DEVELOPMENTS through the
year's first half seem clearly in line
with the widely held expectation of
brisk economic expansion in 1972. New
car buying is especially strong this
spring but consumer spending in other
lines is also vigorous, and the high rate
at which consumers have taken on new
installment debt reflects a strong willingness to spend. Overall, it appears
that consumer demand continues to
expand at something like the rapid pace
set in the year's opening quarter.
Capital investment has been an
important factor in demand expansion
in the first half of 1972. Fixed business
investment increased 5% percent in the
first quarter and, according to the BEA
survey taken in May, plant and equipment spending in the second quarter
was expected to show another large
advance (chart 2). The survey found
expectations of little if any further
spending growth after midyear, but it
is certainly possible that the actual path
of quarterly spending this year will
be smoother than the May survey
indicated.
Residential investment was by far
the fastest growing of the major demand
segments in 1971 and early 1972. Now,
however, growth in residential construction spending has just about stopped—through the level of spending
remains high. The cessation of spending
growth is the result of the topping out
of the housing starts rate in the first
quarter (chart 3). The general expectation is that the average starts rate
during the rest of the year will be lower
than the 2.4 million units (seasonally

adjusted annual rate) averaged in the
first 5 months.
The behavior of inventory investment continues to puzzle analysts.
Economic recoveries generally include
a strong upswing in the rate of inventory accumulation as the overall expansion becomes sure, but accumulation in this recovery has been extremely
cautious; indeed, the absolute level of
investment has been running close to
zero. This situation, coupled with expectations of good growth in business
sales for the rest of the year, has led
many forecasters to look for a very substantial increase in the rate of inventory
investment by yearend. Although this
is a reasonable expectation, there has
as yet been no clear evidence that such
a trend is developing.
Price developments

Prices moved up sharply in the first 3
months following the end of the wageprice-rent freeze last November, but
the advance slowed somewhat in the
3 months ending in May. The wholesale price index increased at an average
rate of 0.5 percent per month from
November to February and an average
rate of 0.3 percent from February to
May (seasonally adjusted; without seasonal adjustment, the November-toFebruary advance was sharper). The
consumer index increased an average
0.4 percent per month in the 3 months
following the freeze and 0.2 percent
from February to May (seasonally
adjusted).

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Items that are exempt from Price
Commission regulation have contributed measurably to the overall increases in both indexes. Estimates of
their contribution are available only
in terms of data without seasonal
adjustment. On that basis, the exempt
items in the consumer price index—
raw agricultural products, used cars,
houses, mortgage interest rates, and
taxes—contributed about 0.1 percent
per month to the index rise in both
3-month periods. The exempt items
in the wholesale index—imports and
domestic raw agricultural productscontributed about 0.3 percent per month
to the 0.8 percent monthly increase
from November to February; in the

February-May period, exclusion of the
exempt items slows the average monthly
increase from 0.3 percent to 0.2 percent.
In both consumer and wholesale
markets, the rate of price increase
(seasonally adjusted) accelerated in
May. The consumer index increased
0.3 percent that month compared to
0.2 percent in April, with the speedup
centered in nonfood commodities. At
the wholesale level, the acceleration
was from 0.3 percent in April to 0.5
percent in May and centered in farm
products and foods. The acceleration
from April to May in both indexes
appears to have been attributable to
an acceleration in the price advance
of items exempt from regulation.

Consumer Demand

Growth of consumer spending has
been a key factor in the accelerated
expansion of aggregate demand this
year. In the first quarter, when buying
of durable goods other than autos was
especially strong, total personal consumption expenditures increased $14%
billion at a seasonally adjusted annual
rate, or 8% percent. That was the
largest increase in 4 years, apart from
the first quarter of 1971 when spending
was boosted by the recovery from the
auto strike. The first quarter spending
gain came in the face of a marked
dampening of disposable income growth
as a result of the overwithholding of
personal income taxes. The saving rate
consequently dropped from 7.8 percent
in the fourth quarter to 7 percent in
the first—rather low relative to the
levels of the past 2 years.
Retail sales fell in April, when the
weather was unseasonably cold, but
rebounded very sharply in May, and
recent surveys of consumer attitudes
suggest that demand will continue to
be strong in the months immediately
ahead. With consumer spending in the
second quarter evidently running well
ahead of the first quarter level, it seems
likely that the saving rate has been
declining further.




