.................................. ................................................................................

Every July, the S u rvey o f C u r r e n t B u sin ess traditionally publishes
an article describing the annual revision of U.S. international
transactions statistics. This year’s article describes the improve­
ments incorporated by the Bureau of Economic Analysis as part
of the 2009 annual revision, notably a new treatment of certain
disaster-related losses recovered from international insurers. As
usual, a wide range of newly available source data was also incor­
porated.
July tends to be a busy month for articles about our interna­
tional statistics. Other articles in this issue discuss U.S. interna­
tional transactions for the first quarter of 2009, direct investment
positions for 2008, and the international investment position of
the United States at the end of 2008.
In addition, our Regional Quarterly Report takes a look at state
personal income for the first quarter of 2009. The report also in­
cludes a one-page overview of the upcoming comprehensive revi­
sions of regional gross domestic product (GDP) and personal
income statistics, which are scheduled to be released in stages be­
tween September 2009 and February 2011.
As always, we present recent GDP statistics, in this case the fi­
nal estimates for the first quarter of 2009, in an easy-to-read for­
mat.

Taking Account...
Travel spending turns
down in the first quarter
Real spending on travel and
tourism continued to decline in
the first quarter of 2009, accord­
ing to the Bureau of Economic
Analysis (BEA). Real spending
fell at an annual rate of 5.9 per­
cent after falling 6.9 percent in
the fourth quarter of 2008. By
comparison, real gross domestic
product fell 5.5 percent in the
first quarter after falling 6.3 per­
cent in the fourth quarter.
Spending fell despite a 10.9
percent drop in travel and tour­
ism prices in the first quarter,
which compares with a 16.5 per­
cent drop in the fourth quarter.
The overall decline in prices
reflected in part a decline in
transportation prices, which fell
23.0 percent in the first quarter
after falling 36.1 percent in the
fourth quarter. Prices for pas­
senger air transportation fell
28.7 percent after falling 2.3 per­
cent. Fuel costs continued to de­
crease, allowing airlines to
reduce fares to stimulate de­
mand. Prices for accommoda­
tions decreased 15.1 percent
after falling 7.0 percent. Business
travel continued to decline;
those traveling used lower cost
lodging.
Other highlights:
• Passenger air transportation
continued to contract, falling
5.8 percent in the first quarter
after falling 8.7 percent in the
fourth quarter. Spending on
domestic flights declined for
the sixth consecutive quarter;
however, real spending on




international flights rose 10.5
percent after an increase of
10.1 percent.
• Spending on travel accom­
modations fell 18.6 percent in
the first quarter after a 10.4
percent decrease in the fourth
quarter. The hotel industry
continued
to
experience
declining demand despite
reduced room rates.
• Retail shopping by travelers
showed a smaller decrease,
falling 1.3 percent in the first
quarter after falling 11.6 per­
cent in the fourth quarter.
• Employment directly sup­
ported by travel and tourism
fell 6.6 percent in the first
quarter after falling 3.9 per­
cent in the fourth quarter. All
travel and tourism industries
reduced employment in the
first quarter. Overall U.S.
employment fell 5.9 percent
after falling 3.7 percent.
With the release of these sta­
tistics, BEA has improved the
employment statistics by remov­
ing a one-quarter lag in the
availability of the statistics.

New NBER volume on
services, intangibles
Quantitative measures of inter­
national trade have long focused
on goods. However, in recent
years, intangible assets and ser­
vices— such as research and de­
velopment and, more broadly,
innovation— have become in­
creasingly important to the in­

ternational economy. A new
collection of articles published
by the National Bureau of Eco­
nomic Research (NBER), Inter­
national Trade in Services and
Intangibles in the Era o f Global­
ization, looks at the challenges
involved in measuring trade in
services and intangibles; the
comparative advantages enjoyed
by U.S. service industries;
heightened international com­
petition for jobs in service sector
industries, capital investment,
and economic growth; and taxrelated distortions in patterns of
trade in services and patterns of
asset-holding by foreign affili­
ates of multinational corpora­
tions.
Contributors from BEA in­
clude Maria Borga, whose article
discussed improved measures of
U.S. trade in insurance, whole­
sale and retail trade, and finan­
cial services; Carol A. Robbins,
whose article discussed pay­
ments for use of intellectual
property; Robert E. Yuskavage,
Erich H. Strassner, and Gabriel
W. Medeiros, whose article dis­
cussed offshore outsourcing of
services; and Raymond J. Mataloni, who commented on an arti­
cle about multinationals and
U.S. productivity growth. The
volume was edited by Marshall
B. Reinsdorf of BEA and Mat­
thew Slaughter, a professor of
international economics at the
Tuck School of Business, Dart­
mouth College, and a research
associate of the NBER.

GDP and the Economy
Final Estimates for the First Quarter of 2009
R EAL GROSS domestic product (GDP) decreased at
„an annual rate of 5.5 percent in the first quarter of
2009, according to the “final” estimates of the national
income and product accounts (NIPAs) (chart 1 and ta­
ble l ) .1 According to the “preliminary” estimate, real
GDP decreased 5.7 percent (see page 3). In the fourth
quarter, real GDP decreased 6.3 percent.
The smaller decrease in real GDP in the first quarter
than in the fourth quarter primarily reflected a larger
decrease in imports, an upturn in consumer spending
for durable goods, and a smaller decrease in consumer
spending for nondurable goods. In contrast, inventory
investment and investment in nonresidential struc­
tures decreased more than in the fourth quarter.2
• Prices of goods and services purchased by U.S. resi­
dents fell 1.0 percent after falling 3.9 percent. Energy
prices decreased less than in the fourth quarter, and
food prices decelerated. Excluding food and energy,
gross domestic purchases prices picked up slightly,
increasing 1.4 percent after increasing 1.2 percent.
The federal pay raise for civilian and military person­
nel added 0.3 percentage point to the change in the
first-quarter gross domestic purchases price index.
• Real disposable personal income (DPI) increased 6.0
percent after increasing 2.9 percent. The acceleration
mainly reflected an upturn in current-dollar DPI,
which primarily reflected a sharp downturn in per­
sonal current taxes. Real DPI was revised down 0.5
percentage point from the “preliminary” estimate.
• The personal saving rate was 4.3 percent in the first
quarter; it was 3.2 percent in the fourth quarter.
• Corporate profits increased $48.1 billion, or 3.8 per­
cent at a quarterly rate, in the first quarter after
decreasing $250.3 billion in the fourth quarter (see
page 4).

Real DPI: Percent change from the preceding quarter
1. “Real” estimates are in chained (2000) dollars, and price indexes are
chain-type measures. Each GDP estimate for a quarter (advance, prelimi­
nary, and final) incorporates increasingly comprehensive and improved
source data. More information can be found at www.bea.gov/about/
infoqual.htm and www.bea.gov/faq/national/gdp_accuracy.htm. Quarterly
estimates are expressed at seasonally adjusted annual rates, which assumes
that a rate of activity for a quarter is maintained for a year.
2. In this article, “consumer spending” refers to “personal consumption
expenditures,” “inventory investment” refers to “change in private invento­
ries,” and “government spending” refers to “government consumption
expenditures and gross investment.”

1. The estimates of GDP under the contribution columns are also percent changes.
N o t e . Percent changes are from NIPA table 1.1.1, contributions are from NIPA table 1.1.2, and shares
are from NIPA table 1.1.10.

Consumer spending turned up in the first quarter, in­
creasing 1.4 percent after decreasing 4.3 percent; it
contributed 0.95 percentage point to the first-quarter
percent change in real GDP. Spending for durable
goods turned up, and spending for nondurable goods
decreased less than in the fourth quarter. In contrast,
spending for services slowed.
Nonresidential fixed investment decreased much more
than in the fourth quarter and reduced the percent
change in real GDP by 4.59 percentage points, reflect­
ing larger decreases in both structures and equipment
and software.
Residential investment also decreased more than in
the fourth quarter and reduced the percent change in
real GDP by 1.40 percentage points. Residential in­
vestment has decreased in each quarter since the first
quarter of 2006; the first-quarter 2009 decrease was
the largest quarterly decrease since the second quarter
of 1980.
A record decrease in inventory investment reduced the
percent change in real GDP by 2.20 percentage points.
Exports decreased more than in the fourth quarter
and reduced the percent change in real GDP by 4.16
percentage points. Both goods and services decreased.
Imports declined much more than in the fourth quar­
ter. The first-quarter decrease was the sixth consecu­
tive quarterly decline and added 6.55 percentage
points to the percent change in real GDP; imports are
subtracted in the calculation of GDP.
Federal government spending turned down, primarily
reflecting a downturn in national defense spending.

GDP and Gross Domestic Purchases
In addition to gross domestic product (GDP), another
related measure of economic growth—gross domestic pur­
chases— is included in the national income and product
accounts (NIPAs).
GDP measures the market value of final goods and ser­
vices produced by labor and property in the United States,
including the goods that are added to, or subtracted from,
inventories. GDP is defined as the sum of consumer spend­
ing, business and residential investment, inventory invest­
ment, government spending, and exports less imports.
Gross domestic purchases is defined as GDP less exports
plus imports. It measures domestic demand for goods and
services regardless of their origin. Exports represent foreign
demand for U.S. goods and services. Subtracting exports




from GDP yields a measure of expenditures that focuses on
domestic buyers. Imports can be viewed as the value of
goods and services that exceed the domestic supply and
that expand the consumption and investment alternatives
for domestic purchasers.
Differences between GDP and gross domestic purchases
reflect patterns in imports less exports: As imports exceed
exports, gross domestic purchases exceeds GDP.
For annual and quarterly estimates of these measures, see
NIPA tables 1.4.1 and 1.4.3-1.4.6.
See also “A Guide to the National Income and Product
Accounts of the United States” at www.bea.gov under
“Methodology Papers.” For a related discussion about GDP
prices and gross domestic purchases prices, see FAQ 499.

Real GDP decreased 5.5 percent in the first-quarter fi­
nal estimate, 0.2 percentage point less of a decrease
than the preliminary estimate. The average revision
(without regard to sign) between the preliminary esti­
mate and the final estimate is 0.3 percentage point.
The revision to the percent change in real GDP prima­
rily reflected a downward revision to imports and an
upward revision to inventory investment that were
partly offset by downward revisions to exports and to
consumer spending for services.
The largest contributor to the downward revision to
consumer spending for services was electricity and gas
services.
The upward revision to inventory investment was
more than accounted for by mining, utilities, and con­
struction inventories.
The downward revision to exports was to both goods
and services. In goods, the largest contributor to the
revision was foods, feeds, and beverages. In services,
the largest contributors to the revision were “other”
transportation and royalties and license fees.
The downward revision to imports was also to both
goods and services. In goods, the largest contributors
to the revision were petroleum and products and au­
tomotive vehicles, engines, and parts. In services, the
downward revision was widespread; the largest con­
tributors were “other” private services and direct de­
fense expenditures.

Corporate Profits

Table 3. Corporate Profits
[Seasonally adjusted]

Corporate profits from current production increased
$48.1 billion, or 3.8 percent at a quarterly rate, in the
first quarter after decreasing $250.3 billion in the
fourth quarter.
Domestic profits of financial corporations increased
$113.7 billion, or 92.9 percent, after decreasing $178.7
billion.
Domestic profits of nonfinancial corporations de­
creased $49.0 billion, or 6.6 percent, after decreasing
$89.1 billion.
Profits from the rest of the world decreased $16.6 bil­
lion, or 4.2 percent, after increasing $17.5 billion. In
the first quarter, receipts decreased $77.0 billion, and
payments decreased $60.4 billion.
After-tax profits increased $13.8 billion, or 1.4 per­
cent, after decreasing $120.1 billion.
Net dividends decreased $42.0 billion, or 5.2 percent,
after decreasing $32.8 billion.

Note. Levels of these and other profits series are shown in NIPA tables 1.12,1.14,1.15, and 6.16D.

Undistributed corporate profits (a measure of net sav­

Table 4. Corporate Profits by Industry

Profits with inventory valuation adjustment increased
$103.7 billion, or 7.7 percent at a quarterly rate, in the
first quarter after decreasing $250.2 billion in the
fourth quarter. The difference between this increase
and the increase in profits from current production
reflects the capital consumption adjustment, which
decreased $55.6 billion.

Corporate Profits by Industry
Industry profits are corporate profits by industry with
inventory valuation adjustment (IVA). The IVA removes
the effect of prices on inventories. The IVA is the difference
between the cost of inventory withdrawals at acquisition
cost and replacement cost. Ideally, BEA would also add the
capital consumption adjustment (CCAdj) for each indus­




try. However, estimates of the CCAdj are only available for
two broad categories: Total financial industries and total
nonfinancial industries. For more information about BEA’s
methodology, see “Corporate Profits: Profits Before Tax,
Profits Tax Liability, and Dividends” at www.bea.gov/
methodologies/index.htm.

Real Inventories, Sales, and Inventory-Sales Ratios
for Manufacturing and Trade for the First Quarter of 2009
This report presents quarterly estimates for the fourth
quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009 and
monthly estimates for November 2008 to April 2009.
Tables IB, 2B, 3B, and 4B present chain-weighted
estimates. Table IB presents inventories. Table 2B pre­
sents sales. Table 3B presents inventory-sales ratios that
can be used to assess the likelihood that businesses will
add to, or reduce, inventories in response to changes in
demand; these ratios supplement the quarterly cur­
rent-dollar and real estimates of ratios of inventories to

final sales of domestic business, nonfarm business, and
goods and structures presented in NIPA tables 5.7.5B
and 5.7.6B. Table 4B presents estimates of manufactur­
ing inventories by stage of fabrication.
The estimates for 1967 forward are available in
interactive

N o t e . Estimates in this table are based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).
Chained (2000) dollar inventory series are calculated to ensure that the chained (2000) dollar change in




inventories for 2000 equals the current-dollar change in inventories for 2000 and that the average of the
1999 and 2000 end-of-year chain-weighted and fixed-weighted inventories are equal. 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.

N o t e . Estimates in this table are based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).
Chained (2000) dollar sales are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 2000

current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quan­
tity indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not
additive.

N o t e . Estimates in this table are based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).
Chained (2000) dollar inventory series are calculated to ensure that the chained (2000) dollar change in




inventories for 2000 equals the current-dollar change in inventories for 2000 and that the average of the 1999
and 2000 end-of-year chain-weighted and fixed-weighted inventories are equal. 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 International Investment Position of the United States
at Yearend 2008
By Elena L Nguyen

Table A. U.S. Net International Investment Position at Yearend

HE NET international investment position of the
United States was -$3,469.2 billion (preliminary)
at yearend 2008, compared with -$2,139.9 billion (re­
vised) at yearend 2007 (table 1, chart 1). At yearend
2008, the value of foreign-owned assets in the United
States continued to exceed the value of U.S.-owned as­
sets abroad.
The -$1,329.3 billion change in the U.S. net invest­
ment position from yearend 2007 to yearend 2008 re­
sulted from (1) declines in the prices of U.S.-held
foreign stocks that surpassed declines in the prices of
foreign-held U.S. stocks, (2) the depreciation of most
major currencies against the U.S. dollar that lowered
the dollar value of U.S.-owned assets abroad, and (3)
net foreign acquisitions of financial assets in the United
States that exceeded net U.S. acquisitions of financial
assets abroad. The impact of these differences was
partly offset by “other” changes (such as changes in re­
porting panels and capital gains and losses) that raised
the value of U.S.-owned assets abroad and lowered the
value of foreign-owned assets in the United States.
In 2008, U.S.-owned assets abroad increased

foreign-owned assets excluding financial derivatives.

liabilities (with negative gross value) increased

to increases in U.S. claims and liabilities from interestrate swap contracts caused by sharp declines in yields
on interest-rate swaps in the first and fourth quarters
of 2008. Because changes to U.S. assets and liabilities in
financial derivatives are largely offsetting, they have lit­
tle impact on the U.S. net investment position.
U.S.-owned assets abroad excluding financial deriv­
atives decreased $2,455.9 billion to $13,263.6 billion in
2008.
• Financial flows excluding financial derivatives raised
the value of U.S.-owned assets abroad by $0.1 bil­
lion in 2008 (table B). In 2008, U.S. banks and n o n ­
banks reduced their claims against foreign residents,
and U.S. residents sold more foreign securities than
they purchased. However, U.S. direct investment
abroad remained robust, and U.S. government
holdings of foreign currencies increased substan­
tially as a result of unprecedented net drawings on
temporary reciprocal currency arrangements (swap
lines) between the U.S. Federal Reserve System and
foreign central banks.

tion of most major foreign currencies against the
U.S. dollar from yearend 2007 to yearend 2008
sharply lowered the value of U.S.-owned assets
abroad, especially of U.S.-owned foreign stocks.
Foreign-owned assets in the United States excluding
financial derivatives decreased $1,038.5 billion to
$16,892.4 billion in 2008.
• Financial flows excluding financial derivatives raised
the value of foreign-owned assets in the United
States by $534.1 billion in 2008 (table C). In 2008,
net foreign purchases of Treasury securities and for­
eign direct investment in the United States were
especially strong. In contrast, foreign residents sold
more U.S. securities other than Treasury securities
than they purchased, and U.S. banks and nonbanks
reduced their liabilities to foreign residents.

