciation, is included in government consumption expenditures as a partial
measure of the value of the services of general government fixed assets; use of depreciation assumes a zero
net return on these assets.

NOTE.—Chained (1992) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 1992
current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity
indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive.
The residual line following the detail for exports is the difference between the aggregate "exports of goods and
services" and the sum of the detailed lines for exports of goods and export of services. The residual line following
the detail for imports is the difference between the aggregate "imports of goods and services" and the detailed
lines for imports of goods and imports of services.
Chain-type quantity indexes for the series in this table appear in table 7.10.
See footnotes to table 4.3.

NOTE.-Chained (1992) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 1992
current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity
indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive.
The residual line is the difference between the first line and the sum of the most detailed lines.
Chain-type quantity indexes for the series in this table appear in table 7.6.

1. Beginning with 1982, this series is derived from the Census Bureau series "current cost inventories." For
earlier periods, it is derived from the Census Bureau "book value inventories" series. The series differ in the treatment of inventories reported on a last-in, first-out (LIFO) basis: The series prior to 1982 is a mix of LIFO and
non-LIFO inventories; the series beginning with 1982 is entirely on a non-LIFO basis.
2. Beginning with 1973, 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 inventories derived primarily from Census Bureau statistics (see footnote 1). This mix differs from that
underlying business income derived primarily from Internal Revenue Service statistics. Prior to 1973, the two IVA's
are the same because information required for separate estimates is not available.
3. Prior to 1981, inventories of auto and home supply stores are included in motor vehicle dealers. Beginning
with 1981, these inventories are included in "other durable goods."

NOTE.-Chained (1992) dollar series for real change in business inventories are calculated as the period-to-period
change in chained-dollar end-of-period inventories. Quarterly changes in end-oNperiod inventories are stated at annual rates. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity indexes uses weights of more than one period, the
corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive. The residual line is the difference between the first
line and the sum of the most detailed lines.

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

NOTE.-Chained (1992) dollar inventory series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and
the average of the end-of-year fixed-weighted inventories for 1991 and 1992, divided by 100. Chained (1992) dollar
final sales series are calculated as the product of the chain-type index and the 1992 current-dollar value of the
corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity indexes uses weights of more
than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive. The residual line is the difference between the first line and the sum of the most detailed lines for inventories.

1. Consists of final sales and change in business inventories of new autos assembled in the United States.
2. Consists of personal consumption expenditures, producers' durable equipment, and gross government investment.
NOTE.—Chained (1992) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 1992
current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity
indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive.
The residual line is the difference between the first line and the sum of the most detailed lines, excluding the
lines in the addenda.
Chain-type quantity indexes for the series in this table appear in table 7.18.

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

NOTE.-Chained (1992) dollar series are calculated as the f

NOTE.—In these triangles, the growth rate from one year to any other year can be found at the intersection
of the column for the earlier year and the row for the later vear; thus, growth rates from one year to the next
are shown on the main diagonal. For example, from 1985 to 1995, real gross domestic product grew at an average
annual rate of 2.4 percent; from 1985 to 1986, it grew 3.1 percent.