Auto sales
Sales of new cars have been an important factor in the recent expansion
of consumer demand. Counting both
domestic models and imports, sales were
at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of
10.5 million units in April and 11 million
in May, up from an average 10.3 million
units in the first quarter (table 1). The
sales pace in the recent past has been
the strongest since the boom last fall
following the mid-August announcement of the wage-price freeze and of
the intended repeal of the auto excise
tax. In the 3-month period SeptemberNovember, sales averaged 11.5 million
units at a seasonally adjusted annual
rate (10.1 million domestic models and
1.5 million imports).

June 1972

The surge in auto buying this year
has been concentrated in domestictype models; sales of imports have been
fairly stable and their market share has
declined. Import sales fell sharply from
a record 1.7 million units (seasonally
adjusted annual rate) in the spring and
summer of 1971 to only 1.4 million in
the fourth quarter—because of shortages due to strikes at U.S. ports, and
very likely also because of the import
surcharge imposed at mid-August as
well as a growing acceptance of importcompeting domestic models. The surcharge came off in December, but at the
same time there were major revaluations of other currencies relative to the
dollar and this has had a big impact on
import car prices. (The prices of
German cars had already been affected
by the upward "float" of the exchange
• rate for the mark as of May 1971.)
Including the effect of the repeal of the
auto excise tax (which affected both
domestic models and imports), the retail prices of domestic subcompacts this
spring were up only about $20 from a
year earlier, but the prices of the
popular imports were up as much as
$250.
Sales of imports have increased modestly since late 1971 but are still below
the high rates of last spring and
summer; in April and May, they averaged 1.5 million units at an annual
rate. The American subcompacts—
Pinto, Vega, and Gremlin—have been
making substantial gains, apparently at
the expense of their closest foreign
competitors—Volkswagen, Toyota, and
Datsun. Data (not seasonally adjusted) for the first 5 months of this
year compared with the same period of
1971 show sales of American subcompacts up nearly 55,000 units over
the year while sales of their closest
foreign competitors declined about the
same amount. The increase in the sales
of American subcompacts would be
even more striking if sales of Vegas this
spring had not been held down significantly by shortages caused by a
strike.
As a result of the inroads made by
American subcompacts into the small
car market, several producers of imports
have responded with new initiatives to

June 1972

maintain sales. Some import dealers
have in recent months shown greater
flexibility in bargaining on new car
prices. Also, at least one major foreign
competitor is planning to introduce new
"economy" low-price models into the
U.S. market this year. Others have
plans to shift some of their sales effort
to the light-truck market, where consumer demand has been growing rapidly.

order houses, and vending machine

marked strength among major nondurables groups last year, continued
to advance strongly this year. Sales of
food stores were generally flat last year
but have shown growth this year. However, the boom in sales of eating and
drinking places in the closing months
of last year has not persisted.

liberalized depreciation rules and the
new investment tax credit enacted last
December. According to a survey of
spending plans taken by McGraw Hill
Publications Company in March and
April, businessmen reported that their
expected 1972 outlays are $% billion
higher than they would have been in
the absence of these two stimulants.
Roughly $500 million of that amount
was attributed to the investment tax
credit and $250 million to liberalized
depreciation.

Capital Investment

The latest BEA survey of plant and
equipment spending, taken in May and
reported on pages 16-19 of this issue,
indicates that business capital spending
in 1972 will total $89% billion or 10%
percent above 1971. This is essentially
the same as the expectation reported
in the February survey, and compares
with an increase of only 2 percent in
1971. Manufacturing firms plan to
increase outlays 5% percent; the in-

