NOTE,—This issue of the SUKVET went to the printer on July 11,198$, It incorporates
data from the following monthly BEA news releases:
Gross National Product (June 23),
Personal Income and Outlays (June 24), and
Composite Indexes of Leading, Coincident, and Lagging
Indicators (June 29).

the BUSINESS SITUATION
Corporate Profits
ROFITS from current production
declined $2 billion in the first quarter
of 1988 after a similar decline in the
fourth quarter of 1987. Despite these
two declines, profits in the first quarter were $17 billion higher than a
year earlier.
The first-quarter decline resulted
from a sharp drop in profits from the
rest of the world (ROW) that was not
quite offset by an increase in domestic
profits. ROW profits plummeted $12
billion in the first quarter after an increase of about one-half that size in
the preceding quarter; domestic profits, which also reversed direction, increased $10 billion after a decline of
$9 billion. Relative to year-earlier
levels, ROW profits were down $6 billion while domestic profits were up
$23 billion.
The $12 billion first-quarter drop in
ROW profits reflected a $1 billion decline in profits of U.S.-owned corporations abroad and an $11 billion increase in profits of foreign-owned corporations in the United States. Usually profits of foreign-owned corporations do not affect national profits because they enter domestic profits as a
positive and enter ROW profits as a
negative. However, as explained in
detail in the May "Business Situation/' profits of foreign-owned corporations did affect national profits in
the first quarter because the measure
included as a positive in domestic
profits was smaller than the measure
included as a negative in ROW profits. In ROW profits, profits of foreignowned corporations are based on financial accounting standards; about
one-third of the sharp increase in the
profits of foreign-owned corporations
reflected a change in one of these




standards. In domestic profits, in contrast, profits of foreign-owned (as well
as U.S.-owned) corporations are based
on tax accounting rules; thus changes
in financial accounting standards
should have no effect.
Profits from current production
equals profits before tax (PBT) plus
the inventory valuation adjustment
(IVA) and the capital consumption adjustment (CCAdj). PBT declined $4
billion in the first quarter, following
an increase of $x/2 billion, yet was
$24 Vk billion higher than a year earlier. Inventory profits—the IVA with
sign reversed—declined $5 billion because inventory price inflation
slowed. The CCAdj—the difference between depreciation based on tax accounting and economic depreciation
as estimated by BEA—declined $3 billion in the first quarter, reflecting the
less liberal depreciation rules in the
Tax Reform Act of 1986.
Domestic profits by industry.—Quarterly estimates of the CCAdj are not
available by industry. PBT with IVA
alone—i.e., PBT less inventory profits—is the best available quarterly
measure of profits. For domestic in-

dustries, this measure of profits increased $12x/2 billion in the first quarter after a decline of $10 billion in the
preceding quarter; profits of nonfinancial corporations dominated these
changes, increasing $12 billion after a
decline of $8V2 billion.
Manufacturing profits increased $8
billion after declining the same
amount in the preceding quarter.
Within manufacturing, first-quarter
increases were widespread; only profits in petroleum refining declined.
Trade profits, which increased $5
billion after a $3V2 billion decline,
have been erratic for some time. Profits have failed to register movements
in the same direction in two consecutive quarters since mid-1985 in retail
trade and since mid-1984 in wholesale
trade, so that undue weight should
not be attached to a single quarter's
movement. A better indication of
trends can be obtained by averaging
profits in one quarter with profits in
the preceding quarter. Retail trade
profits smoothed in this way have not
increased for seven quarters, and the
level in the first quarter of 1988 was
$4 billion lower than in the second
quarter of 1986. Smoothed profits in
wholesale trade increased in five of

• Annual Revisions of the National Income and Product Accounts. Revised estimates will be presented in the July SURVEY. The revisions cover
the 3-year period beginning with the first quarter of 1985.
• Conference Presentations of New Economic Data. Papers and discussion from the "New Horizons in Data Sets" sessions from last May's 50th
Anniversary Jubilee of the Conference on Research in Income and
Wealth will appear in a fall issue of the SURVEY. The "new horizons"
papers present new economic data from U.S. statistical agencies and from
Statistics Canada that will be useful for analytical purposes.

the seven quarters, and the level in
the first quarter of 1988 was $3% billion higher than in the second quarter of 1986.
Profits of financial corporations increased
$1 billion after a decline of
$11/2 billion. Current net earnings of




Federal Reserve banks, which are
treated as corporate profits in the
NIPA's, more than accounted for the
increase. For depository institutions,
profits were unchanged after declining $1V2 billion in the preceding quarter; savings and loan associations reg-

istered losses for the second consecutive quarter.
Table 1 on page 16 shows the
second revision of the NIPA estimates
for the first quarter of 1988.

Statistical Conventions Used for NIPA Estimates
Most of the estimates are presented
in billions of dollars. The major exceptions are certain current-dollar
annual estimates, which are presented in millions of dollars, and estimates presented as index numbers.
Current-dollar estimates are valued in
the prices of the period in which the
transaction takes place. Constantdollar estimates are valued in the
prices of a period designated the base
period (at present, 1982), thus removing price change from any period-toperiod movement in the series. The
designation of 1982 as the base period
also means that price levels in 1982
are set equal to 100 in calculating
price indexes and implicit price deflators.
For quarters and months, the estimates (except price indexes) are presented at annual rates. Annual rates
show values for a quarter or a month
at their annual equivalent (that is,
the value that would be registered if
the rate of activity measured for a
month or a quarter were maintained
for a full year). Annual rates make it
easier to compare values for time periods of different lengths—for example, quarters and years.

