and publishing, profits increased from
an unusually low fourth-quarter level.
In durables manufacturing, the
largest increases were in fabricated
metals ($2 billion) and in lumber; the

surge in residential construction activity brought on by low interest rates
was one factor behind the increases.
Profits of motor vehicles manufacturers increased $1 billion, as a sharp increase in auto output more than

and an increase in cost of sales incentive programs. In nonelectric machinery (which includes computer manufacturing), profits declined $lVfe billion, reflecting a substantial decline
in sales.
Most of the $4 billion increase in
profits of financial corporations was
accounted for by insurance, especially
property and casualty insurance
where reduced claims and expenses in
the first quarter, in conjunction with
rate increases in previous quarters,
produced a swing from losses to profits. Current net earnings of Federal
Reserve Banks, which are treated as
corporate profits in the NIPA's, also
increased; an increase in Federal Reserve holdings of Federal debt instruments more than offset a decline in
interest rates.
Profits from the rest of the world
declined $1 billion. Profits of U.S.owned corporations abroad were flat,
while profits of foreign-owned corporations in the U.S. increased.

First-quarter NIPA revisions
The 75-day revisions of the national
income and product accounts estimates for the first quarter of 1986 are
shown in table 1. The downward revision of GNP was more than accounted
for by net exports, reflecting the incorporation of the recently released
revision of the balance of payments
accounts.

1. The inventory valuation adjustment (IVA) shown in this table differs from the IVA that
adjusts business incomes. The IVA in this table reflects the mix of methods (first-in, first-out;
last-in, first-out; etc.) underlying book value inventories derived primarily from Census Bureau
statistics. This mix differs from that underlying business income derived primarily from
Internal Revenue Service statistics. Prior to 1973, the two IVA's are the same because
information required for separate estimates is not available.

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

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

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

Text continues from p. 35

Beginning with the second quarter of
1982, transactions with unincorporated affiliates were required to be reported separately by account. However, many large U.S. companies encountered reporting problems. The reporting problems in the last three
quarters of 1982 and errors in BEA's
estimates of first quarter 1982 transactions resulted in the understatement of equity capital outflows and
the overstatement of reinvested earnings of unincorporated affiliates.
When reporters filed the 1982 benchmark survey, they provided corrected
data by account, which led to sizable
revisions in the estimates. The revisions were particularly large in the
petroleum industry, which conducts
proportionally more of its direct investment activities through unincorporated affiliates.
Timing differences may also have
generated sizable capital flow revisions, especially in the intercompany
debt component. BEA calculates debt




flows as the change in debt balances
from one period to the next. The balance must be reported to BEA on the
quarterly survey no later than 45
days after the close of an affiliate's
quarter and is based on preliminary,
unaudited data. The benchmark
survey, in contrast, was filed several
months after the close of the year and
was based on final, audited data. Because of the preliminary nature of the
quarterly data, the dates on which
transactions are recognized frequently
differ from those in the final, audited
financial statements. The differences
are particularly large for debt transactions because of their size and volatility.
The $1.2 billion, or 5 percent, downward revision in income probably resulted from affiliates switching from
FASB 8 to FASB 52 (discussed earlier)
and from changes to reported data.
Royalties and license fees, which
were previously combined with fees
for other services in one account (entitled "fees and royalties"), are now
shown separately. Royalties and li-

cense fees were revised up 10 percent,
and fees for other services were revised down 23 percent. The latter revision is partly due to a clarification
of the instructions on the form for
this item. The clarified instructions
stressed that sales of services, as well
as reimbursements for services rendered, were to be reported. (Sales of
services are receipts for services rendered that are normally included in
sales in the income statement of the
seller; reimbursements are receipts
for services, such as allocated or overhead charges, that are normally included in "other income" in the
income statement of the provider of
the service.) Previously, some companies excluded sales of services. Because fees for "other services" a&)
shown on a net basis, the downward
revision implies that the prior estimates excluded larger sales of services by foreign affiliates to U.S. parents than by U.S. parents to foreign
affiliates. The revisions also reflected
corrections to the data for a small
number of affiliates.

Plant and Equipment Expenditures,
the Four Quarters of 1986
BUSINESS plans to spend $387.2
billion for new plant and equipment
(P&E) in 1986, 0.2 percent more than
in 1985, according to the BEA survey
conducted in April and May (tables 1
and 2, and chart I).1 Spending was
$386.4 billion in 1985, 9.0 percent
more than in 1984.

The latest estimate of planned
spending for 1986 is $7.9 billion lower
than that reported in April for the
survey conducted in January through
March. The previous survey showed
planned spending of $395.1 billion for
1986, 2.3 percent more than in 1985.2
Although downward revisions were

I. 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 domestic P&E expenditures for all industries surveyed
quarterly, which account for nearly 90 percent of capital spending by U.S. nonfarm business. Sample data
are 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. The estimates of planned spending have been adjusted for systematic reporting biases. The bias adjustments are calculated by industry for each planning
horizon. For a given time period, the bias-adjustment
factor is the median of the ratios of planned to actual
expenditures for that time period in the preceding 8
years. Before adjustments, 1986 planned spending was
$379.05 billion in "all industries," $152.10 billion in
manufacturing, and $226.94 billion in nonmanufacturing.

Table 1.—New Plant and Equipment Expenditures by Business

widespread, three-fourths of the total
revision was accounted for by the petroleum manufacturing and mining
industries. The latest estimate for the
two industries combined indicates a
decline in 1986 of $10.0 billion, a decline $5.9 billion larger than reported
in the previous survey; in 1985, the
two industries combined showed little
change in spending. (If the two industries are excluded from "all industries/' the 1986 planned increase
would be 3.2 percent.)
Real spending—capital spending adjusted to remove price changes—is estimated to decline 1.3 percent in 1986.
Real spending increased 7.6 percent
in 1985, following an increase of 15.1
percent in 1984 (tables 2 and 3). Estimates of real spending are calculated
from survey data on current-dollar
spending and from estimated capital
goods price deflators developed by

NOTE.—Percent changes are calculated from constant-dollar estimates, which are based on actual and planned current-dollar
spending and on estimated capital goods price deflators developed by BEA.

BE A.3 The capital goods deflator for
"all industries" is projected by BEA
to increase 1.5 percent in 1986, following a 1.3-percent increase in 1985.
Current-dollar spending in the first
quarter of 1986 declined 5.4 percent,
to an annual rate of $376.1 billion, following a 2.3-percent increase in the
fourth quarter of 1985; first-quarter
spending was 3.7 percent lower than
anticipated in the previous survey.
Plans reported in the latest survey indicate a 3.0-percent increase in the
second quarter of 1986, a 0.4-percent
increase in the third, and a 2.0-percent increase in the fourth.
Real spending declined 6.3 percent
in the first quarter of 1986, following
a 2.3-percent increase in the fourth
quarter of 1985. Estimates indicate a
2.5-percent increase in the second
quarter of 1986, a 0.2-percent increase
in the third, and a 1.8-percent increase in the fourth.
The first-quarter decline in capital
spending and the widespread downward revisions in spending plans for
the year are consistent with several
indicators of investment activity. Specifically, the large downward revisions in spending by petroleum manufacturing and mining are apparently
related to the recent steep decline in
prices of petroleum products. More
generally, other unfavorable indicators include first-quarter declines in
iiet new capital appropriations; corpo3. Specifically, the current-dollar figures reported by
survey respondents are adjusted using implicit price
deflators derived from unpublished detailed estimates
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.




rate profits, both before and after tax;
corporate net cash flow; new orders of
nondefense capital goods; and the
manufacturing capacity utilization
rate. One bright spot in the investment outlook is the continued decline
in interest rates. Furthermore, proposed changes in the tax laws may be
influencing investment decisions and
may continue to do so during the remainder of the year.

Manufacturing Programs
In manufacturing, current-dollar
spending declined 9.8 percent in the
first quarter of 1986, to an annual
rate of $143.1 billion, following a 2.9percent increase in the fourth quarter
of 1985. Durable goods industries declined 10.7 percent in the first quarter
of 1986, and nondurables, 8.9 percent.
Manufacturers plan a 3.5-percent increase in the second quarter, a 0.3percent increase in the third, and a
5.9-percent increase in the fourth.
For the year 1986, manufacturers
plan to spend $149.2 billion, 2.6 percent less than in 1985; in the previous
survey, a planned decline of 0.9 percent was reported. Manufacturers'
spending increased 10.3 percent in
1985, following a 19.5-percent increase
in 1984.
Durable goods industries plan a 1.4percent decline in 1986; the largest
planned decline is in machinery
(except electrical), 7.9 percent. Stoneclay-glass and electrical machinery
plan declines of 5.0 percent and 4.7
percent, respectively. Aircraft and
fabricated metals plan increases of
13.9 percent and 13.2 percent, respectively. The weakness in machinery
(except electrical) may be related to

19

first-quarter declines in the industry's
sales and capacity utilization rate;
one of the industry's biggest customers, the electric utilities industry, has
also cut back 1986 capital spending
plans. The planned increase in aircraft follows a decline in 1985 and
may be related to the high demand
for commercial aircraft, continued
high levels of defense spending, and a
relatively high level of capacity utilization. The planned increase in fabricated metals may reflect the large
1985 increase in sales.
Nondurable goods industries plan a
3.6-percent decline in 1986. A large
planned declined in petroleum, 24.4
percent, and a smaller one in textiles,
4.3 percent, more than offset planned
increases in the other nondurable industries. The planned decline in petroleum is probably related to the
continuing decline in oil prices and to
lower company profits. The largest
planned increase in the nondurables
industries is in "other nondurables,"
16.4 percent, and is led by printingpublishing, which continues to adopt
new labor-saving technologies.
Real spending by manufacturers is
estimated to decline 4.1 percent in
1986—2.5 percent in durables and 5.6
percent in nondurables. In 1985, real
spending increased 8.8 percent—9.5
percent in durables and 8.3 percent in
nondurables.