crease is concentrated in the durables
goods industries, which plan an 11%
percent increase this year following a
10% percent decline last year. Nondurables producers plan a very small
increase in outlays (about one-half of
1 percent) compared to a cut of 2
percent in 1971. Aggregate investment
by nonmanufacturing industries is expected to expand 13 percent this year,
up from 7% percent last year. Most
nonmanufacturing industries plan increases close to the average for the
group, but the airlines, which cut outlays 38 percent in 1971, expect a 26
percent increase in 1972.
Spending in the first quarter fell
short of the expectation reported in
February by some $750 million (annual
rate) but the increase from the fourth
quarter to the first was nevertheless a
very substantial $3% billion (annual
rate). The expectation for the second
quarter, which was revised up between
the February and May surveys, is for
a gain of nearly $4 billion. The shortfall
in the first quarter centered in manufacturing; spending by the nonmanufacturing group exceeded reported
plans. Moreover, manufacturing firms
did not revise their plans for the
second quarter between February and
May but nonmanufacturing firms raised
theirs considerably. The May survey
findings indicate that this year's growth
in outlays is over, with aggregate
spending expected to decline slightly in
the summer and rise slightly in the
fall. However, the large size of the
increase expected for the second quarter
suggests the possibility that some part
of the expected second quarter advance
will in fact be pushed into the second
half of the year.
There is some evidence that capital
spending this year is stimulated by the

Cyclical recovery patterns

The latest BEA survey collected investment expectations only through the
fourth quarter of this year. On the basis
of these data, the current expansion of
capital spending, while vigorous thus
far, is not shaping up as strong as the
last two capital spending recoveries.
This is illustrated by table 3, which
compares the path of the current spending expansion (defined as beginning in
the fourth quarter of 1971) with the
paths in the recoveries in 1968 and
1963. The criterion for choosing the
base or "trough" quarters used in the
table was that they be quarters when
spending declined, followed by at least
three quarters of clear expansion.
Of course, the actual path of the current spending recovery could well turn
out to be quite different from that
shown in table 3. Thus far, however,
there has been no significant pattern of
upward revision of spending plans. This
is somewhat surprising because such a
pattern is typical of periods of strengthening economic activity when cautious

business attitudes give way to rising
optimism as the economy improves.
Expansion versus modernisation

Although the economy is certainly
expanding vigorously, the rate of manufacturing capacity utilization as estimated by the Federal Reserve is
evidently low and on the basis of this
evidence it seems unlikely that manufacturing firms would be very interested
in spending to expand capacity. However, utilization figures are difficult
to calculate meaningfully and hard to
interpret. It is certainly possible that
these estimates of utilization do not
make adequate allowance for obsolete
equipment; this would mean that effective utilization is higher than it appears
to be, and that manufacturers have
more incentive for expansion than they
appear to have. In any event, manufacturers do have a strong motivation
to spend on modernization and replacement as a way of controlling costs
through updating technology and increasing productivity.
The McGraw-Hill capital spending
surveys provide a breakdown of manufacturers' spending into outlays for
capacity expansion and those for modernization and replacement. The latest
report shows the planned allocation of
1972 spending as 44 percent to expan-

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
sion and 56 percent to modernization.
This planned share for expansion is
noticeably smaller than the expansion
share in the past few years; by contrast, in other periods when capital
spending has strengthened, the expansion share has typically increased (table
4).

The data on expansion and modernization must be interpreted cautiously
because there are serious definitional
problems involved in allocating spending to the two categories. The shares
vary considerably over time; this is

The Housing Market

The current boom in homebuilding
got underway nearly 2 years ago.
Though starts of new units have fallen
off from the record high hit earlier
this year, the annual rate is still well
above 2 million units (Chart 3). For
the first 5 months of 1972, starts
averaged 2.4 million units at a seasonally adjusted annual rate, compared
with 2.1 million for the full year 1971.
At this juncture, it is interesting to
take a look at data that indicate what
happens after a unit is started. The
data, including "absorption" rates and
the number of new homes for sale and
sold, suggest some softening in both

probably in good part a cyclical
phenomenon, but data are not available quarterly and so it is not possible
to identify cyclical swings with any
degree of precision. The data seem to
show that the share going to expansion
moved up sharply in the capital spending boom in the mid-1950's and then
dropped back in the 1957-58 recession.
The expansion share stayed low until
another capital spending boom developed in the 1960's, when it again moved
up significantly, not falling back until
1971.

the first quarter was 547,500 (not seasonally adjusted), up 4 percent from
the fourth quarter and 35 percent from
a year earlier. In the case of multiunit
structures, 816,000 units were in the
construction pipeline at the end of the
first quarter. This figure, which includes
all units in structures with more than
one unit, was up 5 percent from the
fourth quarter and 37 percent from a
year eailier. Table 5 shows percent increases over four-quarter periods for
each region and for single-family and
multiunit structures separately. Data
are available only from the end of 1969
and, therefore, percent changes are
shown only beginning with the fourth
quarter of 1970. In view of the very high
rate of starts in recent months, the
number of units under construction
should continue to grow for a while at
least, particularly in the South and the
West.
Apartment buildings

