the BUSINESS SITUATION
ACCORDING to the "flash" estimates, real GNP increased at an
annual rate of 3 percent in the second
quarter, compared with Vfe percent in
the first quarter. The GNP fixedweighted price index increased at an
annual rate of 4 percent, compared
with 4x/2 percent (table I).1
It appears likely that business inventories contributed negatively to
the change in real GNP in the second
quarter, after a small positive contribution in the first. Thus, final sales of
GNP more than accounted for the acceleration in GNP. From a small decline in the first quarter, final sales of
GNP swung to a substantial increase—an increase shared by all
major components except net exports.
As indicated in table 2, final sales
of GNP can be viewed as the sum of
exports and domestic sales of domestically produced goods and services. It
appears that exports changed little in
the second quarter after a moderate
1. Quarterly estimates in the national income and
product accounts are expressed at seasonally adjusted
annual rates, and quarterly changes in them are differences between these rates. Quarter-to-quarter percent changes are compounded to annual rates. Real,
or constant-dollar, estimates are expressed in 1972 dollars.
The procedures used to prepare the "flash" estimates—that is, estimates prepared 15 days before the
end of the quarter—are the same as those used to prepare the estimates released after the end of the quarter. However, the source data that are available are
limited to only 1 or 2 months of the quarter and, in
most cases, are preliminary. The major source data
that are available are: For personal consumption expenditures (PCE), April and May retail sales, unit
sales of new autos through the first 10 days of June,
and sales of new trucks for April and May; for nonresidential fixed investment, the same data for autos
and trucks as for PCE, April construction put in place,
and April manufacturers' shipments of equipment; for
residential investment, April construction put in place,
and April housing starts; for change in business inventories, April book values for manufacturing and trade,
and unit auto inventories for April and May; for net
exports of goods and services, April merchandise trade;
for government purchases of goods and services, Federal unified budget outlays for April, State and local
construction put in place for April, and State and
local employment for April and May; and for GNP
prices, the Consumer Price Index for April, and the
Producer Price Index for April.
The estimates for the first quarter are revised; see
table 3.

decline, so that most of the swing in
final sales of GNP was accounted for
by domestic sales of domestically produced goods and services. In the first
quarter, these domestic sales had increased only l/2 percent, but in the
second quarter, they increased substantially.
Second-quarter developments in the
components of real GNP, in GNP
prices, and in personal income are
sketched below on the basis of data
available as of mid-June.
• Personal consumption expenditures increased about as much as the
5 percent registered in the first quarter. Durables increased a little less
than the first quarter's 9 percent;
motor vehicles and household furniture and equipment again registered
sizable increases. Nondurables increased substantially more than the

• NIPA Methodology. A paper describing the concepts, sources, and
methods of the corporate profits component of the national income and
product accounts is available. See "BEA Publications" on page 75 for
order information.
• NIPA Revisions. A comprehensive revision of the NIPA's is scheduled
for completion in December 1985. The revision of the estimates for 198284 that would customarily be published this July will be combined with
the December revision. Selected NIPA tables with detailed annual estimates for 1984 on an unrevised basis will appear in the July SURVEY.
• Capital Stock by Industry. Estimates of fixed private capital stock by
detailed industry for 1947-81 will be presented in the July SURVEY.
• Local Area Personal Income. The nine-volume Local Area Personal
Income, 1978-83 will be released in July. See page S-36 for more information.
• Direct Investment Estimates. Country-by-country estimates and several analytical tables for 1983-84, for both U.S. direct investment abroad
and foreign direct investment in the United States, will appear in the
August SURVEY.
• Pollution Abatement Expenditures. Revised estimates of expenditures
for abating pollution emissions for motor vehicles for 1968-84 will appear
in an upcoming issue of the SURVEY. The estimates cover 1968-71 for the
first time and show new detail on types of spending.

first quarter's 3 ¥2 percent; larger increases in food and in clothing and
shoes contributed to the acceleration.
A decline in electricity and natural
gas, after a large increase due to
severe cold weather, held the increase
in services below the first quarter's 5
percent.
• Nonresidential fixed investment
was up substantially after a small decline. The turnabout was in producers' durable equipment. Equipment
other than motor vehicles swung
sharply from an 11-percent decline in
the first quarter to a large increase;
the swing was concentrated in computers, which accounted for much of
the decline and for roughly one-half
of the subsequent increase. In motor
vehicles, a decline in trucks more
than offset an increase in autos.
Structures continued to increase, reflecting the course of commercial
structures; the other large categories—industrial structures, public
utilities, and oil and natural gas exploration and drilling—changed little.
The increase in nonresidential fixed
investment over the two quarters is
roughly in line with the increase for
the year 1985 that is indicated by
plans reported by business in BEA's
latest quarterly plant and equipment
survey. These plans, as well as factors
that may be affecting them, are discussed in an article later in this issue.
• Residential investment was up
substantially more than the 5l/2 percent registered in the first quarter.




The acceleration was in single-family
construction; increases in 1985 have
reflected the lagged effect of the decline in mortgage rates that began
last July. As in the first quarter, multifamily construction was weak, and
an increase in the "other" component
reflected commissions on house sales.
• Business inventories appear to
have accumulated at a much slower
rate than in the first quarter. This
negative contribution to the change in
GNP was largely accounted for by
motor vehicle inventories. These inventories—the only part of inventories based on more than 1 month of
source data for the second quarter—
were down, following a substantial increase in the first quarter when automakers were still rebuilding inventories from a low level at the beginning
of the 1985 model year. Only fragmentary information is available about
farm inventories, but it appears that
accumulation continued. Nonfarm inventories other than motor vehicles
appear to have increased somewhat
more than the $8 billion increase in
the first quarter. It is likely that the
ratio of business inventories to total
final sales moved down slightly from
the high end of the 3.01-3.09 range
within which it has fluctuated in the
last 2 years.
• Net exports appear to have declined, but much less than the $15 billion registered in the first quarter.
Imports appear to have increased
much less than the first quarter's

$11 Vk billion, and exports, after a
$3*/2 billion decline, appear to have
held about even. In merchandise,
which accounted for most of the improvement, the major factor was a
smaller increase in nonpetroleum imports. In the first quarter, a large increase in nonpetroleum imports,
which recouped the drop in the fourth
quarter, had been spread across enduse commodity categories; in the
second quarter, most
categories
appear to have increased less. The
quarterly changes in imports—although erratic—continued to reflect
the cumulative effects of the dollar's
appreciation.
• Government purchases increased
moderately, after little change in the
first quarter. The acceleration was in
State and local government purchases, where construction—particularly highways—picked up. In Federal
purchases, an increase in defense purchases slightly more than offset a decline in nondefense purchases. The
decline in nondefense purchases, as
well as the 3-percent increase in the
first quarter, were more than accounted for by transactions of the
Commodity Credit Corporation.
• The GNP fixed-weighted price
index, as noted earlier, increased 4
percent in the second quarter. In the
first quarter, almost one-half percentage point of the 4V2-percent increase
was accounted for by a pay raise for
Federal Government employees. Thus,
excluding the effect of the pay raise,

June 1985

prices of U.S. production increased at
the same rate in both quarters. Prices
of gross domestic purchases accelerated slightly from a 3-percent increase in the first quarter, again excluding the effect of the pay raise.
The difference in the pattern of these
overall measures of inflation—one a
measure of inflation in goods and
services produced and the other a
pleasure of inflation in goods and
services purchased—largely reflected
the impact of imported petroleum.
Prices of imported petroleum had declined in the first quarter, but
changed little in the second.
• Personal income increased about
$39 billion, somewhat less than the
$471/2 billion registered in the first
quarter. A number of special factors—a Federal pay raise, large increases in agricultural subsidies, several changes in Social Security and in
other Federal retirement and incomesupport payments, and legislated increases in contributions for Social Security—contributed to substantially
different movements in several components of personal income in the two
quarters. On balance, these factors
added more to the increase in the
first quarter than to that in the
second quarter. Without these special
factors, personal income would have
increased about $36 Va billion, compared with $34V2 billion in the first
quarter.
Private wages and salaries increased less in the second quarter
than in the first. The slowing was accounted for by wages and salaries in
manufacturing, which changed little
after a $5 Vfe billion increase in the
first quarter; manufacturing employment and average hours were both
down from the first quarter. Wages
and salaries in government and government enterprises were affected by
the pay raise for Federal Government
employees, which added $3 billion in
the first quarter, and by a retroactive
payment and pay raise for Postal
Service employees, which added $Vfe
billion in the first quarter and $1 billion in the second.
Proprietors' income, in contrast, increased more in the second quarter
than in the first. Nonfarm proprietors' income increased about as
much as in the first quarter, and
farm proprietors' income declined less
than in the first quarter. Beginning
in the fourth quarter of 1984, agricultural subsidies registered substantial

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
The swing in personal taxes
swamped the deceleration in personal
income, so that disposable personal
income increased much more in the
second quarter—over $80 billion, compared with $10 billion in the first.
(Excluding the special factors in personal income and in taxes, the increase in disposable income was about
$25% billion in both quarters.) In real
terms, the second-quarter increase
was about 10 percent, after a IVfe-percent decline. The increase in personal
outlays—in which personal consumption expenditures predominate—was
close to the $54 Vk billion registered in
the first quarter. Accordingly, after
declining sharply in the first quarter,
personal saving increased sharply in
the second. The personal saving rate,
which had fallen to 4 ¥2 percent in the
first quarter, increased about 1 percentage point.