Improvements to the Statistics
Statistics of the U.S. international investment position
presented in this article include newly available source
data and methodological changes that are related to the
improvements incorporated in the annual revision of the
U.S. international transactions accounts.
This year, the revised position statistics reflect the incor­
poration of results from the U.S. Treasury Department’s
annual survey of securities claims for December 2007 and
annual survey of securities liabilities for lune 2008.
In addition to the inclusion of survey and improved




source data, the position statistics were revised to incor­
porate newly available or revised quarterly source data.
Revisions attributable to these updated source data were
for 2006-2007. Revisions to the U.S. net international
investment position from all sources were $41.5 billion
for 2006 and $301.9 billion for 2007. The U.S. net inter­
national investment position at yearend 2007 was revised
to -$2,139.9 billion from -$2,441.8 billion.

the U.S. International Accounts” in this issue.

U.S. claims on foreigners reported by U.S. banks and
securities brokers decreased $410.8 billion to $3,410.8
billion in 2008. Most of the decrease reflected cutbacks
in lending by U.S. securities brokers and m u c h lower
international syndicated lending activity. In 2008, U.S.
financial institutions sharply reduced financial lever­
age on their balance sheets as they shored up cash re­
serves to cushion against writeoffs on impaired assets.
U.S. banks’ and securities brokers’ o w n claims de­
nominated in dollars decreased $358.8 billion to

flected repayments of funds from affiliated offices
overseas, mainly in Western Europe.

U.S. official reserve assets increased $16.5 billion to
$293.7 billion in 2008, mostly as a result of an increase
in the market value of the official U.S. gold stock. U.S.
official holdings of foreign currencies and U.S. reserve
position at the International Monetary Fund (IMF)
also increased. In contrast, special drawing rights de­
creased, mainly as a result of exchange-rate changes.
U.S. government assets other than official reserve as­
sets increased $529.6 billion to $624.1 billion. The in­
crease resulted from net drawings on temporary
reciprocal currency arrangements (swap lines) between
the Federal Reserve System and foreign central banks
that do not meet the strict definition of U.S. reserve as­
sets. Several central banks mostly in Europe and Asia

that a foreign resident would have to pay to a U.S. counterparty if the con­

counterparty if the contract was terminated or settled. The gross positive
(or negative) fair value is the sum of all contracts with positive (or negative)
fair values. Fair values are different from notional values, which are the

U.S. claims on foreigners reported by U.S. nonbank­
ing concerns decreased $247.8 billion to $991.9 billion
(table E). Financial flows lowered nonbanks’ claims by
$372.2 billion. In contrast, “other” changes raised n o n ­
banks’ claims by $140.5 billion, mainly as a result of
changes in the reporting panels of data sources (some
existing respondents started to report U.S. claims that
were not previously reported).
F o r e ig n

s e c u r itie s

U.S. holdings of foreign securities decreased $2,590.8
billion to $4,244.3 billion in 2008, mostly as a result of
declines in the prices of foreign stocks and bonds. Exchange-rate changes and net U.S. sales also resulted in
lower U.S. holdings of foreign securities, which stood
at the lowest level in 4 years. In 2008, the global finan­
cial turmoil caused the prices of m a n y financial assets
to fall sharply, particularly stocks, and to a lesser ex­
tent, corporate bonds. The strengthening of the U.S.
dollar against most major foreign currencies during
the year further exacerbated the financial losses for
U.S. investors holding foreign-currency-denominated
assets. F r o m yearend 2007 to yearend 2008, the Federal
Reserve Board’s broad index of the U.S. dollar against
major foreign currencies appreciated 9 percent. In
2008, U.S. d e m a n d for foreign securities was the weak­
est in more than four decades, as U.S. transactions in
foreign securities shifted to net sales of $.60.8 billion
from net purchases of $366.5 billion in 2007.
U.S. holdings of foreign stocks decreased $2,396.6
billion to $2,851.4 billion in 2008, mostly as a result of
price declines in major foreign stock markets. Accord­
ing to Morgan Stanley Capital International, the world
(excluding the United States) stock index declined 43
percent in local currency. In 2008, net U.S. purchases
of foreign stocks were only $1.3 billion, the lowest an­
nual level since 1988.
At yearend 2008, the largest U.S. holdings were in E u ­
ropean stocks, which stood at $1,336.0 billion, or 47
percent of total U.S. holdings of foreign stocks (table F).
U.S. holdings of Asian stocks, mostly Japanese stocks,
were $661.3 billion, or 23 percent, and U.S. holdings at
Caribbean financial centers were $373.4 billion, or 13
percent of total U.S. holdings of foreign stocks.
U.S. holdings of foreign bonds decreased $194.2 bil­
lion to $1,392.9 billion in 2008, mostly as a result of
price declines in several major foreign bond markets, es­
pecially the emerging markets, which depreciated 23
percent in value for the year. According to Merrill Lynch
Global Index System, the global broad market corporate
price index in local currency fell 10 percent for the year.
In 2008, U.S. transactions in foreign bonds shifted to net
sales of $62.1 billion, following 2 years of exceptionally
strong net purchases.

U.S. direct investment abroad
The stock of U.S. direct investment abroad increased
$247.3 billion to $3,698.8 billion in 2008, as a result of
strong financial flows (table H). Financial flows in­
creased U.S. direct investment abroad by $332.0 bil­
lion, mostly as a result of reinvested earnings. Partly
offsetting were exchange-rate changes that reduced
U.S. direct investment abroad by $110.8 billion, as for­
eign currencies depreciated against the U.S. dollar.

crease was attributable to increases in over-the-counter
(OTC) single-currency interest-rate contracts, espe­
cially swaps, and in “other” O T C contracts, especially
credit-default swaps. By area, most of U.S. positions
were with counterparties in Europe, predominantly the
United Kingdom.

Foreign official assets
Foreign official assets in the United States increased
$467.4 billion to $3,871.4 billion in 2008. Financial
flows increased foreign official assets by $487.0 billion,
reflecting strong net purchases of U.S. securities, espe­
cially Treasury securities.

Bank and nonbank liabilities
U.S. liabilities to private foreign residents and interna­
tional financial institutions reported by U.S. banks and
securities brokers decreased $363.2 billion to $3,611.4
billion in 2008. Financial flows lowered U.S. banks’
and securities brokers’ liabilities by $326.6 billion, re­
flecting significant cutbacks in borrowings from U.S.
securities brokers that more than offset increases in
borrowings from U.S. banks. Liabilities to foreign resi­
dents for banks’ and securities brokers’ o w n accounts
denominated in dollars decreased $228.8 billion to
$2,823.4 billion (table J).

Valuing Direct Investment Positions and Other
Components of the U.S. International Investment Position
Virtually all of the categories in the international invest­
ment position accounts except direct investment posi­
tions can be directly estimated with reference to readily
observable market prices. For example, the value of posi­
tions in portfolio investment securities, gold, loans, cur­
rencies, and bank deposits can be directly estimated
based on face values or market prices of recent transac­
tions. In contrast, direct investment positions typically
involve illiquid ownership interests in companies that
may possess many unique attributes— such as customer
base, management, and ownership of intangible assets—
whose values in the current period are difficult to deter­
mine, because there is no widely accepted standard for
revaluing company financial statements at historical cost
into prices of the current period.
Direct investment at current cost is BEA’s featured
measure of direct investment in current-period prices.
The current-cost method values the U.S. and foreign par­
ents’ shares of their affiliates’ investment in plant and
equipment, using the current cost of capital equipment;
in land, using general price indexes; and in inventories,
using estimates of their replacement cost. Direct invest­
ment at market value is an alternative measure of direct
investment in current-period prices. The market-value
method values the owners’ equity share of direct invest­




ment, using indexes of stock market prices. BEA also
publishes direct investment at historical cost, which val­
ues assets and liabilities at their book value. Country and
industry detail can be shown only for direct investment
at historical cost. (For additional information, see J.
Steven Landefeld and Ann M. Lawson, “Valuation of the
U.S. Net International Investment Position,” S u r v e y o f
C u r r e n t B u s i n e s s 71 (May 1991): 4 0 -4 9 .)
In this article, BEA features the current-cost method,
because the estimates prepared using this method are
comparable with BEA’s current-cost estimates of the net
stock of fixed assets and consumer durable goods and
with the Federal Reserve Board’s estimates of domestic
net worth (the sum of tangible assets located in the
United States, including plant and equipment, invento­
ries, and land). Furthermore, BEA’s calculation of direct
investment income includes a current-cost adjustment to
depreciation; this adjustment converts depreciation as
reported on company financial statements to the pre­
ferred economic accounts measure, which is based on the
current cost, rather than on the historical cost, of assets.
For detailed data on direct investment at historical cost
by country and industry, see “Direct Investment Posi­
tions for 2008: Country and Industry Detail” in this
issue.

Total foreign official and private holdings of U.S. Trea­
sury securities increased $834.2 billion to $3,210.6 bil­
lion in 2008 (table K). The increase reflected especially
strong net purchases from foreign residents and to a
certain extent, increases in the prices of Treasury secu­
rities during the year w h e n global financial markets ex­
perienced heightened uncertainty.
At yearend 2008, China surpassed Japan to become
the largest holder of U.S. Treasury securities with total
holdings valued at $807.5 billion, an increase of $320.7
billion from yearend 2007 (table K.) In 2008, China ac­
quired U.S. Treasury securities at a record pace. Japan,

U .S . s e c u r itie s

Foreign private holdings of U.S. securities other than
U.S. Treasury securities decreased $1,486.5 billion to
$4,703.5 billion in 2008. The decrease resulted from
declines in the prices of U.S. stocks and corporate
bonds and from especially strong net foreign sales of
U.S. agency bonds. Exchange-rate changes of foreigncurrency-denominated U.S. corporate bonds also low­
ered the value of foreign holdings somewhat as most
foreign currencies depreciated against the U.S. dollar
for the year.
Foreign holdings of U.S. bonds decreased $423.2
billion to $2,865.9 billion as a result of net foreign
sales, declining prices, and exchange-rate changes re­
sulting from a decline of foreign currencies relative to
the U.S. dollar.

The stock of foreign direct investment in the United
States increased $196.7 billion to $2,646.8 billion in
2008 as a result of strong financial flows (table N). Fi­
nancial flows raised foreign direct investment in the
United States by $319.7 billion, mostly as a result of net
equity capital investment. In contrast, “other” valua­
tion changes reduced foreign direct investment by
$141.6 billion, mainly as a result of capital losses in­
curred by foreign-affiliated finance companies and
banks in the United States.

1. Represents gains or losses on foreign-currency-denominated assets and liabilities due to their revaluation at current
exchange rates.
2. Includes changes in coverage due to year-to-year changes in the composition of reporting panels, primarily for bank
and nonbank estimates, and to the incorporation of survey results. Also includes capital gains and losses of direct invest­
ment affiliates and changes in positions that cannot be allocated to financial flows, price changes, or exchange-rate
changes.
3. Financial flows and valuation adjustments for financial derivatives are available only on a net basis, which is shown
on line 2 ; they are not separately available for gross positive fair values and gross negative fair values of financial deriva­
tives. Consequently, columns (a) through (d) on lines 4, 5, and 2 4,2 5 are not available.
4. Data are not separately available for the three types of valuation adjustments; therefore, the sum of all three types is
shown in column (d).
5. Reflects changes in the value of the official gold stock due to fluctuations in the market price of gold.

1. A break in series in 2005 reflects the introduction of U.S. Department of the Treasury data on financial derivatives.
2. U.S. official gold stock is valued at market price.
3. Also includes paid-in capital subscriptions to international financial institutions and resources provided to foreigners
under foreign assistance programs requiring repayment over several years. Excludes World War I debts that are not being
serviced.
4. Includes indebtedness that the borrower may contractually, or at its option, repay with its currency, with a third
country's currency, or by delivery of materials or transfer of services.
5. Beginning in 2007, includes foreign-currency-denominated assets obtained through temporary reciprocal currency
arrangements between the Federal Resen/e System and foreign central banks.

that are primarily engaged in financial intermediation. Estimates for 1976 forward are linked to the 1977,1982,1989,1994,
1999, and 2004 benchmark surveys of U.S. direct investment abroad.
7. Estimates include results of the 1994, 1997, 2001, and 2006 Benchmark Surveys of U.S. Portfolio Holdings of
Foreign Securities, and the results of the 2003,2004, 2005, and 2007 Annual Surveys of U.S. Holdings of Foreign Securi­
ties, conducted by the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
8. A break in series in 1983 reflects the introduction of counterparty data from the United Kingdom and from the Bank
for International Settlements (BIS) for several European countries, Caribbean banking centers, and Asian banking centers.
Additional coverage from BIS data was introduced in 1986,1989,1993, and 1994. In 1994, intercompany debt positions
between parent companies and affiliates that are not depository institutions and that are primarily engaged in financial
intermediation are reclassified from the direct investment accounts to the nonbank investment accounts. A break in series
in 2003 reflects the reclassification of assets reported by U.S. securities brokers from nonbank-reported assets to bankreported assets, and a reduction in counterparty balances to eliminate double counting. A break in series in 2005 reflects
the addition of previously unreported claims of U.S. financial intermediaries on their foreign parents associated with the
issuance of asset-backed commercial paper in the United States.

K o n c z

I N 2008, both the U.S. direct investment abroad and
foreign direct investment in the United States posi­
tions, valued at historical-cost, grew 8 percent. This
marked a slowdown in growth for both positions c o m ­
pared with 2007, w h e n the U.S. direct investment
abroad— or “outward”— position rose 18 percent and
the foreign direct investment in the United States— or
“inward”— position rose 15 percent.1
The m u c h slower growth in the outward direct in­
vestment position reflected a drop in n e w investment
activity abroad by U.S. parent companies.2 The slow­
d o w n in growth in the inward direct investment posi­
tion reflected the write-downs of financial assets,
especially in banking and nonbank finance and insur­
ance, as a result of unsettled conditions in financial
markets.
Highlights of U.S. direct investment abroad include
the following:
• The increase in the outward direct investment posi­
tion in 2008 (8 percent) significantly lagged the
increase in 2007 (18 percent) and was the smallest
since 2005 (4 percent). In 1996-2006, annual
growth averaged 12 percent. The slowdown in
growth in 2008 reflected lower equity capital flows
and a shift in valuation adjustments from positive
to negative.
• Reinvested earnings were the largest contributor to
the increase in the outward position, as they have
been in most years. Reinvested earnings rose 6 per­
cent in 2008 as a result of slightly higher earnings
and an increase in the share of earnings reinvested
in several industries. Earnings grew 2 percent in
2008; earnings gains in the first half of the year were
not fully offset by sharp declines later in the year.
1. In this article, “outward direct investment” and “outward” are short­
hand for “U.S. direct investment abroad.” Likewise, “inward direct invest­
ment” or “inward” are shorthand for “foreign direct investment in the
United States.”
2. The measure of direct investment capital flows used in this article dif­
fers from the measure of direct investment capital flows used in the interna­
tional transaction accounts because the reinvested earnings component of
capital flows included here excludes a current-cost adjustment. See the box
“Key Terms” for more information. In this article, “(direct investment) cap­
ital flows” is shorthand for “(direct investment) capital flows without current-cost adjustment” and “reinvested earnings” is shorthand for
“reinvested earnings without current-cost adjustment.”




• Net equity investments also contributed to the
increase in the outward position although these
investments were substantially lower in 2008 than in
2007. The decline in equity investment, m u c h of
which was for acquisitions of foreign businesses by
U.S. companies, coincided with a decline in global
merger and acquisition activity; a lack of available
credit, plunging stock markets, and a worldwide
financial crisis late in the year undermined c o m p a ­
nies’ ability and incentives to m ak e acquisitions.
Intercompany debt inflows and negative valuation
adjustments decreased the position.
Highlights of foreign direct investment in the
United States include the following:
• The inward direct investment position growth (8
percent) in 2008 significantly lagged the increase
(15 percent) in 2007. In 1996-2006, annual growth
averaged 12 percent. The slowdown in growth in
2008 reflected the turbulent financial-market condi­
tions, which are reflected in large valuation adjust­
ments, that began in the second half of 2007 and
persisted throughout 2008.

• Net equity capital investment was the largest c o m ­
ponent of the increase in the inward position in
2008, as it has been in most years. Boosted by a few
large transactions, net equity capital investment
grew 61 percent in 2008, the third consecutive year
of growth, despite the financial market conditions
and a slowdown in economic growth in the United
States and in several countries that are important
sources of foreign direct investment.
• Reinvested earnings were a substantial component
of the increase in the inward position in 2008, as
they have been since 2004. Reinvested earnings grew
in 2008 despite a decline in earnings because the
portion of earnings reinvested increased sharply.
Intercompany debt transactions also increased the
position, though to a lesser extent. In contrast, valu­
ation adjustments decreased the position.
This article presents details on the direct investment
positions valued at historical-cost by type of capital

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 $3,162.0 billion at the end of 2008 (ta­
ble A and chart 1). As in previous years, three host
countries— the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and
Canada— accounted for over a third of the total posi­
tion (table 1.2 and chart 2). Positions in the Nether­
lands and the United K ingdom were more than twice
as large as the positions of all other countries except
Canada. In 2008, the Netherlands surpassed the United

Kin gd om as the largest host country, with a U.S. posi­
tion of $442.9 billion, or 14 percent of the total. In the
Netherlands, most of the position increase and nearly
70 percent of the position was accounted for by hold­
ing companies, which m a y have invested the funds in
other countries or industries. (See the box “Holding
Companies in the Data on US. Direct Investment
Abroad”) The position in the United K i n g do m was
$420.9 billion (13 percent), and the position in Canada
was $227.3 billion (7 percent).
In 2008, the outward direct investment position
grew 8 percent, or $245.1 billion, d o w n significantly
from the 18 percent growth in 2007. The slowdown in
growth reflected lower equity capital flows and a shift
in valuation adjustments from positive to negative.