Most units in multiunit structures
are intended for the apartment rental
market. The "market absorption rate"
is a measure of how this market handles
the new units becoming available in
buildings with five or more units (excluding public and publicly subsidized
housing, condominiums, cooperatives,
and furnished units). The 3-month market absorption rate for a given quarter
is the percentage of apartments completed in the quarter which are rented—
i.e., "absorbed"—within 3 months. The
Census Bureau also calculates rates for
absorption 6 and 9 months after completion. These rates show obvious
seasonal movements from quarter to
quarter, but because the data go back

only to the beginning of 1969 it is not
yet possible to calculate seasonal adjustment factors.
Of the apartments completed in the
fourth quarter of 1971, only 62 percent
(not seasonally adjusted) were rented
within 3 months, down from rates of 65
percent 1 year earlier and 76 percent 2
years earlier. The absorption rates 6
and 9 months after completion have
recently shown similar declines: the
proportion of units completed in the
third quarter of 1971 and absorbed
within 6 months was 82 percent, down
4 points from a year earlier, and the
9-month absorption rate for units completed in the second quarter of 1971
was 91 percent, also down 4 points
fiom a year earlier. The general trend
of absorption since 1969 has been
downward; that is, it has been taking,
on the average, progressively longer
after completion to rent out a new
apartment. Until last year, a large
part of this decline in absorption rates
was apparently due in large part to
rising rents on new units: between the
first quarter of 1969 and the fourth
quarter of 1970, the median rent of
units in newly completed apartment
buildings rose about 16% percent. There
was little change in the median rent in
1971, but late last year the number of
units in multiunit structures coming
onto the rental market began to show
the effects of the boom in starts. With
the largest part of the newly started
apartment buildings still not completed,
it is likely that the market absorption
rate will continue to fall for some time
yet.
The other major available measure
of conditions in the rental housing mar-

June 1972

ket is the rental vacancy rate (which
mainly reflects apartment vacancies but
includes some single-family dwellings
as well). The rate declined fairly
steadily from 1966 to 1970, when it
stabilized. In the first quarter of 1972,
the new vacancy rate series recently
introduced by the Bureau of the Census
showed 5.3 percent of the Nation's
rental housing stock vacant, about the
same as in the past 2 years. The rate
remained highest in the South and
lowest in the Northeast. Because of the
large number of units still in the construction pipeline in all regions, vacancy rates are expected to rise as completions rise later in the year. This
could be particularly true in the South
and the West, where the number of
unfinished apartment units under construction is growing rapidly.
Single-family homes

The market for single family homes
is showing some signs of possible softening. Single-family homes require less
time in the construction pipeline than
multiunit housing. As a result, even
though the rental market is only beginning to show the effects of the steep
rise in starts, the housing boom has
already been having an impact'on the
homeowner market. The number of new
one-family homes sold has been rising
steadily since the spring of last year,
but the number of homes for sale has
been rising even faster. As a result, the
ratio of new homes for sale to the
monthly number of homes sold (an
"inventory-sales" ratio) has also been
rising. The ratio reached an average of
5.4 months in the first quarter of this

Wages and Salaries
Wages and salaries as measured in personal income are on a
cash or receipts basis, and the figures for first quarter 1972
incorporate disbursements of pay increases approved retroactively by the Pay Board. Wages and salaries are measured in
national income on an accrual basis and the first quarter 1972
figures include estimates of the amount of the retroactive pay
earned in the quarter. The 1971 figures for wages and salaries in
national income have not yet been revised to incorporate the
accrual of the earnings paid retroactively in 1972.

SUEVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

1072 Plant and Equipment Expenditure Programs
The latest business capital spending
expectations for 1972 indicate a 10.3
percent increase from 1971, little different from the 10.5 percent projected in
February. Spending rose 4.3 percent in
the first quarter and a 4.5 percent rise is
expected for the second quarter. Outlays in the second half of 1972 are
expected to rise 1.8 percent from the
first half.