First-quarter corporate profits
Revised
first-quarter
estimates
show that profits from current production—profits with inventory valuation adjustment (IVA) and capital
consumption adjustment (CCAdj)—increased $V2 billion, to $292 Vz billion.
In the fourth quarter, profits had recovered from the third quarter's $8V2
billion decline; profits have increased
only slightly over the three quarters.
In the first quarter, the increase was
in domestic profits; profits from the
rest of the world were unchanged.
Profits before tax (PBT) differ from
profits from current production by
the IVA and CCAdj. In the first quarter, the IVA increased $2*/2 billion, to
$1 billion, and the CCAdj increased
$4V2 billion, to $69 billion. PBT declined $6y2 billion, to $222 V2 billion,

June 1985

following a $4 billion increase. Trade
and durable manufacturing profits
contributed most to the decline.
Within trade, profits of both retailers
and wholesalers declined. Within durable manufacturing, declines were
widespread, but profits of fabricated
metals producers were down the most.
Overall, the situation is essentially
the same as that described in the May
"Business Situation/'

Table 5.10-5.11:
1. Inventories are as of the end of the quarter. The quarter-to-quarter change in inventories
calculated from current-dollar inventories in this table is not the current-dollar change in business inventories (CBI) component of GNP. The former is the difference between two inventory
stocks, each valued at their respective end-of-quarter prices. The latter is the change in the physical volume of inventories valued at average prices of the quarter. In addition, changes calculated
from this table are at quarter rates, whereas CBI is stated at annual rates. Quarter-to-quarter
changes calculated from the constant-dollar inventories shown in this table are at quarterly
rates, whereas the constant-dollar change in business inventories component of GNP is stated at
annual rates.
2. Quarterly totals at monthly rates. Business final sales equals final sales less gross product of
households and institutions, government, and rest-of-the-world and includes a small amount of
final sales by farms.

Table 5.8-5.9:
1. The IVA shown in this table differs from that which adjusts business income. The IVA in
this table reflects the mix of methods (first-in-first-out, last-in-first-out, etc.) underlying book
value inventories derived primarily from Census Bureau Statistics. The mix differs from that underlying business income derived primarily from Internal Revenue Service statistics.

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

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

Interest Rates and Aggregate Inventory Investment
THIS article

suggests a new view of
how interest rates may affect inventory demand. Specifically, it suggests
that when real short-term interest
rates surpass previous peak levels,
firms revise their inventory management techniques; when interest rates
recede from a peak, the revamped
management techniques remain in
place, affecting inventory holdings
until a new peak in interest rates is
recorded.
Using this new "ratchet" approach
to incorporating the effect of interest
rates leads to the following main findings:
• The interest rate variable is a statistically significant determinant of
aggregate
inventory
investment.
Many earlier studies failed to find a
significant interest rate effect.
• The interest rate variable, along
with expected sales and beginning
stocks of inventories, explains aggregate inventory investment rather
well.
• Discrepancies between desired
and actual levels of inventories are
removed slowly; it takes about three
quarters to eliminate one-half of a
given discrepancy.
• The relationship between inventory investment, on the one hand, and
expected sales and the interest rate
variable, on the other, appears to
have been relatively stable over the
1952-84 period.
Interest rate ratchet
Many earlier investigations failed
to establish a significant effect of the
rate of interest on inventory demand.
This failure, in the face of the widespread theoretical conviction that cost
considerations are an important determinant of inventory investment,
suggests that the effect of interest
rates may be more subtle than commonly supposed. Research on the
demand for money suggests a plausi-

ble mechanism for incorporating interest rates in inventory investment
equations.
Some analysts at the Federal Reserve have found that money demand
equations perform better if an interest rate ratchet variable is included
in the equation.1 A ratchet variable is
a variable that moves in only one direction, usually upwards. Formally, a
ratchet variable R that represents the
real interest rate r may be defined as:
rt if r,>r s , for s = I to t—l

Rt =
Rt-i otherwise.

The rationale for including a ratchet variable in a demand for money
equation is straightforward. When interest rates reach a new peak, the opportunity cost of holding money becomes high enough to trigger investment in new cash management techniques. When interest rates recede
from the peak, the new management
techniques are not jettisoned, but
remain in place until a new interest
rate peak is recorded.
The same rationale may be put forward to explain the effect of interest
rates on inventories, by changing the
"cost of holding money" to the "cost
of holding inventories" and "new cash
management techniques" to "new inventory management techniques."
These new inventory management
techniques may take a number of
forms. They may entail consolidation
of storage facilities, personnel training, the acquisition of new equipment
(which may range from conveyor belts
and fork lift trucks to computers),
1. See, for example, Thomas D. Simpson and Richard D. Porter, "Some Issues Involving the Definition
and Interpretation of the Monetary Aggregates," Controlling Monetary Aggregates HI, Conference Series,
No. 23 (Boston: Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, October 1980), pp. 161-234.

etc.2 Effecting these changes may involve significant outlays over extended periods of time. These and
other innovations in inventory management techniques would all have
the same goal, namely to reduce the
size of inventories relative to sales,
thereby reducing the cost of holding
inventories.
Model and data
The ratchet interest rate variable
(Rt) and the level of expected sales
(XSt) are assumed to determine the
optimal inventory stock (INV*t) according to the following specification:
(1)

INV*t = b0 + (6, -

By allowing expected sales to scale
the ratchet variable, this specification
implies, reasonably, that the effect of
the interest rate ratchet increases as
expected sales increase.
Equation (1) is used in conjunction
with another equation, known as the
stock-adjustment (or partial adjustment) model, which states that discrepancies between optimal and
actual inventories are eliminated
gradually:
(2)

INVt - INVt-t = \(INV*t where 0 < X < 1.

-J + ut

The speed at which discrepancies are
eliminated is given by X. If X — 0, the
discrepancy is never reduced; if X =
1, the entire discrepancy is eliminated
in the current period. The final term
2. In most instances, an increase in the real rate reduces the net present value of (and the demand for)
capital goods. In the case of capital goods used in the
management of inventories, however, the benefits
flowing from the capital goods consist of reduced inventory carrying costs, including reduced interest
costs. Thus an increase in the interest rate increases
both the numerator and denominator of the net
present value formula. The net effect on the demand
for inventory handling equipment, of course, depends
on which effect predominates.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

in equation (2), ut, incorporates all
other factors that impinge on the
change in inventories, the most obvious of which is unexpected sales, or
"sales surprises" (SSt\
Sales surprises should be allowed to
enter the estimating equation explicitly. Their effect on inventory change
is a matter of interest in its own right
for what it reveals about the bufferstock model of inventory investment.3
Moveover, failure to take explicit account of SSt could bias the estimated
coefficients of the other variables in
the equation.
Substituting equation (1) into equation (2), letting sales surprises enter
explicitly, and defining the remaining
"other factors" as u\, yields:

Clearly, equations (3) and (3a) are
equivalent. The former explains the
change in inventories (i.e., inventory
investment) between the end of quarter t—1 and the end of quarter t\ the
latter explains the level of inventory
at the end of quarter t.
This article concentrates on the
specification given by equation 3, because analysts usually are more interested in inventory investment than
they are in the absolute level of inventories. Whichever variant is used
for regression purposes, however, it
should be noted that the estimated coefficient for the sales variable will be
an estimate of the product of A and
61, and the estimated coefficient for
the interest rate variable will be an
estimate of the product of X and 62.
As a result, the estimated coefficients
will measure the immediate, or shortrun, impact of a change in sales or interest rates. To obtain the eventual,
or long-run, impact, the estimated coefficients must be divided by the estimate of the adjustment coefficient, X.
In estimating equation (3), inventories and sales were taken from the
national income and product accounts
(NIPA's). NIPA table 5.11 presents aggregate end-of-quarter inventories
(seasonally adjusted), in billions of
1972 dollars. The quarter-to-quarter

that, if a firm does not hold inventories of its product
(and inputs), it runs the risk of being unable to meet
unexpected demands for its product, with the consequent risk of impairing established buyer/seller relationships. The model is described in many sources; see,
for example, Martin Feldstein and Alan Auerbach,
"Inventory Behavior in Durable-Goods Manufacturing:
The Target-Adjustment Model," Brookings Papers on
Economic Activity No. 2 (1976): 351-96.

change in these inventory stocks is
used as the dependent variable in the
regression.
NIPA table 5.11 also shows two
measures of sales: business final sales
and business final sales of goods and
structures, both in billions of 1972
dollars. The use of either sales measure in an inventory demand equation
can be justified. On the one hand, because it is goods that are held in inventory, it is natural to assume that
the production (and sale) of goods
(and, possibly, structures) far outweighs the production of services as a
determinant of inventory demand. On
the other hand, because inventories
are held to support the activities of
the entire economy, it is just as natural to assume that the inventory
demand of the total (business) economy depends on total (business) sales.
There is no a priori reason for preferring one sales measure over the other,
and regression results are much the
same regardless of which is chosen.
The regressions reported below use
the total business final sales series.
(Table 5.11 presents final sales as
quarterly totals, but at monthly rates.
For ease of interpreting the regression results, the final sales series has
been converted to quarterly rates—
i.e., has been multiplied by 3.)

Equation (3) uses expected sales and
sales surprises. Many techniques are
available for generating expected
sales from actual sales. One of the
simplest is to assume that expected
sales in quarter t equal actual sales in
quarter £ — 1. This technique has been
used in many studies of inventory investment.4 Sales surprises, of course,
are calculated as the difference between actual and expected sales.
The real short-term rate of interest
is crudely approximated by subtracting an inflation rate from a nominal
interest rate. The rate on commercial
paper (4-6 months) serves as the
nominal short-term interest rate. A
price index for inventory stocks is the
obvious choice for the price variable;
such a price index is not readily available, however. An implicit price deflator for inventory stocks is available,
but it reflects both price changes and
changes in the composition of inventories. In instances where compositional
changes can safely be ignored, deflators may be adequate indicators of

The real rate and the ratchet variable derived from it are shown in

inventory stock was $239.25 billion, all in 1972 dollars.

price movements; in the case of inventories—which have rapid turnover—it
is not clear that compositional
changes can be safely ignored. In the
regressions reported below, the deflator for final sales (in which compositional changes are presumed to be
less important) is used as the price
variable. Quarter-to-quarter changes
(at annual rates) in the deflator are
subtracted from the nominal interest
rate to obtain the real rate, which is
expressed as a decimal (e.g., 4 percent
- 0.04).
Construction of the interest rate
ratchet variable is straightforward.
When the real rate is below its previous peak level, the ratchet variable is
equal to the previous peak level;
when the real rate rises above its previous peak level, the ratchet variable
is equal to the current real rate.