Changes by component
The $245.1 billion increase in the outward direct in­
vestment position was the net result of capital outflows
of $311.8 billion and valuation adjustments o f -$66.7

Capital flows
Capital outflows for U.S. direct investment abroad
were $311.8 billion in 2008, d o w n from $378.4 billion
in 2007. Capital flows in 2008 resulted from reinvested
earnings of $231.3 billion and net equity capital invest­
ment of $90.2 billion, which were partly offset by a
$9.7 billion reduction in U.S. parents’ net intercom­
pany debt claims on their foreign affiliates.
Equity capital investment. U.S. parents’ net equity
investment in their foreign affiliates was $90.2 billion
in 2008, d o w n sharply from $174.9 billion in 2007.
However, the 2008 net equity capital flows were still
the fourth highest in the past 10 years. Net equity in­
vestment resulted from equity capital increases of
$132.7 billion, which were partly offset by equity capi­
tal decreases of $42.4 billion. Equity capital increases
were d o w n 47 percent from 2007, largely reflecting a
slowdown in acquisitions and establishments of n e w
foreign affiliates.4 Equity capital increases for the ac­
quisition or establishment of n e w foreign affiliates
were $49.2 billion, d o w n from $125.3 billion. Equity
capital increases also reflected capital contributions to
existing foreign affiliates, which were $83.5 billion,
d o w n from $123.6 billion. Equity capital decreases,
which reduce the outward position, were d o w n 43 per­
cent from 2007, reflecting a drop in liquidations or
selloffs of foreign affiliates and in returns of capital
from continuing affiliates.
Equity capital increases for the acquisition or estab­
lishment of n e w affiliates were largest in Europe, par­
ticularly in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.
In the Netherlands, the largest increase was in holding
companies, whose holdings include retail trade affili­
ates in Europe and wholesale trade and professional,
scientific, and technical services affiliates in Europe
and “Latin America and Other Western Hemisphere.”
In the United Kingdom, the increases were mainly in
manufacturing (primarily machinery), “other indus­
tries” (particularly electronics retail trade), and “fi­
nance (except banks) and insurance.”5
A m o n g industries, acquisitions of foreign busi­
nesses or establishment of n e w affiliates by US. direct
investors were largest in “finance (except banks) and
insurance,” banking, and manufacturing (particularly
in machinery and in electrical equipment, appliances,
and components manufacturing).
The largest capital contributions were to affiliates
in Europe, primarily in the United K in g d o m and
the Netherlands, and in “Latin America and Other
4. The falloff in equity capital increases coincided with a drop of nearly a
third in the volume of global mergers and acquisitions in 2008, according to
data from Thompson Reuters.
5. In this article, “banks” refers to “depository institutions,” which is the
industry title that appears in the tables.

Western Hemisphere,” primarily in the “United King­
d o m Islands, Caribbean” and Bermuda. By industry,
the largest capital contributions were to affiliates in “fi­
nance (except banks) and insurance,” followed by
holding companies, and mining.
In 2008, equity capital decreases due to returns
of capital from continuing affiliates were slightly
higher than equity capital decreases due to liquida­
tions or selloffs of affiliates. By industry, equity cap­
ital decreases were largest in “finance (except banks)
and insurance.” By region, equity capital decreases
were largest in Europe and in Asia and Pacific.
Reinvested earnings. The difference between U.S.
parent companies’ shares in their foreign affiliates’ to­
tal earnings and the distributions to the parents from
the affiliates’ current and cumulative retained earn­
ings— that is, reinvested earnings— increased 6 percent
in 2008, to $231.3 billion. Reinvested earnings ac­
counted for more than 90 percent of the increase in the
outward position and nearly three-fourths of the capi­
tal outflows.
In 2008, reinvested earnings were by far largest for
affiliates in holding companies and then in manufac­
turing (particularly other manufacturing and chemi­
cals), which together accounted for 61 percent of the
total. By region, reinvested earnings were largest in E u ­
rope, accounting for 56 percent of the worldwide total.
Reinvested earnings were particularly large in five E u ­
ropean countries: the Netherlands, Ireland, Switzer­
land, the United Kingdom, and Luxembourg.

23

The growth in reinvested earnings resulted from a
reduction in distributions and slightly higher foreign
affiliate earnings. The reinvestment ratio— reinvested
earnings relative to current-year earnings— rose from
65 percent in 2007 to 68 percent in 2008. Earnings in­
creased 2 percent in 2008 as an increase in the first half
of the year was only partly offset by a decline in the
second half.
By industry, the largest increase in earnings was in
mining. In addition, a large decrease in losses in banks
contributed to the overall increase in earnings of for­
eign affiliates. In contrast, earnings decreased in sev­
eral industries, including “finance (except banks) and
insurance,” holding companies, and information. By
region, the largest increases in earnings were in “Latin
American and Other Western Hemisphere” (primarily
the “United Kin gd o m Islands, Caribbean”) and in
Canada.
Intercompany debt investment. U.S. parents’ in­
debtedness to their foreign affiliates increased more
than the foreign affiliates’ indebtedness to their U.S.
parents in 2008. Net intercompany debt inflows from
foreign affiliates of $9.7 billion were more than ac­
counted for by inflows from Canada and Asia and Pa­
cific. In Canada, the inflows were largest from mining
and manufacturing affiliates. In Asia and Pacific, in­
flows from “finance (except banks) and insurance” af­
filiates in H o n g Kong and Japan mostly accounted for
the regional inflows. By industry, manufacturing more
than accounted for the global inflows.

Alternative Measures of the Direct Investment Positions
The detailed statistics on the positions of U.S. direct
investment abroad and of foreign direct investment in
the United States by country and industry are only pre­
pared on a historical-cost basis, so they largely reflect the
price levels of earlier periods. The statistics are also pre­
pared on current-cost and market-value bases, but only
at an aggregate level. The current-cost statistics value the
U.S. and foreign parents’ shares of their affiliates’ invest­
ment in plant and equipment, using the current cost of
capital equipment; in land, using general price indexes;
and in inventories, using estimates of their replacement
cost. The market-value statistics value the equity portion
of direct investment using indexes of stock market prices.
The historical-cost statistics are not usually adjusted to
reflect the changes in the current costs or the replacement
costs of tangible assets or in the stock market valuations
of firms. Over time, the current costs of tangible assets
and the stock market valuations of firms tend to increase.
As a result, the historical-cost statistics on the positions
tend to be less than the current-cost and market-value
statistics on the positions. However, due to the large




declines in equity prices, the market value is less for the
position of U.S. direct investment abroad in 2008. The
current-cost statistics on the position are discussed in
“The International Investment Position of the United
States at Yearend 2008” in this issue.

Direct Investment Positions for 2008

Valuation adjustments
Valuation adjustments of -$66.7 billion reduced the
outward direct investment position in 2008. In con­
trast, positive valuation adjustments of $61.3 billion
increased the position in 2007.
The negative adjustments in 2008 resulted mostly
from negative currency-translation adjustments as the
U.S. dollar appreciated against m a n y major currencies,
including the British pound, the Canadian dollar, and
the euro, from yearend 2007 to yearend 2008. These
currency-translation adjustments were partly offset by
$3.4 billion in “other” valuation adjustments.

In 2008, the outward direct investment position in­
creased in each of the major areas except Canada (table
C). U.S. parents with foreign affiliates in Europe had
the largest dollar increase, accounting for 61 percent of
the overall increase in the position. Outside of Europe,
the largest increases were in “Latin America and Other
Western Hemisphere” and Asia and Pacific.
Europe. The position for this region increased
$150.4 billion, with reinvested earnings accounting for
85 percent of the increase. Reinvested earnings were
particularly large in holding companies and manufac­
turing (especially chemicals). The positions in three
countries— the Netherlands, Ireland, and Switzer­
land— together accounted for nearly three-fourths of
the increase in the position in Europe.

In the Netherlands, holding companies accounted
for four-fifths of the increase, most of it due to rein­
vested earnings. In Ireland, the increase was wide­
spread by industry. The largest increases were in
professional, scientific, and technical services, largely
attributable to valuation adjustments, and in holding
companies, largely attributable to reinvested earnings.
In Switzerland, a large share of the increase was in
holding companies; both intercompany debt invest­
ment and reinvested earnings were large contributors
to the increase.
The position decreased in Russia and the United
Kingdom. In Russia, the position decreased by more
than a third and was more than accounted for by a de­
crease in mining, mainly due to valuation adjustments.
In the United Kingdom, the decrease was spread over
several industries, including manufacturing (particu­
larly petroleum refining and extraction and beverages)
and “other industries” (particularly rental and leasing
services).

Latin America and Other Western Hemisphere.
The position increased $55.1 billion, with reinvested
earnings accounting for most of the increase. The
“United K ingdom Islands, Caribbean” had by far the
largest increase, $30.7 billion; this increase was mainly
in holding companies and in “finance (except banks)
and insurance.”
Asia and Pacific. The position increased $37.9 bil­
lion in 2008. The largest increases were in China, Sin­
gapore, and Australia; China alone accounted for 45
percent of the total increase. In China, the largest in­
crease was in banking, due mostly to acquisitions and
establishments of n e w affiliates. In Singapore, the larg­
est increase was in holding companies. In Australia, the
increase was more than accounted for by mining.
Within this region, the largest decrease in the posi­
tion was in Japan, which was more than accounted for
by a decrease in “finance (except banks) and insur­
ance.”
Middle East and Africa. The $4.2 billion increase in
the Middle East position was the largest percentage in­
crease (15 percent) of any region. Increases in the posi­
tion were widespread by industry and by country; the
largest increases were in Qatar, Israel, and Kuwait. In
Africa, the $4.1 billion increase was the second largest
percentage increase (13 percent) of all regions. Within
this region, the largest increases were in Nigeria and
Egypt.
Canada. In 2008, the position fell $6.7 billion. The
decrease was more than accounted for by negative cur­
rency-translation adjustments. The largest decreases
were in manufacturing (particularly transportation
equipment and chemicals) and in mining.

Holding Companies in the Data on U.S. Direct Investment Abroad
For the past two decades, U.S. parent companies have
fimneled an increasing share of their direct investments
abroad through holding company affiliates.1 Foreign
affiliates classified as holding companies accounted for 36
percent of the U.S. direct investment position abroad in
2008.2 In 1982, foreign affiliates classified as holding
companies accounted for 9 percent of the U.S. direct
investment position abroad (chart A). The upward trend
of the holding company share is part of a broader trend
of indirect ownership in which U.S. parents own foreign
affiliates that, in turn, own other foreign affiliates.
One consequence of the rising use of indirect owner­
ship arrangements is that U.S. direct investment abroad
statistics on the position and related flows show industry
and country patterns that are increasingly different from
the industries and countries in which the production and
sale of goods and services by foreign affiliates occurs.3
Data from BEA’s surveys of the operations of U.S. par­
ent companies and their foreign affiliates suggest the
degree to which indirect ownership structures may affect
the country and industry distributions of the outward
position data.4 The statistics on the operations of these
foreign affiliates are classified in the country where the
affiliate’s physical assets are located or where its primary
activity is carried out, and they are classified in the indus­
try that reflects the affiliate’s primary activity. Thus, these
statistics reflect more closely the countries and industries
in which the production of goods and services by foreign
affiliates actually occurs than do the statistics classified by
the country and industry of the affiliate with which the
parent company has a direct position or transaction.
The use of holding company affiliates appears to be the
most important reason for differences in the patterns of
investment by country or by industry between the posi­
tion statistics and the operations statistics. However,
1. A holding company is a company whose primary activity is holding
the securities or financial assets of other companies.
2. In 2008, the share reached a new record high, slightly surpassing the
previous record of 35 percent in 2004. The lower shares in 2 0 0 5 -2 0 0 7
were primarily the result of large earnings distributions (and the result­
ing negative reinvested earnings) in 2005 associated with the American
Jobs Creation Act of 2004. The largest distributions were from holding
companies, especially those with parents in chemicals manufacturing.
3. Statistics on the outward position and related flows are allocated to
the industries and countries of the affiliates with which the U.S. parent
companies have direct transactions and positions rather than to the
industries and countries of the affiliates whose operations the parents
ultimately own or control. This convention follows international guide­
lines in the International M onetary Fund’s Balance o f Payments Manual,
6th edition.
4. Besides chain-of-ownership information, data collected on the
operations survey include items such as assets, sales, employment, and
net property, plant, and equipment.




other factors also contribute, including indirect owner­
ship through other types of affiliates, the fact that the
operations statistics, unlike the position statistics, are not
adjusted for percentage of U.S. ownership, and duplica­
tion in some measures of affiliate operations— such as
assets and earnings— when affiliates hold equity or debt
positions in one another. A comparison of the statistics
on the outward direct investment position with the sta- *
tistics on the assets and the net property, plant, and
equipment (PP8cE) of foreign affiliates for 2006 (the lat­
est year for which detailed operations statistics are avail­
able) illustrates the differences in distribution between
the position statistics and the statistics on the operations.
In that year, manufacturing’s share of the outward posi­
tion, 18 percent, was similar to its 15 percent share of the
assets, but much lower than its 40 percent share of the
PP8cE, of foreign affiliates. By country, the Netherlands’
share of the direct investment position was 11 percent,
compared with its 9 percent share of assets and 3 percent
share of PP8cE.5

nies on the direct investment abroad series, see the

and Industry Detail,” S u rv e y o f C u r r e n t B u sin ess 8 1 (July
2001): 23-25.
5. The statistics used to derive the shares o f the assets and the PP&E
cover only those foreign affiliates that are majority-owned by U.S. direct,
investors.

The foreign direct investment position in the United
States valued at historical cost— the book value of for­
eign direct investors’ equity in and outstanding loans
to, their US. affiliates— was $2,278.9 billion at the end
of 2008 (table A and chart 1). The United King do m ac­
counted for the largest position, $454.1 billion, or 20
percent of the total, followed by Japan and the Neth­
erlands, which each accounted for 11 percent of the
total with positions of $259.6 billion and $259.4 bil­
lion, respectively (table 2.2 and chart 4). The next larg­
est positions were for Canada (10 percent) and
Ge rm an y (9 percent).

of $250.2 billion in net equity capital investment, $51.0
billion in reinvested earnings, and $15.0 billion in net
intercompany debt investment.
Equity capital investment. Net equity capital in­
vestment by foreign parents in their U.S. affiliates was
$250.2 billion in 2008, up from $155.4 billion in 2007
and nearly as high as in 2000, w h e n net equity invest­

capital investment resulted from $288.2 billion in eq­
uity capital increases and partly offsetting equity capi­
tal decreases of $38.0 billion. Boosted by a few large
transactions, equity capital increases were up 20
percent in 2008, as foreign investors’ expenditures to
acquire US. businesses increased despite tightening
credit conditions, slower growth in the United States
and countries that are important sources of direct in­
vestment, and a slowdown in worldwide merger ac­
tivity. Acquisitions in 2008 were broadly based by

In 2008, the inward direct investment position in­
creased 8 percent, or $169.0 billion, d o w n markedly
from the 15 percent increase in 2007. The slower
growth in 2008 was the result of larger negative valua­
tion adjustments and a decrease in net intercompany
debt investment. These changes more than offset a siz­
able increase in equity capital and a m u c h smaller in­
crease in reinvested earnings.

industry.6 Equity capital increases in 2008 also re­
flected capital contributions m a d e by foreign parents
to their existing U.S. affiliates, especially those in “fi­
nance (except banks) and insurance” and in banking.
M a n y of these affiliates suffered capital losses in 2008.
Equity capital decreases, which decrease the inward
position, were d o w n 55 percent from 2007, as there
were fewer large selloffs of U.S. affiliates and returns of
capital in 2008.
Equity capital increases in 2008 were widespread by
industry and by country of foreign parent. The largest
increases were in manufacturing and in “finance (ex­
cept banks) and insurance,” which together accounted
for 58 percent of equity capital increases in 2008.
Within manufacturing, equity capital increases were
largest in “other” manufacturing, especially beverages
and tobacco products, and in chemicals; increases in
both were mostly attributable to acquisitions of U.S.
businesses. European investors accounted for more
than three-quarters of the equity increase in manufac­
turing. In “finance (except banks) and insurance,” eq­
uity capital increases were broadly based by country of
foreign parent and reflected both acquisitions, espe­
cially in insurance, and capital contributions to exist­
ing affiliates, especially in nonbank finance. Overall, by
country, the largest equity increases were from the
Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Canada.
Equity capital decreases were widely dispersed by in­
dustry and by country.
Reinvested earnings. The foreign parent’s share of
U.S. affiliates’ current-period earnings less distribu­
tions to the parents from affiliates’ current and cu­
mulative retained earnings— that is, reinvested
earnings— added $51.0 billion to the inward direct in­
vestment position in 2008. Reinvested earnings were
up 14 percent from 2007 despite a small decline in
6. According to data from BEA’s survey of new foreign direct investment,
total outlays to acquire or establish U.S. businesses, which include those
financed by capital inflows from foreign parents, were $260.4 billion in
2008, up slightly from 2007. See Thomas Anderson, “Foreign Direct Invest­
ment in the United States: New Investment in 2008,” s u r v e y o f c u r r e n t b u s i ­
n e s s 89 (June 2009): 54—
61. The new investment data include only those
transactions in which U.S. businesses are newly acquired or established by
foreign direct investors, regardless of the source of funding. Changes in the
inward direct investment position differ from new investment outlays by
excluding investment financed by sources other than the foreign parent
group and by including transactions that fund ongoing operations of U.S.
affiliates, subtractions from investment as well as additions, and valuation
adjustments.
Despite these differences, the two types of data are related because any
outlays to acquire or establish U.S. businesses that are funded by foreign
parent groups are included in the capital transactions that largely deter­
mine the changes in the inward direct investment position. It is of note that
although foreign parent-funded outlays to acquire or establish U.S. busi­
nesses typically appear in the direct investment capital transactions as
equity investments, these transactions are sometimes funded in part, or in
whole, by debt investment from the foreign parent. According to data from
the new investment survey, foreign parent groups financed nearly 90 per­
cent of total outlays to acquire or establish U.S. businesses in 2008.