The percent changes shown in table
8.1 are also at annual rates and are
calculated from the published quarterly estimates, which are rounded to
the nearest one-tenth of a billion dollars. The annual rates for quarterly
percent changes are calculated with
the formula:
x 100,

where r = the percent change at an
annual rate, and Qt and Qt-i = the
quarterly estimates for a quarter and
the preceding quarter, respectively.
Quarterly and monthly NIPA estimates are seasonally adjusted, if necessary. Seasonal adjustment removes
from the time series the average
impact of variations that normally
occur at about the same time and in
about the same magnitude each
year—for example, weather, holidays,
and tax payment dates. The statistical
procedures used are based on historical experience; the Census Bureau's
X-ll program is widely used. After
seasonal adjustment, cyclical and
other short-term changes in the economy stand out more clearly.

National Income and Product Accounts Tables
Selected NIPA Tables
New estimates in this issue: First quarter 1988, revised (0The selected set of 52 national income and product accounts (NIPA) tables shown in this section presents quarterly estimates, which are
updated monthly. (In most of these tables, annual estimates are also shown.) The full set of 130 tables usually shown in July presents annual
NIPA revisions. For more information on the presentation of the estimates, see "National Income and Product Accounts Estimates: When They
are Released, Where They Are Available, and How They Are Presented" in the January 1988 SURVEY.
The full set of estimates for 1984-86 is in the July 1987 issue of the SURVEY; estimates for 1983 are in the July 1986 issue. Estimates for
1929-82 are in National Income and Product Accounts, 1929-82: Statistical Tables (GPO Stock No. 003-010-00174-7, price $23.00). These publications are available from the Superintendent of Documents; see address on inside front cover.
The full set of NIPA tables is available on diskette for $240 per year (12 updates, for the quarterly estimates prepared each month). For
more information, write to the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BE-54), U.S. Department of Commerce, Washington, DC 20230.

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 and 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.

By EUGENE P. SESKIN and DAVID F. SULLIVAN

Plant and Equipment Expenditures,
the Four Quarters of 1988
The latest estimate of planned spending plans for the remainder of
spending for 1988 is $7.3 billion 1988 were revised up. The previous
higher than that reported in April for survey showed planned spending of
the survey conducted in January $423.0 billion for 2 1988, 8.8 percent
through March. Although first-quar- more than in 1987.
Real spending—capital spending adter spending was lower than planned,
justed to remove price changes—is estimated to increase 11.9 percent in
The estimates presented are universe totals of do1988; in the previous survey, an 8.0mestic P&E expenditures for all industries surveyed
quarterly, which account for nearly 90 percent of cappercent increase was estimated. Real
ital spending by U.S. nonfarm business. Sample data
spending increased 1.7 percent in
are compiled from reports on a company basis, not
1987, following a decline of 2.6 perfrom separate reports for plants or establishments. A
company's capital expenditures are assigned to a
cent in 1986 (tables 2 and 3). Estisingle industry in accordance with the industry classimates of real spending are calculated
fication of the company's principal product or service.

BUSINESS plans to spend $430.2
billion for new plant and equipment
(P&E) in 1988, 10.7 percent more than
in 1987, according to the BEA survey
conducted in April and May (tables 1
and 2, and chart I).1 Spending was
$388.6 billion in 1987, 2.4 percent
more than in 1986.
1. The survey covers expenditures for new facilities
and for repair, 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 that are not capitalized; 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.

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.

Table 1.—New Plant and Equipment Expenditures by Business
[Percent change from preceding year]
Actual

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, 1988 planned spending was
$424.13 billion for "all industries," $168.55 billion for
manufacturing, and $255.58 billion for nonmanufacturing industries surveyed quarterly.

1. Estimates are based on planned capital expenditures reported by business in April and May
1988. The planned expenditures are adjusted for systematic biases in reporting. The adjustment
procedures are described in the February 1985 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS. Before bias adjustment, current-dollar plans for 1988 were $424.13 billion for "all industries," $168.55 billion for
manufacturing, and $255.58 billion for nonmanufacturing industries surveyed quarterly.
2. Surveyed quarterly.
3. Includes industries not shown separately.
4. Consists of lumber, furniture, instruments, and miscellaneous.
5. Consists of tobacco, apparel, printing-publishing, and leather.
6. Includes construction.
7. The latest estimates for the industries surveyed annually are based on data reported by busi-




ness in January through March 1988. The current-dollar plans for 1988 were $477.12 billion for
total nonfarm business, $317.44 billion for total nonmanufacturing, and $54.16 billion for nonmanufacturing industries surveyed annually. The constant-dollar plans for 1988 were $475.38 billion for total nonfarm business, $313.53 billion for total nonmanufacturing, and $55.46 billion for
nonmanufacturing industries surveyed annually.
8. "All industries" plus the part of nonmanufacturing that is surveyed annually.
9. Consists of real estate; professional services; membership organizations and social services;
and forestry, fisheries, and agricultural services.
10. Procedures for preparing constant-dollar estimates are described in the February 1985
SURVEY. To estimate real spending plans, BEA adjusts the survey results for assumed price
changes. Estimates for the fourth quarter and the year 1987 have been revised.

from survey data on current-dollar
spending and from estimated capital
goods price deflators developed by
BEA.3 The capital goods deflator for
"all industries'7 is projected by BEA
to decline 1.1 percent in 1988; the deflator increased 0.7 percent in 1987
and 0.6 percent in 1986.
The latest estimates indicate a
larger upward revision in planned
real spending than in planned current-dollar spending because of
changes in the capital goods price deflator for "all industries/' The projected decline in the deflator contrasts
with the 0.8-percent increase reported
in April because the four quarters on
which the latest projection is based
now incorporate a decline in the deflator in the first quarter of 1988,
rather than an increase in the first
quarter of 1987. If the previously projected deflator were used to adjust the
latest survey results, a 9.9-percent increase in real spending would be indicated for 1988.
Current-dollar spending in the first
quarter of 1988 increased 0.1 percent,
to an annual rate of $409.7 billion, following a 4.1-percent increase in the
fourth quarter of 1987. First-quarter
spending was 3.1 percent lower than
anticipated in the previous survey.
Plans reported in the latest survey indicate a 4.7-percent increase in the
second quarter of 1988, a 2.1-percent
increase in the third, and a 1.3-percent increase in the fourth.