the buffer-stock model of inventory
investment.
The coefficient of the lagged inventory stock is of particular interest, because it is a measure of the speed
with which discrepancies between optimal and actual inventories are removed. The estimated speed of 21 percent per quarter implies that it takes
about three quarters to eliminate onehalf of a given discrepancy. This
speed is slower than might seem reasonable on a priori grounds, but it is
quite consistent with the adjustment
speeds found in many earlier studies.
The overall goodness of fit, as measured by R2, is satisfactory.5 As chart
2 shows, the equation tracks actual
inventory change quite well during
the sample period—perhaps better
than one might expect from an equation with an R2 of 0.59.
As was mentioned earlier, the estimated coefficients of the expected
sales and interest rate ratchet variables represent the short-run impacts
of these variables on inventory investment; the long-run coefficients are
found by dividing the estimated coefficients by the estimated speed of adjustment (table 1).
Table 1 also shows the implied elasticity of inventory stocks with respect
to expected sales and the interest rate
ratchet. The long-run elasticity of

scaled by expected sales and used in
the regression. In an effort to determine whether scaling materially affects the results, column 2 of the table
shows the ^-statistics for each of the
ratchets when it is not scaled by expected sales. Regardless of the precise
specification, the ratchet does quite
well; in all cases, it is significant at
the 10-percent level or better.8
Although there are difficulties in
applying the F test for structural stability to regressions estimated with
autocorrelation corrections, and although there are no obvious points at
which to check for structural shifts,
the test was conducted, with arbitrary
breaks (alternatively) in the first
quarters of 1968 (the approximate
midpoint of the sample period) and of
1981 (before the ratchet makes its
largest jumps).9 In neither case is the
F-statistic statistically significant. At
the 5-percent level of significance, the
critical value of the F-ratio—with 4
and 124 degrees of freedom—is approximately 2.45; the calculated Fratios were 1.47 (for the break in the
first quarter of 1968) and 1.74 (for the
break in the first quarter of 1981).
The null hypothesis of structural stability cannot be rejected, but, because
of the difficulties mentioned above,
this finding can only be interpreted as
suggestive, not conclusive.

5. The apparent goodness of fit could be markedly
improved by using the level of inventories, rather
than inventory change, as the dependent variable. If
the level of inventories were the dependent variable,
the other coefficients would be unchanged, but the coefficient of the lagged dependent variable would be_l
plus the coefficient shown (1 - 0.21 = 0.79). The R2
would increase to 0.99.

stocks with respect to expected sales
is 1.1; a 1-percent increase in expected
sales induces, eventually, an approximately 1-percent increase in inventory stocks.6 The elasticity with respect
to the interest rate ratchet variable is
very small: below —0.1 in the long
run. 7 Nevertheless, such a value implies that a 1-percentage-point increase in the level of the ratchet from
4V2 percent to 5l/2 percent would have
led, eventually, to a reduction in inventory stocks of more than $5 billion
(1972 dollars).
The deflator for final sales was used
in constructing the ratchet variable
shown in chart 1 and used in the regression. Ratchet variables were also
constructed using several alternative
price measures. Table 2 defines these
alternative ratchets and, in column 1,
shows the ^-statistic of each when it is
6. Frank de Leeuw suggests that sales elasticities in
the range of 0.5 to 1.0 are theoretically plausible; see
his "Inventory Investment and Economic Instability,"
SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS, 62 (December 1982): 256. Akhtar reports a unitary elasticity of inventories
with respect to final sales of goods; see his "Effects of
Interest Rates and Inflation," p. 323.
7. Some theoretical models suggest that the interest
elasticity of inventories is about -0.5. These models,
however, refer to the actual interest rate, not to an interest rate ratchet.

8. Other regression results (R2, adjustment speed,
coefficients, etc.) are virtually unaffected by the choice
of price measure.
9. In order to conduct the test, the autocorrelation
coefficient estimated over the entire period (equal to
0.67) was used to transform all of the variables. RXS,
for example, was substituted for XS, with RXSt = XSt
- (0.67 x XSt-J.

Plant and Equipment Expenditures,
the Four Quarters of 1985

BUSINESS plans to spend $386.1
billion for new plant and equipment
(P&E) in 1985, 9.2 percent more than
in 1984, according to the BEA survey
conducted in April and May (tables 1
and 2, and chart 3). 1 Spending was
$353.5 billion in 1984, 16.0 percent
more than in 1983.
The latest estimate of planned
spending for 1985 is $1.7 billion
higher than the estimate based on the
survey conducted in January through
March. (That survey showed planned
spending of $384.4 billion for 1985, 8.7
percent more than 1984 spending.) A
1.5-percent upward revision in spending plans by manufacturing industries
more than offsets a 0.3-percent downward revision in spending plans by
nonmanufacturing industries.2
1. The survey covers expenditures both for new facilities and for expansion or replacement of existing
facilities that are chargeable to fixed asset accounts
and for which depreciation or amortization accounts
are ordinarily maintained. The survey excludes expenditures for land and mineral rights; maintenance
and repair; used plant and equipment, including that
purchased or acquired through mergers or acquisitions; assets located in foreign countries; residential
structures; and a few other items.
The estimates presented are universe totals of P&E
expenditures in the United States based on sample
data compiled from reports on a company basis, not
from separate reports for plants or establishments. A
company's capital expenditures are assigned to a
single industry in accordance with the industry classification of the company's principal product or service.
P&E expenditures differ from nonresidential fixed
investment, which is a component of GNP, in type of
detail, data sources, coverage, and timing. For further
information, see pages 24-25 of the February 1985
SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS.
2. Spending plans have been adjusted for systematic
reporting biases. Quarterly estimates were adjusted
for each industry, for each quarter of the year, based
on the median of the ratios of planned to actual
spending for that quarter in the preceding 8 years.
Before adjustment, planned spending for 1985 was
$379.32 billion for "all industries," $159.02 billion for
manufacturing, and $220.30 billion for nonmanufacturing. The net effect of the adjustments was to lower
manufacturing $3.04 billion and to raise nonmanufacturing $9.82 billion.




Real spending—capital spending adjusted to remove price changes—is estimated to increase 6.2 percent in
1985. Real spending increased 15.0
percent in 1984, following a decline of
0.8 percent in 1983 (tables 2 and 3).
Estimates of real spending are computed from survey data on currentdollar spending and from estimated
capital goods price deflators developed
by BEA.3 The capital goods price de3. Specifically, the current-dollar figures reported by
survey respondents are adjusted using implicit price
deflators derived from unpublished detailed estimates

flator for "all industries" increased
0.9 percent in 1984 and is projected to
increase 2.9 percent in 1985. (The
latest projected increase in the deflator is higher than the 1.3-percent increase reported in April because the
four quarters used to project the deflator now incorporate an increase in
the deflator in the first quarter of
in the national income and product accounts of current- and constant-dollar nonresidential fixed investment (adjusted to a P&E basis). To estimate planned
real spending, the implicit price deflator for each industry is projected using its growth rate over the
latest four quarters for which it is available.

were flat, and corporate profits and
the manufacturing capacity utilization rate declined. Proposed changes
in tax laws also contributed to the uncertain investment picture.

1985, rather than a decline in the deflator in the first quarter of 1984.)
Current-dollar spending in the first
quarter of 1985 increased 1.1 percent,
to an annual rate of $371.2 billion, following a 1.7-percent increase in the
fourth quarter of 1984; first-quarter
spending was 2.3 percent lower than
anticipated in the previous survey.
Plans reported in the latest survey indicate increases of 3.8 percent in the
second quarter of 1985, 1.9 percent in
the third, and 0.7 percent in the
fourth.
Real spending was unchanged in
the first quarter of 1985, following a
1.1-percent increase in the fourth
quarter of 1984. Estimates indicate increases of 3.0 percent in the second
quarter of 1985, 1.1 percent in the
third, and 0.2 percent in the fourth.
Although actual spending in the
first quarter of 1985 was somewhat
below anticipations, planned spending
for the year has remained relatively
stable in the three most recent surveys, suggesting that some spending
originally planned for the first quarter may have been postponed to later
in 1985. Uncertainty in the investment outlook could have prompted
such postponement. In the first quarter, corporate cash flow increased




lower than anticipated in the previous survey. The continued strength
for 1985, despite lower first-quarter
profits, may be related to increases in
sales and in capacity utilization. The
planned decline in nonferrous metals
may be related to foreign competition
and low prices for metals.
Nondurable goods industries plan
an 11.5-percent increase in 1985; increases of almost 21 percent are
planned in rubber and in "other nondurables," and an increase of about
16V2 percent is planned in food-beverage. The planned increase in rubber
may be related to high capacity utilization in the industry and heavy
demand for rubber products by the
motor vehicles industry. The planned
increase in "other nondurables" is led
by printing-publishing, which is
adopting new production technologies
and expanding into electronic information services.
Real spending by manufacturers is
estimated to increase 10.0 percent in
1985—10.5 percent in durables and
9.5 percent in nondurables. In 1984,
durables increased 22.5 percent; nondurables, 16.2 percent.

In manufacturing, current-dollar
spending declined 0.4 percent in the
first quarter of 1985, to an annual
rate of $145.6 billion, following a 2.9percent increase in the fourth quarter
of 1984. A 1.8-percent decline in firstquarter spending by durable goods industries more than offset a 0.9-percent increase by nondurables. Manufacturers plan increases of 6.8 percent
in the second quarter, 3.4 percent in
the third, and 0.7 percent in the
fourth.
For the year 1985, manufacturers
plan to spend $156.0 billion, 12.7-percent more than in 1984; in the previous survey, a planned increase of 11.0
percent was reported. Manufacturers'
spending increased 19.1 percent in
1984, following a decline of 3.7 percent in 1983.
Durable goods industries plan a
14.1-percent increase in 1985; the Nonmanufacturing Programs

The International Investment Position
of the United States in 1984
THE

net international investment
position of the United States declined
$78.0 billion to $28.2 billion in 1984,
following a decline of $40.8 billion in
1983. U.S. assets abroad increased
$20.9 billion, compared with $54.9 billion; foreign assets in the United
States increased $98.8 billion, compared with $95.6 billion. Recorded net
capital inflows were $76.9 billion. Net
valuation changes to the position
were a negative $1.1 billion; exchange
rate losses on foreign currency-denominated assets were partly offset
by price appreciation on security
holdings and a positive valuation adjustment to U.S. direct investment
abroad (tables 1 and 2).
The decline in the position in 1984
reflected the strong performance of
the U.S. economy relative to its major
trading partners; strong credit demands in the United States, including
financing of mergers and acquisitions;
relatively high interest rates; and the
dollar's appreciation against major
currencies. The increase in the current-account deficit to $101.5 billion
from $40.8 billion was largely attributable to the merchandise trade deficit. Net capital inflows mirrored the
current-account deficit. They reflected
the continued slowdown in the growth
of U.S. assets abroad, particularly
claims on foreigners reported by U.S.
banks, and the continued strong increase in foreign assets in the United
States—capital
inflows
through
banks, record foreign purchases of
U.S. Treasury securities and corporate bonds, a shift to net funding
abroad on the part of U.S. corporations, and a substantial increase in
foreign direct investment in the
United States.
NOTE.—The sections on "U.S. Direct Investment Abroad" and on "Foreign Direct Investment in the United States" were written by R.
David Belli and Ned G. Howenstine, respective-

ly.