earnings for 2008 as distributions to foreign parents
fell more sharply than earnings. In recent years, rein­
vested earnings have contributed substantially to
growth in the inward investment position.
Reinvested earnings were largest for affiliates in “fi­
nance (except banks) and insurance,” in wholesale
trade, and in “other industries,” which together more
than accounted for the overall total. Within “other in­
dustries,” reinvested earnings were largest in mining.
By country, reinvested earnings were largest for affili­
ates with parents in Switzerland, the United Kingdom,
and France.
Earnings reinvested in U.S. affiliates increased 14
percent in 2008 despite a $3.7 billion, or 4 percent, de­
crease in earnings, to $93.2 billion. This marked the
second consecutive year of decline in affiliates’ earn­
ings, which peaked at $126.3 billion in 2006. The de­
cline in 2008 was in line with a 15 percent contraction
in U.S. corporate profits.7 U.S. affiliates’ earnings were
d o w n in several industries but banks— which suffered
a sharp increase in losses as a result of turmoil in finan­
cial markets— more than accounted for the overall de­
cline. The reinvestment ratio— the ratio of reinvested
earnings to total earnings— was 55 percent in 2008, up
from 46 percent in 2007, as distributions to foreign
parents fell more sharply than earnings. The largest in­
crease in reinvested earnings was in “finance (except
banks) and insurance,” reflecting both improved earn­
ings and reduced distributions to foreign parents.8
Intercompany debt investment. Borrowing and
lending transactions between U.S. affiliates and foreign
parent groups increased the inward direct investment
position $15.0 billion in 2008, compared with $71.0
billion in 2007. Net debt investment in 2008 resulted
from a $17.3 billion increase in U.S. affiliates’ debt
obligations to their foreign parents or other members
of the foreign parent group, which was partly offset
by a $2.3 billion increase in affiliates’ debt claims on
foreign parent group members. Net debt investment
was held d o w n by several sizable transactions in which
U.S. affiliates paid d o w n their debts. The largest
increase in position due to net debt investment in
2008 was for affiliates in “finance (except banks) and
insurance,” followed by those in “other industries,” es­
pecially utilities. By country, the “United K i ng do m Is­
lands, Caribbean” contributed most to the increase in
the net intercompany debt position, followed by the

Key Terms
For a more detailed discussion of the terms in this box, see Foreign
Direct Investment in the United States: Final Results From the 2002
Benchmark Survey and U.S. Direct Investment Abroad: Final Results
From the 2004 Benchmark Survey. These methodologies are also

available on BEA’s Web site at www.bea.gov.

Direct investment
This is investment in which a resident (in the broad legal sense,
including a company) of one country obtains a lasting interest in,
and a degree of influence over the management of, a business enter­
prise in another country. In the United States (and in the interna­
tional statistical guidelines), the criterion used to define direct
investment is ownership of at least 10 percent of the voting securi­
ties of an incorporated business enterprise or the equivalent interest
in an unincorporated business enterprise.
U.S. direct investment abroad (outward direct investment) rep­
resents the ownership or control, directly or indirectly, by one U.S.
resident (U.S. parent) of at least 10 percent of a foreign business
enterprise, which is called a foreign affiliate.
Foreign direct investment in the United States (inward direct
investment) represents the ownership or control, directly or indi­
rectly, by one foreign resident (foreign parent) of at least 10 percent
of a U.S. business enterprise, which is called a U.S. affiliate. Foreign
direct investment includes equity and net debt investments by the
foreign parent as well as net debt investments by any other mem­
bers of the foreign parent group. The foreign parent group consists
of (1) the foreign parent, (2) any foreign person (including a com­
pany), proceeding up the foreign parent’s ownership chain, that
owns more than 50 percent of the person below it, up to and
including the ultimate beneficial owner (UBO), and (3) any for­
eign person, proceeding down the ownership chain(s) of each of
these members, that is owned more than 50 percent by the person
above it.
The UBO of a U.S. affiliate is the first person that is not more
than 50 percent owned by another person in the affiliate’s owner­
ship chain beginning with the foreign parent. The UBO ultimately
owns or controls the affiliate and derives the benefits and assumes
the risks associated with ownership or control. Unlike the foreign
parent, the UBO of a U.S. affiliate may be located in the United
States.

Direct investment position
This is the value of direct investors’ equity in, and net outstanding
loans to, their affiliates. The direct investment position may be
viewed as the direct investor’s net financial claims on their affiliates.
BEA prepares statistics of the positions for outward direct invest­
ment and for inward direct investment at historical cost, current
cost, and market value. This article features the historical-cost
measure. This valuation is principally derived from the books of
affiliates and generally reflects the acquisition cost of the invest­
ments, cumulative reinvested earnings, and cumulative deprecia­
tion of fixed assets. Historical-cost statistics are consistent with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in most areas.
GAAP, however, values the holdings of most financial instruments
at current-period prices rather than at historical cost. See the box
“Alternative Measures of the Direct Investment Positions.”
Direct investment capital flows arise from transactions that
change financial claims (assets) and liabilities between U.S. parents
and their foreign affiliates or between U.S. affiliates and their for­
eign parents. Capital outflows arise from transactions that increase




U.S. assets or decrease U.S. liabilities. Capital inflows arise from
transactions that decrease U.S. assets or increase U.S. liabilities.
Direct investment capital flows consist of equity capital investment,
intercompany debt investment, and reinvested earnings.
Equity capital investment is the difference between equity capi­
tal increases and decreases. Equity capital increases arise from (1)
parents’ establishments of new affiliates, (2) payments by parents to
unaffiliated parties for the purchase of capital stock or other equity
interests when they acquire an existing business, (3) payments to
acquire additional ownership interests in their affiliates, and (4)
capital contributions to their affiliates. Equity capital decreases are
the funds parents receive when they reduce their equity interest in
their affiliates.
Intercompany debt investment results from changes in net out­
standing loans between parents (or, for inward investment, other
foreign parent group members) and their affiliates, including loans
by parents to affiliates and loans by affiliates to parents.
Reinvested earnings (without current-cost adjustment) are the
parents’ share of the current-period operating earnings of their
affiliates less distributions of earnings that affiliates make to their
parents. A related measure of reinvested earnings is featured in the
international transactions accounts; this measure includes a current-cost adjustment that reflects current-period prices. This
adjustment converts depreciation charges to a current-cost, or
replacement-cost, basis; it adds charges for depletion of natural
resources back to income and reinvested earnings, because these
charges are not treated as production costs in the national income
and product accounts; and it reallocates expenses for mineral
exploration and development across periods, so that they are writ­
ten off over their economic lives rather than all at once.
Various valuation adjustments to the historical-cost position are
made to account for the differences between changes in the histori­
cal-cost positions, which are measured at book value, and direct
investment capital flows, which are measured at transaction value.
(Unlike the positions on current-cost and market-value bases, the
historical-cost position is not usually adjusted to account for
changes in the replacement cost of the tangible assets of affiliates or
in the market value of parent companies’ equity in affiliates.)
Valuation adjustments to the historical-cost position consist of
currency-translation adjustments and “other” adjustments. Currency-translation adjustments account for changes in the exchange
rates that are used to translate affiliates’ foreign-currency-denominated assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars. “Other” valuation
adjustments account for (1) differences between the proceeds from
the sale or liquidation of affiliates and their book values, (2) differ­
ences between the purchase prices of affiliates and their book val­
ues, (3) writeoffs resulting from uncompensated expropriations of
affiliates, (4) the reclassification of investment positions between
direct investment and other investment, and (5) capital gains and
losses (excluding currency-translation adjustments) on transac­
tions, such as the sale of assets (excluding inventories) or capital
gains and losses that represent the revaluation of the assets of ongo­
ing affiliates for reasons other than exchange-rate changes, such as
the write-down of assets. In addition, for individual industries, off­
setting adjustments may be made to effect changes in the industry
classification of an affiliate. For individual countries, offsetting
adjustments are made when the political boundaries of countries
change. In addition, for inward direct investment, offsetting adjust­
ments are made when transactions between foreign residents result
in a change in the country of the foreign parent.

Valuation adjustments
Valuation adjustments decreased the inward position
$147.1 billion in 2008 after decreasing it $1.8 billion
in 2007. Valuation adjustments consisted of -$6.4 bil­
lion in currency-translation adjustments and -$140.7
billion in “other” valuation adjustments, which were
largely attributable to capital losses. Negative valuation
adjustments were largest, by far, in “finance (except
banks) and insurance” and in banking. These indus­
tries were hit particularly hard by widespread write­
downs of financial assets as a result of the unsettled fi­
nancial market conditions that began in the second
half of 2007.

In 2008, Europe accounted for 68 percent of the overall
increase in the inward direct investment position (ta­
ble E). The increase in the position for Asia and Pacific
was also substantial, accounting for 27 percent of the
overall increase.9
Europe. The position increased $115.3 billion.
M u c h of the increase was attributable to increases in
the position for the Netherlands and the United King­
dom, which together accounted for more than twothirds of the region’s increase. There were also large in­
creases for Hungary, Switzerland, and Spain.
The position for the Netherlands increased $51.2
billion. The largest increase was in manufacturing, fol­
lowed by wholesale trade and information. Within
manufacturing, acquisitions in “other” manufactur­
ing, especially beverages and tobacco products, con­
tributed most to the increase. Acquisitions also
boosted the position in wholesale trade.
For the United Kingdom, the $27.6 billion increase
was broadly based by industry. The largest increases
were in wholesale trade and in manufacturing, espe­
cially “other” manufacturing and transportation
equipment. In “other” manufacturing, m u c h of the in­
crease was in medical equipment and in petroleum.
The position for Hungary increased $17.5 billion, to
$62.5 billion. The increase reflected m a n y cases in
which U.S. affiliates were o wn ed by foreign parents in
9. In this article, the statistics on the inward direct investment position are
classified by country of foreign parent or of other members of the foreign
parent group that have direct transactions and positions with the U.S. affil­
iate, which is consistent with international standards. Statistics classified on
this basis may be higher or lower than those classified by country of ulti­
mate beneficial owner (UBO) for certain countries, particularly when
investments have been channeled through affiliates in financial centers in
other countries. For tabulations on both bases through 2007 (preliminary),
see table 17 in “Direct Investment, 2 0 0 4 -2 0 0 7 : Detailed Historical-Cost
Positions and Related Capital and Income Flows” S u r v e y 88 (September
2008): 120. Revised statistics for 2006 and 2007 as well as preliminary statis­
tics for 2008 on both bases will be published in the September 2009 S u r v e y .

other countries, but the intercompany debt increases
involved Hungarian members of the affiliates’ foreign
parent groups. The position for Switzerland increased
$12.4 billion, mainly in manufacturing; the largest in­
crease within manufacturing was in “other” manufac­
turing, especially medical equipment. In percentage
terms, the position for Finland more than doubled,
mainly because of acquisitions.
In contrast to these increases, the position for some
countries within Europe decreased. The largest de­
creases were for Luxembourg and Sweden, which de­
creased $7.3 billion and $7.1 billion, respectively, and
were mainly due to changes in the accounts of existing
affiliates; outflows on intercompany debt payables con­
tributed most to the changes.
Asia and Pacific. The position increased $46.1 bil­
lion in 2008. The position for lapan increased $29.1
billion, accounting for 63 percent of the region’s in­
crease. For lapan, increases were widespread by indus­
try. The largest increases were in manufacturing, in
wholesale trade, and in “finance (except banks) and in­
surance.” Within manufacturing, chemicals had the
largest increase, which was mainly due to acquisitions.
Acquisitions were also the main cause of increases in
wholesale trade and in “finance (except banks) and in­
surance.”
The increase in position for Australia was also siz­
able. M u c h of the $14.1 billion increase was attribut­
able to “other industries,” including transportation
and mining.

Canada. The position increased $13.9 billion and
was largely attributable to increases in banking and in
information. In both industries, acquisitions were the
main contributor to the increase.
Middle East and Africa. The position for Africa in­
creased $0.6 billion, with manufacturing contributing
most to the change. In contrast, the position for the
Middle East decreased $0.4 billion, reflecting decreases
in real estate and rental and leasing and in banking.
Latin America and Other Western Hemisphere.
The position decreased $6.6 billion. The “United King­
d o m Islands, Caribbean” more than accounted for the
change, with a $12.8 billion decrease.

The statistics on the U.S. direct investment position
abroad are largely based on data from BEA’s quarterly
survey of transactions between U.S. parent companies
and their foreign affiliates. The survey was conducted
under the supervision of Mark W. New, who was
assisted by Iris Branscome, Laura A. Downey, David L.
Grayton, Marie K. Laddomada, Sherry Lee, Louis C.
Luu, Leila C. Morrison, and Dwayne Torney. C o m ­

The statistics on direct investment positions presented
in this article for 2008 are preliminary. The revised sta­
tistics for both outward and inward direct investment
positions and related capital flows for 2006-2007 in­
corporate n e w survey data collected in B E A ’s quarterly
surveys of transactions between parents and their affil­
iates and in annual surveys of multinational c o m p a ­
nies’financial and operating data.10
The historical-cost outward direct investment posi­
tion for 2006 was revised up $22.6 billion, to $2,477.3
billion. The upward revision was attributable to a
$20.0 billion revision to valuation adjustments from
negative to positive and a $2.6 billion upward revision
to capital flows. The outward position for 2007 was re­
vised up $125.7 billion, to $2,916.9 billion. The revi­
sion was the result of the $22.6 billion upward revision
to the 2006 position, a $64.6 billion upward revision to
2007 capital flows, and a $38.5 billion upward revision
to 2007 valuation adjustments.
The historical-cost inward direct investment posi­
tion for 2006 was revised d o w n $3.4 billion, to
$1,840.5 billion. The small d ownward revision resulted
from a $3.9 billion downward revision to valuation ad­
justments and a partly offsetting upward revision of
$0.4 billion to capital inflows. The inward position for
2007 was revised up $16.8 billion, to $2,109.9 billion.
The revision was the net result of a $38.3 billion u p ­
ward revision to capital inflows, which was partly off­
set by an $18.1 billion downward revision to valuation
adjustments and the $3.4 billion downward revision to
the 2006 position.

I N JUNE, the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA)
released annual revisions of the U.S international
transactions accounts (ITAs) and the U.S. interna­
tional investment position. Through annual revisions,
B E A introduces n e w and improved definitions and
classifications, newly available and more complete
source data, improved estimation procedures, and n e w
and updated presentations that improve the reliability
and consistency of the statistics and address important
n e w developments in the U.S. and international econ­
omies.
For this annual revision, the most important change
is a n e w treatment of certain disaster-related losses re­
covered from international insurers. Under this n e w
treatment, B E A will record certain disaster-related in­
surance losses recovered in the capital account rather
than as a component of unilateral transfers in the cur­
rent account. This treatment is consistent with n e w in­
ternational standards and with the n e w treatment of
disaster-related losses that will be introduced in the
forthcoming comprehensive revision of the national
income and product accounts. The n e w treatment af­
fects statistics for 1992, 2001, 2004, 2005, and 2008.
Other significant changes introduced in this annual
revision include the following:
• Exports and imports of goods on a balance-of-payments basis were revised for 2001-2008. Revisions
to exports reflect revised Census Bureau sotelrce data
for civilian aircraft and improved procedures for
excluding goods that are included in transfers under
U.S. military agency sales contracts. Revisions to
imports incorporate n e w source data that improve
the coverage of locomotives and railcars.
• Services receipts and payments were revised for
2006-2008 to incorporate updated and revised data
from B E A ’s quarterly and benchmark surveys of
international services transactions. In addition,
transfers under U.S. military agency sales contracts
were revised to more completely account for train­
ing services and equipment provided to local secu­
rity forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Y u s k a v a g e

• Direct investment financial flows and related
income receipts and payments were revised for
2006-2008 to incorporate n e w quarterly and annual
data from B E A ’s surveys of U.S. direct investment
abroad and foreign direct investment in the United
States.
• Foreign securities financial flows as well as interest
receipts for foreign bonds and dividend receipts for
foreign stocks were revised for 2006-2008 to incor­
porate the results of the U.S. Treasury Department’s
annual survey of U.S. Ownership of Foreign Securi­
ties for December 2007 and revised source data.
• U.S. securities financial flows as well as interest pay­
ments for U.S. bonds and dividend payments for
U.S. stocks were revised for 2006-2008 to incorpo­
rate the results of the U.S. Treasury Department’s
annual survey of Foreign-Residents’ Holdings of
U.S. Securities for June 2008 and revised source
data.