B

lays are expected to decrease 1 percent
in the third quarter, followed by an
increase of about the same magnitude
in the fourth quarter (tables 2 and 5).
The behavior of many of the factors
that influence investment decisions continues to be favorable to spending
growth. Corporate profits and cash flow
expanded strongly in the first quarter
along with the expansion of economic
activity, while interest rates were generally below those which prevailed
through most of 1970 and 1971. Also,
the effective cost of new equipment has
been lowered as a result of the reinstatement of the investment tax credit. On
the negative side, however, is the continuation of an evidently rather low rate
of capacity utilization in manufacturing.

USINESSMEN expect to spend
$89.6 billion 1 on new plant and equipment during 1972, according to the
survey conducted in late April and May
by the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
This would be a 10.3 percent increase
over 1971 spending, compared with
increases of 1.9 percent last year and Revision of 1972 plans

capital outlays for 1972, compared with
a 5% percent gain projected for manufacturing. In the nonmanufacturing
area, the strongest increases are expected by airlines (26 percent) and gas
utilities (16 percent). Advances ranging
between 11 and 14 percent are expected
by mining, commercial, electric utility,
railroad, and communications firms; in
the commercial group, the largest advances are in the trade and insurance
categories. Transportation firms other
than the railroads and airlines expect a
small decline in spending.
Manufacturers of durable goods
expect investment to increase 11 percent in 1972. Very strong advances are
expected by producers of stone-clayglass products (43 percent) and motor
vehicles (21 percent); other substantial
increases are in the "other durables"
industries (18 percent), nonferrous
metals (14 percent), and aircraft (12
percent). The expectations of nondurable goods producers are mixed, with
an overall rise of only 0.5 percent.
Sharp advances are expected by pro-

about 10 percent from the first half
and commercial firms project a small
decrease, centered in trade and service
firms.
In manufacturing, the nonferrous

about 25 percent or more from the
second half of 1971. Increases between
11 and 17 percent are projected by
manufacturers of motor vehicles, textiles, rubber, "other durables", and
"other nondurables". Petroleum refiners
expect a 6 percent decline in spending.
In the second half of 1972, the strongest increase—14 percent—is expected

SURVEY OF CUKKENT BUSINESS

20

June 1972

Public and Private Debt
THE net total of public and private
debt stood just short of $2 trillion at
the end of 1971. Public debt—liabilities
of Federal, State, and local governments and Federal financial agencies—
accounted for about 27% percent of total
debt, while corporations were liable for
about 41 percent of total debt, and individuals, including those owning unincorporated enterprises, were liable for
32 percent of total debt.
The increase in net public and private
debt last year was $152% billion, substantially more than the 1970 increase
of $120% billion. The stepup in the pace
of debt formation stemmed from: (1) a

sharp rise in the expansion of individual
mortgage debt, which totaled $31% billion last year as contrasted with $17
billion in 1970; (2) a stepup in net consumer credit expansion to $10% billion
in 1971 following a gain of only $4#
billion in 1970; and (3) a $25 billion expansion in the net debt of the Federal
Government, as contrasted with a $12
billion rise in 1970.
These expansionary elements were
partly offset by a slowdown, from $8
billion in 1970 to $1 billion in 1971, in
the increase in Federal financial agencies
debt, and by a modest slowing in cor-

porate debt expansion to $53% billion
in 1971 from $58% billion a year earlier.
Within the corporate total, there was
continuing evidence of a refunding of
short-term liabilities into longer term
debt, as the former rose only about $15
billion last year while the latter rose
$39 billion.
The tables presented here update the
statistics on debt that have appeared in
previous May issues of the SURVEY.
Revisions have been made in the data
for 1967-70. Data back to 1955 are in
the May 1970 SURVEY and data for
earlier years are in the May 1969 SURVEY.

1. Net Federal Government and agency debt is the outstanding debt held by the public,
as denned in the Budget of the United States Government, Fiscal Year 1969. Gross Federal
Government debt consists of the public debt as defined in the Second Liberty Bond Act of
1917, as amended, plus the obligations to the public of Federal agencies in which the Federal
Government has a proprietary interest each year.
2. This comprises the debt of federally sponsored agencies, in which there is no longer any

Balance of Payments Developments, First Quarter 1972
LAJOR developments in the first
quarter included a further deterioration
in the already large trade deficit and a
substantial decline in the balance on
military and other service transactions.
In addition, net long-term capital flows
shifted adversely from the unusual
fourth quarter inflow. As a result, the
deficit on current account and longterm capital increased sharply.