Changes in U.S. Assets Abroad
Bank claims
Although U.S. banks were net borrowers of funds in international markets in 1984 to about the same extent
as in 1983, the growth in both the
claims and liabilities that comprise
the net position slowed significantly.
The slowdown in claims, discussed in
this section, continued a pattern that
began in 1982; the slowdown in liabilities, discussed later, occurred in the
second half of 1984 when U.S. interest
rates declined.
Claims on foreigners reported by
U.S. banks increased $8.5 billion to
$443.0 billion in 1984 (line 19). Claims
had increased $29.9 billion in 1983
and $111.1 billion in 1982, a total
swelled by the establishment of International Banking Facilities. As in
1983, the international demand for
U.S. bank credit was constrained by
moderate economic expansion in industrial countries abroad. Somewhat
improved balance of payments positions and more prudent borrowing
policies among some developing countries may also have limited these
countries' demands for credit. On the
supply side, U.S. banks remained reluctant to increase their exposure in
the Eurodollar interbank market and
in Latin America in view of mounting
external debt problems that had surfaced in mid-1982. U.S. bank supervisory authorities continued to pressure
banks to improve the quality of their
loan portfolios, to tighten the accounting standards they applied to substandard loans, and to increase their
capital-asset ratios. In this environment, some potential demands for
U.S. bank credit may have shifted to
the Eurobond market, particularly in
the second half of the year, and contributed to a record pace of borrowing
in that market.

Most of the $10.1 billion increase to
$156.5 billion in bank claims on own
foreign offices was on offices in Western Europe, where economic expansion was moderate and interbank activity limited. Claims on unaffiliated
foreign banks were unchanged at
$123.8 billion; a decrease in claims on
Latin American countries was offset
by a rise in claims on Asian countries.
Claims on foreign public borrowers increased $3.8 billion to $61.4 billion,
compared with a $12.1 billion increase
in 1983. Much of the 1984 increase
was on Latin American countries and
was tied to rescheduling arrangements among private banks, the
International Monetary Fund (IMF),
and those countries. Claims on other
private foreigners decreased $6.4 billion—the first decrease in several
years—to $57.1 billion. Banks' claims
for domestic customers' accounts decreased $2.5 billion to $33.5 billion;
the decrease partly reflected disinvestment of Eurodollar certificates of
deposit by U.S. money market mutual
funds. Foreign currency-denominated
claims increased $3.1 billion to $11.5
billion.
Foreign securities
Foreign stock markets rose less in
1984 than in 1983, and, as a result,
net U.S. purchases of foreign stocks
slowed to $1.1 billion, about one-quarter their 1983 rate (line 17). A $3.0 billion price appreciation was nearly
offset by an exchange rate loss due to
the dollar's appreciation. At yearend,
holdings totaled $27.9 billion. There
were net sales of Japanese stocks in
1984, in contrast to net purchases in
1983; a 26-percent price appreciation
was nearly offset by sales and an exchange rate loss. Net purchases in
Western Europe, at $0.9 billion, were
down by more than one-half. Net purchases of British and French stocks
dropped moderately to $0.6 billion

and $0.1 billion, respectively. Net
sales of Canadian stocks were $0.2 billion, compared with $0.5 billion in net
purchases in 1983.
Net U.S. purchases of foreign bonds
were $3.9 billion (line 16). Price appreciation during a rally in the

second half of the year added $1.0 billion; exchange rate losses, particularly for holdings of Western European
and Canadian issues, were $0.7 billion. At yearend, holdings totaled
$62.0 billion. New issues in the
United States by major borrowers de-

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

supply of funds in the Eurobond
market—were contributing factors. In
the second half of the year, U.S. investors stepped up their purchases of
high-yielding British gilt-edge securities, which were offered by U.S. security dealers with currency hedging options.
U.S. direct investment abroad and
other private assets
U.S. direct investment abroad increased $6.5 billion to $233.4 billion,

following a $5.1 billion increase in
1983 (line 14). Capital outflows were
$4.5 billion, and valuation adjustments were $1.9 billion. The outflows
consisted of equity capital outflows of
$1.5 billion and reinvested earnings of
$11.0 billion, partly offset by intercompany debt inflows of $7.9 billion
(largely through finance affiliates in
the Netherlands Antilles). Details on
1984 developments are in a separate
section on "U.S. Direct Investment
Abroad" in this article.

Claims on unaffiliated foreigners
reported by U.S. nonbanking concerns
decreased $6.3 billion to $28.8 billion,
following a $6.5 billion increase (line
18). The decrease was mostly in dollar
deposits at banks in Canada, the
United Kingdom, and the Caribbean.

foreign rates and large financing
needs for mergers and acquisitions
contributed to a $5.7 billion rundown
of financial claims. Commercial

1. Total reserve assets include increases from changes in the par value of the dollar: on May 8,
1972, the increase totaled $1,016 million, consisting of $828 million gold stock, $155 million special drawing rights (SDR), and $33 million U.S. reserve position in the International Monetary
Fund (IMF); on October 18, 1973, the increase totaled $1,436 million, consisting of $1,165 million
gold stock, $217 million SDR, and $54 million reserve position in the IMF. The gold stock is
valued at $35 per fine troy ounce until May 8, 1972; thereafter, at $38 per fine troy ounce until
October 18, 1973, pursuant to the Par Value Modification Act (P.L. 92-268); and, thereafter, at
$42% per fine troy ounce pursuant to an amendment (in P.L. 93-110) to the Par Value Modification Act. Beginning in 1974, the value of the SDR, in which the U.S. holdings of SDR and the
reserve position in the IMF are denominated, fluctuates based on the weighted average of exchange rates for the currencies of principal IMF members. Foreign currency reserves are valued
at exchange rates at time of purchase through 1973 and at current exchange rates thereafter.
2. Also includes paid-in capital subscription to international financial institutions and outstanding amounts of miscellaneous claims that have been settled through international agreements to
be payable to the U.S. Government over periods in excess of 1 year. Excludes World War I debts
that are not being serviced.
3. 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.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

June 1985

A Note on the United States as a Net Debtor Nation
Sometime during the first half of 1985, the United States
became a net debtor nation for the first time since 1914, reflecting
a continued large current-account deficit and large net capital inflows. A cursory review of post-1950 developments in the U.S. net
international investment position shows that, over particular time
periods (except, perhaps, for the 1960's) major position swings have
been accounted for by specific component changes, rather than by
across-the-board changes.
In the 1950's, the U.S. net position increased mainly because of
a sharp increase in U.S. direct investment abroad (then referred to
as "le defi americain"). During the 1960's, the U.S. net position
continued to increase, but at a moderate pace, as most components
on both the asset and liability sides of the U.S. international balance sheet grew; U.S. direct investment abroad on the asset side
and foreign purchases of U.S. bonds and stocks on the liability side
showed the largest increases. In contrast, from 1970 through 1973,
the net U.S. position declined, as foreign official assets in the
United States soared, mostly reflecting purchases of U.S. Treasury
securities with dollars accumulated as a result of intervention in
exchange markets. Except for a temporary dip in 1977, when foreign assets in the United States jumped sharply—again reflecting
intervention purchases of dollars—the position rose through 1982,
largely as a result of an enormous increase in bank lending
abroad, a development that was to cause serious future problems
both for U.S. lenders and foreign borrowers, particularly some developing countries in Latin America.
In 1983 and 1984, a sharp drop in bank lending abroad (related
to the Latin American debt crisis) was accompanied by a substantial increase in funding abroad by U.S. banks. The resulting net
bank inflows contributed to a large decline in the U.S. net investment position. The decline was accentuated in 1984 by record net
foreign purchases of U.S. Treasury securities and bonds issued
abroad by U.S. corporations, a shift to other nonbank funding
abroad, and strong foreign direct investment inflows. These 198384 developments—a faster increase in foreign assets in the United
States than in U.S. assets abroad—mirrored record increases in
the U.S. current-account deficit that had to be "financed" by such
net capital inflows. It should be emphasized that the net inflows
were, in good part, the result of reduced outflows of U.S. funds
(particularly through the banking system) as well as continued
large inflows of foreign funds.
The special status of the United States position
The widespread international use of the dollar as the world's
leading trade, investment, and reserve currency makes a case for
treating the U.S. international investment position differently
from that of most other heavily externally indebted nations, such
as Brazil and Mexico. For one thing, the United States borrows
internationally in its own currency—the dollar—in contrast to
other countries, particularly the developing group, which borrow
in dollars and thus must buy dollars with their own and other currencies to repay such debts. For another, hundreds of billions of

claims decreased $0.6 billion, mainly
in trade financing with Latin American countries.
U.S. official reserve assets and other
U.S. Government assets
U.S. official reserve assets increased
$1.2 billion to $34.9 billion. Exchange
rate changes decreased reserve assets
$1.9 billion, partly offsetting capital
flow increases of $3.1 billion (line 3).