• The presentation of the adjustment of “Censusbasis” merchandise trade data to a balance-of-payments basis was revised. These adjustments are
shown in table 2 in the quarterly ITA article in this
issue (see page 72).
Statistics for U.S. international transactions were re­
vised for 1992 and for 2001-2008. The revisions for
1992 were entirely due to the n e w treatment of certain
disaster-related insurance settlements. Revised statis­
tics for the detailed components of the U.S. interna­
tional transactions accounts for 1992 and 2001-2008
are shown in table 1 in the quarterly ITA article (see
page 66). S u m m a r y information on revisions for
2001-2008 is shown in table E in this article.
Despite several relatively large changes, this annual
revision has not significantly altered the overall picture
of U.S. international transactions or the U.S. interna­
tional investment position for the past several years.
The revised statistics for the current account show
nearly the same widening of the current-account defi­
cit through 2006, a larger decline in the deficit for
2007, and a smaller decline for 2008 (chart 1). The re­
vised statistics for the financial account continue to
show large reductions in net financial inflows during
the financial crisis even with significant downward re­
visions for 2007 and 2008 (chart 2). The upward revi­
sion to the statistical discrepancy for 2008— resulting
from opposing revisions to the current account and fi­
nancial account— highlights the importance of B E A ’s
continuing efforts to improve its coverage of interna­
tional transactions. For more information, see the box

“The Statistical Discrepancy in Periods of Economic
Turbulence.” The U.S. net international investment
position was revised slightly for both 2006 and 2007,
but the revisions did not significantly affect the net as­
set position of the United States relative to the rest of
the world.
This article is divided into two major sections. The
first section summarizes the impact of the revisions on
the statistics from the current, capital, and financial ac­
counts, including the statistical discrepancy, and the
international investment position. The second section
discusses the major changes in definitions, methodolo­
gies, source data, and presentation introduced in this
annual revision.
R e v is io n s

The revisions to the statistics resulted from updated
source data and the incorporation of n e w source data,
a n e w definition, and improved methodologies. The
majority of the revisions resulted from updated source
data. These changes affect all categories of the interna­
tional transactions accounts. Revisions to the financial
account were larger than those to the current and capi­
tal accounts. The annual revision is also the first time
that complete statistics on financial derivatives for the
preceding year are available, providing the first c o m ­
plete picture of 2008 transactions.

deficit was revised up for 1992, 2001, 2004-2006, and
2008, and it was revised d o w n for 2002, 2003, and
2007. The revised statistics show the same trend in the
current-account deficit as the previously published sta­
tistics. The deficit declined slightly in 2001, rose con­
tinuously through 2006, and then declined again in
2007 and 2008 (table A). In the revised statistics, h o w ­
ever, the increase in the deficit for 2005 and the de­
crease for 2007 are steeper, and the deficit for 2007 is
lower than the deficit for 2005. The steeper increase in
2005 is primarily due to an increase in net outflows of
net unilateral current transfers resulting from the n e w
treatment of disaster-related losses recovered. The
steeper decrease in 2007 is primarily due to a larger in­
crease in the surplus on income.
The decrease in the current-account deficit for 2008
is n o w noticeably smaller, primarily due to a smaller
increase in the surplus on income. The surplus on in­
c o me increased $27.4 billion in the revised statistics,
compared with $45.8 billion in the previously p u b ­
lished statistics. A larger increase in the deficit on
goods and a smaller increase in the surplus on services
also contributed.
Goods and services. The deficit on goods and ser­
vices was revised up for 2001 and 2004-2008 and re­
vised d o w n for 2002 and 2003. The largest revision was
for 2008. For that year, the combined deficit on goods
and services was revised up $14.8 billion. This reflects
the combined effects of an upward revision to the defi­
cit on goods of $19.4 billion and an upward revision to

the surplus on services of $4.6 billion. Exports of goods
and services were revised d o w n $9.2 billion; a d o w n ­
ward revision of $14.4 billion to goods was partly off­
set by an upward revision of $5.2 billion to services.
Imports of goods and services were revised up $5.6 bil­
lion; $5.0 billion was due to goods, and $0.6 billion was
due to services.
Goods were revised for 2001-2008; the largest revi­
sions were for 2006-2008 (table B). The deficit on
goods was revised up for 2001 and for 2004-2008, with
amounts ranging from $0.4 billion in 2001 to $19.4
billion in 2008. These revisions largely resulted from
significant downward revisions to goods exports re­
lated to revised source data for civilian aircraft. The
deficit on goods was revised d o w n slightly for both
2002 and 2003, largely the result of upward revisions to
goods exports for those years related to the n e w meth­
odology for identifying and excluding goods that are
recorded as transfers under U.S. military sales con­
tracts (a component of trade in services). Small u p ­
ward revisions to goods imports for 2001-2007 were
mostly related to the n e w source data for locomotives
and railcars. The revisions for 2001-2007 did not sig­
nificantly change the trends of exports, imports, and
the deficit on goods. For 2008, the increase in the defi­
cit on goods is n o w more pronounced, rising $9.3 bil­
lion, compared with $1.5 billion in the previously
published statistics. It contributed to the smaller de­
cline in the current-account deficit noted above.
Services were revised for 2006-2008. The services

surplus was revised up $1.9 billion for 2006, $10.5
billion for 2007, and $4.6 billion for 2008, largely re­
sulting from upward revisions to exports. Within ex­
ports, transfers under U.S. military agency sales
contracts were revised up significantly in all years to
more completely account for training and equipment
provided to local security forces in Iraq and Afghani­
stan.1Exports recorded under royalties and license fees
were also revised up for 2007 and 2008. A downward
revision to “other private services”— largely resulting
from downward revisions to business, professional,
and technical services— was partly offsetting. The revi­
sions to royalties and license fees and “other private
services” resulted from updated source data from B E A
surveys. Revisions to imports of services were generally
small. The exception is 2007, for which there were sig­
nificant downward revisions to “other private ser­
vices,” particularly business, professional, and
technical services.
Income. The surplus on income was revised d o w n
$9.1 billion for 2006, was revised up $9.1 billion for

military sales contracts described in the previous paragraph.

2007, and was revised d o w n $9.3 billion for 2008. Sig­
nificant revisions to direct investment payments, re­
sulting from updated source data from B E A surveys,
were the largest source of revision. Up wa rd revisions to
other private income receipts for 2007 and 2008 mostly
resulted from higher estimates of income earned on
foreign securities.
Transfers. Net outflows of unilateral current trans­
fers were revised up for 1992, 2001, 2004-2005, and
2007-2008. Net outflows of transfers for 2006 were re­
vised d o w n slightly. The largest revisions were for years
affected by the n e w treatment of disaster-related insur­
ance settlements (1992, 2001, 2004, 2005, and 2008).
These revisions affected private remittances and other
transfers. D o w n w a r d revisions to U.S. government
grants also contributed.

U pw ar d revisions to the capital account for 1992, 2001,
2004, and 2005 were entirely due to the n e w treatment
of disaster-related insurance settlements. These revi­
sions offset the revisions to private remittances and
other transfers. The large upward revision for 2008 was
also partly due to this n e w treatment. Downward,

revisions to the capital account for 2006 and 2007 were

Revisions to the financial account were m a d e for 20062008. Despite significant downward revisions to net fi­
nancial inflows for each year, the revisions did not alter
the picture of large declines in net financial inflows for
2007 and 2008 after a peak in 2006 (table A). Net fi­
nancial inflows, including financial derivatives, were
revised d o w n $29.9 billion for 2006, $110.8 billion for
2007, and $41.5 billion for 2008. For 2006 and 2007,
excluding financial derivatives, both U.S.-owned assets
abroad and foreign-owned assets in the United States
were revised up in absolute value. For 2008, both m a ­
jor categories of transactions were revised down. Net
financial derivatives were unrevised for 2006 and were
revised d o w n only slightly for 2007.2 For the most part,
these revisions reflect the incorporation of n e w source
data from the Treasury International Capital reporting
system.
U.S.-owned assets abroad. U.S.-owned assets
abroad excluding financial derivatives represent the net
acquisition of foreign assets by U.S. residents. These
transactions, in which net acquisitions are recorded as
outflows with a minus sign, were revised up (became
more negative) $34.0 billion for 2006 and $182.3 bil­
lion for 2007 (table C). As a result, U.S. net acquisi­
tions increased modestly in 2007 to a historically high
level. In the previously published statistics, U.S. net ac­
quisitions showed a slight increase. U.S.-owned assets
abroad were revised d o w n $52.4 billion for 2008. The
combination of these revisions resulted in an even
more precipitous decline for 2008 than had been
shown in the previously published statistics; U.S. net
acquisitions for 2008 were revised to less than $1 bil­
lion, a historically low level.
Components affected by the revisions include the
following:
• U.S. direct investment abroad. Strong upward revi­
sions for 2007 reflected updated annual and quar­
terly data from B E A ’s direct investment surveys.
• Foreign securities. For 2007, upward revisions to
foreign securities of $77.8 billion were the largest
contributor to the overall revision to U.S.-owned
assets abroad. Revisions for 2007 largely reflected
the incorporation of the U.S. Treasury Depart­
m ent’s annual survey of U.S. Ownership of Foreign
2. Net financial derivatives were -$ 2 8 .9 billion in 2008. Previously, pub­
lished statistics are not available, because data were not available for the
fourth quarter of 2008.

Securities for December 2007. For 2008, net sales of
foreign securities were revised d o w n $30.2 billion.
•Nonbank claims. For 2006, upward revisions
reflected updated annual and quarterly data from
B E A ’s direct investment surveys. For 2007 and 2008,
updated reporting related to the settlement of dis­
tressed debt strongly contributed to the overall revi­
sion for nonbank claims. For 2007, overall upward
revisions to claims by nonbanks were $39.8 billion,
and for 2008, overall downward revisions to claims
by nonbanks were $88.5 billion.

• B a n k claims. For 2006, upward revisions reflected
updated annual and quarterly data from B E A ’s
direct investment surveys.3
Foreign-owned assets in the United States. For­
eign-owned assets in the United States excluding fi­
nancial derivatives represent the net acquisition of U.S.
assets by foreign residents. These transactions, in
which net acquisitions are recorded as inflows with a
positive sign, were revised up $4.1 billion for 2006 and
$71.8 billion for 2007. As a result, foreign net acquisi­
tions of U.S. assets increased modestly from 2006 to a
historically high level in 2007. In contrast, the previ­
ously published statistics showed a slight decline. For
2008, foreign-owned assets in the United States were
revised d o w n $65.0 billion, accelerating an already
steep decline from 2007 levels.
M a n y of the larger revisions to the detailed c o m p o ­
nents for each year were offsetting. Components af­
fected by the revisions include the following:
• Official and private holdings of U.S. Treasury
securities. Official holdings of U.S. Treasury securi­
ties were revised up significantly for 2007 and 2008,
while private holdings were revised d o w n even
m ore significantly. The revisions were largely due to
updated data from the U.S. Treasury Department’s
annual survey of Foreign-Residents’ Holdings of
U.S. Securities for June 2008.
• Foreign direct investment in the United States.
Strong upward revisions of $38.2 billion for 2007
were largely due to updated annual and quarterly
data from B E A ’s direct investment surveys.
• Other foreign official assets and private holdings
of U.S. securities other than Treasury securities.
Other foreign official assets were revised up $30.0
billion for 2007 and 2008. For 2007, holdings of U.S.
securities other than Treasury securities were
revised up $31.8 billion. The upward revisions were
largely due to updated data from the U.S. Treasury
Department’s annual survey of Foreign-Residents’
Holdings of U.S. Securities for June 2008.
• U.S. liabilities to unaffiliated foreigners reported
b y U.S. nonbanking concerns. U pw a r d revisions
were related to updated data from B E A ’s annual and
quarterly direct investment surveys and to revised
supplemental transactions from foreign counter­
parties. Overall, nonbank liabilities were revised up
$45.4 billion for 2007.

In general, the revisions to the quarterly statistics for
exports, imports, income and transfers did not signifi­
cantly affect the previously published patterns of quar­
ter-to-quarter changes in the current-account deficit
(chart 3). However, some quarterly patterns were re­
vised because of the n e w treatment of certain disasterrelated insurance losses recovered. The effects of this
n e w treatment are concentrated in the specific quarters
w h e n the disasters occurred. As a result, the balance on
the current account, net unilateral current transfers,
private remittances and other transfers, and the capital
account were all significantly revised for the third
quarters of 1992, 2001, 2004, 2005, and 2008. For 2001,
2004, and 2005, the seasonally adjusted current-account deficit in the third quarter is n o w larger than the
deficit in the second quarter.
In addition to the sources of revisions outlined for
the annual statistics, the quarterly statistics incorpo­
rate revised seasonal factors for exports and imports of
goods and services and income flows. For most quar­
ters, the s u m of revisions from all sources did not sig­
nificantly affect the direction or magnitude of change
of the quarterly seasonally adjusted statistics for major
current-account aggregates. The revisions in change
were significant for just two quarters, the second quar­
ter of 2007 and the fourth quarter of 2008. The decline
in the current-account deficit for the second quarter of
2007 is n o w m u c h larger primarily because of revisions
in the surplus on income for the first and second quar­
ters of 2007. These revisions resulted from the incor­
poration of n e w survey data on direct investment

3. Survey data on direct investment affects U.S. claims reported by banks
because owner’s equity and permanent debt are included in direct invest­
ment statistics; bank claims are adjusted to avoid double-counting. Survey
data on direct investment affects U.S. claims reported by nonbanks because
nonbank claims include financial intermediaries’ intercompany debt
accounts for which data are collected in the direct investment surveys.

fourth quarter of 2008 primarily because of a large
downward revision to the surplus on income and an
upward revision to the deficit on goods.

Revisions to the quarterly statistics for net financial in­
flows, U.S.-owned assets abroad, and foreign-owned
assets in the United States largely reflected the revi­
sions to the annual statistics and for the most part did
not significantly affect the published patterns of quar­
ter-to-quarter changes (chart 4). Net financial inflows
for all quarters in 2006-2008 remained well below the
peak of $292.2 billion in the fourth quarter of 2005.
The revised statistics for the fourth quarter of 2008 still
show a sharp decline, despite a significant upward revi­
sion, to the lowest level of net financial inflows since
the second quarter of 2005. Net financial inflows were
revised d o w n for all quarters except for the second
quarter of 2006 and the fourth quarter of 2008. Both
U.S.-owned assets abroad and foreign-owned assets in
the United States were revised up for most quarters of
2006 and 2007 and d o w n for all quarters of 2008.
With one exception, directions of change were not
affected by the revisions. The exception is the first
quarter of 2008, which declined in the previously p u b ­
lished statistics but increased in the revised statistics.
The shift resulted from a large downward revision for
the fourth quarter of 2007. The downward revision
was more than accounted for by a $94.8 billion upward
revision to U.S.-owned assets abroad. The latter partly
reflects a revision to nonbank claims. Although this re-

vision did not affect the direction of change from the
third quarter to the fourth quarter of 2007, it signifi­
cantly reduced the size of the increase.
The increase in net financial inflows for the second
quarter of 2006 was revised up sharply from $4.6 bil­
lion to $38.2 billion, reflecting the combination of a
downward revision for the first quarter of 2006 and an
upward revision for the second quarter of 2006. The
downward revision for the first quarter was primarily
due to a higher level of U.S. bank and nonbank claims.
The upward revision for the second quarter was pri­
marily due to a lower level of U.S. direct investment
abroad.

In principle, net financial inflows should equal the
combined balances on the current account and capital
account. In practice, they usually differ, sometimes by
large amounts, because of incomplete source data,
gaps in coverage, or other omissions. For certain peri­
ods, revisions to net financial inflows plus financial de­
rivatives differed significantly from the revisions to the
combined deficits of the current account and capital
account. As a result, revisions to the statistical discrep­
ancy were relatively large for some periods. For 2006,
the revisions m o v e d the statistical discrepancy close to
zero. For 2007 and 2008, however, opposing revisions
resulted in larger statistical discrepancies. B E A contin­
ues to conduct research and work closely with its
source data partners to address concerns about the size
of the statistical discrepancy. See the box “The Statisti­
cal Discrepancy During Periods of Economic Turbu­
lence.”