On the other hand, there was an even ter, but subsequently narrowed as U.S.
larger improvement in net short-term rates firmed and several foreign moneprivate capital flows (both recorded and tary authorities eased credit. There was
unrecorded), which dropped from large also a reduction in forward premiums on
outflows in the fourth quarter to near a number of foreign currencies—which

United States—as confidence in the
rate differentials between the United realigned exchange rate structure inStates and most other major countries creased. Furthermore, new regulations

The merchandise trade balance
worsened by $0.2 billion to register a
record deficit of almost $1.7 billion in
the first quarter, with both exports
and imports rising sharply from their
strike-reduced fourth quarter levels
(table A). Income on U.S. direct investment abroad fell from the unusually
large receipts in the fourth quarter,
and transfers under military sales
contracts also declined. As a result, the
balance on goods and services deteriorated $0.6 billion to a deficit of
more than $1.1 billion. The balance on
all current transactions was in deficit
by $2.1 billion.
Net long-term private capital flows
shifted adversely by $1.0 billion, from
an unusual inflow in the fourth quarter
to an $0.8 billion outflow in the first.
The shift was related largely to foreign
direct investment in the United States

and U.S. transactions in foreign securities. Despite the quarter to quarter
deterioration, the first quarter outflow
was below the average quarterly outflow
last year. The deficit on all recorded
current and long-term capital transactions was $3.2 billion, $1.4 billion more
than in the fourth quarter.
There was a very large positive
shift of $2.5 billion in unrecorded
flows; errors and omissions showed an
inflow of almost $0.5 billion after a
year of enormous outflows. (The outflow in 1971 approached $11 billion for
the full year, with quarterly outflows
ranging from a low of $1.0 billion to a
high of $5.5 billion.) This swing was
the major reason for the $1.2 billion
narrowing of the net liquidity deficit,
from $4.3 billion in the fourth quarter
to $3.1 billion in the first.
The official reserve transactions
balance showed an even larger improvement of $2.7 billion reflecting a $1.5
billion swing in reported net liquid
private capital flows, as liquid liabilities
to private foreigners, mostly commercial banks, increased following a 2year decline. The official deficit, at
$3.3 billion, nevertheless remained large.

Major Developments
Merchandise trade

The merchandise trade deficit increased almost $0.2 billion in the first
quarter to a record $1.7 billion, seasonally adjusted. This was the fourth
successive quarterly deficit, and it was
substantially larger than the average
$1.0 billion deficit in the preceding three
quarters. In the third quarter of 1971,
the deficit had been substantially reduced by the much stronger acceleration
of exports than of imports in anticipation of the October 1 dock strikes. In the
fourth quarter, the deficit was swelled
by the dock strikes at Atlantic and
Gulf ports in October and November,
which depressed exports much more
than imports. With East and Gulf
Coast ports back in full operation in the
first quarter of 1972, both exports and
imports showed sharp gains from the
abnormally low levels in the fourth
quarter. Exports rose $2.2 billion (23
percent), to $11.8 billion, and imports
$2.4 billion (22 percent), to $13.5 billion. (All figures are on the usual

June 1972

balance of payments basis excluding
"military," as shown in table 1. Trade
totals including "military" can be
found in tables B-l and 4.)
Although the underlying demand for
exports and imports in the first quarter
was augmented by flows of merchandise
backlogged during the strike period, the
make-up of backlogged export shipments was probabjy about equal to the
import make-up. Thus, such shipments
probably had little impact on the magnitude of the first quarter trade deficit.
The size of the deficit was largely influenced by trends in business activity
here and abroad, and to some extent
by the initial adverse impact of the
recent adjustments in exchange rates.
In addition, import volume continued
to reflect the longer-run growth in U.S.
demand for foreign products.
Imports have been stimulated by the
substantial growth rate of the U.S.
economy, while U.S. export gains were
limited by a less rapid rate of business
expansion in most of our major markets
abroad. The recent currency realignments are expected to be of benefit to
the U.S. trade balance over the longer
run, but their initial impact tends to be

adverse. Assuming no change in the
foreign currency price of our imports,
the realignments would raise import
prices in dollar terms and quickly raise
the value of imports for there would
be no immediate reduction in volume

not readily altered. On the other hand,
the dollar price of exports would not
automatically be changed by the currency adjustments, and thus the price

national currency would be promptly

lowed a full-year deficit of $2.7 billion in 1971. Both exports and imports
were running at seasonally adjusted annual rates much higher than last year,
and the percentage rise in imports was
nearly double the rise in exports: imports in the first quarter were at an annual rate of $53.9 billion, almost 19
percent above the 1971 total, while exports were at an annual rate of $47.2
billion, 10 percent above 1971. (Adjusting these increases for the effects
of strikes and strike anticipations
widens the disparity between export
and import growth.)