dollar-denominated claims and liabilities are held in Euromarkets
and in other countries for trade and investment purposes that do
not directly affect the U.S. investment position, but that augment
the preeminent position of the dollar as a world currency.
Nonetheless, the position of the United States as net debtor
nation has some important implications. First, the increase in
income payments to foreigners on their investments in the United
States will continue to contribute to a dimunition of the surplus
on services and to a widening of the U.S. current-account deficit.
The larger current-account deficit in and of itself must be accompanied by larger capital inflows, which in turn result in a further
increase in income payments to foreigners on their investments in
the United States. Second, as income payments to foreigners rise,
less income is available for consumption and investment in the
United States. However, foreigners have been returning, and may
continue to return, part of their receipts of income to the United
States in the form of productive investments, thus improving U.S.
economic activity and the consumption/in vestment mix. Also, foreigners may use some of their receipts to purchase more U.S.
goods and services, thus mitigating increases in the current-account deficit.
If foreigners, for whatever reason, decide not to do either, downward pressure on the dollar could develop to an extent that U.S.
interest rates might have to be higher than otherwise would be
the case. Then, the burden of adjustment stemming from net
debtor status would shift to interest-rate-sensitive sectors of the
U.S. economy from the export and import-competing sectors,
which thus far have borne the burden of the growing current-account deficit, strong dollar, and shrinking net investment position.
Interpreting the U.S. international investment position
The reported U.S. international investment position should be
interpreted with caution, because it is a rough indicator, rather
than a precise statistical measure. For instance, on the U.S. asset
side, the reported data for U.S. direct investment abroad (which
still exceeds foreign direct investment in the United States by a
substantial amount) and for gold are both understated—direct investment because it is carried at book value, and U.S. official gold
holdings because they are carried at $42.22 per ounce, compared
with a current market price about IVz times that amount. On the
U.S. liability side, there might well be a substantial understatement related to the statistical discrepancy (errors and omissions)
in the U.S. balance of payments accounts. If one assumes that a
large part of cumulative net unrecorded inflows of about $140 billion from 1979 through 1984 was accounted for by capital inflows,
foreign assets in the United States have been understated by that
amount, and the United States actually may have shifted to net
debtor position earlier than this year.

Changes in Foreign Assets in
the United States
Bank liabilities
Although there was a sharp cutback in U.S. banks' international
lending, they continued to borrow
substantial amounts of foreign funds.
U.S. liabilities to foreigners and international financial institutions reported by U.S. banks, excluding U.S.
Treasury securities, increased $31.7
billion to $312.3 billion, compared
with a $49.3 billion increase in 1983
and a $65.9 billion increase in 1982
(line 35). Much of the 1984 increase
occurred during the first half of the
year, when the U.S. expansion remained strong and was accompanied
by large private and public demands
on credit markets. During this period,
U.S. interest rates rose strongly while
foreign interest rates were virtually
unchanged; by the end of June, the
interest differential in favor of dollardenominated assets was the largest
since 1982. Inflows of funds helped finance U.S. banks' domestic loan expansion, which included financing for
large mergers and acquisitions. With
the flattening of domestic loan
demand at midyear, which included
diminishing merger financing needs,
and a large decline in U.S. interest
rates, inflows dropped rapidly in the
second half.
In contrast to recent years, only a
small portion of inflows, a $5.5 billion
increase to $150.6 billion, came from
banks' own foreign offices, principally
in the Caribbean and in Asia. Over
one-half of the inflows, a $14.6 billion
increase to $74.9 billion, came from
unaffiliated foreign banks, which accelerated their placement of funds
with agencies and branches in the
United States. (It was the agencies
and branches of foreign banks, rather
than U.S.-chartered banks, that accounted for most of the increase in
U.S. bank claims in 1984.) Liabilities
to other private foreigners increased
$10.9 billion to $60.5 billion; liabilities
to Latin America accounted for 60
percent of this increase. International
financial institutions reduced their liabilities $3.0 billion to $1.6 billion.
U.S. Treasury securities
Partly offsetting the somewhat
slower growth in bank-reported liabilities was a tripling of net purchases of




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
U.S. Treasury securities by private
foreigners and international financial
institutions to $22.4 billion. Price appreciation added another $0.5 billion
to foreign holdings, which increased
to $56.9 billion at yearend (line 30).
Much of the increase occurred in the
second half of the year, after the removal in July of the U.S. withholding
tax on interest payments to foreigners
and clarification of Treasury regulations regarding indentification of
buyers. As part of a program to increase foreign holdings of its securities, the Treasury placed two foreigntargeted issues abroad, amounting to
$2,0 billion, which were offered at a
price 30 basis points below domestically available Treasury securities of
comparable maturities.
Other U.S. securities

those in the U.S. market and sometimes at rates below those available
to the U.S. Treasury. Some borrowings were used to repay bank credits
that financed large acquisitions and
mergers. Also, various U.S. Government agency bonds were "stripped"
by U.S. dealers and sold to foreigners
as zero coupon certificates. Foreigners
also bought $3.1 billion in outstanding
U.S. corporate and other bonds.
Foreigners sold $0.8 billion of U.S.
stocks—their first year of net sales
since 1965; price depreciation reduced
holdings another $0.5 billion. At yearend, holdings were $95.9 billion. Uncertain U.S. stock price performance
in the first half of the year, the bond
market rally in the second half, and
moderate price advances in some foreign stock markets shifted interest
from U.S. stocks to these alternatives.
Most sales were from Western
Europe, largely British and Swiss accounts; in contrast, Canadian holdings
continued to increase.

Foreign holdings of U.S. securities
other than U.S. Treasury securities
increased $13.5 billion to $128.2 billion (line 31). Net purchases and price
appreciation of bonds set a record
(line 32). In contrast, net sales and a Foreign official assets

of foreign-held stocks (line 33).

eign-source funds to help meet this
need. A sizable portion of the resulting capital inflows was channeled to
U.S. parents through foreign affiliates, thus reducing the U.S. direct investment position abroad. U.S. parents' transactions both with finance
affiliates in the Netherlands Antilles,
whose primary function is to raise
funds abroad, and with all other foreign affiliates reflected these developments.
Borrowing by U.S. parents from
their finance affiliates in the Netherlands Antilles remained strong in the
first three quarters of 1984 and resulted in substantial intercompany
debt inflows for the year. The funds
were mostly raised by the affiliates'
sales of bonds in European capital
markets, where interest rates were
lower than in the United States. The
proceeds were then reloaned to U.S.
parents primarily to finance domestic
expansion and mergers. Borrowing
virtually ceased in the fourth quarter,
because removal of U.S. withholding
taxes on interest payments to foreigners enabled U.S. parents to borrow directly from foreign sources at essentially the same cost as through their
finance affiliates.
U.S. parent companies' transactions
with all other foreign affiliates also
resulted in large intercompany debt
inflows in 1984. Together with a low
level of equity capital outflows, the
inflows partly reflected the fact that,
because of the slow pace of recovery
abroad, foreign affiliates did not
expand their operations substantially
in 1984, and thus they required only
limited funding from their U.S. parents.2 Also, some U.S. parents may
have shifted financing of their foreign
affiliates away from more expensive
U.S.-source funds and to funds raised
abroad by the affiliates themselves.
Particularly large intercompany debt
inflows in petroleum may have reflected developments in worldwide petroleum markets (i.e., weak demand
abroad and higher U.S. imports) as
well as U.S. petroleum parents' need
for funds to finance several large
mergers.

2. Based on a survey taken in December, capital expenditures by majority-owned foreign affiliates of U.S.
companies increased 4 percent last year, following an
18-percent decline in 1983. See Ralph Kozlow, "Capital
Expenditures by Majority-Owned Foreign Affiliates of
U.S. Companies, 1985," SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
65 (March 1985): 23-28.




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
This is the first time that country-byindustry estimates of the U.S. direct investment position abroad and the foreign
direct investment position in the United
States are being published in the June
SURVEY. More detailed tables on the positions and on related capital and income
flows will be published in the August
SURVEY. Advance copies of the detailed
tables may be purchased after July 15
from the Bureau of Economic Analysis
(BE-50 Research), U.S. Department of
Commerce, Washington, DC 20230. The
tables will be available in two sets, one
for U.S. direct investment abroad and
one for foreign direct investment in the
United States. The cost is $5.00 per set.
Please specify the sets desired and make
check payable to BEA, U.S. Department
of Commerce.

By account.—The $6.5 billion increase in the position in 1984 consisted of capital outflows of $4.5 billion
and net positive valuation adjustments of $1.9 billion. The valuation
adjustments primarily reflected three
large, separate adjustments: one was
the upward revaluation of an investment in an Indonesian petroleum affiliate after it, and its U.S. parent,
were acquired by another U.S. company; the other two reflected sales of affiliates for more than the book value
carried in the position (one in mining
in Australia, the other in petroleum
in Japan). There were large offsetting
valuation adjustments—to Morocco in
petroleum (positive) and to Luxembourg in finance (negative)—which reflected a change in the ownership
structure of an affiliate.
Capital outflows consisted of equity
capital outflows of $1.5 billion and reinvested earnings of $11.0 billion,
partly offset by inflows on intercompany debt of $7.9 billion. The low
level of equity capital outflows reflected the sales of the Australian and
Japanese affiliates mentioned above
as well as the generally limited need
for funds by affiliates.
Intercompany debt inflows from finance affiliates in the Netherlands
Antilles were $5.2 billion. Inflows
from all other affiliates combined
were $2.7 billion and were more than
accounted for by transactions with petroleum affiliates. The inflows in petroleum reflected both a decrease in
U.S. parent company receivables due
from petroleum affiliates in Europe
and an increase in U.S. parent company payables due to petroleum affili-

31

ates in developing countries. The decrease in receivables partly reflected
weak demand for petroleum products
in most foreign industrial countries;
the increase in payables partly reflected increased U.S. petroleum imports.
Compared with 1983, equity capital
outflows in 1984 were down $3.3 billion, largely because of the absence of
the large outflows to crude petroleum
affiliates that had occurred in 1983.
Inflows on intercompany debt were
down $1.0 billion, primarily because
of the fourth-quarter dropoff in borrowing from finance affiliates in the
Netherlands Antilles; inflows from all
other affiliates combined were about
the same in both years, although in
1983 they were less concentrated in
petroleum.
Reinvested earnings were up $1.4
billion from 1983. The increase was
entirely in petroleum and was due to
a decline in distributed earnings;
earnings of petroleum affiliates, at
$10.0 billion, were about the same as
in 1983. Reinvested earnings of nonpetroleum affiliates were virtually unchanged; an increase in earnings of
$2.8 billion, to $18.8 billion, was accompanied by an increase of similar
magnitude in distributed earnings.
Earnings in all industries would
have been higher were it not for large
capital losses of $8.4 billion, up $1.9
billion from 1983. The losses were primarily due to the effect of dollar appreciation on translation of the affiliates' financial statements from foreign currencies into dollars.
By country.—The largest increase in
the position—$2.9 billion—was in
Canada. Although the increase was
spread over many industries, it was
strongest in petroleum and in transportation equipment manufacturing;
it was entirely due to the reinvestment of earnings, as equity and debt
capital flows were near zero.
The position in Europe increased
less than $1.0 billion. In several countries, including France, Germany, and
the Netherlands, the position decreased substantially. Countries with
the largest increases were the United
Kingdom ($1.3 billion), Switzerland
($0.9 billion), and Ireland ($0.8 billion). In all three countries, as in
Canada, reinvested earnings, rather
than equity or debt capital flows, accounted for the increase.
Among developing countries, the
largest increases were in Indonesia

stake in the U.S. affiliate to 100 percent.
By account— The $22.5 billion increase in the position in 1984 consisted almost entirely of capital inflows;
valuation adjustments were near zero.
Capital inflows consisted of equity
capital inflows of $10.9 billion, intercompany debt inflows of $7.9 billion,
and reinvested earnings of $3.7 billion.
Compared with 1983, capital inflows
were up $10.6 billion. Equity capital
inflows increased $2.2 billion, intercompany debt inflows increased $4.7
billion, and reinvested earnings increased $3.6 billion.