3. Specifically, the current-dollar figures reported by
survey respondents are adjusted using implicit price
deflators developed for each industry from unpublished detail on current- and constant-dollar nonresidential fixed investment in the national income and
product accounts. To estimate real spending, the implicit price deflator for each industry is projected
using the deflator's growth over the latest four quarters for which it is available.




Real spending increased 1.0 percent
in the first quarter of 1988, following
a 3.8-percent increase in the fourth
quarter of 1987. Estimates indicate a
4.8-percent increase in the second
quarter of 1988, a 2.2-percent increase
in the third, and a 1.8-percent increase in the fourth.
The small increase in capital spending in the first quarter of 1988 and
the upward revision in 1988 spending
plans occurred when indicators of
future investment activity were generally improving. In the first quarter,
both new orders of durable goods and
new orders of nondefense capital
goods increased for the fourth consecutive quarter. Real final sales of
GNP, both including and excluding
transactions of the Commodity Credit
Corporation, also increased in the
first quarter, following little change
in the fourth quarter of 1987. Manufacturing capacity utilization increased for the sixth consecutive
quarter, to its highest level since the
first quarter of 1980. Several indicators of corporate ability to finance
capital expenditures, including domestic corporate profits (both before and
after tax) and domestic corporate net
cash flow, also increased in the first
quarter, following declines in the
fourth quarter of 1987. In addition, interest rates as measured by Moody's
corporate bond yield declined, following three consecutive quarterly increases.

Manufacturing Programs
In manufacturing, current-dollar
spending increased 3.2 percent in the
first quarter of 1988, to an annual
rate of $157.8 billion, following a 3.6percent increase in the fourth quarter
of 1987. Durable goods increased 3.7

21

percent in the first quarter of 1988,
and nondurables increased 2.8 percent. Manufacturers plan a 3.2-percent increase in the second quarter, a
1.8-percent increase in the third, and
little change in the fourth.
For the year 1988, manufacturers
plan to spend $163.0 billion, 12.1 percent more than in 1987; in the previous survey, a planned increase of 9.8
percent was reported. Manufacturers'
spending increased 1.9 percent in
1987, following a 7.0-percent decline
in 1986.
Durable goods industries plan a 9.5percent increase for 1988; the largest
planned increases are in blast furnaces-steel works, nonferrous metals,
and electrical machinery. Large increases are also planned in "other durables," machinery (except electrical),
and stone-clay-glass. Smaller increases are planned in fabricated
metals and aircraft. A 4.0-percent decline is planned in motor vehicles.
Nondurable goods industries plan a
14.5-percent increase for 1988; the
largest planned increase is in paper.
Large increases are also planned in
"other nondurables," food-beverage,
chemicals, petroleum, rubber, and
textiles.
Real spending by manufacturers is
estimated to increase 12.9 percent for
1988—11.6 percent in durables and
14.2 percent in nondurables. In 1987,
real spending increased 1.1 percent—
2.1 percent in durables and 0.2 percent in nondurables.

Nonmanufacturing Programs
In nonmanufacturing, currentdollar spending declined 1.8 percent
in the first quarter of 1988, to an
annual rate of $251.9 billion, following a 4.5-percent increase in the
fourth quarter of 1987. Nonmanufacturing industries plan a 5.7-percent
increase in the second quarter of
1988, a 2.4-percent increase in the
third, and a 2.1-percent increase in
the fourth.
For the year 1988, nonmanufacturing industries plan to spend $267.2
billion, 9.9 percent more than in 1987;
in the previous survey, a planned increase of 8.3 percent was reported.
Nonmanufacturing industries' spending increased 2.7 percent in 1987, following a 1.3-percent increase in 1986.
For 1988, the largest planned increases are in air transportation, railroads, and "commercial and other."

22
Large increases are also planned in
mining, "other transportation," and
gas utilities; a smaller increase is
planned in electric utilities.




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

June 1988

Real spending by nonmanufacturing industries is estimated to increase
11.3 percent in 1988; it increased 2.0
percent in 1987. For 1988, the largest

increases are estimated in "commercial and other" and transportation;
smaller increases are estimated in
mining and public utilities.

New plant and equipment expenditures shown in the table below are based on the survey conducted in January through March 1988 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
1988 SURVEY OF CUBRENT BUSINESS.) For the industries surveyed quarterly, the estimates of planned
spending for 1988 shown below differ from those shown in the preceding article, which are based on
the survey conducted in April and May 1988.
The nonmanufacturing industries surveyed only annually account for about 11 ^2 percent of capital spending by total nonfarm business. Current-dollar spending for the annual-only industries
increased 6.8 percent in 1987; spending for new plant increased 8.0 percent and spending for new
equipment increased 4.5 percent. Estimates based on the January—March survey indicate a 6.2percent increase in planned spending for 1988, somewhat smaller than the 8.3-percent increase
planned by nonmanufacturing industries surveyed quarterly.

and in goods-producing industries,
projected growth is 6.3 percentage

The offset is partial because the

continuing strength of the service
economy. In addition, projected and
measured growth were Jbased on dif-2
ferent concepts of self-employment.
The difference in concept contributed
to shortfalls between the projected
and the measured growth of self-employment, mainly in the real estate,
personal services, business services,
and miscellaneous repair services industries. Goods-producing employment, in contrast, was overprojected
because the projections did not fully
anticipate the employment effects of
declines in farm and energy prices
and the uncharacteristically slow recovery of durable goods manufacturing from the 1981-82 recession.
The industrial patterns of underprojection and overprojection have
different effects on regions, inasmuch
as regions' industry specializations
differ. In general, the underprojection
of service-type employment, while affecting all regions, most affects regions along the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts (including the part of the
Southeast region on the Atlantic
coast), and the overprojection of
2. The 1986 comprehensive revisions to the State
personal income series (see the August 1986 SURVEY
OF CURRENT BUSINESS) introduced a job count measure
of self-employment. In 1985, when the projections
were published, self-employment was mainly a count
of persons. The person count measure is lower than
the job count measure because of multiple job holding.