Nonmanufacturing Programs
In nonmanufacturing, currentdollar spending declined 2.6 percent
in the first quarter of 1986, to an
annual rate of $233.0 billion, following a 1.8-percent increase in the
fourth quarter of 1985. Nonmanufacturing industries plan a 2.7-percent
increase in the second quarter of
1986, a 0.4-percent increase in the
third, and a 0.4-percent decline in the
fourth.
For the year 1986, nonmanufacturing industries plan to spend $238.1
billion, 2.1 percent more than in 1985;
in the previous survey, a planned increase of 4.3 percent was reported.
Nonmanufacturing industries' spending increased 8.2 percent in 1985, following a 14.3-percent increase in 1984.
In 1986, the largest increases are
planned in air transportation, 20.1
percent, and in "commercial and
other," 7.0 percent. The largest declines are planned in mining, 22.2
percent; railroads, 8.8 percent; and

20

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

electric utilities, 6.8 percent. The increase in air transportation is
planned despite recent losses experienced by airlines and may reflect
heightened competition and the
recent wave of proposed mergers in
the industry. In "commercial and
other," much of the strength in 1986
spending plans is in retail trade and
in insurance. The planned decline in
mining industries is widespread, but
is sharpest in oil and gas extraction,
which has been adversely affected by
the decline in oil prices. The planned

decline in railroads may be related to
lack of growth in railroad traffic and
to cutbacks in the nonrail operations
of railroad firms. The planned decline
in electric utilities appears to result
from current overcapacity in that industry; the Federal Reserve Board capacity utilization rate for electric utilities declined more than 3 percentage
points, from 84.1 percent in the first
quarter of 1985 to 80.7 percent in the
first quarter of 1986. In addition, electric utilities have been finding it difficult to obtain rate increases from reg-

June 1986

ulatory agencies to finance cost overruns or cancellations of projects, especially nuclear plants.
Real spending by nonmanufacturing industries is estimated to increase
0.6 percent in 1986; it increased 6.8
percent in 1985. An estimated increase in "commercial and other," 5.8
percent, more than offsets estimated
declines in mining, 22.8 percent;
public utilities, 5.7 percent; and transportation, 0.8 percent.

New plant and equipment expenditures shown in the table below are based on the survey
conducted in January through March 1986 and include estimates, not published earlier, for
nonmanufacturing industries surveyed only annually. (Estimates from the January-March
survey for the manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries surveyed quarterly were
published in the April 1986 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS.) For industries surveyed quarterly, the estimates of planned spending for 1986 shown below differ from those shown in the
preceding article, which are based on the survey conducted in April and May 1986.
The nonmanufacturing industries surveyed only annually account for about 11 percent of
capital spending by total nonfarm business. Current-dollar spending for the annual-only industries increased 0.6 percent in 1985; a 2.0-percent decline in new plant expenditures was
more than offset by a 5.3-percent increase in new equipment expenditures. Estimates based
on the January-March survey indicate a 12.0-percent increase in planned spending for 1986,
somewhat stronger than the increase planned by the nonmanufacturing industries surveyed
quarterly.

Sources of Change in Federal Transfer Payments
to Persons: An Update
J. RANSFER payments to persons by
the Federal Government are income
payments, generally in monetary
form, for which no current services
are rendered.1 From 1970 to 1985,
transfer payments, which are compo>nents of both Federal expenditures
and personal income, increased by
about $300 billion—an annual rate of
growth of 13 percent. Because their
growth rate was higher than that of
Federal expenditures (11 percent) and
personal income (10 percent), the
transfer payments share increased
from 30 percent of Federal expenditures in 1970 to 37 percent in 1985
and from 7 percent of personal
income to 11 percent during the same
period. Over this period, however,
these shares did not increase continuously; they fluctuated throughout the
period, with a peak in 1983 and a decline thereafter (table 1). The recent
decline was largely the result of the
recovery from the 1981-82 recession.
This article discusses the sources of
change in transfer payments. It uses
the same analytical framework and
categorizations of transfer payments
as an article in the October 1982
SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS on the
same subject.2 The first section describes the framework. The second
section provides an overview of the
sources of change in total transfer
payments. The section presents revised estimates of the sources of
change from the earlier article and
updated estimates for 1982-85. The
third section focuses on the sources of
change in the major categories of
v./l. In the national income and product accounts
(NIPA's), there are two components of Federal transfer payments—to persons and to foreigners. This article deals only with the former. Total Federal transfer
payments to persons are reported in NIPA table 3.2;
components of the total are reported in NIPA table
3.11. In subsequent references, "transfer payments"
refers only to transfer payments to persons.

transfer payments. Emphasis is
placed on developments in the 1980's.
Analytical framework
Changes in transfer payments can
be attributed to several sources: (1)
Automatic cyclical effects, (2) automatic inflation effects, and (3) legislation and other factors. Automatic cyclical effects reflect automatic responses of transfer payment programs
to fluctuations in economic activityfluctuations indicated by changes in
the unemployment rate. In cyclically
sensitive programs, increases in the
unemployment rate increase payments; decreases in the unemployment rate decrease payments.3
Automatic inflation effects reflect
the automatic responsiveness of transfer payment programs to changes in
prices. Inflation-sensitive programs
can be categorized as indexed or nonindexed.4 Indexed programs, which
3. The cyclically sensitive programs are old-age, survivors, and disability insurance, food stamps, veterans
readjustment, and unemployment insurance. They are
discussed in Holloway, "Sources," pp. 25-32. The automatic cyclical responses are estimated using the cyclically adjusted budget, In the 1982 "Sources" article,
the estimates were made using a variant of the cyclically adjusted budget based on potential GNP and the
corresponding unemployment rate. The estimates in
this article are made using a variant based on middleexpansion trend GNP and the corresponding unemployment rate. The potential GNP variant and methods are discussed in Frank de Leeuw, Thomas M.
Holloway, Darwin G. Johnson, David S. McClain, and
Charles A. Waite, "The High-Employment Budget:
New Estimates, 1955-80," SURVEY 60 (November 1980):
13-43. The middle-expansion trend variant and methods are discussed in Frank de Leeuw and Thomas M.
Holloway, "Cyclical Adjustment of the Federal Budget
and Federal Debt," SURVEY 63 (December 1983): 25-40
and in Thomas M. Holloway, Cyclical Adjustment of
the Federal Budget and Federal Debt-Detailed Methodology and Estimates, Bureau of Economic Analysis
Staff Paper No. 40 (Washington, DC: U.S. Government
Printing Office, 1984), pp. 6-7, 10-12, and 222.
4. The indexed programs are old-age, survivors, and
disability insurance, railroad retirement, military retirement, Federal civilian retirement, workers' compensation, black lung benefits, food stamps, supplemental security income, and veterans pension and disability benefits. Nonindexed inflation-sensitive programs include unemployment insurance and hospital
and supplementary medical insurance (medicare). For
details, see Holloway, "Sources," pp. 25-32.

include most transfer payment programs, are linked by legislation to
changes in a specific price index. Nonindexed inflation-sensitive programs
automatically respond to inflation
through responsiveness to nominal
wages (e.g., unemployment insurance)
or price changes of goods and services
covered by the program (e.g., medicare).
Legislative changes and other factors reflect discretionary policy actions, the effects of demographic
changes, noncyclical growth in real
wages, and other factors not attributable to automatic cyclical and automatic inflation effects. The legislative
changes and other factors source is
derived as a residual by subtracting
automatic cyclical effects and automatic inflation effects from changes
in total transfer payments. Because it
is a residual, the causes of its fluctuations vary from quarter-to-quarter.
Overview of the sources of change

of changes in transfer payments and
estimates of automatic cyclical effects

effects (inflation-induced

changes), and changes5 due to legislation and other factors. The table also
shows transfer payments in dollar
levels and as percentages of personal
income.
Cycle-induced changes generally increased transfer payments during recessions and decreased them during
recoveries (second panel in chart 2).
Chart 3 shows changes in the unemployment rate gap—an indicator of
changes in economic conditions.6 The
close relationship between changes in
the unemployment rate gap and
cycle-induced changes in transfer payments in chart 2 is apparent. Sharp
cycle-induced increases accompanied
the 1974-75, 1980, and 1981-82 recessions; cycle-induced declines accompanied the subsequent recoveries. Because automatic cyclical effects tend
to be offsetting over time, the sustained—and often large—increases accompanying the 1980 and 1981-82 recessions were offset by sustained—
and often large—declines during
1983-85.
Inflation-induced changes increased
transfer payments in all quarters
(third panel in chart 2). The sharp
upward movements starting in 1975
mainly reflected cost-of-living adjustments (COLA's) to indexed programs—especially to Social Security.
The relationship between the inflation rate shown in chart 3 and inflation-induced changes in chart 2 is not
obvious.7 The reason is that the
COLA's reflect an adjustment in a
single quarter based on several earlier quarters of inflation. The lags
often exceed 6 months. The indexing
provisions of Social Security illustrate
the lag relationship. Under current
law, the Social Security COLA occurs
in January on the basis of the change
in the Consumer Price Index (CPI)
5. The revisions of the estimates for 1970-81 are
fairly small and are mainly due to changes in the
methodology for measuring the effects of the business
cycle on transfer payments. See footnote 3 for details.
The other source of revision is the comprehensive revision of the national income and product accounts
that was released in December 1985.
6. The unemployment rate gap is the actual unemployment rate minus the middle-expansion trend n( j
employment rate. The change in the unemployment
rate gap is approximately equal to the change in the
actual unemployment rate because the trend unemployment rate changes very little from one quarter to
the next. For estimates of the unemployment rate gap,
see Thomas M. Holloway, "The Cyclically Adjusted
Federal Budget and Federal Debt: Revised and Updated Estimates," SURVEY 66 (March 1986): 13.
7. The inflation rate is measured by the percentage
change in the all items measure of the Consumer
Price Index (CPI) for wage and clerical workers. The
inflation rate in chart 3 is shown at quarterly rates.