By country. —The largest increase
in the position—$5.9 billion—was
from the United Kingdom. Almost
$5.0 billion of the increase was in petroleum and consisted mainly of the
intercompany debt inflow discussed
earlier.

The positions of parents in the
Netherlands, Japan, and Canada also
increased substantially. The increase
for Netherlands parents was $3.5 billion and was mainly in petroleum and
manufacturing. In petroleum, reinvested earnings, which increased substantially in 1984, accounted for virtually all of the increase. In manufacturing, the increase was evenly divided among reinvested earnings, equity
capital inflows, and intercompany
debt inflows. Within manufacturing,
increases were largest in chemicals
and food.

5. Both foreign parents and foreign affiliates of foreign parents have positions and transactions with U.S.
affiliates. The positions and transactions of a foreign
parent—that is, the first foreign person in the U.S. affiliate's ownership chain—are classified in the country
of the foreign parent. The positions and transactions
of a foreign affiliate of the foreign parent are classified in the country of the foreign affiliate. To simplify
terminology, in this article, the term "foreign parent"
is used broadly to include foreign affiliates of foreign
parents as well as the foreign parents themselves.

33

The increase for Japanese parents
was $3.5 billion and was mainly in
wholesale trade, manufacturing, and
banking. In wholesale trade, a substantial portion of the increase was in
motor vehicle wholesale trade and
was mostly in the form of reinvested
earnings. The increases in both manufacturing and banking were largely
attributable to equity inflows to finance acquisitions. In manufacturing,
a large Japanese steelmaker formed a
partnership with a U.S. steelmaker.
In banking, one of Japan's largest
banks acquired a U.S. bank with operations on the west coast.
The increase for Canadian parents
was $2.6 billion and was mainly in
banking, manufacturing, and real
estate. In banking, an equity inflow
that financed the acquisition of a
large midwestern bank by one of Canada's largest banks accounted for
most of the increase. In manufacturing, the largest increases were in machinery and metals.

U,S, International Transactions, First Quarter 1985
A HE U.S. current-account deficit increased to $30.0 billion in the first
quarter from $25.5 billion in the
fourth. The increase was more than
accounted for by an increase in the
merchandise trade deficit; exports decreased slightly and imports rebounded from a sharp decrease. Net service
receipts decreased slightly, largely because falling interest rates reduced
receipts of income on portfolio investment more than payments; net receipts of income on direct investment
also decreased. Unilateral transfers
decreased due to a reduction in grants
to developing countries.
Among bank-reported capital flows,
claims on private foreigners increased
little, while liabilities to private foreigners increased strongly. Record foreign purchases of U.S. corporate
bonds newly issued abroad and moderate purchases of U.S. Treasury securities were only partly offset by the
continuing net sales of U.S. stocks by
foreigners and by record net U.S. purchases of foreign stocks. Exchange
market intervention by foreign mone-

tary authorities was reflected in a
large decrease in foreign official
assets in the United States.
The statistical discrepancy (errors
and omissions in reported transactions) was an inflow of $16.7 billion.

The dollar appreciated 11 percent

Mexico accelerated the rate of devaluation of the controlled peso against
the dollar to 21 centavos per day,

sharply towards the end of the quarter. Rising stock markets and removal
of withholding taxes on German securities purchased by nonresidents also
contributed to capital inflows to EMS
countries.
The dollar appreciated 5 percent on
a quarterly average basis against the
Japanese yen. A record Japanese current-account surplus and foreign purchases of Japanese stocks and Euroyen issues were more than offset by
record capital outflows to the United
States and Western Europe, where
higher interest rates prevailed. Outflows were also due to diversification
of assets by Japanese companies following recent liberalization of some
capital restrictions and to liquidation
of holdings of medium-term Japanese
securities at maturity by some foreign
investors.
The dollar appreciated 3 percent
against the Canadian dollar. A current-account surplus, sharply higher
interest rates, and attempts by the
new government to encourage foreign
direct investment limited the decline
of the Canadian dollar.

Merchandise trade
The merchandise trade deficit increased $4.9 billion to $29.4 billion in
the first quarter. Nonpetroleum imports rebounded from the sharp drop
in the fourth quarter; petroleum imports fell sharply. Agricultural exports fell, due primarily to lower
grain exports; nonagricultural exports
continued to increase slowly.
Imports have been exceptionally
strong in the past 2l/2 years, largely
because of the high and rising exchange value of the dollar. Table D
highlights the strength in imports by
comparing over three-quarter periods
the increases in constant-dollar imports with corresponding increases in
constant-dollar gross domestic purchases of goods and structures. Begin-

ning in 1983, imports captured an unusually large percentage of the increases in domestic purchases.
Through 1983 and the first half of
1984, they captured about one-fifth of
the increases in domestic purchases—
a strong level of import penetration.
During the most recent three quarters, however, imports accounted for
80 percent of the much smaller increase in domestic purchases. This extraordinary import strength in the
face of a substantial slowdown in domestic purchases largely reflects the
cumulative impact of the high ex-

change value of the U.S. dollar, which
reduced the dollar cost of imports.
Table E highlights the correspondence of changes in business inventory
accumulation and changes in imports;
the very large changes in imports in
1984 and 1985 have consistently been
in the same direction as changes in
business inventory accumulation. This
correspondence reflects the fact that
imports, in the period in which they
enter the country, go into both kinds
of gross domestic purchases—inventories and final sales.
Nonpetroleum imports increased
$7.2 billion, or 11 percent, to $73.9 bil-

lion; volume increased 13 percent.
The rebound in all major commodity
categories reversed the 12-percent decline in volume in the fourth quarter.
Consumer goods increased $2.2 billion
or 15 percent. Electrical appliances
accounted for one-half the increase
and apparel for one-quarter. Automotive products increased $1.7 billion or
12 percent. Imports from areas other
than Canada increased $1.5 billion,
primarily due to complete cars and
parts from Japan. During the quarter,
the United States indicated that it
would not seek renewal of the voluntary export restraints that limited
Japanese car exports to 1.85 million
per year. The Japanese Ministry of
International Trade and Industry announced that car exports would still
be limited to 2.3 million per year, 24
percent higher than the previous ceiling, effective in the second quarter.
Capital goods increased $1.8 billion or
12 percent, with the largest increase
in electrical machinery. Nonpetroleum industrial supplies and materials increased $0.5 billion or 3 percent.

Increases were widespread except for
nonprecious nonferrous metals, which
continued to weaken due to softness
in industrial production. Iron and
steel imports increased $0.3 billion to
near-record levels. Most of the increase was from Canada, which was
not a party to recent bilateral agreements with other countries restricting
exports of selected iron and steel
products to the United States. Foods,
feeds, and beverages increased $0.5
billion, or 10 percent, due to coffee,
cocoa, sugar, and fish.
Petroleum imports decreased $2.9
billion, or 20 percent, to $11.3 billion;
the average number of barrels imported per day decreased to 4.61 million
from 5.58 million, the lowest quarterly average since 1971. The average
price per barrel declined to $26.86
from $27.59 (chart 5). The decrease in
imports primarly reflected slower
U.S. growth and perhaps expectations
of further price declines.
Exports increased $0.5 billion, or 1
percent, to $55.8 billion; volume decreased 2 percent. Exports have recovered in 2l/2 years only about fourfifths of the decrease that occurred in
1981 and 1982; volume increases have
been somewhat less. Agricultural exports, after some initial recovery,
have been flat or have declined over
the past 2 years; there has been no recovery on a constant-dollar basis.
Nonagricultural export growth has
slowed over the past three quarters,
and on a constant-dollar basis has virtually ceased.