The Statistical Discrepancy in Periods of Economic Turbulence
The U.S. international transaction accounts (ITAs) pro­
vide an integrated set of accounts that portray, for a given
period, the flows of goods, services, income, and transfers
between the United States and other countries. The ITAs
consist of the current account, the capital account, and
the financial account. The current account depicts flows
associated with exports and imports of goods and ser­
vices, cross-border income receipts and payments, and
net unilateral current transfers. The capital account mea­
sures capital transfers and the acquisition or disposal of
nonproduced, nonfinancial assets. The financial account
records the net acquisition of U.S. assets abroad, foreign
net acquisition of assets in the United States, and finan­
cial flows under derivatives contracts.
In principle, the deficit (or surplus) on the combined
current and capital accounts equals net foreign inflows
(or outflows) in the financial account. This relationship
follows from the accounting identity that domestic
investment equals domestic saving plus net foreign
investment. In practice, however, because of data gaps,
omissions, and other measurement issues, the accounting
identity doesn’t hold exactly; that is, the statistical dis­
crepancy never exactly equals zero.
W h e n net financial inflows are less than the combined
current- and capital-account deficits, the statistical dis­
crepancy is positive. W h e n net financial inflows are
greater than the combined current- and capital-account
deficits, the statistical discrepancy is negative. Viewed in
this way, the statistical discrepancy can be interpreted as a
component of the net financing of the combined currentand capital-account deficits, and its size can then be eval­
uated relative to the size of the combined deficits.
For the past several quarters, the value of the statistical
discrepancy has been relatively large and positive, indi­
cating a shortfall of measured net financial inflows rela­
tive to the combined current- and capital-account
deficits. Large positive or negative values for the statisti­
cal discrepancy are a cause for concern because these val­
ues can signal measurement problems in one or more of
the components of the current, capital, or financial
accounts. Persistence in the sign of the statistical discrep­
ancy (positive or negative) for several quarters is may also
signify systematic overstatement or understatement in
one or more sets of accounts. In contrast, quarterly
changes in the sign of the statistical discrepancy may sim­
ply indicate differences in the timing of recording trans­
actions in various components of the accounts. Large
statistical discrepancies with persistent signs hamper the
interpretation of overall trends and patterns in the
accounts.
History suggests that the size of the statistical discrep­
ancy may tend to be greatest during periods of unsettled
financial market conditions. For 2008, a year marked by
financial market turbulence, the statistical discrepancy
was $200.5 billion, the largest since 1998 when it was
$148.9 billion. Like 2008, 1998 was affected by several
unusual financial market developments, including the



East Asian financial crisis that started in 1997 and contin­
ued into 1998, the Russian financial crisis, and the col­
lapse of Long-Term Capital Management, a large hedge
fund. In 1998, the statistical discrepancy represented 69
percent of the combined current- and capital-account
deficits, whereas in 2008, despite its large absolute size, it
represented 28 percent. The statistical discrepancy was
also large in relative terms in 1997 and each year in
1988-92, a period that included the recession of 1990-91.
In addition to its relatively large size in recent years, the
statistical discrepancy has been positive for seven consec­
utive quarters starting with the third quarter of 2007
through the first quarter of 2009. A similar pattern was
observed for 1998-99, when the discrepancy was positive
for seven consecutive quarters from the first quarter of
1998 through the third quarter of 1999.
B E A has taken several steps over the last decade to
reduce or eliminate gaps and omissions in the ITAs that
may have contributed to the statistical discrepancy. In
general, BEA believes that the gaps and omissions in the
source data for the current account are not as great as
those for the financial account, especially for claims and
liabilities reported by nonbanking concerns.
Starting with data for 2006, B E A has included mea­
sures of net flows under financial derivative contracts.
Last year, the financial account was improved by includ­
ing measures of missing flows related to the issuance of
asset-backed commercial paper by offshore special pur­
pose vehicles. For the current account, measures of ser­
vices exports and imports were improved last year,
starting with 2006, by combining the collection of trans­
actions between both affiliated and unaffiliated parties in
a single survey instrument and expanding the detail for
affiliated transactions. B E A will continue to research and
work closely with its source data partners— including the
Census Bureau, the Treasury Department, and the Fed­
eral Reserve Board— to reduce the size and persistence of
the statistical discrepancy.

This section identifies the changes in definitions and
methodologies introduced in this annual revision, de­
scribes the accounts, components, and periods af­
fected, briefly discusses the rationale for the change,
and describes changes in presentation. Changes in def­
initions and classifications are discussed first, followed
by changes in methodologies and source data. Changes
in definitions and classifications represent n e w or i m ­
proved views of the economic accounting concepts and
principles that should be measured in the accounts.
Changes in methodologies and source data provide
better statistical measures of specific concepts or prin­
ciples.

Changes in definitions and classifications
For this annual revision, the only change in definitions
or classifications is a n e w treatment of certain disasterrelated losses recovered from international insurance
companies. This change affects private remittances and
other transfers, a component of net unilateral current
transfers in the current account, and the capital ac­
count. Periods with revised statistics are those with
major disasters. A similar change in treatment will be
introduced in the upcoming comprehensive revision of
the national income and product accounts (NIPAs).5
B E A defines and measures insurance services as pre­
m i u m s minus “normal” losses, where normal losses
are inferred from the relationship of actual losses to
premiums averaged over several years plus pre mi um
supplements (income deemed to be the property of
policyholders) and auxiliary insurance services.6 Dif­
ferences between actual and normal losses must be ac­
counted for with offsetting entries. Under the prior
treatment, the entire a mount of the offsets were en­
tered (on a net basis) as part of unilateral current
transfers, as was recommended by international guide­
lines.
This treatment led to conceptual problems in quar­
ters w h e n major natural or m a n - m a d e disasters re­
sulted in large inflows of losses recovered from
international insurers. In these quarters, actual losses
recovered exceeded normal losses, resulting in sharp
increases (inflows) in current unilateral transfers.
However, insurance companies pay disaster-related
losses out of reserves that are set up for this purpose
and investment income, not from their current ac­

hensive Revision of the NIPAs: Changes in Definitions and Presentations”

L. Bach, “Annual Revision of the U.S. International Accounts, 1992-2002,”

the U.S. International Accounts, 1995-2005,” Survey 86 (July 2006): 42.

count. Because the actual losses recovered were not
paid out of income arising from current production,
the inclusion of transfers associated with these losses in
the current account introduced volatility that was not
related to income from production in the current
quarter. Economic accounting principles suggest that
activities that are primarily related to the income state­
ment should appear in the current account, whereas
activities that are primarily related to the balance sheet
should appear in the capital account. In addition, a
large percentage of disaster-related losses recovered are
for damage to buildings and other capital assets. Be­
cause they arise from the loss of capital and are in­
tended to fund the replacement of capital, it is
inappropriate to include these losses in the current ac­
count.
Beginning with this year’s annual revision, B E A will
record certain disaster-related losses recovered in the
capital account. This n e w treatment acknowledges the
capital nature of disaster-related losses, and removes
the volatility not related to current production. In ad­
dition, this treatment corresponds with recently re­
vised international guidelines in the International
Monetary Fund’s Balance of Payments and Interna­
tional Investment Position Manual (6th edition) and the
2008 System of National Accounts. The n e w treatment
does not affect the estimation of insurance services, or
the treatment of catastrophic losses in that estimation.
This n e w treatment affects statistics for the third
quarters of 1992, 2001, 2004, 2005, and 2008 (table D).
These revisions remove a large amount of the volatility
from current transfers and introduce additional vola­
tility into the capital account.
The revisions presented here are consistent with
those that will be m a d e to “the rest of the world” (in­
ternational) transactions in the upcoming N I P A revi­
sion.7 Disaster-related losses recovered from insurance
companies, including those from “the rest of the

nent, the NIPA revisions to domestic transactions include more quarters.

Current account
Several changes in methodologies and source data were
introduced that improve the statistics on merchandise
exports and imports. In addition, source data were u p ­
dated for services, income, and transfers.
A n e w methodology was introduced for calculating
the adjustment to “Census-basis” merchandise trade
data for exports transferred under U.S. military agency
sales contracts (see table 2, part A, line 5, page 72).8
Goods exported under these contracts are included as
exports of services in the international transaction ac­
counts (see table 1, line 5, page 66) because both goods
and services are provided through these contracts and
are commingled in the source data. To avoid double­
counting, an adjustment is m a d e to remove these
goods from the “Census-basis” data. Under the previ­
ous methodology, Harmonized Tariff System codes
were used to identify and remove all military-type
transactions. The n e w methodology, introduced start­
ing with statistics for 2002, identifies specific goods ex­
ported through U.S. military agency sales contracts
and removes these goods from the “Census-basis”
data. The n e w methodology yielded smaller adjust­
ments for 2002-2007 and a larger adjustment for 2008.
A n e w adjustment to “Census-basis” merchandise
trade data (see table 2, part A, line 12, page 72) was in­
troduced to account for imports of locomotives and
railcars from Mexico and Canada. In the late 1990s, a
change in U.S. trade law eliminated the requirement
for U.S. importers of locomotives and railcars to file
certain U.S. Customs documents, creating a gap in the
reported data. To close this reporting gap, beginning
with statistics for 2001, B E A introduced a n e w adjust­
ment, based on actual trade data reported by U.S. trade
partners.
Other changes include the following:
• The introduction of revised source data for exports
of civilian aircraft. Exports of civilian aircraft were
revised d o w n for 2004-2008.
• In services, n e w transactions were included in trans­
fers under U.S. military agency sales contracts to
more completely account for training services and
equipment provided to local security forces in Iraq
and Afghanistan. Transfers under U.S. military

Bureau from the documents collected by the U.S. Customs and Border Pro­
tection. BEA adjusts the “Census-basis” data for coverage and valuation to
bring them into conformity with balance-of-payments concepts.

agency sales contracts were revised up for 20062008.
• The incorporation of updated and revised quarterly
data, collected on B E A surveys, on receipts and pay­
ments of private services for 2006-2008. In last
year’s annual revision, B E A published total trade
(affiliated and unaffiliated) for all types of private
services for the first time.
• The incorporation of annual survey data on direct
investment financial flows and investment income
for 2006-2007 and quarterly survey data for 20062008.

Financial account
The annual revision introduced n e w and improved
source data from the U.S. Treasury Department’s an­
nual survey of U.S. Ownership of Foreign Securities for
December 2007 and its annual survey of Foreign-Resi­
dents’ Holdings of U.S. Securities for June 2008. The
incorporation of data from these surveys led to revised
position statistics for m a n y types of holdings for 2007
and had a significant impact on n e w position statistics
for 2008. There were related revisions to income re­
ceipts and payments. Most categories of financial
transactions were also revised to account for n e w sur­
vey results; however, there were no revisions to net
transactions related to foreign official holdings of
agency bonds or to net transactions related to foreign
official holdings of corporate bonds. Revisions to net
transactions related to private holdings of corporate
bonds were entirely related to revisions to other u p ­
dated source data. Below is a s u m m a r y of survey-re­
lated revisions to positions for 2007.
Foreign stocks and bonds. Positions were revised
for 2007 to incorporate the results from the U.S. Trea­
sury Department’s annual survey of U.S. Ownership of
Foreign Securities for December 2007. Positions for
foreign stocks were revised up $77.6 billion; there were
very small downward revisions related to other u p ­
dated source data. Positions for foreign bonds were re­
vised up $103.0 billion; there were additional upward
revisions related to other updated source data.
Treasury bonds. Positions for private and foreign
official holdings were revised for 2007 to incorporate
the results from the U.S. Treasury Department’s annual
survey of Foreign-Residents’ Holdings of U.S. Securi­
ties for June 2008 (June 2008 survey). Foreign official
holdings were revised up $37.3 billion. Private hold­
ings were revised d o w n $97.7 billion; there were small
upward revisions related to other updated source data.
U.S. agency bonds. Positions for foreign official and
private holdings were also revised to incorporate

results from the June 2008 survey. Foreign official
holdings were revised d o w n $2.1 billion. Private hold­
ings were revised d o w n $17.6 billion; there were small
upward revisions related to other updated source data.
Corporate bonds and stocks. Positions for foreign
official and private foreign holdings were revised to in­
corporate results from the June 2008 survey. Private
holdings of U.S. corporate bonds were revised d o w n
$6.9 billion; upward revisions related to other updated
source data were more than offsetting. Official hold­
ings were revised d o w n $26.6 billion. Private holdings
of U.S. stocks were revised up $68.0 billion; there were
very small downward revisions related to other u p ­

Changes in presentation
Several modifications have been m a d e to part A of ta­
ble 2 (see page 72). Part A presents the adjustments
m a d e to convert exports and imports of goods from a
“Census basis” to the balance-of-payments basis used
for the international transactions accounts. Lines for
adjustments that are no longer needed for the reconcil­
iation were eliminated, and n e w lines were added to
separately identify large adjustments that had been in­
cluded under “other adjustments, net.” Small adjust­
ments were m o v e d to the “other adjustments, net” line.
For exports, the adjustment “repair of equipment,”

Implementing New International Standards
Late last year, the International Monetary Fund released
the sixth edition of the Balance o f Payments and Interna­
tional Investment Position Manual. This update, the first
since 1993, was coordinated with the update of the Sys­
tem o f National Accounts in order to increase consistency
between the two sets of international guidelines. At about
the same time, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development updated its Benchmark Definition
o f Foreign Direct Investment. The release of these updated
standards provides an opportunity for B E A to consider
introducing new treatments that bring its international
economic accounts into closer alignment with the
accounts of other nations. It also provides an opportu­
nity to consider changes in definitions, classifications,
methodology, and presentation that are not related to the
new standards but that further enhance the overall qual­
ity and usefulness of the accounts.
BEA’s international economic accounts directorate has
formed a steering committee to develop a strategy and
establish processes for identifying, evaluating, and ulti­
mately implementing new international standards and
other important changes. The committee will consider
not only the economic and statistical significance of pro­
posed changes but also practical matters such as resource
requirements, source data availability, data processing
needs, estimation issues, and implications for publication
tables and data dissemination. This comprehensive
review will provide an opportunity to rethink both prod­
ucts and processes and BEA’s relationships with its cus­
tomers and suppliers.
B EA will ultimately focus its efforts on those changes
that will improve the comparability of the international
economic accounts with the accounts of other nations,
especially major trading and investment partners, and
will further integrate BEA’s international, national,
industry, and regional economic accounts. Some of the
recommendations in the new international standards are
relatively straightforward and, in principle, should not be
difficult to implement, although practical problems




45

could arise. For example, this article describes the imple­
mentation of a new treatment of disaster-related insur­
ance losses recovered that was first proposed in the
System o f National Accounts update and ultimately
appeared in the Balance o f Payments and International
Investment Position Manual. Implementing this change
did not require new source data and could be handled
within the framework of the existing data processing sys­
tem. Some of the other recommended changes are pri­
marily changes in presentation of existing data that
would result in changes to table formats but that would
not require new source data. Other changes are more
complex and would require new source data, new meth­
odologies and presentations, and possibly new data pro­
cessing applications. For example, the updated manual
recommends that goods that cross borders simply for
further processing and do not change ownership (goods
for processing) should not be included in merchandise
exports and imports. Instead, the value of the processing
service (the processing fee) should be treated as trade in
services. If implemented in its entirety, this recommen­
dation would require not only the collection of new data
on processing services but also an adjustment of mer­
chandise trade data to exclude particular types of goods
from both exports and imports.
As part of its review of the new standards and evalua­
tion of the feasibility of implementing changes, B E A will
consult with both its source data suppliers and its major
external and internal customers to determine ifnew data
can be obtained and to understand the challenges that
customers will face in their use of B E A statistics. B E A
views the implementation of new standards and other
major changes as a multiyear process that will occur in
phases. However, B E A plans to begin introducing
changes in the annual revision scheduled to be released in
June 2010. BE A looks forward to working with its cus­
tomers and suppliers as it further develops plans for
implementing new international standards and other
improvements to the international accounts.

Survey of Current Business

The line for “U.S.-Canadian reconciliation adjust­
ments, n.e.c., net” has been eliminated because the
source data n o w include this adjustment. The adjust­
ment “electric energy” is n o w included with other ad­
justments with relatively smaller values in “other
adjustments, net ”
A minor modification was also m a d e to table 2, part

47

C “trade in goods, by principal end-use category” O n
the import side, in “capital goods, except automotive”
(line 116, page 80), the line for “transportation equip­
ment, except automotive” was eliminated, and a line
for “other transportation equipment” was added. The
n e w layout is consistent with the comparable layout on
the export side.

Like most of the U.S. economic accounts produced by the
Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), the estimates of
financial-account transactions in the international trans­
actions accounts (ITAs) are based largely on source data
collected by other federal government agencies— in this
case, by the Treasury International Capital (TIC) report­
ing system of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. The
presentation of the adjustments undertaken by B E A to
align and to augment these data for inclusion in the
financial account can help data users reconcile B EA’s
financial-account estimates with the TIC data that are
available to the public on the Treasury Department’s W e b
site and in the Treasury Bulletin.
The relationships between the estimates in the ITAs
that are prepared by B E A and the data from the TIC
reporting system are shown in tables 1-3. Table 1 pre­
sents statistics on transactions in foreign long-term secu­
rities; U.S. long-term securities, excluding U.S. Treasury
securities; and U.S. Treasury securities. Table 2 presents
the estimates of claims on, and liabilities to, foreigners
reported by U.S. nonbanking concerns. Table 3 presents
the estimates of claims on, and liabilities to, foreigners
reported by U.S. banks.
In tables 1-3, the numerous adjustments that B E A
makes to the TIC source data in order to align the data
with balance-of-payments concepts and to close gaps in
coverage are identified. In addition, examples of both
types of adjustments are presented below.
Aligning with balance-of-payments concepts. The
TIC data for gross U.S. purchases of foreign stocks and

bonds (table 1, line Al) include the commissions that are
paid by the U.S. purchasers to foreign brokers. In the
ITAs, payments of commissions to foreigners are treated
as payments for financial services, not as purchases of
securities, and these payments are included in the current
account, not in the financial account. Therefore, B E A
adjusts the TIC data for gross U.S. purchases by subtract­
ing an estimate of payments of brokerage commissions
(line A3) from the data for gross purchases.
Similarly, the TIC data for gross U.S. sales of foreign
stocks and bonds (line A6) represent the proceeds from
sales less the commissions paid by U.S. sellers to foreign
brokers. To capture the total value of securities sold, B E A
adds an estimate of brokerage commissions (line A7) to
the TIC sales data.
Closing gaps in coverage. The TIC data for gross U.S.
purchases of foreign stocks and bonds do not fully cover
some transactions, such as acquisitions of U.S. companies
by foreigners w h o finance their purchases through
exchanges of stock. These stock swap transactions may
bypass the U.S. brokers and dealers w h o are the primary
respondents to the TIC survey on securities transactions.
W h e n stock is exchanged, the U.S. persons w h o previously
held securities in the acquired U.S. company receive shares
in the acquiring foreign corporation, and the receipt of
these shares should be recorded in the ITAs as the acquisi­
tion, or purchase, of foreign long-term securities.
In order to account for this gap in coverage in the TIC
data, B E A adds an estimate of security swap transactions
and other coverage adjustments (line A2) to the TIC data.