NOTE.—Negative differences indicate underprojections, and positive differences indicate overprojections. Within the service-type group, the industries are listed from left to right by size of
underprojection, and within the goods-producing group, the industries are listed from left to right
by size of overprojection.

goods-producing employment most affects interior regions (including the
other States in the Southeast region).
Coastal regions.—Unexpectedly, employment growth in service-type industries and construction far exceeded growth in other industries during
the recovery from the 1981-82 recession; in each coastal region, projected
employment growth in these industries—and in the all-industry total—
fell substantially short of measured
growth. In the Far West and coastal
Southeast, the national defense buildup early in the expansion benefited
research and development and other
services as well as construction. The
national defense buildup also benefited New England and the Mideast. In
addition, these regions provided business and professional services to
growing national and international
markets, and the gains in these service industries stimulated construction
activity. (New England and the Mideast had not participated in the late
1970's construction boom, which had
been centered in interior regions,
where sharp price increases for farm
commodities and oil stimulated
growth.)
In the Mideast, despite the large
underprojections
of employment
growth in service-type industries and

construction,
total
employment
growth was underprojected less than
in any other coastal region. The
major reason was a partly offsetting,
large overprojection of employment
growth in durables manufacturing.
The overprojection for Pennsylvania,
in particular, reflected the failure of
the primary metals (steel) industry to
recover from the 1980 and 1981-82 recessions in the face of import competition.
Interior regions.—Largely reflecting
unexpected developments in goodsproducing industries, the Rocky
Mountain, Southwest, and interior
Southeast regions show overprojections of total employment growth, and
the Plains and Great Lakes regions
show relatively small underprojections.
In the Rocky Mountain and Southwest regions, total employment, projected to grow faster than in the
Nation in 1983-86, grew more slowly.
The overprojections were mainly due

U.S. International Transactions, First Quarter 1988
1 HE U.S. current-account deficit increased to $39.8 billion in the first
quarter of 1988 from $33.5 billion in
the fourth quarter of 1987.l The increase was more than accounted for
by a $12.7 billion shift in the net services balance to a deficit of $0.7 billion
from an unusually high fourth-quarter surplus of $12.0 billion. The shift
1. Quarterly estimates for U.S. current- and capitalaccount components are seasonally adjusted when statistically significant seasonal patterns are present.

$41.2 billion, as a strong increase in
exports exceeded the increase in imports. Net unilateral transfers decreased $1.2 billion to $3.2 billion.
A large increase in foreign official
assets in the United States mostly
reflected placement of dollars in the
United States by foreign monetary authorities. U.S. official reserve assets
decreased.
In the private capital accounts,
large reductions in both U.S. bank
claims on foreigners and U.S. liabil-

was primarily due to changes in
direct investment income transactions. Receipts of income on U.S.
direct investment abroad were sharply lower due to a substantial reduction in capital gains from currency
translation; payments of income on
foreign direct investment in the
United States were higher due to a
shift from capital losses to small gains
and a change in a financial accounting standard. The merchandise trade
deficit decreased to $35.9 billion from

private foreigners increased strongly,
partly reflecting rising bond prices
and the relative stability of the dollar
during the quarter. There was a shift
to net foreign purchases of other U.S.

securities after a record selloff in the
fourth quarter. Net U.S. purchases of
foreign securities increased.
Outflows for U.S. direct investment
abroad decreased sharply, mostly because smaller capital gains resulted
in lower reinvested earnings. Inflows
for foreign direct investment in the
United States slowed somewhat but
remained strong.
The statistical discrepancy (errors
and omissions in reported transactions) was an inflow of $3.0 billion,
following an inflow of $16.3 billion.
Technical notes, which follow the
text, describe revisions to the estimates of U.S. international transactions, including changes to the enduse classification system for merchandise trade.

U.S. dollar in exchange markets
In the first quarter, the U.S. dollar
depreciated 2 percent on a tradeweighted quarterly average basis
against the currencies of 10 industrial
countries, but appreciated 6 percent
against the currencies of 22 OECD
countries. This relative stability was
in contrast to the dollar's sharp depreciation in the fourth quarter.
The dollar began the quarter at historic lows against many major currencies. It sharply appreciated early in
the quarter, partly due to concerted
intervention purchases of U.S. dollars
and to interest rate reductions in several European countries. Also, in midJanuary, a joint United States-Japanese statement pledged support adequate to maintain stability between
the dollar and yen.
From mid-January until midMarch, the dollar was essentially
stable against the yen and the Euro-

pean Monetary System (EMS) currencies, but depreciated against the currencies of several countries with
robust growth and high interest rates.
The Canadian dollar was particularly
attractive for these reasons and rose
against the U.S. dollar despite extensive intervention by Canadian authorities. The British pound was also
attractive for these reasons and because of indications that British authorities would not intervene to prevent some appreciation of the pound
relative to the mark and other EMS
currencies. The pound appreciated
nearly 7 percent against the dollar between mid-February and mid-March,
before a drop in U.K. interest rates
and intervention sales of pounds by
British authorities (mostly against the
mark) began to slow the rise in the
pound.
Depreciation of the dollar against
the yen resumed during the last 2
weeks of the quarter, possibly because
Japanese corporations sold dollars in
preparation for their end-of-fiseal-year
accounting.
On a quarterly average basis, the
dollar depreciated 6 percent against
the Japanese yen, 3 percent against
the Canadian dollar and British
pound, and 1 to 2 percent against the
EMS currencies.
Merchandise trade
The merchandise trade deficit decreased to $35.9 billion in the first