Agricultural exports decreased $1.1
billion, or 11 percent, to $8.5 billion;
volume decreased 10 percent. Wheat
and other grains accounted for nearly
all the decline—shipments were down
$0.9 billion, or 20 percent. The high
value of the dollar and good harvests
abroad were contributing factors. In
addition, a court ruled in February
that one-half of grain exports under a
U.S. Government program which
combined interest free credits with
export credit guarantees (blended
credits) must be shipped on U.S. bottoms. This ruling raised the transportation costs of these exports to noncompetitive levels and led to suspension of the program. The suspension
caused cancellation of over $0.5 billion in shipments of wheat and flour,
primarily destined for North Africa
and Middle Eastern countries. The
first-quarter impact was small; most
of the canceled shipments were scheduled for the second quarter.
Nonagricultural exports increased
$0.5 billion, or 1 percent, to $47.3 billion: volume was unchanged. Capital
goods more than accounted for the increase; they were up $1.1 billion, or 5
percent, due to a bunching of aircraft
deliveries and increases in computers
and in broadcasting and telephone
equipment. Automotive exports continued at record levels, up $0.3 billion
or 6 percent; complete cars to Canada
were up $0.3 billion or 2 percent. Industrial supplies and materials decreased $0.2 billion.
Service transactions
Net service receipts decreased $0.6
billion to $2.6 billion. A drop in net
receipts of income on direct and portfolio investment more than accounted
for the decrease.
Receipts of income on U.S. direct
investment abroad decreased to $5.0
billion from $5.5 billion. Earnings
before capital gains and losses decreased in most countries. Capital
losses were unchanged at $2.4 billion.
Larger losses in Canada reflected both
translation losses and a write-off by a
petroleum subsidiary. Capital losses
were lower in Latin America and in
the United Kingdom, where the
pound rose sharply at the end of the
quarter. Net payments of interest declined $0.3 billion, or 25 percent, to
$0.9 billion, reflecting a decline in
payments to Netherlands Antilles finance affiliates. Payments of income




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
on foreign direct investment in the
United States declined slightly to $2.5
billion.
Receipts of income on other private
investment decreased $1.7 billion, and
payments decreased $0.8 billion,
largely because the lagged impact of
falling interest rates affected receipts
more than payments. Receipts and
payments of income on U.S. Government assets and liabilities were virtually unchanged.
Net travel payments decreased $0.3
billion to $1.1 billion. Receipts from
overseas visitors increased and payments of U.S. travelers abroad decreased. Although expenditures in the
first quarter decreased compared with
the fourth, the number of travelers
going abroad continued to show
strong year-over-year increases. Receipts from Canada and Mexico both
decreased; payments to Canada increased and to Mexico decreased. Passenger fare payments were unchanged at $1.7 billion, and receipts
increased slightly to $0.8 billion.
Other transportation receipts were up
slightly to $3.6 billion, on the
strength of increases in exports on
U.S.-operated liner and tramp vessels.
Other transportation payments increased $0.2 billion to $3.9 billion; the
fluctuations in payments have closely
paralleled the large swings in imports
over the past three quarters.
Transfers under U.S. military sales
contracts increased to $2.8 billion
from $2.5 billion. Direct defense expenditures abroad decreased slightly
to $2.9 billion, as construction activity
in Saudi Arabia continued to decline.
Net unilateral transfers decreased
$0.9 billion to $3.2 billion, as grants to
developing countries were reduced.
U.S. assets abroad
U.S. official reserve assets increased
$0.2 billion in the first quarter. Limited acquisitions of German marks,
Japanese yen, and British pounds as
the result of exchange market intervention were partly offset by a $0.5
billion repayment by Argentina of a
bridge loan extended in the fourth
quarter as part of an adjustment program sponsored by the International
Monetary Fund (IMF). The U.S. reserve position in the IMF decreased
$0.3 billion; holdings of special drawing rights increased $0.3 billion.
U.S. claims on foreigners reported
by U.S. banks increased $0.3 billion,

37

compared with an increase of $4.9 billion. The demand for U.S. bank credit
abroad has been limited due to moderate expansion abroad and the availability of funds from Eurobond markets. Foreign lending has also been
restrained because of strong domestic
credit demands, relatively high U.S.
interest rates, and U.S. banks' attempts to reduce foreign loan exposure and increase bank capital-asset
ratios. Claims on banks' own foreign
offices increased $1.5 billion: the reversal in January of large yearend
outflows was offset later in the quarter by an increase in claims on Western Europe. Claims on foreign public
borrowers were unchanged. Among
those claims, those on Canada increased reflecting a standby revolving
credit agreement between the Canadian government and a consortium of
U.S. and foreign banks to supplement
Canada's international reserves. A
small increase in claims on Latin
America reflected drawdowns of credits arranged in previous quarters and
a partly offsetting large repayment by
Mexico. Because of improved economic conditions, Mexico was able to renegotiate a long-term rescheduling
agreement in March on more favorable terms; no new bank financing
was required. Claims on unaffiliated
banks and other private foreigners decreased $4.1 billion. An increase in
claims on Canada and the United
Kingdom was more than offset by a
decrease in claims on Latin American
and Asian countries.
Net U.S. purchases of foreign securities decreased $1.2 billion to $2.5 billion; net stock purchases nearly tripled to a record $1.9 billion, but net
bond purchases slowed because of
sales of outstanding issues. Moderate
expansion abroad, the rise in major
foreign stock markets, and continued
dollar appreciation, which reduced
the price of foreign stocks in U.S.
dollar terms, all contributed to the increase. Equity purchases may also
have been spurred by recent denationalization of a major British company
and by limited financial deregulation
in Japan. Purchases of Japanese
stocks were $0.6 billion; Canadian and
British stocks, $0.4 billion each; and
Dutch and Swedish stocks, $0.2 and
$0.1 billion, respectively. In contrast,
net bond purchases slowed substantially. New issues in the United
States were reduced because of high

NOTE.—Table shows only transactions with affiliates established primarily to borrow funds abroad and relend them to their U.S. parents.

U.S. long-term rates and attractive
pricing alternatives offered borrowers
in the Eurobond market, where borrowing was at a record pace. Net
sales of outstanding issues were $0.7
billion. Purchases in the United Kingdom slowed primarily because British
gilt-edge securities with currencyhedging options offered by several
major U.S. dealers were down from
an especially strong fourth-quarter
level.
U.S. direct investment shifted to a
$0.6 billion net inflow, compared with
an outflow of $5.4 billion. Net equity
flows have been negligible for the
past three quarters. A shift to intercompany debt inflows partly reflected
the absence of large repayments of
debt that occurred in the fourth quarter. First-quarter inflows related to
borrowing from Netherlands Antilles
finance affiliates were substantially
reduced now that U.S. corporations
can borrow directly in the Eurobond
markets without being subject to
withholding taxes (table F).
Foreign assets in the United States
Foreign official assets in the United
States decreased $11.4 billion, compared with a $7.1 billion increase in
the fourth quarter (table B). Drawdowns of dollar holdings of $6.7 billion by industrial countries mostly reflected heavy coordinated exchange
market intervention sales of dollars
by EMS countries, Canada, and
Japan. Canadian holdings increased
slightly as intervention sales of dollars were more than offset by borrowings from the Eurobond market and
from standby credit arrangements
with U.S. and foreign banks to replenish reserves. Dollar holdings of OPEC
members decreased $1.8 billion; those




of other developing countries decreased $2.7 billion.
Liabilities to private foreigners and
international financial institutions reported by U.S. banks, excluding U.S.
Treasury securities, increased $13.0
billion, compared with $4.5 billion. Inflows from foreign banks were strongest in February and early March
when U.S. interest rates rose sharply
and a large overnight Eurodollar interest rate differential favored offshore borrowing.
Purchases of U.S. Treasury securities by private foreigners and international financial institutions were $2.7
billion, compared with a record $9.5
billion in the fourth quarter.

Net foreign purchases of U.S. securities other than U.S. Treasury securities increased $0.1 billion to $9.5 billion, the second consecutive record
quarter (chart 6). Record bond purchases were partly offset by continued
sales of stocks. New bond issues sold
abroad by U.S. corporations remained
strong at $9.4 billion, as corporations
continued to concentrate borrowing
directly in the Eurobond market
(rather than through their Netherlands Antilles finance affiliates), following the removal last July of the
withholding tax. Lower interest rates
abroad and dealer competition to float
new issues contributed to a wide diversity of issues and favorable borrowing terms (in some cases lower
rates than on U.S. Treasury issues of
similar maturities). Net foreign sales
of U.S. stocks were a record $1.1 billion, the fourth consecutive quarter of
net sales. The attractiveness of bonds
following the removal of the withholding tax and concerns about a slowdown of the U.S. economy may have
contributed to the sales. In addition,
the runup of U.S. stock prices in January and further appreciation of the
dollar provided foreigners an opportunity to realize substantial profits.
Large sales were made by Germany
and the Netherlands, and smaller
sales by Japan and the United Kingdom.
Net inflows of capital for foreign
direct investment in the United
States were $2.7 billion, compared
with $4.7 billion. Intercompany debt
transactions accounted for most of the
decrease, as payables declined after
rising strongly in the fourth quarter.
In equity transactions, the purchase
of a large manufacturing plant by a
Japanese company was more than
offset by reduced inflows from Europe
and developing countries.