June 1986

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

from the third quarter of 2 years
prior to the third quarter of the prior
year.8 Consequently, changes in the
inflation rate may not be reflected in
inflation-induced changes for a considerable length of time.
The deceleration of inflation during
the 1980's that was evident in chart 3
was reflected, with a lag, by smaller
inflation-induced changes in chart 2.
Nevertheless,
inflation-induced
changes consistently contributed to
increases in transfer payments because prices generally continued to
rise, albeit at a slower rate.9 Consequently, automatic inflation effects,
unlike automatic cyclical effects, tend
to be cumulative. Current benefit
levels reflect not only the most recent
inflation adjustments, but the inflation adjustments of the past as well.
Changes in transfer payments attributable to legislation and other fac8. An example of the current-law procedure was the
January 1986 COLA. It was based on the CPI change
from 1984:111 to 1985:111. From 1975-83, the COLA occurred in July based on a first-quarter-to-first-quarter
change in the CPI.
9. The CPI declined in one quarter (1983:1) during
the period. For most transfer payment programs, declining prices over a sustained period would not result
in a decline in benefits; COLA's simply would not
occur.

tors were very volatile throughout the
period (fourth panel in chart 2). In
some quarters, changes due to this
source could be identified as discre-

1975, and legislated temporary unemployment benefits associated with the
1981-82 recession. However, in most
quarters, changes due to this source
were not associated with any one program and reflected a complex mix of
many small changes.
Sources of change in major transfer
payment programs
Federal transfer payments may be
placed in five categories: (1) Social Security (excluding medicare); (2) other
retirement and disability programs,
which consist of Federal civilian retirement, military retirement, railroad retirement, workers' compensation, and black lung benefits; (3) medicare; (4) programs with a needs test,
which consist of supplemental security income (SSI), food stamps, veterans
pension and disability benefits, and
the earned income credit; and (5)
other programs, which include unemployment benefits, veterans readjustment, veterans life insurance, and
military medical insurance.10 The remainder of this section highlights the
sources of change in each of the five
categories. For each category, table 3
shows the dollar levels, the dollar
levels as percentages of personal
income, and the sources of change.
Chart 4 shows each category as a percentage of personal income. The table
and chart show clear differences in
the trends and sources of change
among the categories.

early 1970's, but did not change much
since then. None of the programs are
cyclically sensitive, but all of them
are indexed. As in the case of Social
Security, the combination of the deceleration of inflation and shifts in
the effective dates of COLA's contributed to inflation-induced changes that
were much smaller in recent years
than those during 1980-82.12

Social Security. —Social Security
(excluding medicare) was the dominant category throughout the period.
In 1985, benefits amounted to $183
billion, and accounted for 50.0 percent
of transfer payments and 5.6 percent
of personal income. Over the period,
Social Security as a percentage of personal income had an upward trend,
with two periods of decline or leveling
(1977-79 and 1983-85). Although the
automatic cyclical effects accounted
for some of the change in the category, the automatic inflation effects
were much more important. Since indexing of Social Security began in

Medicare. — Medicare
benefits
amounted to $70 billion in 1985, and
accounted for 19.1 percent of transfer
payments and 2.1 percent of personal
income. Over the period, medicare as
a percentage of personal income had
a strong upward trend with no periods of decline. While the rate of inOther Betireniant and DIsa^lilKfegfafin^'i
crease in this percentage slowed since
1983, the percentages of all other categories declined.13 Medicare is not cyclically sensitive, but it does automatically respond to inflation through
its sensitivity to health care costs. Inflation-induced changes consistently
accounted for one-half or more of the
annual changes in medicare benefits
since the mid-1970's. Inflation-induced
changes in the past few years did not
decrease as much from their peak
year levels as in the Social Security

10. Detailed discussions of the programs in each of
these categories—including the program descriptions
and origins, indexing provisions, and number of beneficiaries—are provided in the earlier article. See
Holloway, "Sources," pp. 27-32. Military medical insurance was not discussed in the earlier article. It is
described in "An Advance Overview of the Comprehensive Revision of the National Income and Product
Accounts," SURVEY 65 (October 1985): 20.

11. The shift of the Social Security COLA from July
to January, discussed earlier, was accomplished by
omitting the adjustment scheduled for July 1983 based
on changes in the CPI from 1982:1 to 1983:1 and replacing it with a COLA in January 1984 based on
changes in the CPI from 1982:111 to 1983:111. Although
there was no COLA in 1983, there was an annual inflation^nduced change because the full-year effect in

retirement COLA in 1983 for beneficiaries under age
62. See Joseph A. Pechman, ed., Setting National Priorities: The 1984 Budget (Washington, DC: The Brookings Institution, 1983), pp. 98-102.
13. Part of the deceleration of the increase in the
medicare percentage was probably due to cost containment provisions established by the Tax Equity and
Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982. These provisions involve guidelines on hospital cost increases that provide financial incentives to hospitals to limit their cost
increases.

Programs with a needs test.—Benefits paid under the programs in this
category amounted to $35 billion in
1985, and accounted for 9.4 percent of
transfer payments and 1.0 percent of
personal income. As a percentage of
personal income, this category increased noticeably in 1974 with the
start of the SSI program. Since then,
the percentage had a slight downward
trend. The automatic cyclical effects

age of personal income, the category
increased during recessions and declined during recoveries. For example,
there was a sharp decline from 198384 during the economic recovery. The
decline was an important source of
the decline in total transfer payments
as a percentage of personal income
during the same period. Although
automatic inflation effects account for
some of the change in the category,
the automatic cyclical effects are
much more important. Because of the
importance of the cyclical effects,
even the total dollar amount of the

The International Investment Position
of the United States in 1985

FOREIGN assets in the United
States exceeded U.S. assets abroad at
the end of 1985, resulting in a negative net international investment position of the United States of $107.4
billion (table 1). The position shifted
$111.8 billion from the positive $4.4
billion (revised) at the end of 1984.
The 1985 negative position was the
first recorded since 1919, when systematic compilation of asset and liability estimates began. (For the years
before 1919, rough and intermittent
estimates indicate a negative position
for 1914 and earlier years.) At the end
of 1985, U.S. assets abroad were
$952.4 billion, and foreign assets in
the United States were $1,059.8 billion. Recorded net capital inflows
were $94.7 billion. Other net changes
in the position, amounting to a negative $17.2 billion, were more than accounted for by price appreciation of
U.S. securities, particularly stocks, in
foreign portfolios; the effects of dollar
depreciation on U.S. assets were
partly offsetting.
A decline in the U.S. net international investment position had been
underway for several years, as growth
of foreign assets in the United States
exceeded growth of U.S. assets abroad
(table 2). Valuation gains had added
substantially more to foreign assets in
the United States than to U.S. assets
abroad, and net capital inflows to the
United States had been large since
1983. Net inflows of funds through securities markets, attracted partly by
high—although declining—yields on
U.S. securities, had become sizable.
Banks in the United States had
sharply reduced their net internationNOTE.—The sections on "U.S. Direct Investment Abroad," on "Foreign Direct Investment
in the United States," and the technical note
on U.S. direct investment abroad were written
by Barbara F. Brereton, Ned G. Howenstine,
and Ralph Kozlow, respectively.

al creditor position by curtailing foreign lending and relying more extensively on foreign borrowing. Other net
inflows to U.S. corporations had been
buoyed by large foreign direct investments in the United States. These
combined net inflows of capital were
the necessary counterpart to the persistently rising U.S. trade and current-account deficits, which reached
$124.4 billion and $117.7 billion, respectively, in 1985. In addition, there
had been large positive (inflows) statistical discrepancies in the U.S. international transactions accounts since
1978. If part of these net unrecorded
inflows were accounted for by capital
inflows, foreign assets in the United
States would have been understated
by that amount.
In 1985, the increase in foreign
assets in the United States reflected
several interrelated developments:
Continued strong U.S. demand for foreign funds, especially through new
issues of securities abroad; rapidly
falling interest rates and associated
price appreciation on debt instruments; and economic growth in the
United States that slowed substantially but still matched or exceeded
growth in most leading industrial
countries abroad. Despite the large
decline in the dollar's exchange value,
foreign demand for U.S. assets, especially by Japan, was substantial; the
focus was on longer term securities
with higher yields and the greatest
prospects for price appreciation. An
easing of capital restrictions facilitated the accumulation of dollar assets
by foreign investors. Net inflows to
U.S. banks continued, but were much
smaller than those generated by securities transactions. Among U.S. assets
abroad, foreign stocks and direct investment both were bolstered by the
appreciation of leading foreign currencies against the dollar.