Exports.—Exports increased $6.7
billion, or 10 percent, to $74.7 billion;
volume increased 8 percent. Both agricultural and nonagricultural exports increased. Spurred by the cumulative effect of the depreciation of the
U.S. dollar, which has sharply lowered the foreign currency cost of U.S.
exports, exports have increased 31
percent in value and 28 percent in
volume since the first quarter of 1987.
The share of U.S. goods production
that is exported has increased to a
record 18.8 percent from 15.9 percent
in the first quarter of 1987.
The values and volumes of all
major end-use categories have increased during the past year (charts 3
and 4 ). The similarity between the
value and volume patterns since the
first quarter of 1987 indicates that
commodity export prices have been
relatively stable over the period. This
stability suggests that U.S. exporters
in general have taken advantage of
the depreciation of the dollar to build
export volume and market share
abroad rather than to increase profit
margins on exported goods. The exceptions to the general picture of
price stability are in industrial supplies and materials excluding nonmonetary gold, where rising prices in
commodity markets worldwide have
contributed to higher U.S. export
prices, and in computers and other
office and business machines, where
rapid improvements in productivity
and technology have contributed to
price decreases.
Agricultural exports increased $1.4
billion, or 18 percent, to $9.0 billion;
volume increased 14 percent. Wheat
increased $0.4 billion to $1.3 billion;
the increase was entirely in shipments to the Soviet Union under a
U.S. export promotion program. Since
the first quarter of 1987, wheat exports have doubled; two-thirds of the
increase has been accounted for by
the Soviet Union. Corn increased $0.2
billion, and soybeans, $0.1 billion. Industrial supplies and materials increased $0.3 billion, led by a $0.2 billion increase in tobacco.
Nonagricultural exports increased
$5.3 billion, or 9 percent, to a record
$65.7 billion; volume increased 8 percent. Industrial supplies and materi-

June 1988

als increased $2.5 billion to $19.4 billion. The increase was broadly based;
an exception was a small decrease in
fuels and lubricants. Nonmonetary
gold increased $1.0 billion to $1.9 billion. Continuing purchases by Taiwan
accounted for most of the increase;
several other Southeast Asian countries made smaller purchases.
Capital goods increased $2.3 billion
to $26.4 billion. The broadly based increase was led by computers and peripheral equipment, up $0.6 billion,
and civilian aircraft, up $0.4 billion.
Automotive products decreased
slightly to $7.6 billion. Exports to
Canada remained strong, but were
$0.3 billion less than the record shipments of $5.7 billion in the fourth
quarter. Recent strength in exports of
complete cars to Canada may reflect
both the strength of the Canadian
economy and some shift in Canadian
imports from more expensive Japanese cars. Exports to other areas increased $0.3 billion to a record $2.2
billion.
Consumer goods increased $0.5 billion to $5.3 billion. Durables increased
15 percent^ and nondurables, 7 percent.
Imports.—Imports increased $1.4
billion, or 1 percent, to $110.6 billion;
volume increased 1 percent. Nonpetroleum imports increased, and petroleum imports decreased.
Import volume increases have
slowed in recent quarters (charts 5
and 6). Volume increases have been
held down by the increased dollar cost
of imports and, for consumption-oriented imports, by stable real consumer demand, as measured by personal consumption expenditures for
goods in constant (1982) dollars. The
share of imports in real gross domestic purchases excluding services was
20.7 percent in the first quarter, virtually unchanged over the last three
quarters. Price increases have continued to push import values higher.
Nonpetroleum imports increased
$2.7 billion, or 3 percent, to a record
$100.6 billion; volume increased less
than 1 percent. Industrial supplies
and materials increased $1.5 billion to
$21.4 billion. Much of the large
amount of nonmonetary gold imported during the last two quarters was
subsequently exported to Taiwan and
several other Southeast Asian countries, as previously mentioned.
Capital goods increased $0.8 billion
to $24.1 billion. Computers and other

office and business machines increased $0.2 billion to $5.4 billion, and
other capital goods increased $0.6 billion to $18.7 billion, reflecting continued strength in business investment.
Consumer goods increased $0.6 billion
to $23.6 billion. Foods, feeds, and beverages increased $0.2 billion to $6.5
billion; meat and poultry increased
$0.3 billion to $1.1 billion.
Automotive products decreased $0.3
billion to $21.9 billion. An increase in
new cars from Canada was more than
offset by a decrease in new cars from
other areas. The number of cars from
Japan decreased 30 percent; prices increased 4 percent. For the year
ending March 1988, Japan did not
export as many cars to the United
States as allowed under Japan's voluntary export restraint program. Passenger cars from Germany decreased
15 percent; cars from South Korea increased 27 percent.
Petroleum imports decreased $1.3
billion, or 12 percent, to $10.0 billion,
entirely due to lower prices. The average price per barrel decreased to
$15.24 from $17.46; the average
number of barrels imported daily increased to 7.16 million from 7.08 million. High production quotas for
OPEC members, increases in production by non-OPEC countries, and possible price discounting contributed to
the price decline. Domestic inventories rose strongly and production was
unchanged.