H E U.S. current-account deficit— the combined
balances on trade in goods and services, income,
and net unilateral current transfers— decreased to
$101.5 billion (preliminary) in the first quarter of
2009, the smallest deficit since the fourth quarter of
2001, from $154.9 billion (revised) in the fourth quar­
ter of 2008 (table A, chart l).1 The decrease resulted
from decreases in the deficit on goods and, to a m u c h
lesser extent, in net unilateral current transfers to for­
eigners. These decreases were partly offset by decreases
in the surpluses on income and on services. The cur­
rent-account deficit has decreased $82.7 billion, or 45
percent, over the past two quarters.
In the financial account, net financial inflows to the
United States were $47.1 billion in the first quarter,
d o w n from $88.3 billion in the fourth quarter.2 U.S.

1. Quarterly estimates of U.S. current-account and financial-account
components are seasonally adjusted when series demonstrate statistically
significant seasonal patterns. When available, seasonally adjusted estimates
are cited in this article. The accompanying tables present both adjusted and
unadjusted estimates.
2. First-quarter net financial inflows exclude transactions in financial
derivatives because data are not yet available. Fourth-quarter net financial
inflows excluding transactions in financial derivatives were $102.8 billion.

residents reduced their assets abroad more than for­
eign residents reduced their assets in the United States
in both quarters. The reduction in U.S.-owned assets
exceeded the reduction in foreign-owned assets by a
smaller amount in the first quarter than in the fourth
quarter, resulting in the decline in net financial in­
flows.
The statistical discrepancy— errors and omissions in
recorded transactions— was $55.1 billion in the first
quarter, compared with $67.2 billion in the fourth
quarter.
Current-account highlights include the following:
• Exports of goods decreased 14 percent in the first
quarter after a decline of 14 percent in the fourth
quarter, and imports of goods decreased 20 percent
after a decline of 16 percent.
• Both exports and imports of services decreased 6
percent after declines of 5 percent.
• Income receipts decreased 20 percent after a 14 per­
cent drop, and income payments decreased 21 per­
cent after a 9 percent drop.
Financial-account highlights include the following:
• U.S. government assets other than official reserve

assets decreased strongly as a result of the reversal of
some previous central bank currency swaps.
• U.S. claims on foreigners reported by U.S. banks
and securities brokers increased for the first time in
four quarters. U.S. liabilities to foreigners reported
by U.S. banks and securities brokers decreased
m u c h m ore in the first quarter than in the fourth
quarter.
• U.S. residents were net purchasers of foreign securi­
ties. In the previous two quarters, they were net sell­
ers.
• Net foreign purchases of U.S. Treasury securities
decreased, and net foreign sales of U.S. securities
other than U.S. Treasury securities increased.
• Both net financial inflows for foreign direct invest­
ment in the United States and net financial outflows
for U.S. direct investment abroad slowed substan­
tially.

The deficit on goods and services decreased to $91.2
billion in the first quarter of 2009 from $144.5 billion
in the fourth quarter of 2008 (chart 1). A $54.8 billion
decrease in the goods deficit was partly offset by a $1.5
billion decrease in the services surplus.

Goods
The goods deficit decreased to $124.0 billion in the
first quarter, the smallest deficit since the third quarter
of 2002, from $178.8 billion in the fourth quarter. The
goods deficit has decreased $97.1 billion, or 44 percent,
over the last two quarters, as goods imports have de­
creased more than goods exports both in dollar terms
and in percentage terms (chart 2).

Services: Percent Change From Preceding Quarter

Current-dollar imports of petroleum and products
fell sharply, leading to a second consecutive large drop
in the deficit on petroleum and products (chart 3). The
deficit on nonpetroleum products also fell substan­
tially.
Exports. Exports of goods decreased $41.2 billion,
or 14.2 percent, to $249.4 billion (table B). Real ex­
ports decreased 11.5 percent, and export prices fell 3.0

The decreases in exports and imports have largely
resulted from the global economic slowdown, which
has caused global trade volume to contract sharply.
Real, or price-adjusted, U.S. exports of goods fell 11
percent in the first quarter after a decline of 7 percent
in the fourth quarter, and real U.S. imports of goods
fell 12 percent after a decline of 4 percent. Export and
import prices have also decreased, but prices fell less in
the first quarter than in the fourth quarter.

percent.3 The percentage drop in current-dollar ex­
ports slightly surpassed the fourth quarter’s decline as
the largest percentage decrease on record. All major
commodity categories of exports fell sharply for the
second consecutive quarter.
Nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials
decreased $14.7 billion, or 19 percent. These c o m m o d ­
ities were the largest contributor to the drop in total
exports for the second consecutive quarter as a result
of substantial declines in both export volume and
prices. As in the fourth quarter, the largest declines
were in chemicals, in metals and nonmetallic products,
and in petroleum and products, although these c o m ­
modities decreased less in the first quarter than in the
fourth quarter.
Capital goods decreased $10.6 billion, or 10 percent.
Civilian aircraft, engines, and parts rebounded
strongly after a large fourth-quarter decline. In con­
trast, capital goods except civilian aircraft decreased
m u c h more in the first quarter than in the fourth quar­
ter. Nearly all commodity categories decreased, but de­
clines were particularly large in “other” industrial,
agricultural, and service industry machinery, in oil
drilling, mining, and construction machinery, and in
semiconductors.
Automotive vehicles, parts, and engines decreased
$9.7 billion, or 36 percent. The decrease, which fol­
lowed a 14 percent decline in the previous quarter, was
mostly accounted for by a 47 percent drop in passenger
car exports. Shipments of passenger cars to Canada,
Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East all de­
creased. Exports of engines and parts also fell sharply.
Consumer goods decreased $2.5 billion, or 6 per­
cent. Durable goods decreased substantially for the
second consecutive quarter. Nearly all major categories
of durable goods declined, but the largest decreases
were in “other” durable goods and in household and
kitchen appliances and other household goods.
3. Quantity (real) estimates are calculated using a chain-type Fisher for­
mula with annual weights for all years and quarterly weights for all quar­
ters. Real estimates are expressed as chained (2000) dollars. Price indexes
are also calculated using a chain-type Fisher formula.

59

Agricultural products decreased $2.1 billion, or 8
percent. The decrease was considerably smaller than
the decrease in the fourth quarter, as the prices of
m a n y agricultural products stabilized in the first quar­
ter after falling substantially in the fourth quarter. The
largest decreases in exports in the first quarter were in
grains and preparations, such as wheat and corn, and
in raw cotton.
Imports. Imports of goods decreased $96.0 billion,
or 20.4 percent, to $373.4 billion (table B). Real i m ­
ports decreased 12.1 percent, and import prices fell 9.5
percent. The percentage drop in current-dollar i m ­
ports surpassed the fourth quarter’s 16 percent decline
as the largest percentage decrease in imports on record.
All major commodity categories of imports fell sharply
for the second consecutive quarter, but the largest de­
crease was in petroleum and products.
Petroleum and products decreased $33.2 billion, or
39 percent in the first quarter after a 35 percent decline
in the fourth quarter (chart 4). The average price per
barrel of petroleum fell 39 percent to $41.60, mostly as
a result of a large price drop in January. In contrast, the
average n umber of barrels imported daily increased 1
percent to 13.76 million. More than half of the de­
crease in current-dollar petroleum imports was ac­
counted for by a drop in imports from members of
O P E C , mainly Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, and Venezuela.
Nonpetroleum industrial supplies and materials de­
creased $18.5 billion, or 25 percent. These c o m m o d i ­
ties were the largest contributors to the decline in
nonpetroleum imports for the second consecutive

quarter as a result of substantial declines in both i m ­
port volume and prices. Nearly all commodity catego­
ries decreased substantially, but the largest declines
were in chemicals, in steel-related products, in nonfer­
rous metals, and in natural gas.
Automotive vehicles, parts, and engines decreased
$17.5 billion, or 35 percent. The decrease followed a 14
percent decline in the previous quarter and smaller de­
creases in the preceding four quarters. The large de­
clines in the past two quarters were concentrated in
imports of passenger cars, as the U.S. automotive sec­
tor experienced substantial difficulties.
Capital goods decreased $15.1 billion, or 14 percent
in the first quarter after a 7 percent drop in the fourth
quarter. All commodity categories decreased substan­
tially, reflecting a large decline in U.S. gross private do­
mestic investment in equipment and software for the
second consecutive quarter. The largest decreases in
imports were in “other” industrial, agricultural, and
service industry machinery, in electric generating m a ­
chinery and electric apparatus, in oil drilling, mining,
and construction machinery, in computers, peripher­
als, and parts, and in telecommunications equipment.
Consumer goods decreased $8.4 billion, or 7 per­
cent. As in the fourth quarter, three-fourths of the de­
crease in the first quarter was accounted for by durable
goods. Nearly all categories of durable goods fell sub­
stantially. Nondurable goods also decreased, largely as
a result of a drop in apparel, footwear, and household
goods.
Balances by area. The goods deficit decreased $54.8
billion to $124.0 billion in the first quarter. The deficit

with Asia and Pacific decreased $24.3 billion, mostly as
a result of declines in the deficits with China and, to a
lesser extent, with Japan. The deficit with Europe de­
creased $10.8 billion, as the deficits with Ge rmany and
France decreased and the balances with the United
K ing do m and Switzerland shifted from deficits to sur­
pluses. The deficit with Africa decreased $7.0 billion,
and the deficit with the Middle East decreased $4.9 bil­
lion. The decreases mostly reflected drops in petro­
leum imports from O P E C mem b er s in those areas.

Services
The surplus on services decreased to $32.8 billion in
the first quarter from $34.3 billion in the fourth quar­
ter. Services receipts decreased $7.7 billion, or 6 per­
cent, to $125.9 billion. Services payments decreased
$6.2 billion, or 6 percent, to $93.1 billion (chart 2).
Travel receipts, which include purchases of goods
and services by foreign visitors to the United States, fell
$2.3 billion to $23.8 billion. Travel receipts have de­
creased substantially in the past two quarters, as the re­
cent appreciation of the dollar against m a n y foreign
currencies and the slowdown in global economic activ­
ity have reduced the n umber of foreign visitors to the
United States (table C, chart 5). Travel payments,
which include purchases of goods and services by U.S.
travelers abroad, decreased $0.9 billion to $18.6 billion,
as the n u m b e r of U.S. visitors abroad fell at a stronger
rate than in the fourth quarter.
Passenger fare receipts decreased $0.9 billion to $7.0
billion, and passenger fare payments decreased $1.1
billion to $7.2 billion. The decreases, which were the

largest since the fourth quarter of 2001, reflected the
considerable drop in the numb e r of people traveling
between the United States and countries overseas in
the first quarter.
“Other” transportation receipts decreased $2.6 bil­
lion to $10.6 billion. Receipts for port services and for
freight fell substantially for the second consecutive
quarter. The decrease in port services resulted from
foreign carriers’ reduced expenditures in U.S. ports,
arising from declines in the volume of U.S. goods ex­
ports and imports and in fuel prices. Freight receipts
tumbled as a result of the drop in export volume.
“Other” transportation payments decreased $2.8 bil­
lion to $13.9 billion. As with receipts, payments for
freight and for port services fell substantially for the
second straight quarter. The drop in freight payments
largely resulted from the drop in the volume of U.S.
goods imports. Port services payments fell as a result of
U.S. carriers’ reduced expenditures in foreign ports,
arising from the decreases in import and export vol­
u m e and in fuel prices.

“Other” private services receipts decreased $1.0 bil­
lion to $57.0 billion, and “other” private services pay­
ments decreased $0.5 billion to $38.0 billion. The
decreases mostly resulted from decreases in receipts
and payments for business, professional, and technical
services.
In c o m

e

The surplus on income decreased to $19.3 billion in
the first quarter from $21.1 billion in the fourth quar­
ter. Income receipts decreased $33.3 billion, or 20 per­
cent, to $134.3 billion. Income payments decreased
$31.5 billion, or 21 percent, to $115.0 billion (chart 6).
Receipts of income on U.S. direct investment abroad
decreased $13.7 billion to $62.1 billion. Foreign affili­
ates’ earnings fell sharply for the second consecutive
quarter amid the slowdown in global economic activ­
ity, the recent appreciation of the U.S. dollar against
most major foreign currencies, and the unsettled con­
ditions in financial markets. In the first quarter, earn­
ings in all major industry categories and in most major
geographic regions decreased.
Payments of income on foreign direct investment in
the United States decreased $14.4 billion to $10.0 bil­
lion, the lowest level since the fourth quarter of 2002.
U.S. affiliates’ earnings fell sharply, reflecting lower
earnings in all major industry categories. Earnings of
finance and insurance affiliates were negative in the
first quarter after having been positive in the fourth

quarter, mainly as a result of a shift from profits to
losses by nondepository institutions. A m o n g manufac­
turing affiliates, earnings of affiliates in transportation
equipment and in computers and electronic products
were negative after having been positive, and earnings
of chemical affiliates decreased.
“Other” private income receipts decreased $20.0 bil­
lion to $69.0 billion, and “other” private income pay­
ments decreased $14.0 billion to $65.9 billion. The
decreases mostly resulted from declines in interest re­
ceipts on banks’ and nonbanks’ claims and in interest
payments on banks’ and nonbanks’ liabilities. These
claims and liabilities are mostly dollar-denominated,
short-term instruments, and the average interest rates
on them were lower in the first quarter than in the
fourth quarter, reflecting the considerable easing of
U.S. monetary policy near the end of the fourth quar­
ter. Income receipts and payments on securities de­
creased as a result of decreases in receipts and
payments of dividends.
U.S. government income receipts increased $0.3 bil­
lion to $2.5 billion. U.S. government income payments
decreased $3.0 billion to $36.5 billion, mainly as a re­
sult of a decline in payments on agency bonds.
Receipts for compensation of U.S. workers abroad
were virtually unchanged at $0.7 billion, and payments
for compensation of foreign workers in the United
States were virtually unchanged at $2.6 billion.

Net unilateral current transfers to foreigners were

Financial-account transactions continued to be af­
fected by the unsettled conditions in global financial
markets. In the quarters immediately preceding the
third quarter of 2007, foreign residents strongly in­
creased their assets in the United States. After the start
of market difficulties in the third quarter of 2007, for­
eigners increased their total U.S. assets less strongly. In
the fourth quarter of 2008, they reduced their total
U.S. assets for the first time in nearly 19 years, as con­
4. Capital-account transactions consist largely of changes in the financial
assets of migrants as they enter or leave the United States and U.S. govern­
ment debt forgiveness. These transactions now also include certain disasterrelated insurance settlements. For more information, see “Annual Revision
of the U.S. International Accounts” in this issue.




ditions in global financial markets deteriorated. In the
first quarter of 2009, foreigners again reduced their
U.S. assets, as m a n y financial markets remained under
considerable pressure, although conditions improved
somewhat. Similarly, in the quarters immediately pre­
ceding the third quarter of 2007, U.S. residents in­
creased their assets abroad strongly. In contrast, U.S.
residents reduced their total assets abroad in the past
four quarters.

Net U.S.-owned assets abroad decreased $125.2 billion
in the first quarter after a decrease of $114.7 billion in
the fourth quarter. The larger decrease resulted from a
shift from a substantial increase to a substantial de­
crease in U.S. government assets other than official re­
serve assets and, to a m u c h lesser extent, from a
slowdown in U.S. direct investment abroad. These
changes were mostly offset by a shift from a decrease to
an increase in claims reported by U.S. banks and secu­
rities brokers, a shift from net U.S. sales to net U.S.
purchases of foreign securities, and a smaller decrease
in claims reported by U.S. nonbanking concerns.
U.S. official reserve assets. U.S. official reserve as­
sets increased $1.0 billion in the first quarter after an
increase of $3.1 billion in the fourth quarter. The firstquarter increase largely resulted from an increase in
the U.S. reserve position in the International Monetary
Fund (IMF), as the I M F extended loans to a few coun­
tries that were experiencing financial difficulties.

U.S. government assets other than official reserve
assets. U.S. government assets other than official re­
serve assets decreased $244.1 billion in the first quar­
ter after an increase of $265.3 billion in the fourth
quarter. The shift resulted from the reversal of some of
the swaps initiated under temporary reciprocal cur­
rency arrangements (swap lines) between the U.S. Fed­
eral Reserve System and foreign central banks. The
swap lines— which allow foreign central banks to o b ­
tain U.S. dollars for a limited period of use directly
from the Federal Reserve in exchange for foreign cur­
rencies— were established to address elevated pressures
in short-term U.S. dollar funding markets worldwide.
These pressures eased somewhat in the first quarter, al­
lowing central banks to reverse some of the swaps that
they had initiated in previous quarters.
Claims reported by banks and by nonbanks. U.S.
claims on foreigners reported by U.S. banks and secu­
rities brokers increased $90.9 billion in the first quarter
after a decrease of $293.9 billion in the fourth quarter
(chart 7). (Examples of these claims are deposits of
U.S. residents placed at foreign banks, U.S. bank loans
to foreigners, and resale agreements, which are collat­
eralized short-term loans by U.S. banks and brokers to

Direct investment. Net financial outflows for U.S.
direct investment abroad were $24.0 billion in the first

Both net equity capital investment abroad and rein­
vested earnings were the lowest in m a n y quarters, and
net intercompany debt investment abroad decreased
more in the first quarter than in the fourth quarter.
Net equity capital investment slowed as a result of a
substantial decline in equity capital outflows for acqui­
sitions or establishment of n e w foreign affiliates and
contributions to existing foreign affiliates. The de­
crease in reinvested earnings was mostly attributable to
a drop in foreign affiliates’earnings.