be a time lag before this change leads
to increased export volume. In practice,
of course, U.S. and foreign suppliers
may adjust their prices to mitigate the
full impact of the exchange rate
changes; thus, the dollar price of U.S.
exports may rise somewhat—tending to
increase the value of exports—and the
foreign currency price of imports may
fall—partly offsetting the "automatic"
rise in the dollar price of imports and
the associated rise in their value.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Services
Among the service accounts, the
largest net movement in the first
quarter was in investment income,
which shifted adversely by $460 million. A decline in income on U.S. direct
investment abroad was by far the major
factor in the change; it dropped from
the unusually high fourth quarter total
of almost $2.2 billion to $1.7 billion in
the first. The high fourth quarter figure may have been related to a repatriation of funds after the December 18
agreement to realign exchange rates,

June 1972

and also to positioning under the
OFDI program.
The balance on military transactions
(excluding transfers under military
grants) was in deficit by $865 million
in the first quarter of 1972—somewhat
more than in the fourth quarter and
considerably more than the $725 million
quarterly average in 1971. Most of the
deterioration in the first quarter was
caused by a drop in aircraft exports to
Germany and Iran. Transfers under
military sales contracts, in fact, were
only $355 million. This was the lowest

level in 1% years, reflecting the recent
conclusion of a number of sales programs. Major new programs are not
scheduled to commence until 1973 or
later. Total direct defense expenditures
abroad were $1.2 billion in the first
quarter, about the same as in the fourth.
The effects on military expenditures
abroad of troop withdrawals and of a
decline in payments for construction
projects (principally in Vietnam) were
largely offset by average military pay
increases of nearly 12 percent in November 1971 and 7 percent in January

According to data now available, the
outflow for U.S. direct investment
abroad in the first quarter was $995
million. Although this was an adverse
shift of $205 million from the fourth
quarter, the level was about $300 million below the outflows in the first quarters of 1970 and 1971. This reduction
may be related to the fact that foreign
affiliates plan to increase plant and
equipment expenditures only 7 percent

Net U.S. Government capital outflows and changes in nonliquid Government liabilities to foreigners other than

On the other hand, there was a $1.0
billion unfavorable shift in the net longterm private capital accounts. Foreign
direct investment in the United States
moved adversely by $515 million to an
outflow of $335 million. Most of the
outflow was to Japan, as trading company branches here transferred funds
home, perhaps reflecting first quarter
anticipations of a further rise in the
yen's value. Net U.S. transactions in
foreign securities shifted unfavorably
by $460 million, from $70 million net
sales in the fourth quarter to $390 million net purchases. Most of the first

currency collected as principal, as recorded in lines A.6 and A.7.
3. Lines A.29 and A.31 include some short-term U.S. Government claims, collections of

NOTE.—Country data are based on information available from U.S. reporting sources. In
some instances the statistics may not necessarily reflect the ultimate foreign transactor. For
instance: U.S. export statistics reflect country of reported destination; in many cases the exports may be transshipped to third countries (especially true for the Netherlands and Germany). The geographic breakdown of security transactions reflects country with which trans-

action occurred but may not necessarily reflect the ultimate sources of foreign funds or ultimate destination of U.S. funds.
Data for individual countries within EEC may not add to the published totals for EEC
since in several instances the transactions are regional and in other instances estimates for the
group are not available for each country. In addition country data may not add to EEC totals
because of rounding.

1. Balances of payments by area on the net liquidity basis and the official reserve transactions basis lack validity because liquid dollar holdings of private and official foreigners
may be affected not only by their transactions with the United States but also by transactions
among themselves. The balances shown by area here have some shortcomings due to statistical discrepancies including errors, omissions, and incorrect area attributions.
Balances are derived from lines in table 2 (all areas) and table 9 (individual areas) as follows:
Merchandise trade
2,16.
Goods and services
1,15.
Goods, services and remittances
1,15, 31, 32.
Current account
1,15, 29.
Current account and long-term capital

of line 52 is included.)