Changes in U.S. Assets Abroad
Bank claims
Claims of U.S. banks were virtually
unchanged in 1985, following a 2-year
slowdown in lending to foreigners.
International demand for U.S. bank
credit remained constrained by moderate economic growth and the availability of attractively priced financing
alternatives in the securities markets.
U.S. banks further reduced their exposure in the Eurodollar interbank
market and with major debtor countries. A rise in claims on own foreign
offices was due to temporary yearend
financing needs.
Claims on foreigners reported by
U.S. banks increased $1.1 billion to
$446.7 billion in 1985 (line 19); the increase reflected small capital flows
and an adjustment for the introduction and enhanced coverage of claims
of U.S. savings and loan institutions.
U.S. banks provided back-up facilities
for note issuance and revolving underwriting facilities and participated
in
the
Eurocommercial paper
market—all alternatives to traditional syndicated bank credit activities.
Banks in the United States remained
reluctant to lend to countries with
payments problems or large international indebtedness, despite some
progress in debt reschedulings and
improvement in balance of payments
positions by large debtor countries in
Latin America; continued efforts of
U.S. bank supervisory authorities to
reduce bank exposure and improv/^
capital adequacy reinforced the more
conservative lending policies.
U.S. banks' claims on their own foreign offices increased $18.2 billion in
1985, mostly due to temporary yearend financing needs. In addition, Japanese-owned banks in the United
States accelerated their lending to
home offices after authorities in

Japan allowed credit costs there to
rise steeply in the fourth quarter.
Claims on unaffiliated banks decreased $9.1 billion, as U.S. banks
continued to withdraw from overseas
financing. Claims on other private
foreigners decreased $6.7 billion; the
decrease included the sale of international assets of a major U.S. bank to
its foreign parent. In addition, banks
sharply curtailed dollar acceptances
payable by foreigners. Claims on foreign public borrowers decreased $1.9
billion, primarily on Europe and
Asian countries. Public borrowers in

Latin America received only $0.5 billion, mostly claims on Argentina that
finalized agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on austerity measures and new credits.
Banks' claims for domestic customers'
accounts decreased $4.0 billion, as
U.S. money market mutual funds and
large U.S. corporations drew down
their deposits at overseas banking offices. In contrast to reductions in
dollar-denominated claims, U.S. bank
claims payable in foreign currencies
increased $4.2 billion.

Foreign securities
U.S. holdings of foreign securities
increased $12.0 billion due to price appreciation, $8.0 billion due to net purchases, and $4.2 billion due to appreciation in foreign currencies. The
combined $24.2 billion, or 27 percent,
increase brought U.S. portfolio holdings to $114.1 billion in 1985 (line 15).
Strong price performance in major
foreign stock markets—Western European market prices advanced 30 to 50
percent—contributed to $6.3 billion in
price appreciation. That amount, plus

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

$2.5 billion in exchange rate gains
due to sharply appreciating currencies and a record $4.0 billion in net
purchases brought U.S. holdings of
foreign stocks to $40.7 billion (line 17).
British stocks were in strongest
demand, comprising 40 percent of
U.S. purchases. U.S. residents accelerated their purchases of Canadian
stocks—to $1.2 billion—although the
Canadian dollar weakened. U.S. holdings of Japanese stocks increased $1.0
billon to $3.9 billion on price and exchange rate appreciation; U.S. pur-

chases were small. Among other countries, there were sizable U.S. purchases in Hong Kong.
U.S. holdings of foreign bonds increased $11.4 billion to $73.4 billion;
net purchases and valuation adjustments were $4.0 billion and $7.4 billion, respectively (line 16). For the
second consecutive year, U.S. investors made large purchases of outstanding British gilt-edge bonds because of their high yields and currency hedging options offered by U.S.
dealers marketing these securities in
the United States. Newly issued

June 1986

bonds in the United States—a major
source of foreign securities for U.S.
investment—were unchanged at $5.6
billion despite a strong rally in the
U.S. bond market. U.S. holdings of
Canadian securities increased, mostly
due to a step-up in new issues. Holdings of international and regional organizations dropped, as U.S. net sales
exceeded new issue purchases. Holdings of outstanding Japanese bonds
increased somewhat, possibly attracted by actual and expected yen appreciation.

Preliminary.
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 through May 7, 1972; thereafter, at $38 per fine troy ounce
through October 17, 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 subscriptions 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.

7. Estimates include results of 1974 and 1978 portfolio benchmark surveys conducted by the
U.S. Department of the Treasury. Beginning with the 1978 benchmark, marketable Treasury

$50.9 billion and on price appreciation, largely in U.S. stocks, of $26.8
billion (line 31). Foreign interest in
U.S. bonds carried over from 1984,
when the U.S. withholding tax on interest paid to foreigners was removed
in July and favorable clarification of
U.S. rulings protecting foreign investor anonymity followed. By yearend
1985, foreigners held $81.8 billion,
$49.1 billion more than at the prior
yearend (line 32). Declining interest
rates and heavy U.S. corporate
demand for long-term funds contributed to substantial new issues abroad.
U.S. borrowers took advantage of declining rates to repay short-term indebtedness and large credits from
merger and acquisition financing in
1984 and to restructure their balance
sheets. On the foreign demand side,
portfolio managers worldwide were
attracted to relatively high, albeit declining, yields on U.S. securities and
the potential for capital gains; in
some cases, purchases of U.S. securities were facilitated by deregulation.
Under such conditions, U.S. corporate
borrowers placed one-third—or $37.6
billion—of their new bond issues in
overseas markets. Most new issues
were fixed-rate bonds denominated in
dollars, but 15 percent were foreign
currency or dual currency placements. U.S. financial institutions
raised $10.2 billion in floating rate
notes. U.S. Government federally
sponsored agencies raised $2.0 billion
in special foreign targeted issues. Because the majority of U.S. corporate
bonds issued overseas are through underwriters in London, the recent expansion is primarily reflected in
Western Europe, although there is
worldwide distribution of these bonds.
U.S. stocks in foreign portfolios increased $30.1 billion to $125.9 billion,
on price appreciation of $25.2 billion
and near-record net purchases of $4.9
billion (line 33). U.S. stock prices
lagged advances in many foreign markets until the fourth quarter, when
prices rose sharply to account for
most of the 26-percent advance in
1985. Foreign net sales ceased in early
1985 but did not shift to strong purchases until the last half of the year,
when expectations of U.S. economic
growth and corporate earnings improved. British, German, and Caribbean holdings advanced strongly.
Foreign official assets
Foreign official assets in the United
States increased $3.2 billion to $202.3




billion: Transactions reduced assets
$1.3 billion, while price appreciation
added $4.5 billion in value. Although
the reduction in transactions was
moderate, there were significant
shifts among major country groups.
Dollar assets of OPEC members decreased $6.8 billion, bringing to $19.2
billion the cumulative drop in 198385. Losses of oil revenues due to declining production and prices accounted for the reduction. Other developing
countries increased their dollar assets
$3.9 billion. Some large debtor countries in Latin America added to their
dollar reserves, as did several newly
industrialized countries in Asia that
had large trade surpluses. Assets of
industrial countries increased $1.0 billion; substantial drawdowns in the
first quarter and smaller ones in the
fourth, associated with stepped-up
coodinated intervention operations,
were more than offset by increases in
the second and third quarters.
Foreign direct investment in the
United States and other liabilities
Foreign direct investment in the
United States slowed to an 11-percent
increase, following a 20-percent surge
in 1984: Investment increased $18.4
billion to $183.0 billion, including a
valuation adjustment of $0.5 billion
(line 29). In 1985, U.S. economic
growth moderated, and funding costs
in the United States declined, substantially reducing the need for capital transfers from abroad. Equity
capital and intercompany debt inflows
slowed to $16.8 billion; reinvested
earnings fell to $1.1 billion. (Details
on 1985 direct investment developments are in a separate section on
"Foreign Direct Investment in the
United States" in this article.)

concerns decreased $1.9 billion to
$29.1 billion (line 34). One-half of the
decrease represented a shift of liabilities, mostly to Latin America, of U.S.
savings and loan institutions to coverage in U.S. bank-reported liabilities.
The remaining decrease, largely to
banks in the Caribbean and United
Kingdom in the first half of the year,
includes net repayments on loans connected with financing large mergers
and acquisitions in the United States
in 1984. After repayments subsided,
net inflows resumed in the second
half of the year and increased sharply
in the fourth quarter.