Service transactions
The net services balance shifted to
a deficit of $0.7 billion in the first
quarter, compared to an unusually
large surplus of $12.0 billion in the
fourth. Receipts decreased $7.1 billion
to $44.2 billion, and payments increased $5.6 billion to $44.8 billion;
both changes were primarily due to
direct investment income.
Receipts of income on U.S. direct
investment abroad decreased to $11.1
billion from a record $19.2 billion.
Nearly all the decrease was accounted
for by a decrease in capital gains to
$1.1 billion from $9.0 billion in the
fourth quarter, when currency translation gains, especially in Western
Europe, were exceptionally large. Operating earnings slipped $0.2 billion
to $10.5 billion.
Payments of income on foreign
direct investment in the United
States increased $5.3 billion to a
record $5.6 billion, as fourth-quarter
capital losses shifted to small gains
and as earnings increased. The increase partly reflected a change in a
financial accounting standard that increased reported income of some foreign-owned U.S. affiliates.
Receipts of income on other private
investment abroad decreased $1.0 billion to $11.9 billion; the decrease was
due to lower interest rates and a decrease in bank-reported claims. U.S.
Government income receipts increased $0.9 billion to $2.1 billion; a
rescheduling of interest receipts with
Egypt accounted for most of the increase.
Payments of income on other private investment in the United States
decreased $0.8 billion to $13.4 billion;
most of the decrease was due to lower
interest rates and a large decrease in
U.S. bank liabilities to foreigners.
U.S. Government income payments
increased $0.4 billion to $6.6 billion.
Travel receipts increased slightly to
$4.0 billion. Receipts from overseas
visitors were up 10 percent; a continued increase in the number of visitors
was probably associated with the depreciation of the dollar. Receipts from
Canada increased, and those from
Mexico decreased. Travel payments
increased $0.2 billion to $5.6 billion;
most of the increase was accounted
for by increased air and land travel to
the Mexican interior. Payments to
Canada and overseas areas were up
slightly.

" Preliminary.
1. Constant-dollar estimates will be revised in July to incorporate new deflation procedures.

Passenger fare receipts increased
$0.2 billion to $1.7 billion. During the
past year, the number of travelers on
U.S. flag carriers from developed
countries increased by 50 percent, due
largely to the depreciation of the
dollar. Lesser depreciation or appreciation of the dollar against the currencies of many developing countries
has contributed to an increase in
travelers from developing countries of
less than 20 percent, including an increase of only 2 percent from Latin
America. Passenger fare payments decreased slightly to $2.2 billion.
Other transportation receipts increased $0.3 billion to $4.7 billion.
Payments increased $0.2 billion to
$5.0 billion.
Receipts from unaffiliated foreigners for other private services (e.g. reinsurance, securities commissions,
communications, etc.) were unchanged at $2.8 billion. Receipts of
commissions on securities transactions decreased, due to a decrease in
the volume of stock transactions/Payments decreased $0.1 billion to $2.0
billion; the decrease was more than
accounted for by lower securities commissions.
Transfers under U.S. military
agency sales contracts increased $0.4
billion to $2.6 billion; the increase

mostly reflected increased deliveries
of aircraft and missiles. Direct defense expenditures abroad were unchanged at $3.4 billion.
Unilateral transfers
Net unilateral transfers decreased
$1.2 billion to $3.2 billion due to lower
U.S. Government grants. A few countries had received large portions of
their annual grants in the fourth
quarter, the first quarter of the U.S.
Government fiscal year.
U.S. assets abroad
U.S. assets abroad decreased $8.9
billion in the first quarter of 1988,
compared to an increase of $38.9 billion in the fourth quarter of 1987.
U.S. official reserve assets.—U.S. official reserve assets decreased $1.5 billion in the first quarter, compared to
$3.7 billion in the fourth. Most of the
decrease reflected intervention sales
of foreign currency holdings.

international financial institutions reported by U.S. banks, excluding U.S.
Treasury securities, decreased $16.0
billion in contrast to an increase of
$29.8 billion. Decreases in dollar liabilities to own foreign offices and to
unaffiliated banks were widespread in
January, as earlier borrowing was
repaid; an exception was Japan,
where liabilities to own foreign offices
increased. Dollar liabilities to other
private foreigners and international
financial institutions increased $0.4
billion, compared to a decrease of $3.3
billion.
Liabilities payable in foreign currencies increased $1.6 billion, compared to $9.2 billion; the smaller increase partly reflected the relative
stability of the dollar.
An increase in U.S. banks' custody
liabilities was mostly with U.S. banks'
offices in the Caribbean.
U.S. Treasury securities.—Net foreign purchases of U.S. Treasury securities by private foreigners and international financial institutions were
$7.0 billion compared to $0.5 billion
(chart 8). In February and March,
the volume of transactions surged to
record levels, reflecting the steady increase in bond prices, increased investor confidence that the dollar had stabilized, and a shift toward higher
yielding longer term assets. European
investors continued net purchases
during the first quarter; Japanese investors, who account for about onehalf of transactions, shifted from net
sales in the fourth quarter to small
net purchases in the first.
Other U.S. securities.—Net foreign
purchases of U.S. securities other
than U.S. Treasury securities were
$2.3 billion in contrast to net sales of
$5.0 billion. Net sales of stocks slowed
substantially, and net purchases of
U.S. bonds slowed slightly.
Net foreign sales of U.S. stocks
slowed to $0.2 billion from a record
selloff of $7.8 billion following the decline in U.S. stock markets in October. Although interest in the U.S.
market picked up with some recovery
of U.S. stock prices and more stable
foreign exchange markets, the volume
of gross transactions remained well
below the previous two quarters
(chart 7).
Net foreign purchases of U.S. bonds
slowed to $2.5 billion from $2.8 billion. The decrease was more than accounted for by a continued slowdown—to $2.6 billion from $3.3 bil-

lion—in bonds newly issued abroad by
U.S. corporations. Foreign investors
remained cautious about acquiring
more U.S. corporate and dollar-denominated assets, and U.S. borrowers
found alternative funding in the domestic bond and commercial paper
markets.
Direct investment.—Inflows for foreign direct investment in the United
States were $10.2 billion compared to
$11.7 billion. Equity capital inflows
were $5.7 billion compared to $11.3
billion. The largest transactions were
a Japanese acquisition of a division of
a U.S. entertainment company and of
a U.S. hotel chain and two British acquisitions in service industries. Reinvested earnings shifted to an inflow of
$3.8 billion after a net outflow of $1.9
billion. A shift to small capital gains
from capital losses and a change in a
financial accounting standard boosted
first-quarter earnings. Intercompany
account debt inflows were $0.7 billion
compared to $2.4 billion.