TECHNICAL NOTES
As is customary each June, estimates of U.S. international transactions are revised to incorporate new
information. With the exception of
two of the revisions for 1978-84 discussed below, all revisions were limited to 1981-84. Annual estimates for
1960-1984 and quarterly estimates for
1979-84 are presented in tables 1 and
2. Annual estimates for 1974-84 and
quarterly estimates for 1983 and 1984
are presented in table 3. Annual estimates for 1982-84 and quarterly estimates for 1983 and 1984 are presented
in tables 4-10. Table lOa presents
annual estimates for 1982-84.
Seasonal adjustment for selected
current-account items and for changes
in U.S. government assets, other than
official reserve assets, were recalculated by extending through 1984 the
period used to derive seasonal adjustment factors. The new factors were
applied to quarterly data for 1983 and
1984.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Footnotes to U.S. International Transactions Tables l-10a
General notes for all tables: "Preliminary. *Less than $500,000(±). n.a. Not available.
Table 1:
1. Credits, +: exports of goods and services; unilateral transfers to United States; capital inflows (increase in foreign assets (U.S. liabilities) or decrease in U.S. assets); decrease in U.S. official reserve assets.
Debits, —: imports of goods and services, unilateral transfers to foreigners; capital outflows (decrease in foreign assets (U.S. liabilities) or increase in U.S. assets); increase in U.S. official reserve assets.
2. Excludes transfers of goods and services under U.S. military grant programs (see line 14).
3. Excludes exports of goods under U.S. military agency sales contracts identified in Census
export documents, excludes imports of goods under direct defense expenditures identified in
Census import documents, and reflects various other adjustments (for valuation, coverage, and
timing) of Census statistics to balance of payments basis; see table 3.
4. For all areas, amounts outstanding March 31, 1985, were as follows in millions of dollars:
line 34, 35,493; line 35, 11,093; line 36, 5,973; line 37, 11,386; line 38, 7,041.
5. Includes sales of foreign obligations to foreigners.
6. Consists of bills, certificates, marketable bonds and notes, and nonmarketable convertible
and nonconvertible bonds and notes.
7. Consists of U.S. Treasury and Export-Import Bank obligations, not included elsewhere, and
of debt securities of U.S. Government corporations and agencies.
8. Includes, primarily, U.S. Government liabilities associated with military sales contracts and
other transactions arranged with or through foreign official agencies; see table 4.
9. Consists of investments in U.S. corporate stocks and in debt securities of private corporations
and State and local governments.
10. Conceptually, the sum of lines 67 and 62 is equal to "net foreign investment" in the national income and product accounts (NIPA's). However, the foreign transactions account in the
NIPA's (a) includes adjustments to the international transactions accounts for the treatment of
gold, (b) excludes capital gains and losses of foreign affiliates of U.S. parent companies from the
NIPA's measure of income receipts from direct investment abroad, and from the corresponding
income payments, and (c) beginning with 1973-IV, excludes shipments and financing of military
orders placed by Israel under Public Law 93-199 and subsequent similar legislation. Line 65 differs from "net exports of goods and services" in the NIPA's for the same reasons with the exception of the military financing, which is excluded, and the additional exclusion of U.S. Government interest payments to foreigners. The latter payments for NIPA's purposes, are excluded
from "net exports of goods and services" but included with transfers in "net foreign investment."
A partial reconciliation table of the international accounts and the NIPA's foreign transactions
account appears in the "Reconciliation and other Special Tables" section in this issue of the
SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS.
11. Includes return import into the United States, at a depreciated value of $21 million in
1972-IV and $22 million in 1973-11, of aircraft originally reported in 1970-III in line 3 as a longterm lease to Australia.
12. Includes extraordinary U.S. Government transactions with India. See "Special U.S. Government Transactions," June 1974 SURVEY, p. 27.
13. Includes foreign currency denominated notes sold to private residents abroad. See table 9,
line B5, footnote 4.
Table 2:
For footnotes 1-10, see table 1.
11. See footnote 13 to table 1.
Table 3:
1. Exports, Census basis, represent transaction values, f.a.s. U.S. port of exportation, for all
years; imports, Census basis, represent transaction values, f.a.s. foreign port of exportation for
1974-81. For all prior years and beginning in 1982, imports reflect Customs values. (See Technical
Notes, June 1982 SURVEY.) The unadjusted figures for exports and imports shown in lines Al,
A10, Dl, and D60 are as published by the Census Bureau, as are the seasonally adjusted figures
on lines Al and A10; Census data are adjusted to include trade between the U.S. Virgin Islands
and foreign countries. The seasonally adjusted figures in lines Dl and D60 are prepared by BEA
and represent the summation of seasonally adjusted 4-digit end-use categories (see Technical
Notes in the June 1980 SURVEY).
2. Adjustments in lines A5 and A14, B12, B46, and B80 reflect the Census Bureau's reconciliation of discrepancies between the merchandise trade statistics published by the United States and
the counterpart statistics published in Canada. These adjustments also have been distributed to
the affected end-use categories in section C.
3. Exports of military equipment under U.S. military agency sales contracts with foreign governments (line A6), and direct imports by the Department of Defense and the Coast Guard (line
A15), to the extent such trade is identifiable from Customs declarations. These exports are included in tables 1, 2, and 10, line 3 (transfers under U.S. military agency sales contracts); and the
imports are included in tables 1, 2, and 10, line 17 (direct defense expenditures).
4. Addition of electrical energy, deduction of exposed motion picture film for rental rather than
sale; deduction of exports to the Panama Canal Zone before October 1, 1979; net change in stock
of U.S.-owned grains in storage in Canada; net timing adjustments for goods recorded in Census
data in one period but found to have been shipped in another; and coverage adjustments for special situations in which shipments were omitted from Census data.
5. Correction for discrepancy between sum of four quarters, seasonally adjusted, and the unadjusted annual totals, plus the difference between Census published seasonally adjusted totals and
the summation of seasonally adjusted 4-digit end-use categories.
6. Addition of understatement of inland freight in f.a.s. values of U.S. merchandise imports
from Canada in 1974-1981; deduction of foreign charges for repair of U.S. vessels abroad, which
are included in tables 1, 2, and 10, line 20 (other transportation); deduction of imports from
Panama Canal Zone before October 1, 1979; net timing adjustments for goods recorded in Census
data in one period but found to have been shipped in another, and coverage adjustments for special situations in which shipments were omitted from Census data.
7. Annual and unadjusted quarterly data shown in this table correspond to country and area
data in table 10, lines 2 and 16. Trade with international organizations includes purchases of nonmonetary gold from the IMF, transfers of tin to the International Tin Council (ITC), and sales of
satellites to Intelsat. The memoranda are defined as follows: Industrial countries: Western
Europe, Canada, Japan, and Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa; Members of OPEC: Venezuela, Ecuador, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Algeria, Libya, Nigeria, Gabon; Other countries: Eastern Europe, Latin American Republics, other
Western Hemisphere, and other countries in Asia and Africa, less OPEC. Before 1984, complete
geographic area detail was not available for some balance of payments adjustments, e.g., timing.
Therefore, the new detail shown does not always sum to the values shown for the traditional area
aggregates, e.g., EC(10). For all years, "Asia" and "Africa" exclude certain Pacific Islands and
unidentified countries included in "Other countries in Asia and Africa."
8. Includes nuclear fuel materials and fuels.
Table 4:
1. Expenditures to release foreign governments from their contractual liabilities to pay for defense articles and services purchased through military sales contracts—first authorized (for
Israel) under Public Law 93-199, section 4, and subsequently authorized (for many recipients)
under similar legislation—are included in line A3. Deliveries against these military sales contracts are included in line CIO; see footnote 2. Of the line A3 items, part of these military expenditures is applied in lines A40 and A43 to reduce short-term assets previously recorded in lines
A38 and C8; this application of funds is excluded from lines C3 and C4. A second part of line A3
expenditures finances future deliveries under military sales contracts for the recipient countries
and is applied directly to lines A39 and C9. A third part of line A3, disbursed directly to finance
purchases by recipient countries from commercial suppliers in the United States, is included in
line A34. A fourth part of line A3, representing dollars paid to the recipient countries to finance
purchases from countries other than the United States, is included in line A45.
2. Transactions under military sales contracts are those in which the Department of Defense
sells and transfers military goods and services to a foreign purchaser, on a cash or credit basis.
Purchases by foreigners directly from commercial suppliers are not included as transactions
under military sales contracts. The entries for the several categories of transactions related to
military sales contracts in this and other tables are partly estimated from incomplete data.




3. The identification of transactions involving direct dollar outflows from the United States is
made in reports by each operating agency. Data for the first quarter 1985 are extrapolated estimates by BEA, because of incomplete reports from one operating agency.
4. Line A35 includes foreign currency collected as interest and line A40 includes foreign currency collected as principal, as recorded in lines A13 and A14 respectively.
5. Includes (a) advance payments to the Department of Defense (on military sales contracts)
financed by loans extended to foreigners by U.S. Government agencies and (b) the contraentry for
the part of line CIO which was delivered without prepayment by the foreign purchaser. Also includes expenditures of appropriations available to release foreign purchasers from liability to
make repayment.
6. Includes purchases of loans from U.S. banks and exporters and payments by the U.S. Government under commercial export credit and investment guarantee programs.
7. Excludes liabilities associated with military sales contracts financed by U.S. Government
grants and credits and included in line C2.
Table 5:
1. Also included in line 4.
2. Acquisition of equity holdings in existing and newly established companies, capital contributions, capitalization of intercompany accounts, and other equity contributions.
3. Sales, liquidations, and other dispositions of equity holdings, total and partial.
4. Petroleum includes the exploration, development and production of crude oil and gas and the
transportation, refining and marketing of petroleum products exclusive of petrochemicals. Manufacturing excludes petroleum refining. "Other" industries includes mining; trade; banking; finance (except banking), insurance, and real estate; agriculture, forestry, and fishing; construction, transportation, communications, and public utilities; and services.
5. Also included in line 40.
Table 6:
1. Primarily provinical, regional, and municipal.
2. Largely transactions by International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD),
International Development Association (IDA), International Finance Corporation (IFC), Asian Development Bank (ADB), and Inter-American Development Bank (IDE).
3. Estimate for scheduled redemptions and identifiable early retirements. Includes estimates
based on Canadian statistics for redemptions of Canadian issues held in the United States. Unidentified and nonscheduled retirements appear in line 29.
4. Issues through finance affiliates established primarily to borrow capital from abroad. Issues
area almost always guaranteed by the establishing U.S. parent and are often covertible into the
parents' securities. To the extent proceeds are transferred from offshore affiliates to U.S. parents—the common practice—they are recorded as direct investment transactions in table 5, line
8.
Table 7:
1. Primarily mortgages, loans, and bills and notes drawn on foreigners.
2. Consists of Western Europe, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.
3. Bahamas, British West Indies (Cayman Islands), Netherlands Antilles, and Panama.
4. Based on data for Ecuador, Venezuela, Indonesia, and other Asian and African oil-exporting
countries.
Table 8:
1. Includes central governments and their agencies and corporations; state, provincial, and
local governments and their agencies and corporations; and international and regional organizations.
2. U.S.-owned banks are mainly U.S.-chartered banks and Edge Act subsidiaries. U.S. brokers'
and dealers' accounts may be commingled in some categories. Foreign-owned banks include U.S.
branches and agencies of foreign banks and majority-owned bank subsidiaries in the United
States.
3. Western Europe, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.
4. Bahamas, British West Indies (Cayman Islands), Netherlands Antilles, and Panama.
5. Based on data for Ecuador, Venezuela, Indonesia, and other Asian and African oil-exporting
countries.

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

Constant-Dollar Inventories, Sales, and Inventory-Sales Ratios for Manufacturing and
Trade
Tables 1, 2, and 3 present constant-dollar inventories, sales, and inventory-sales ratios, respectively, quarterly and monthly. Table 4 presents
quarterly constant-dollar fixed-weighted inventory-sales ratios, i.e., ratios
obtained by weighting detailed industry ratios by 1972 sales. Table 5 pre-

sents monthly inventories for manufacturing by stage of fabrication,
Quarterly estimates for 1981:1 to 1984:11, and monthly estimates for 1984
were published in the September 1984 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS.

term RP's issued by commercial banks and savings and loan associations.
L.—This broad measure of liquid assets equals M3 plus other liquid assets consisting of