Direct Investment
U.S. direct investment abroad
The U.S. direct investment position
abroad increased 9 percent in 1985, to
$232.7 billion (table 3). This increase
was the largest since 1980, when the
position rose 15 percent; following the
worldwide recession of 1981, the position fell in 1982 and maintained a
pattern of limited growth through
1984.1
The position increased in 1985 primarily for two reasons. First, U.S.
parent companies were no longer
placing new debt issues through their
finance affiliates in the Netherlands
Antilles. In the third quarter of 1984,
the U.S. Government removed the
withholding tax on interest paid to
foreigners. Previously, because the
Netherlands Antilles had tax-exempt
status, U.S. parent companies had
their Netherlands Antilles affiliates
borrow in the European capital markets and re-lend the proceeds to them.
The affiliates' loans to their U.S. parents gave rise to sizable intercompany
debt inflows. With the removal of the
withholding tax, U.S. parent companies could borrow directly in the European capital markets. As a result,
intercompany debt with their Netherlands Antilles affiliates shifted $6.5
billion, to net outflows of $2.9 billion,
as prior borrowings were paid down.
Second, the sharp depreciation of
the dollar against most major currencies in 1985 resulted in capital gains
of $4.9 billion, primarily from translating affiliates' financial statements
from foreign currencies into dollars.
(In 1984, by comparison, the appreciation of the dollar resulted in capital
losses of $8.7 billion.) Translation
gains, which are included in earnings
but are not available for distribution,
become part of foreign affiliates' reinvested earnings. Thus, reinvested
earnings, which contribute to the
overall position, more than doubled,
from $9.1 billion to $20.7 billion.
1. The position is the book value of U.S. direct investors' equity in, and outstanding loans to, their foreign
affiliates. A foreign affiliate is a foreign business enterprise in which a single U.S. investor owns at least
10 percent of the voting securities, or the equivalei^}

Estimates for 1982-84 have been revised to incorporate the results of the
1982 benchmark survey of U.S. direct investment abroad, which was completed
in 1985. See the technical note at the end

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

By account— The $19.7 billion increase in the position consisted of capital outflows of $18.8 billion and net
positive valuation adjustments of $0.9
billion. Capital outflows consisted of
reinvested earnings of $20.7 billion,
intercompany debt outflows of $0.4
billion, and unusually large net
equity inflows of $2.3 billion. (For
data on capital outflows by account,
see Table 5 in "U.S. International
Transactions, First Quarter 1986," on
page 59 of this issue.)
The large net equity inflows were
more than accounted for by petroleum and finance affiliates. Inflows
from petroleum affiliates were $2.6
billion. In an effort to consolidate operations and retire some of the debt
incurred from recent large acquisitions in the United States, three U.S.
petroleum companies sold off one
large affiliate in Canada and partial
interests in two other affiliates—one
in Canada and one in Colombia.
These sales also required valuation
adjustments of $0.9 billion to reflect
the fact that the equity was sold for
more than the book value carried in
the position.
Net equity inflows from finance affiliates were $1.2 billion. The inflows
were largely the result of U.S. parent
companies reducing their equity stake
in Netherlands Antilles finance affiliates.
U.S. companies reported $1.1 billion
in equity outflows to manufacturing
affiliates. The outflows, which were
widely distributed among developed
and developing countries, may have
reflected an expectation of further expansion abroad.2
In contrast to large net intercompany debt inflows in 1984, companies
reported net outflows of $0.4 billion in
1985. Most of the shift was due to the
reversal of transactions with finance
affiliates in the Netherlands Antilles,
as U.S. parent companies repaid old
debt and discontinued new borrowing
from their affiliates.
Reinvested earnings were up $11.5
billion from 1984, as earnings increased $12.6 billion, to $39.6 billion;
distributed earnings increased only

$1.1 billion. The increase in earnings,
which occurred primarily in manufacturing, was largely due to a shift from
capital losses of $8.7 billion in 1984 to
capital gains of $4.9 billion in 1985.
Earnings net of these capital gains
and losses were almost unchanged.

2. Based on a survey taken in December, majorityowned foreign manufacturing affiliates increased capital expenditures 9 percent last year and planned to
increase spending 14 percent in 1986. See Jeffrey H.
Lowe, "Capital Expenditures by Majority-Owned Foreign Affiliates of U.S. Companies, 1986," SURVEY OF
CURRENT BUSINESS 66 (March 1986): 18-23.




By country.—The position increased
10 percent in developed countries, to
$172.8 billion, primarily in manufacturing. Increases in Europe and
Japan, largely attributable to the depreciation of the dollar, were partly
offset by declines in Canada, Australia, and South Africa. In Europe, the
position increased 16 percent, to
$106.8 billion. The position with
Japan increased 15 percent, to $9.1
billion, primarily due to currency
translation gains and increased equity
outflows.
In Canada, the position fell $0.4 billion. Very large equity inflows from
the sale of interests in several petroleum affiliates were partly offset by reinvested earnings of $1.8 billion,
largely among manufacturing affiliates. In Australia and South Africa,
the combination of declining earnings
but stable distributed earnings resulted in negative reinvested earnings,
which lowered the position. The position with Australia fell $0.1 billion, to
$8.6 billion, and that with South
Africa fell $0.2 billion, to $1.3 billion.
In developing countries, the position increased 9 percent, to $54.5 billion. Most of the increase was with
Latin America; the position with
Latin America increased 17 percent,
to $29.5 billion, largely because of the
shift to intercompany debt outflows
with Netherlands Antilles finance affiliates. The position with South
America, in contrast, fell 2 percent, to
$18.6 billion, primarily due to the sale
of an interest in the petroleum extraction affiliate in Colombia mentioned earlier and to declining petroleum earnings in Peru and Venezuela. The position with Mexico increased 11 percent, to $5.1 billion,
largely in manufacturing.
In "other Asia and Pacific/' the position fell 2 percent, to $14.9 billion.
Positions with most Asian countries
increased slightly. These increases,
however, were more than offset by declines in Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, and, particularly, in the Philippines, where the position fell 22 percent. Growth of the position with Indonesia, which was 43 percent in

June 1986

1984, slowed to 3 percent last year, as
easing of restrictions on the repatriation of petroleum earnings led to distributed earnings of $1.2 billion.
Foreign direct investment in the
United States
The foreign direct investment position in the United States increased 11
percent in 1985, to $183.0 billion, compared with a 20-percent increase in
1984 (table 4).3 Growth slowed because (1) an exceptionally large intercompany debt inflow in petroleum in
1984 was followed by a much smaller
inflow in 1985, (2) equity capital inflows dropped substantially, (3) affiliates' reinvested earnings declined,
and (4) valuation adjustments were
smaller than in 1984.
The large 1984 intercompany debt
inflow in petroleum—over $4 billion—
financed an increase in a Netherlands
parent's ownership stake in its U.S.
petroleum affiliate. The inflow was in
the form of a loan from a British affiliate of the Netherlands parent to the
U.S. petroleum affiliate. The increase
in ownership also involved an inflow
in 1985, but less than one-fourth that
in 1984.
Equity capital inflows decreased
$3.1 billion in 1985. The decrease occurred despite a significant increase
in acquisitions of new U.S. affiliates.4
The decrease in inflows mainly reflected the decline in U.S. interest
rates. The lower U.S. rates caused
borrowing in U.S. capital markets to
take a larger share, and funds from
foreign parents a smaller share, in financing for new and existing investments.
Affiliates' reinvested earnings declined $1.8 billion, to $1.1 billion. The
decline was largely attributable to a
sharp drop in affiliates' earnings,
which was widespread among industries. The drop in earnings probably
reflected the slowdown in U.S. economic growth in 1985.
3. The position is the book value of foreign direct irC
vestors' equity in, and net outstanding loans to, their
U.S. affiliates. A U.S. affiliate is a U.S. business enterprise in which a single foreign direct investor owns at
least 10 percent of the voting securities, or the equivalent.
4. Data from BEA's survey of new foreign direct investments in the United States indicate that outlays
to acquire new U.S. affiliates increased 49 percent in
1985. See Michael A. Shea, "U.S. Business Enterprises
Acquired or Established by Foreign Direct Investors in
1985," SURVEY 66 (May 1986): 47-54.

Valuation adjustments raised the
position $0.5 billion in 1985, compared
with $2.2 billion in 1984. Virtually all
of the 1984 adjustments resulted from
a reconciliation of data reported in
BEA's quarterly survey—the basis of
the estimates presented here—to data
reported in the related annual survey
of foreign direct investment in the
United States. The adjustments reflected the cumulative effect on the
1984 position of numerous small
transactions in prior years that were
either omitted or reported incorrectly
in the quarterly survey; most of the
adjustments corrected for omitted
equity inflows.
By account.—The $18.4 billion increase in the position in 1985 consisted of capital inflows of $17.9 billion
and valuation adjustments of $0.5 billion. Capital inflows consisted of
equity capital inflows of $11.9 billion,
intercompany debt inflows of $4.8 billion, and reinvested earnings of $1.1
billion. (For data on capital flows by
157-584 0 - 86,- 3 : QL 3




account, see table 5 in "U.S. International Transactions, First Quarter
1986," on page 59 of this issue.)
A substantial portion of both the
equity capital and intercompany debt
inflows financed acquisitions of U.S.
businesses by foreign direct investors
or by their existing U.S. affiliates. In
addition, a large equity capital
inflow—over $1 billion—resulted from
the capitalization of intercompany
debt of a U.S. construction affiliate by
its Middle Eastern parent; that inflow
was completely offset by an intercompany debt outflow. Another large
equity capital inflow was from a Canadian parent to its U.S. mining affiliate. The affiliate, which had been unprofitable for several years, used the
funds to reduce debt and, thus, to
lower interest expenses. Partly offsetting these inflows were two sizable
outflows. One resulted from a Netherlands parent's sale of a portion of its
equity in a metals trading affiliate to
U.S. investors; the other resulted
from a Canadian parent's sale of its

minority interest in a U.S. paper
manufacturing operation.
The largest intercompany debt
inflow, other than to finance acquisitions of U.S. companies, was the previously mentioned loan from the British affiliate of the Netherlands parent
that financed an increase in the parents' ownership of its U.S. petroleum
affiliate.
The $1.1 billion in reinvested earnings was more than accounted for by
affiliates in wholesale trade, petroleum, insurance, and banking. Reinvested earnings of affiliates in manufacturing, real estate, retail trade,
and "other industries" were negative;
the negative reinvested earnings resulted because affiliates maintained
earnings distributions in spite of declines in their earnings. In manufacturing, the negative reinvested earnings were more than accounted for by
affiliates in machinery and metals.
By country.—The largest increase in
the position—$5.4 billion—was from