Technical Notes
As is customary each June, estimates of U.S. international transactions are revised to incorporate new
information and improved methodologies. Revisions were limited to 198487, except for those related to a reclassification of passenger fare payments to and receipts from Canada
and Mexico for 1983-87 and revisions
to merchandise trade for 1978-87.
For U.S. international transactions,
tables 1 and 2 present annual estimates for 1960-87 and quarterly estimates for 1982-87. For merchandise
trade, table 3 presents annual estimates for 1978-87 and quarterly estimates for 1986-87. For account and
area detail, tables 4-10 present
annual estimates for 1985-87 and
quarterly estimates for 1986-87. For
selected country detail, table lOa presents annual estimates for 1985-87.

the current-account items that show
seasonal patterns; for repayments on

vestment abroad—were recalculated
by extending through 1987 the period
used to derive the factors.
Passenger fares
Beginning with estimates for 1983,
passenger fare payments to and receipts from Canada and Mexico are
reclassified from travel to passenger
fares. The average annual revision to
payments due to this reclassification
was $190 million for Canada and $412
million for Mexico. The average
annual revision to receipts was $504
million for Canada and $125 million
for Mexico.
Merchandise trade
A new end-use commodity classification system has been developed and
is introduced with data presented in
this issue of the SURVEY. The new
system presents considerably more
detail than the old and includes a few
definitional changes. In addition, seasonal factors have been recalculated
and applied to revised unadjusted
data for 1978 to the present, and the
format of table 3 has been modified.
End-use commodity classification
system.—The end-use commodity classification system has undergone a
number of changes since its introduction. The last major change occurred
in 1978 when a new Statistical Classification of Domestic and Foreign Commodities Exported from the United
States (Schedule B) for exports and a
new Tariff Schedule of the United
States Annotated (TSUSA) for imports were adopted. The new end-use
system is being introduced in this
issue of the SURVEY because it offers
analytical advantages in that it provides more detail. The new end-use
system was designed to incorporate
the Harmonized System (HS), which
comprises nearly 8,000 10-digit export
codes and 14,500 10-digit import
codes. The HS was developed under
the auspices of the Customs Cooperation Council to establish an internationally accepted standard for the
classification of internationally traded
goods in order to eliminate classification as a source of nontariff trade barriers. The HS has already been adopted by the major trading partners of
the United States and is awaiting approval by the U.S. Congress.
A complete outline of the new enduse system is presented at the end of
these notes (table J). It uses five-digit

35

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

June 1988

codes instead of four-digit codes to facilitate future revisions to the system.
Users will be able to derive trade
summaries at the one-, two-, three-,
and five-digit levels. The four-digit
summary level is not used at present
because it is the same as the five-digit
summary level in nearly all cases.
Future changes in the five-digit classifications may require the introduction
of a four-digit summary level. Some
definitional changes have also been
made.
Table F summarizes changes in the
lowest level of product detail for each
one-digit commodity category for the
new and old systems, as measured by
the number of categories in each
group, and table G indicates changes
in the relative importance in various
categories that have occurred since
1978, as measured by the share of
total dollar exports and imports in
each group.
The larger number of changes in
imports than exports reflects the
changing patterns of trade in recent
years. The largest areas of import
growth have been in capital goods
and consumer goods, and that is reflected by the greater degree of detail
in these categories under the new

schedule. Industrial supplies no 'included in industrial supplies. For

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

For exports, nuclear fuels have
been redefined to match the definition used in imports by including uranium oxide ($1.1 billion in 1987), previously part of chemicals, and excluding nuclear fuel rods ($.1 billion in
1987), now part of generators, transformers, and parts.
Two new end-use import codes are
being introduced in anticipation of
the HS. Passenger and cargo vessels
(22200) and electric energy (10400),
which were not included in the
TSUSA, will be separately identified
under the new 10-digit codes. In addition, for both exports and imports,
spacecraft, engines, and parts, except
military (22300) are being added in
anticipation of future need for separate identification. No exports were
recorded in 1987, and imports were
$34 million.
Table I indicates commodity codes,
as listed in the complete outline in
table J, that are summarized in each
commodity category shown in section
C of table 3.
Seasonal
adjustment. —Published
totals for commodity groupings are
the sum of the five-digit categories.
All five-digit categories have been
tested for seasonality and have been
adjusted when they meet statistical
criteria for seasonality incorporated
in the X-11-ARIMA seasonal adjustment program. Unadjusted data are
used for series not meeting the statistical criteria. In all, 19 export series

and 24 import series—accounting for
10 percent and 13 percent of the
values of exports and imports, respectively—are not seasonally adjusted.
New seasonal factors were applied to
revised unadjusted data for 1978-87.

Data AvailabUity
A hard copy version of Table 3, Section
C, for 1978-88:1 is available. These data
are also available on diskettes. Those interested should order as follows:
Printout: Table 3, section C, 1978-88:1,
seasonally adjusted and unadjusted quarters and years. Accession No. BEA BPD
87-201, price $10.00.
Diskette: Table 3, section C, 1978-88:1,
seasonally adjusted and unadjusted quarters and years. Accession No. BEA BPD
87-401, price $40.00 (2 diskettes).
Orders should be sent to Economic and
Statistical Analysis/BEA, U.S. Department of Commerce, Citizens and Southern National Bank, 222 Mitchell Street,
P.O. Box 100606, Atlanta, GA 30384. A
check or money order payable to "Economic and Statistical Analysis/BEA"
must accompany all orders.
These data will also be available on
the Commerce Department's electronic
bulletin board.