Net foreign-owned assets in the United States de­
creased $78.1 billion in the first quarter after a decrease
of $11.9 billion in the fourth quarter. The larger de­
crease mostly resulted from a larger decrease in U.S. li­
abilities reported by U.S. banks and securities brokers
in the first quarter than in the fourth quarter and a
slowdown in net financial inflows for foreign direct in­
vestment in the United States. In addition, net foreign
sales of U.S. securities other than U.S. Treasury securi­
ties picked up, and both net foreign purchases of U.S.
Treasury securities and net U.S. currency shipments to
foreigners slowed. These changes were partly offset by
a smaller decrease in U.S. liabilities reported by U.S.
nonbanking concerns and by a shift from a decrease to
an increase in foreign official assets in the United
States.
Foreign official assets. Foreign official assets in the
United States increased $71.2 billion in the first quarter
after a decrease of $16.0 billion in the fourth quarter.
The shift largely reflected a drop in sales of foreign ex­
change reserves by foreign governments. By area, the
assets of European countries decreased m u c h less in
the first quarter than in the fourth quarter, and the as­
sets of Asian countries increased more in the first quar­
ter than in the fourth quarter. By instrument,
transactions in “other” U.S. government securities,
mainly federally sponsored agency securities, shifted to
small net purchases from large net sales, and U.S. lia­
bilities reported by U.S. banks decreased less in the first
quarter than in the fourth quarter. These changes were
partly offset by a slowdown in net purchases by foreign
official institutions of U.S. Treasury securities.
Liabilities reported by banks and by nonbanks.
U.S. liabilities reported by U.S. banks and securities
brokers, excluding U.S. Treasury securities, decreased
$163.7 billion in the first quarter after a decrease of
$35.2 billion in the fourth quarter (chart 7). (Examples

of these liabilities are deposits of foreign residents
placed at banks in the United States, loans m a d e by
banks abroad to banks in the United States, and repur­
chase agreements, which are collateralized short-term
loans m a d e by foreign residents to banks and brokers
in the United States.) Liabilities decreased for the
fourth consecutive quarter.
Banks’ and brokers’ o w n liabilities denominated in
dollars decreased $151.8 billion after a decline of $7.6
billion. The first-quarter decrease mostly resulted from
a decline in U.S.-owned banks’liabilities, partly reflect­
ing repayments of the large amount of funds borrowed
from abroad by U.S.-owned banks in the fourth quar­
ter. Foreign-owned banks’ liabilities also decreased af­
ter a large increase in the fourth quarter. In contrast,
securities brokers’ liabilities increased after an excep­
tionally large decrease in the fourth quarter.
Banks’ and brokers’ customers’ liabilities denomi­
nated in dollars increased $14.8 billion after a decrease
of $29.9 billion. The increase was more than accounted
for by an increase in “other” liabilities.
U.S. liabilities reported by U.S. nonbanking con­
cerns decreased $34.7 billion in the first quarter after a
decrease of $139.8 billion in the fourth quarter. The
first-quarter decrease largely resulted from a decline in
“other” liabilities— such as loans, advances, and other
borrowings by nonbanking concerns— to the United
Kingdom.
U.S. Treasury securities. Net foreign purchases of
U.S. Treasury securities were $56.9 billion in the first
quarter, d o w n from $81.5 billion in the fourth quarter
(chart 9). The decrease resulted from a decline in net

foreign purchases of short-term U.S. Treasury securi­
ties after exceptionally strong net foreign purchases of
those securities in the previous two quarters. Net for­
eign purchases of short-term U.S. Treasury securities
were $17.4 billion in the first quarter, d o w n from $60.6
billion in the fourth quarter. Net foreign purchases of
long-term U.S. Treasury securities were $39.5 billion,
up from $20.9 billion.
Other U.S. securities. Net foreign sales of U.S. secu­
rities other than U.S. Treasury securities were $54.9
billion in the first quarter, up from $29.0 billion in the
fourth quarter. Foreign investors had net sales of these
securities in five out of the past seven quarters after
having strong net purchases for several quarters i m m e ­
diately preceding the third quarter of 2007.
Net foreign sales of U.S. federally sponsored agency
bonds were $45.3 billion, up from $21.4 billion (chart
9). It was the seventh consecutive quarter of net for­
eign sales of agency bonds, partly reflecting net sales of
housing-related agencies’bonds.
Net foreign sales of U.S. corporate bonds were $15.5
billion, up from $3.8 billion. U.S. corporate bond m a r ­
kets remained under considerable stress in the first
quarter, and credit spreads remained at very high levels
Net foreign purchases of U.S. stocks were $6.0 bil­
lion, a shift from net foreign sales of $3.9 billion. After
falling sharply in the fourth quarter, U.S. stock prices,




65

as measured by the Standard and Poor’s 500 index, fell
an additional 25 percent from the beginning of the first
quarter until early March before rebounding. At the
end of the quarter, the index was 12 percent lower than
at the beginning of the quarter.
U.S. currency. Net U.S. currency shipments to for­
eigners were $11.8 billion in the first quarter, d o w n
from $29.9 billion in the fourth quarter. Although
lower, net U.S. currency shipments remained substan­
tial, likely reflecting continued heightened foreign de­
m a n d for U.S. currency during the recent financial
turmoil.
Direct investment. Net financial inflows for foreign
direct investment in the United States were $35.3 bil­
lion in the first quarter, d o w n from $96.8 billion in the
fourth quarter. The slowdown was more than ac­
counted for by a slowdown in net equity capital invest­
ment in the United States and, to a m u c h lesser extent,
a shift from positive to negative reinvested earnings. In
contrast, net intercompany debt investment in the
United States increased in the first quarter after de­
creasing in the fourth quarter. The slowdown in net
equity capital investment largely resulted from a sub­
stantial decline in equity capital inflows arising from
foreign acquisitions of U.S. companies. The shift from
positive to negative reinvested earnings resulted from a
decline in U.S. affiliates’earnings.

commercial suppliers are not included as transactions under military sales
contracts. The entries for the several categories of transactions related to mili­
tary sales contracts in this and other tables are partly estimated from incom­
plete data.
3. The identification of transactions involving direct dollar outflows from
the United States is made in reports by each operating agency.

ditures of appropriations available to release foreign purchasers from liability
to make repayment.
6. Includes purchases of loans from U.S. banks and exporters and pay­
ments by the U.S. Government under commercial export credit and invest­
ment guarantee programs.

8. Excludes transactions of the U.S. Enrichment Corporation since it
became a non-government entity in July 1998.
9. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2007, includes drawings and repay­
ments under temporary reciprocal currency arrangements between the U.S.

2003.
2. Complete instrument detail is only available beginning with 2003.

bilities)” because the majority of these claims (liabilities) are in the form of
intercompany balances. Financial intermediaries’ accounts represent transac­
tions between firms in a direct investment relationship (that is, between U.S.
parents and their foreign affiliates or between U.S. affiliates and their foreign
parent groups), where both the U.S. and foreign firms are classified in a
finance industry, but the firms are neither banks nor securities brokers. 4. Bahamas, Bermuda, British West Indies (Cayman Islands), and Nether­

REPORT
State Personal Income and More . . .
S tatistics, first quarter of 2009
Personal income declined in 37 states in the first quarter of 2009.1 In six
states, personal income fell by more than 1.0 percent. These states include
North Dakota, Missouri, and Iowa, where sharply lower farm commodity
prices reduced farm income. The fastest growing states, Hawaii (0.8 percent)
and Virginia (0.3 percent), benefitted from strong earnings growth in the
federal civilian and military sectors, which was accounted for by
first-quarter pay raises as well as some initial hiring for the 2010
census. The federal sector also made substantial contributions to

the first quarter. The decline was moderated by a 4.7 percent rise
in transfer receipts, mainly reflecting cost-of-living adjustments
to social insurance benefits and more unemployment compensa­
tion.

C om prehensive revisions of regional statistics
In September 2009, the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) will begin re­
leasing its comprehensive revisions of regional statistics. The purpose is to
incorporate new and revised source data and to introduce recent changes in
definitions and methodologies used in the national income and product ac­
counts (NIPAs). For more, see page 110.

Quarterly State Personal Income

An alternative look at personal income
In the first quarter of 2009, the severity of the decline in
personal income was reduced to a large extent by unusu­
ally large increases in transfer receipts in most states. At
the same time, the change in the price index for personal
consumption expenditures was dominated by falling
prices of energy and food.
Given these developments, a comparison of personal
income less transfer receipts and the core personal con­
sumption expenditures price index, which excludes food
and energy prices, provides a logical perspective on con­
ditions in labor and financial markets (table A).
Personal income less transfers declined in every state
except Alaska and Hawaii in the first quarter of 2009.
Meanwhile, rising core price inflation exacerbated the
consequences of the lost income. The first-quarter de­
cline in personal income less transfer receipts for the
United States, 1.5 percent, was more than double the
fourth-quarter decline of 0.7 percent. The core price in­
flation rate in the first quarter, 0.4 percent, was also dou­
ble the fourth quarter rate.
The first-quarter decline in personal income less
transfer receipts was split almost equally between net
earnings (which fell $75 billion when summed over all
states) and property income (which fell $77 billion).
Alaska and Hawaii were two of only five states where net
earnings rose in the first quarter ($207 and $398 million,
respectively) and the only states where it rose enough to
offset the declines in property income (which fell $130
and $317 million, respectively). Maryland, Virginia, and
Louisiana were the other states where net earnings rose;
earnings also rose in the District of Columbia.

Transfers receipts
The 4.7 percent rise in U.S. personal current transfer re­
ceipts in the first quarter of 2009 largely resulted from
cost-of-living adjustments to social insurance benefits
and higher unemployment compensation. For example,
social security benefits were boosted 5.8 percent in the
first quarter (based on the gain in consumer prices from
the third quarter of 2007 to the third quarter of 2008).
Increases in state unemployment insurance benefits var­
ied widely across states reflecting relative job losses. Ben­
efits rose more than 50 percent in several states—
including Florida, Georgia, Arizona— but less than 15
percent in Hawaii, which had the highest personal in­
come growth in the first quarter.

Quarterly State Personal Income

Industry earnings
Finance, durable goods manufacturing, and construc­
tion were the major contributors to the earnings decline
nationally (table B). Declines in these industries were
offset somewhat by gains in the health care and govern­
ment industries. First-quarter estimates of earnings
growth in government primarily reflected pay raises,
which averaged 3.9 percent for federal civilian and mili­
tary employees in 2009, rather than job gains. The fed­
eral civilian and military sector contributed substantially
to personal income growth in Alaska, Hawaii, Maryland,
Virginia, and the District of Columbia.
In many states, one or two private nonfarm industries
accounted for the bulk of the decline in earnings: finance
in New York, Connecticut, and Rhode Island; durablegoods manufacturing in Michigan and Indiana; con­
struction in Arizona; construction and accommodation
in Nevada; mining in Wyoming and Oklahoma; and
farming in Iowa and North Dakota.
In Minnesota and Missouri, severance pay and other
types of compensation associated with prominent merg­
ers and acquisitions accounted for the substantial boost
to fourth-quarter earnings in the transportation, man­
agement, and nondurable-goods manufacturing indus­
tries and the subsequent first-quarter earnings decline.
In Minnesota, transportation earnings rose $1 billion in
the fourth quarter of 2008 after falling $5 million, on av­
erage, in the previous three quarters. In Missouri, earn­
ings in the management and nondurable manufacturing
industries earnings rose $3.9 billion and $2.8 billion, re­
spectively, in the fourth quarter after rising $9 billion
and $95 million, on average, in the previous three quar­
ters.
In sharp contrast to the rest of the country, construc­
tion earnings increased for the fourth consecutive quar­
ter in Louisiana, supported by the Road Home program,
a federal program providing assistance to repair or re­
build housing destroyed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
Construction earnings were up $190 million in the first
quarter in Louisiana and up nearly $1.5 billion (or 17
percent) from a year ago. The housing assistance
(counted as part of the rental income of persons)
amounted to $1.2 billion in the first quarter of 2009,
down from $2.0 billion in the fourth quarter (table C). A
similar program in Mississippi continued at the same
$0.4 billion level of the previous four quarters.

Comprehensive Revisions

In September 2009, the Bureau of Economic Analysis
(BEA) will begin releasing its comprehensive revisions of
regional statistics. The purpose is to incorporate new and
revised source data and to introduce recent changes in
definitions and methodologies used in the national in­
come and product accounts (NIPAs). Revised state per­
sonal income statistics for 1969-2008 will be released in
September 2009. Local area personal income statistics
will be released in April 2010. Gross domestic product
(GDP) by state statistics will be released in November
2010. And GDP by metropolitan area statistics will be re­
leased in February 2011.
Several changes in the upcoming 2009 comprehensive
revision of the NIPAs will affect regional statistics. The
main NIPA changes include updating the accounting
treatment for disasters and improving the methodology
used to measure wages and salaries, proprietors’ income,
and taxes on production and imports.1
Disasters. As a result of the new NIPA treatment of
disasters, regional measures of proprietors’ income and
of dividends, interest and rent will change because the
related losses in capital stocks will no longer be recorded
as part of the consumption of fixed capital, which is used
in the calculation of these measures. In addition, per­
sonal current transfer receipts will change as insurance
payments related to disaster losses will no longer be
treated as a current transfer. The net result of the two
changes is that the uninsured losses associated with di­
sasters will be removed from the regional measures of
personal income. The new treatment of disasters will not
change the sum of GDP across U.S. states, but GDP sta­
tistics for certain regional areas will change in some years
as a result of changes in the allocation of gross operating
surplus across geographic areas.
Cafeteria plans. The revised statistics will incorporate
new information on employee benefit plans, commonly
called “cafeteria plans.” Under these plans, employees
may use a portion of their salaries on a pretax basis to
1. For a description of the changes made during the NIPA comprehensive
revision, see Eugene P. Seskin and Shelly Smith, “Preview of the 2009 Compre­
hensive Revision of the NIPAs: Changes in Definitions and Presentation,” S ­

B
89 (March 2009): 10-27, and Clinton P. McCully and
Steven Payson, “Preview of the 2009 Comprehensive Revision of the NIPAs:
Statistical Changes,” S
89 (May 2009): 6-16.

pay for health insurance and to contribute to “flexible
spending arrangements.” Data from the Quarterly Cen­
sus of Employment and Wages, which form the basis for
BEA’s wage statistics, do not include employee contribu­
tions to cafeteria plans whenever the state laws do not
count them as wages for unemployment insurance pur­
poses. To correct for the underestimation of wages and
salaries attributable to unreported contributions to cafe­
teria plans, the regional accounts will incorporate esti­
mates of employee contributions for health insurance
and to flexible spending accounts for medical and depen­
dent care for the relevant states. The improved measures
will affect BEA’s measures of both GDP and personal in­
come across geographic regions, beginning with 1986.
Misreporting adjustments. Both for wages and sala­
ries and for nonfarm proprietors’ income, the revised
statistics will reflect the incorporation of updated misre­
porting adjustments. These adjustments account for the
underreported income on tax returns and for nonre­
ported income for nonfilers. The updates are based on
data from the 2001 Internal Revenue Service National
Research Program and newly available data from the
Census Bureau “exact match” studies. These revised esti­
mates will begin with 1980 data for sole proprietors and
partnerships and with 1978 data for wages and salaries.
As with the improved methodology for cafeteria plans,
these new measures will affect BEA’s measures of both
GDP and personal income across geographic areas.
Direct NAICS estimation. For taxes on production
and imports, statistics on the industry distribution will
be estimated directly on a North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS) basis rather than convert­
ing data to NAICS from the earlier Standard Industrial
Classification. Taxes on production and imports include
excise taxes and customs duties, state and local sales
taxes, property taxes, motor vehicle licenses, severance
taxes, special assessments, and other taxes. The new
methodology will lead to small revisions in regional GDP
measures by industry type, beginning with data for 1997.

Note. The personal income level shown for the United States is derived as the sum of the state estimates. It differs
from the estimate of personal income in the national income and product accounts because of differences in coverage, in
the methodologies used to prepare the estimates, and in the timing of the availability of source data.

from the estimate of personal income in the national income and product accounts because of differences in coverage, in
the methodologies used to prepare the estimates, and in the timing of the availability of source data.

Note. Chained (2000) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 2000 currentdollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity indexes uses
weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive. The residual line is
the difference between the first line and the sum of the most detailed lines.

1. Estimates for durable goods and nondurable goods for 1996 and earlier periods are based on the 1987 Standard Indus­
trial Classification (SIC); later estimates for these industries are based on the North American Industry Classification System
(NAICS).
2. Includes government consumption expenditures, which are for services (such as education and national defense)
produced by government. In current dollars, these services are valued at their cost of production.
3. Some components of final sales of computers include computer parts.
Note . Chained (2000) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 2000 currentdollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity indexes uses weights
of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive. The residual line following
change in private inventories is the difference between gross domestic product and the sum of final sales of domestic product
and of change in private inventories; the residual line following structures is the difference between gross domestic product
and the sum of the detailed lines of goods, of services, and of structures.

Note. Chained (2000) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chaintype quantity index and the 2000 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 esti­
mates are usually not additive. The residual line is the difference between the
first line and the sum of the most detailed lines.

1. The quantity index for computers can be used to accurately measure the real growth of this component. However,
because computers exhibit rapid changes in prices relative to other prices in the economy, the chained-dollar estimates
should not be used to measure the component’s relative importance or its contribution to the growth rate of more aggregate
series; accurate estimates of these contributions are shown in table 1.5.2 and real growth rates are shown in table 1.5.1.
2. Excludes software “embedded,” or bundled, in computers and other equipment.
N o t e . The residual line is the difference between the first line and the sum of the most detailed lines.