34

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

the United Kingdom. Increases were
largest in manufacturing, petroleum,
and insurance. In manufacturing,
over one-half of the $2.2 billion increase was in chemicals and "other
manufacturing/' In chemicals, a sizable intercompany debt inflow financed the acquisition of a U.S. company. In "other manufacturing," intercompany debt inflows to affiliates
in stone, clay, and glass manufacturing increased sharply. The increase in
petroleum largely reflected the intercompany debt inflow from the British
affiliate of the Netherlands parent
discussed earlier. In insurance, an
equity inflow of over $0.7 billion was
used to acquire a U.S. insurance brokerage company.
The positions of parents in Japan,
Switzerland, the Netherlands, and
Germany also increased substantially.
Almost two-thirds of the increase in
the position of Japanese parents was
in wholesale trade. As in 1984, the increase was largely in the form of reinvested earnings of U.S. affiliates importing Japanese automobiles for sale
in the United States.
Almost all of the increase in the position of Swiss parents was in food
manufacturing. In what was by the
far the largest single inflow from a
parent in any country in 1985, a
Swiss parent made a sizable loan to
its U.S. affiliate. The affiliate used
these funds, together with funds borrowed from U.S. banks, to acquire a
U.S. manufacturer of dairy and other
food products for about $3 billion.
The position of Netherlands parents
increased $2.4 billion. Over one-half of
the increase was in petroleum and
was mainly in the form of reinvested
earnings.
Most of the $2.1 billion increase in
the position of German parents was
in manufacturing, mainly chemicals.
In chemicals, a major German chemical company made a large loan to its
U.S. affiliate to acquire a U.S. maker
of inks and automobile finishes.

the institutional changes in the
market in the past 2 years. To replace
a single index based only on pricing
of 2-year issues used in the past, separate indexes were introduced to reflect differences in maturity holdings
of official and private foreigners. Foreign official holdings are now valued
on the basis of prices of issues with
maturities of 2 years and, to a lesser
extent, of 5-7 years. Foreign private
holdings are now valued on the basis
of prices of issues with maturities out
to 30 years, with heavy weighting
toward long maturities.
The method of valuing U.S. corporate bonds held by foreigners for
yearly price and exchange rate
changes was modified to account for
the proliferation in types of issues
since 1984 and the considerable price
variation among them. To replace a
single domestic U.S. corporate bond
price index used in the past, a price
index was introduced that is based on
five major types of bonds issued
abroad: Straight fixed-rate, floating
rate, zero coupon, convertible, and
foreign currency. Price changes for
each type are based on a sampling of
issues, and price performance of each
type is weighted into a single index
based on each type's proportion of
total holdings. In addition, exchange
rate revaluations for foreign currency
issues was introduced.

Direct investment
For U.S. direct investment abroad,
results of the 1982 benchmark survey,
released in December 1985, have led
to revisions in the 1982-85 estimates
of capital flows, income flows, royalties and license fees, and fees for
other services and in the 1982-84 estimates of the direct investment position. Prior estimates for these years
were based on the 1977 benchmark
survey. A preliminary estimate of the
1985 position is also provided in this
article.

methodology for U.S. direct investment abroad, including basic concepts

adjusted data are then used, together
with data reported in BEA's quarterly
surveys, to derive quarterly and
annual estimates of the direct investment position and balance of payments transactions for subsequent
years, see the technical note in R.
David Belli, "Foreign Direct Investment in the United States in 1983,"
SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS 64 (October 1984): 31-36. Although that
technical note specifically pertains to
the 1980 benchmark survey of foreign
direct investment in the United
States, the procedures discussed also
generally apply to the 1982 benchmark survey of U.S. direct investment
abroad.
In years between benchmark surveys, universe estimates are made by
extrapolating forward the universe
data reported in the most recent
benchmark survey, using data reported in the quarterly sample survey.
Over time, the universe estimates for
a given year may deviate from the
"correct" estimate. The reasons for
revisions in the estimates may fall
into the following general categories:
(1) The nonreported part of the universe for the years between benchmark surveys when only sample data
were available was over- or underestimated; (2) data were incorrectly reported in the sample surveys but correctly reported in the benchmark
survey; (3) the prior and current estimates were based upon different accounting standards; and (4) the reported data used to generate the prior
and current estimates reflected differences in timing. Also, changes in definitions or in direct investment methodology may lead to revisions; however, there were no changes in definition from the prior to current estimates.
In table 5, the prior and current estimates for the position at yearend,
capital flows, income, royalties and license fees, and fees for other services
are compared. The position estimate
for 1982 based on the 1982 benchmark
survey is $14.1 billion less than the
estimate based on the 1977 benchmark survey. Capital outflows are
$2.1 billion higher, income is $1.2 billion lower, royalties and license fees
are $0.3 billion higher, and fees for
other services are $0.6 billion lower
than previously estimated.
The $14.1 billion revision in the position represents a cumulative difference of 6 percent over the 5-year

period.6 Most of the revision represents cumulative unrecorded transactions, largely in reinvested earnings.
Reinvested earnings, which are derived by subtracting distributed earnings from total earnings, were previously overstated because distributed
earnings were underreported on the
quarterly surveys. Although the underreporting may not have been significant for any one year, the cumulative effect of underreporting during
the 5-year period was significant. It
should be noted that a cross-check of
data on distributed earnings from the
quarterly surveys against related data
from BEA's new annual survey of
U.S. direct investment abroad resulted in moderate upward revisions in
BEA's estimates of distributed earnings, and downward revisions in its
estimates of reinvested earnings, for
1983 and 1984 as well.
6. The revision to the position resulted from cumulative, partly offsetting transactions in 1977-82 because of the way the position is calculated. The position for a given year equals the position at the end of
the last benchmark year plus BEA's estimates of subsequent capital outflows and valuation adjustments.
Thus, it provides an estimate of cumulative investment as of a given date. Any errors in the estimates of
the benchmark position or of the subsequent transactions would cause errors in position estimates for the
year in which the error was made and all subsequent
periods. Thus, for the position, errors are cumulative
over time. For the other estimates compared, however,
the effect of errors are not cumulative, because those
estimates represent transactions for a given year.




The 1982 position estimates were
also revised to incorporate changes in
the way companies accounted for exchange gains and losses and for translation adjustments on the quarterly
and benchmark surveys. Some companies followed Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement Number
8 (FASB 8) in completing the quarterly survey but later followed FASB 52
in completing the benchmark survey.7
BEA required that data on both the
quarterly and benchmark surveys be
in conformance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
Under GAAP, the use of FASB 52 was
required for reporting transactions for
calendar or fiscal years beginning on
or after December 15, 1982; for earlier
years, restatements to reflect the use
of FASB 52 were encouraged, but not
required. For 1982, therefore, either
FASB 8 or FASB 52 could properly
have been followed. Some companies
followed FASB 8 in the quarterly
7. Under FASB 52, assets, liabilities, revenues, and
expenses are translated into dollars at current exchange rates. For assets and liabilities, the current exchange rate is the rate in effect at the end of the calendar or fiscal year; for revenues and expenses, it is
the weighted average of exchange rates for the period
covered by the income statement. Under FASB 8, certain assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses are
translated into dollars using an historical exchange
rate—the rate in effect when the asset was initially
acquired or liability incurred.

survey for 1982 but restated their
books and followed FASB 52 in filing
the 1982 benchmark survey. The onetime adjustments to the position that
resulted from restatements were excluded from income and reinvested
earnings and, instead, recorded as
valuation adjustments the position.
The valuation adjustments moderately lowered the estimate of the position.
The $2.1 billion upward revision in
capital outflows consisted of upward
revisions in equity capital outflows
and intercompany debt outflows of
$5.5 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively, partly offset by a downward revision of $5.3 billion in reinvested
earnings. The upward revision in
equity capital outflows and downward
revision in reinvested earnings largely reflected a shifting of items between these two accounts for unincorporated affiliates. Before the second
quarter of 1982, reinvested earnings,
intercompany debt transactions, and
equity capital transactions of unincorporated foreign affiliates were not
separately reported to BEA. Instead,
the sum of transactions in all three
accounts combined was reported to
BEA, and, for the first quarter of
1982, BEA estimated the components.

after a significant tightening of credit

early in the quarter in response to
pressures on their currencies, but fell
thereafter. German and Swiss rates
fell, but not as rapidly as U.S. rates,
and the differentials in both long- and
short-term rates that had favored
U.S. dollar assets narrowed.
The rapid fall in crude oil prices
contributed to the decline in the
dollar. While lower prices were
viewed as favorable to U.S. inflation
and economic growth prospects, concern grew about the impact on the petroleum industry and on banks with
large exposures in energy-related
loans. Lower oil prices also affected
the Canadian dollar and the British
pound by lowering growth prospects
and by reducing exports and government revenues. In contrast, the major
industrial oil importers, such as
Japan and Germany, were viewed as
benefiting, and their currencies
tended to strengthen as oil prices declined.