The balance on current account and long-term capital with "all areas" includes changes in
long-term liabilities to all private foreigners reported by U.S. banks; with "international
organizations" includes only liabilities to IBRD and affiliated organizations; and with other
areas includes only liabilities to regional organizations. Increases in the long-term liabilities
to other private foreigners included in the total, but not in the areas, amounted to (millions
of dollars): 1968, -7; 1969, 48; 1970,123; 1971-1, 8; 1971-11,12; 1971-III, 7; 1971-IV, 68; 1971 year,
95; 1972-1,18.
2. Adjusted to balance of payments basis; excludes exports under U.S. military agency
sales contracts and imports under direct defense expenditures.
3. Includes some short-term U.S. Government assets; area data exclude long-term liabilities
reported by U.S. banks other than to international and regional organizations (see footnote

issues sold abroad by U.S. corporations, although, still at a high level,
showed a small adverse shift in the
first quarter. Net long-term capital
flows reported by U.S. banks shifted
favorably by $170 million as the expansion of liabilities increased by that
amount while claims expanded by about
the same amount as in the fourth
quarter. The expansion of liabilities
consisted largely of deposits of proceeds
from new bond issues by international
organizations.
Nonliquid short-term private capital
flows

There was another large increase in
bank-reported nonliquid short-term
claims in the first quarter. However,
the increase, at $565 million, was $120
million less than in the fourth quarter.
All of the rise was in outflows exempt
from the Voluntary Foreign Credit
Restraint Program. There was an in-




crease in loans and acceptance financing
to most areas, but claims on Japan
showed some decline after a marked
rise in previous quarters. Nonliquid
short-term flows reported by nonbanking concerns showed a $165 million
reduction in claims which more than
offset a $125 million drop in liabilities,
resulting in a small favorable net shift.
Errors and omissions

There was evidence of some unrecorded inflow of short-term funds in
the first quarter, as net errors and
omissions registered a $2.5 billion favorable shift to an inflow of $0.5 billion.
This probably reflected some reflux of
the substantial unrecorded outflows in
1971 associated with the exchange market crises.
Liquid private capital flows

Liquid liabilities to foreign commercial banks shifted from a decline of $1.3
billion in the fourth quarter to a rise of

$440 million in the first. This change
reflected both a reversal of a substantial
drop in liabilities of U.S. agencies to
their foreign head offices and a sharp
slowdown in the decline in liabilities
of U.S. banks to their foreign branches.
It was the first rise after 2 years of
large reductions. This shift was partly
offset by an increase in liquid claims
reported by U.S. banks that exceeded
the fourth quarter increase by $405
million. Nevertheless, reported net
liquid private capital outflows dropped
to $165 million in the first quarter, a
mere one-tenth of the fourth quarter
outflow of $1.6 billion.
Official

liabilities and reserves

Financing the $3.3 billion official
reserve transactions deficit, liabilities
to foreign official agencies rose by more
than $2.8 billion. Tiie biggest reserve
gains were listed by Japan, Germany,
and the Netherlands. U.S. official reserve assets declined $430 million. A
repurchase of gold by the IMF from
the United States—which was off set by
a reduction of U.S. liabilities to the
IMF—reduced the reported U.S. gold
stock by $545 million. Other U.S. reserve assets rose $115 million as the
1972 SDR allocation ($180 million at a
quarterly rate) was partly offset by a
reduction in U.S. holdings of convertible currencies.
Highlights and Perspectives
Corporate capital flows
Net corporate capital outflows (table
C) increased $290 million in the first
quarter to $890 million. There was a
moderate increase of $205 million in
direct investment outflows, a decline of
$335 million in corporate borrowing,
and a partly offsetting improvement of
$250 million in other corporate claims.
The shifts were influenced by changes
in OFDI regulations, exchange market
uncertainties last year, and perhaps
also by cyclical conditions abroad.
Direct investment outflows, while
above the fourth quarter level, were
about $300 million below those of the
first quarters of 1970 and 1971. As
noted earlier, this reduction from 1970