Despite the convergence, Mexican authorities indicated that the two-tier

meeting. Within the European Monetary System, pressures on existing
parities intensified early in the quarter, and several countries intervened
by selling dollars and German marks
to maintain parity rates. Similar pressures, related to the possibility that
the new government in France would
devalue the franc, built up near the
end of the quarter.
In contrast, the dollar was little
changed against the British pound. At
times, concerns about the impact of
lower oil prices caused the pound and
the U.S. dollar to depreciate in
tandem against other currencies.
The U.S. dollar appreciated 2 percent against the Canadian dollar. Canadian authorities intervened to slow
the movement and tightened monetary conditions early in the quarter.
The U.S. dollar appreciated 6 percent against the Mexican free market

The dollar depreciated most against
the Japanese yen, 9 percent on a
quarterly average basis. The dollar
had depreciated 25 percent by the end
of the quarter from the level prior to
the Group of Five (G-5) meeting in
September, when monetary authorities of those countries agreed to take
joint action to lower the exchange
value of the dollar. Contributing to
the strong rise of the yen in the first
quarter were the large continuing
Japanese current-account surplus, the
favorable impacts on import costs of
weak or declining commodity and oil
prices, and the narrowing of longterm interest rate differentials in
favor of U.S. assets. However, as the
quarter progressed, Japanese authorities expressed concern that the dollar
had fallen too far and too fast, and
the dollar appreciated slightly toward
the end of March amid market concern that intervention or other steps
might be taken to bolster its value.
The dollar also depreciated sharply
against the major continental European currencies, 7 to 8 percent on a
quarterly average basis and 16 to 18
percent from rates prior to the G-5

Merchandise trade
The merchandise trade deficit was
$36.6 billion in the first quarter, down
$0.8 billion from the fourth quarter.
Nonpetroleum
imports
increased
strongly to a record level, but the increase was offset by a sharp drop in
petroleum imports. Nonagricultural
exports increased, and agricultural
exports were unchanged.
Exports increased $0.8 billion, or 2
percent, to $53.5 billion; the increase
was all in volume. Agricultural exports were unchanged at $7.1 billion;
volume fell 4 percent. Agricultural exports continued to be restrained by
competition from other suppliers and
by increased local production, partly
reflecting record or near-record crops
of cotton and grains. However, prices
turned up, the first increase after a
steady 2-year decline that had reduced average prices by 20 percent.

Spain and Portugal acceded to the
European Communities (EC) on January 1. On March 1, in conjunction
with their incorporation into the EC's
Common Agricultural Policy, the two
countries instituted various restrictions on imports of agricultural products, which may further restrain U.S.
exports.
Nonagricultural exports increased
$0.8 billion, or 2 percent, to $46.4 billion; the increase was all in volume.
Industrial supplies and materials increased $0.2 billion to $13.6 billion; an
increase in chemicals was partly
offset by a drop in petroleum and
products. A $0.3 billion increase in
capital goods to $18.9 billion was
widespread except for a small decline
in civilian aircraft. Automotive products decreased $0.2 billion to $5.9 billion due to a drop in shipments to
Canada as production in Canada for
export to the United States was cut
back. Consumer goods increased $0.2
billion to $3.4 billion.
Imports were unchanged at $90.1
billion; volume increased 1 percent.
Petroleum imports decreased $4.1 bil-




1985

lion, or 29 percent, to $10.0 billion;
the decrease was due to a 15-percent
decline in volume to 5.09 million barrels per day and a sharp drop in the
average price per barrel to $21.56
from $26.30. Expectations of lower
prices may have caused U.S. importers to reduce imports temporarily.
World petroleum prices began to fall
rapidly in the fourth quarter; the
actual world average sales price fell
from over $27.00 in the fourth quarter
to about $17.00 by the end of March.
Spot prices fell most sharply; the
price of U.K. Brent crude oil, for example, fell from around $30.00 in November to about $12.00 by the end of
March. Concurrently, crude oil
bought under long-term purchase contracts was increasingly priced using
"netback" arrangements, which link
the export price of crude oil to the
eventual sales price of the products
refined from that oil plus a profit
margin. Netback prices fell through
the first quarter as product prices declined.
Nonpetroleum imports increased
$4.1 billion, or 5 percent, to a record

June 1986

$80.1 billion; the increase was all in
volume and covered all major categories except automotive products,
which declined due to a sharp drop in
passenger cars from Canada.
The increase occurred despite the
substantial drop in the foreign exchange value of the U.S. dollar since
its peak in the first quarter of 1985.
As of the first quarter, the depreciation of the dollar has resulted in only
limited and selective increases in
import prices, as shown in chart 6.
Several factors may explain this price
behavior. First, international commodity prices remain weak. Nonpetroleum commodity prices declined 20
percent on average between early
1984 and late 1985; agricultural
prices, predominantly coffee, turned
up in the fourth quarter, but metals
prices remained low.
Second, the dollar has not depreciated, or has depreciated only slightly,
against the currencies of several
major trading partners, most importantly Canada, Mexico, and the newly
industrialized countries of Asia. Thus,
all U.S. trade should not be expected
to be directly affected by the depreciation of the dollar. Moreover, price
competition from goods imported from
these countries may tend to hold
down prices of similar imports from
countries whose currencies have appreciated against the dollar.
Third, the pricing behavior of foreign exporters may have mitigated
the effects thus far of dollar depreciation. Some foreign exporters may
have reduced profit margins to lessen
price increases to U.S. consumers in
order to maintain their market position.
Finally, the decline in the dollar
has in some cases reduced production
costs of countries exporting to the
United States, particularly major foreign industrial importers of petroleum and other raw materials denominated in U.S. dollars. Japanese wholesale prices, for example, declined at
an annual rate of over 15 percent
during the first quarter.
Service transactions
Net service receipts decreased $2.0
billion to $5.9 billion, mostly due to
an increase in payments of income on
both direct and portfolio investments
in the United States.
Receipts of income on U.S. direct
investment abroad decreased slightly

June 1986

to $10.8 billion. Operating earnings
increased; higher earnings in petroleum were partly related to improved
margins for petroleum refiners in the
EC. Capital gains decreased to $2.2
billion from $3.0 billion.
Payments of income on foreign
direct investment in the United
States increased $1.3 billion to $2.1
billion. Fourth-quarter payments had
been unusually low, reflecting large
operating losses by a petroleum company and a construction company and
a smaller loss by a European manufacturing company. Improved earnings for some of these companies accounted for most of the increase in
the first quarter. There was a shift to
capital gains in the first quarter, following a large capital loss of a petroleum service company in the fourth.
Receipts of income on other private
investment decreased $0.3 billion to
$11.9 billion, as the effects of lower
interest rates and reductions in U.S.
bank claims more than offset that of
increased U.S. holdings of foreign securities. Payments increased $0.5 billion to $9.6 billion; over one-half the
increase was due to interest paid on
foreign holdings of U.S. corporate
bonds.
Receipts on U.S. Government assets
increased $0.2 billion to $1.6 billion;
payments on U.S. Government liabilities increased $0.3 billion to $5.7 billion, mostly due to the continued increase in foreign holdings of U.S.
Treasury bonds.
Net travel and passenger fare payments decreased to $2.2 billion from
$2.4 billion. Receipts from foreign
visitors increased $0.2 billion to $3.1
billion. Increases in expenditures by
visitors from overseas and Canada
were partly offset by a drop in those
from Mexico. Payments by U.S. travelers increased $0.1 billion to $4.3 billion. Automobile travel to Canada and
visits to the Mexican border region increased. An increase in the number of
overseas travelers was partly offset by
slightly lower average expenditures.
Passenger fare receipts were unchanged at $0.8 billion; payments
were down slightly to $1.8 billion.
Other transportation receipts decreased $0.2 billion to $3.5 billion, due
to lower air and ocean port receipts.
Payments decreased $0.3 billion to
$4.0 billion. Freight payments decreased due to the drop in petroleum
imports.

Transfers under U.S. military
agency sales contracts increased $0.2
billion to $2.1 billion, primarily due to
increased shipments to Western
Europe. Direct defense expenditures
abroad decreased $0.1 billion to $3.1
billion.
Unilateral transfers decreased $1.2
billion to $3.0 billion, due to a drop in
U.S. Government grants. In the
fourth quarter, Israel drew its entire
economic support fund grant for the
fiscal year; a small part was returned
in the first quarter.
U.S. assets abroad
U.S. official reserve assets increased
$0.1 billion, compared with $3.1 billion in the fourth quarter, when there
were intervention purchases of foreign currencies. In the first quarter, a
$0.2 billion increase in foreign currencies was due to interest earned on foreign currency holdings. Special drawing rights increased $0.3 billion, and
the U.S. reserve position in the International Monetary Fund decreased
$0.3 billion.
Net U.S. purchases of foreign securities were a record $6.1 billion, compared with $1.4 billion. Stock purchases were a record $2.1 billion as
prices appreciated strongly in most
foreign markets. Over one-half of the

purchases were in Japan, where stock
prices rose 15 percent and the yen's
appreciation continued.
New foreign bond issues in the
United States were $1.9 billion, up
$0.4 billion. Issues were limited to a
small number of top-quality borrowers from Canada, an international organization, and Australia and New
Zealand.
Net purchases of outstanding foreign bonds were $2.8 billion. In the
United Kingdom, there were continuing large purchases of gilt-edge bonds
and additional purchases of non-British bonds. Partly offsetting were large
sales in Japan, as investors realized
price and exchange rate gains.
U.S. claims on foreigners reported
by U.S. banks decreased $7.8 billion,
in contrast to an $8.5 billion increase.
Claims of U.S.-owned banks on their
own offices decreased $6.1 billion,
mostly due to a reversal of large yearend outflows. Foreign-owned banks in
the United States increased claims on
their foreign offices by $5.7 billion.
Claims of foreign-owned banks on

were tightened and short-term Japanese rates rose sharply, but the increase slowed in the first quarter as

States were $1.3 billion, the smallest
increase in 8 years. Equity capital inflows were $0.3 billion; outflows to
Europe reflected the repurchase by a
U.S. company of its stock from its foreign parent and the return by another U.S. company of a capital contribution. There were no major acquisitions of U.S. companies by foreigners. Intercompany debt inflows were
$0.6 billion, primarily from Japan and
Canada. Reinvested earnings shifted
to an increase reflecting higher reported earnings after an exceptionally
low fourth quarter.

nature of dues payments" has not
necessarily weakened, increased difficulty in separating these transactions
from "charitable contributions" to the
many international programs in
which the United States participates
makes the change in treatment desirable on pragmatic grounds. The
change also brings the treatment into
conformity with international guidelines for balance of payments reporting established by the International
Monetary Fund.
Other transportation accounts.—
Other transportation receipts and
payments (table 1, lines 6 and 21, respectively) have been revised for
1983-85 to reflect recalculations of
merchandise imports that were introduced in December 1985. These recalculations recorded more correctly the
arrival dates of waterborne imports;
associated tonnage data were used in
preparation of the other transportation estimates.
Direct investment accounts.—For
the years 1982-85, estimates for the
U.S. direct investment abroad accounts (lines 7, 9, 12, and 46 of tables
1, 2, and 10, and lines 1-36 of table 5)
have been revised to incorporate the
results of the 1982 benchmark survey
of U.S. direct investment abroad. Previously, estimates were based on the
1977 benchmark survey.
For income (line 12), royalties and
license fees (line 7), and fees for other
services (line 9), the revisions were
relatively small in most years. For
capital outflows, the revisions were
more sizable, particularly for 1982
and 1983.
The reasons for the revisions were:
(1) The nonreported part of the universe for the years between benchmark surveys when only sample data
were available was over- or underestimated; (2) data were incorrectly reported in the sample surveys but correctly reported in the benchmark
survey; (3) the prior and current estimates were based upon different accounting standards; and (4) the reported data used to generate the prior
and current estimates reflected differences in timing. There were no
changes in definition from the prior
to the current estimates. For a more
detailed discussion of the reasons for
the revisions, see the technical note
in "The International Investment Position of the United States in 1985,"
in this issue of the SURVEY.

Footnotes to U.S. International Transactions Tables 1-1 Oa
General notes for all tables: p 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; increase in foreign official assets in the United States.
Debits, -: Imports of goods and services, unilateral transfers to foreigners; capital outflows
(decrease in foreign assets (U.S. liabilities) or increase in U.S. assets); increase in U.S. official reserve assets; decrease in foreign offical assets in the United States.
2. Excludes transfers of goods and services under U.S. military grant programs (see line 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. Beginning in 1982, line 7 and line 22 are redefined to include only net receipts and payments
for the use or sale of intangible property rights, including patents, industrial processes, trademarks, copyrights, franchises, designs, know-how, formulas, techniques, and manufacturing
rights. Other direct investment services, net, which include fees for management, professional,
and technical services, charges for the use of tangible property, film and television tape rentals,
and all other charges and fees are shown in line 9 and line 24. Data on the redefined basis are not
separately available prior to 1982.
5. For all areas, amounts outstanding March 31, 1985, were as follows in millions of dollars:
Line 36, 44,918; line 37, 11,090; line 38, 7,839; line 39, 12,025; line 40, 13,965.
6. Includes sales of foreign obligations to foreigners.
7. Consists of bills, certificates, marketable bonds and notes, and nonmarketable covertible and
nonconvertible bonds and notes.
8. Consists of U.S. Treasury and Export-Import Bank obligations, not included elsewhere, and
of debt securities of U.S. Government corporations and agencies.
9. Includes, primarily, U.S. Government liabilities associated with military agency sales contracts and other transactions arranged with or through foreign official agencies; see table 4.
10. Consists of investments in U.S. corporate stocks and in debt securities of private corporations and State and local governments.
11. 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 on direct investment in the United States, and (c) includes an adjustment for
the different geographical treatment of transactions with U.S. territories and Puerto Rico, and (d)
includes an adjustment for services furnished without payment by financial intermediaries,
except life insurance carriers. In addition, for NIPA purposes, U.S. Government interest payments to foreigners are excluded from "net exports of goods and services" but included with
transfers in "net foreign investment." A reconciliation table of the international accounts and
the NIPA foreign transactions account appears in the "Reconciliation and Other Special Tables"
section in this issue of the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS.
12. Includes return import into the United States, at a depreciated value of $21 million in 1972IV and $22 million in 1973-11, of aircraft originally reported in 1970-III in line 3 as a long-term
lease to Australia.
13. Includes extraordinary U.S. Government transactions with India. See "Special U.S. Government Transactions," June 1974 SURVEY, p. 27.
14. Includes foreign currency denominated notes sold to private residents abroad. See table 9,
line B5, footnote 4.
Table 2:
For footnotes 1-11, see table 1.
12. See footnote 14 to table 1.
TableS:
1. Exports, Census basis, represent transaction values, f.a.s. U.S. port of exportation, for all
years; imports, Census basis, represent transactions 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). From 1983 forward, both unadjusted and seasonally adjusted data
have been prepared by BEA from "actual" and "revised statistical" month data supplied by the
Census Bureau (see Technical Notes, December 1985 SURVEY). The seasonally adjusted data are
the summation of seasonally adjusted 4-digit end-use categories (see Technical Notes in the June
1980 SURVEY). Prior to 1983, annual data are published by the Census Bureau, except that for
1975-1980 published Census data adjusted to include trade between the U.S. Virgin Islands and
foreign countries.
2. Adjustments in lines A5 and A13, 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 are 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
A14), 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); imports are
included in tables 1, 2, and 10, line 18 (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.-pwned grains in storage in Canada; for 1975-1982, net timing adjustments for goods recorded in Census data in one period but found to have been shippped in another; and coverage
adjustments for special situations in which shipments were omitted from Census data.
5. 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 21 (other transportation); deduction of imports from
Panama Canal Zone before October 1, 1979; for 1975-1982, 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.
6. Annual and unadjusted quarterly data shown in this table correspond to country and area
data in table 10, lines 2 and 17. Trade,with international organizations includes purchases of nonmonetary gold from the 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
^ graphic area detail was not available for some balance of payments adjustments. Therefore,
the detail shown does not always sum to the values shown for the area aggregates. For all years,
"Asia" and "Africa" exclude certain Pacific Islands and unidentified countries included in "Other
countries in Asia and Africa."
7. 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.
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 lines 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.

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
are almost always guaranteed by the establishing U.S. parent and are often convertible 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
10.

12. Details not shown separately are included in line 63.
NOTE.—Country data are based on information available from U.S. reporting sources. In some
instances the statistics may not necessarily reflect the ultimate foreign transactor. For instance:
U.S. export statistics reflect country of reported destination; in many cases the exports may be
transshipped to third countries (especially true for the Netherlands and Germany). The geographic breakdown of security transactions reflects country with which transaction occurred but may
not necessarily reflect the ultimate sources of foreign funds or ultimate destination of U.S. funds.
Data for individual countries within EC(6) may not add to the published totals for EC(6) since in
several 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.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

June 1986

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 fixed-weighted constant-dollar inventory-sales ratios, i.e., ratios
obtained by weighting detailed industry ratios by 1982 sales. Table 5 pre-

sents quarterly and monthly inventories for manufacturing by stage of
fabrication. Quarterly estimates beginning in 1976 and monthly estimates for 1985 were published in the February 1986 SURVEY OF CURRENT
BUSINESS.

as a small amount of demand deposits at thrift institutions that cannot, using present data
sources, be separated from interest-earning checkable deposits.
M2.—This measure adds to Ml overnight repurchase agreements (RP's) issued by commercial banks and certain overnight Eurodollars (those issued by Caribbean branches of
member banks) held by U.S. nonbank residents, money market mutual fund shares, and
savings and small-denomination time deposits (those issued in denominations of less than
$100,000) at all depository institutions. Depository institutions are commercial banks (including U.S. agencies and branches of foreign banks, Edge Act corporations, and foreign investment
companies), mutual savings banks, savings and loan associations, and credit unions.
M3.—This measure equals M2 plus large-denomination time deposits (those issued in denominations of $100,000 or more) at all depository institutions (including negotiable CD's) plus
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
other Eurodollar holdings of U.S. nonbank residents, bankers acceptances, commercial
paper, savings bonds, and marketable liquid Treasury obligations.
$$ Includes ATS and NOW balances at all depository institutions, credit union share
draft balances, and demand deposits at thrift institutions.
O Overnight (and continuing contract) RP's are those issued by commercial banks to the
nonbank public, and overnight Eurodollars are those issued by Caribbean branches of member
banks to U.S. nonbank customers.
@ Small time deposits are those issued in amounts of less than $100,000. Large time
deposits are those issued in amounts of $100,000 or more and are net of the holdings of
domestic banks, thrift institutions, the U.S. Government, money market mutual funds, and
foreign banks and official institutions.

New
Sources: Motor Vehicle Manufacturers Association of the United
States; data seasonally adjusted by U.S. Department of Commerce,
Bureau of Economic Analysis.
The new series for retail sales of trucks and buses, first shown in this
issue of the SURVEY, are similar to those shown in previous issues; however, there are some differences. The new series exclude captive imports




(vehicles manufactured overseas by U.S. affiliates) and are, therefore,
more closely related to domestic production. Passenger vans are included
beginning with January 1971, rather than January 1980. Also, the
weight classes are different; the new classes are those used by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics for the Producer Price Indexes. The new
series for tracks and buses are those used in the estimates of GNP.