Previously, seasonal factors were
applied to quarterly data. Beginning
this year, monthly data are seasonally adjusted and then summed to
derive quarterly totals for most series.

quarterly seasonal factors for 27
export and 18 import series because
they wexe too erratic for seasonal adjustment on a monthly basis. Generally, the series for which this procedure
was used were concentrated in agricultural products, petroleum products,
and passenger cars. The seasonality of
agricultural products, especially exports, ir> affected by weather conditions, which force changes in monthly
harvest and shipping patterns. Petroleum and products have been affected
by a variety of supply and price movements that have also altered monthly
patterns. (Crude petroleum remains
too erratic for either monthly or quarterly seasonal adjustment.) For passenger cars, there has been a change
in the previous monthly pattern of introducing models during certain
months of the year.
Presentation of data.—The format
for table 3 has been changed to improve its analytical usefulness. Section C, commodity detail on a balance
of payments basis, is expanded, and
section D, commodity detail on a
Census basis, is eliminated. The old
section I) differed from section C by
the amount of the balance of payments adjustments, many of which
could not be distributed by the detailed commodity categories in section
D. Exports were primarily affected because limited commodity detail was
available for undocumented exports
to Canada, which account for a substantial part of the United States-Canadian reconciliation adjustments.
More commodity information is now
being made available to BEA from
the United States-Canadian reconciliation studies than previously. When
both countries develop a common set
of data in the early 1990's, even greater commodity detail will become
available.

Footnotes to U.S. International Transactions Tables 1-1 Oa
General notes for all tables: " Preliminary. "Less than $500,000 (±) n.a. Not available.
Table 1:
1. Credits, + : Exports of goods and services; unilateral transfers to United States; capital inflows (increase in foreign assets (U.S. liabilities) or decrease in U.S. assets); decrease in U.S. official reserve assets; increase in foreign official assets in the United States.
Debits, —: Imports of goods and services; unilateral transfers to foreigners; capital outflows
(decrease hi 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 15).
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, 1987, were as follows in millions of dollars:
Line 36, 43,186; line 37, 11,063; line 38, 9,899; line 39, 10,164; line 40, 11,579. Data are preliminary.
6. Includes sales of foreign obligations to foreigners.
7. Consists of bills, certificates, marketable bonds and notes, and nonmarketable convertible
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 69 and 64 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, (c) includes an adjustment for the
different geographical treatment of transactions with U.S. territories and Puerto Rico, and (d)
includes services furnished without payment by financial intermediaries, except life insurance
carriers and private noninsured pension plans. 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 of the balance on goods and services from the international accounts and the NIPA net exports appears in the Reconciliation
and Other Special Tables" section in this issue of the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS. A reconciliation of the other foreign transactions in the two sets of accounts appears in table 4.5 of the full
set of NIPA tables (published annually in the July issue of the SURVEY) .
12. Includes return import into the United States, at a depreciated value of $21 million in
1972:IV and $22 million in 1973:11, of aircraft originally reported in 1970:111 in line 3 as a longterm 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.
Table 2:
For footnotes 1-11, see table 1.
12. See footnote 14 to table 1.
Table 3:
1. Exports, Census basis, represent transaction values, f.a.s. U.S. port of exportation, for all
years; imports, Census basis, represent 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 sum of seasonally adjusted five-digit end-use categories (see Technical Notes in the June 1980
and June 1988 SURVEY s). Prior to 1983, annual data are as published by the Census Bureau,
except that for 1975-80 published Census data are adjusted to include trade between the U.S.
Virgin Islands and foreign countries.
2. Adjustments in lines A5 and A13, B12, 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. Beginning in 1986, estimates for undocumented exports to
Canada, the largest item in .the U.S.-Canadian reconciliation, are included in Census basis data
shown in line A-l.
3. Exports of military equipment under U.S. military agency sales contracts with foreign governments (line A6), and direct imports by the Department of Defense and the Coast Guard (line
A14), to the extent such trade is identifiable from Customs declarations. The exports are included
in tables 1, 2, and 10, line 3 (transfers under U.S. military agency sales contracts); the 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.-owned grains in storage in Canada; for 1975-82, 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 1974-81; 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 the
Panama Canal Zone before October 1, 1979; for 1975-82, 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 International Monetary Fund, transfers of tin to the International Tin
Council (ITC), and sales of satellites to Intelsat. The memoranda are defined as follows: Industrial
countries: Western Europe, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa; Members
of OPEC: Venezuela, Ecuador, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates,
Indonesia, Algeria, Libya, Nigeria, and Gabon; Other countries: Eastern Europe, Latin American
Republics, other Western Hemisphere, and other countries in Asia and Africa, less OPEC. Before
1984, complete geographic area detail was not available for some balance of payments adjustments. 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 military goods and services purchased through military sales contracts—first authorized (for Israel)
under Public Law 93-199, section 4, and subsequently authorized (for many recipients) under
similar legislation—are included in line 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 line CIO that was delivered without prepayment by the foreign purchaser. Also includes expenditures of appropriations available to release foreign purchasers from liability to
make repayment.
6. Includes purchases of loans from U.S. banks and exporters and payments by the U.S. Government under commercial export credit and investment guarantee programs.
7. Excludes liabilities associated with military sales contracts financed by U.S. Government
grants and credits and included in line C2.

1. Also included in line 4.
2. Acquisition of equity holdings in existing and newly established companies, capital contributions, capitalization of intercompany debt, and other equity contributions.
3. Sales, liquidations, and other dispositions of equity holdings, total and partial.
4. Petroleum includes, and manufacturing and "other" industries exclude, the exploration, development, and production of crude oil and gas, and the transportation, refining, and marketing
of petroleum products, exclusive of petrochemicals. "Other" industries includes wholesale trade;
banking; finance (except banking), insurance, and real estate; services; and other industries—agriculture, forestry, and fishing; mining; construction; transportation, communication, and public
utilities; and retail trade.

3. 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 28.
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

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), because
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.

levels in 1982-83 followed the 1980
and 1982 peaks in agreements. Similarly, deliveries mirrored with a lag
the sharp drop in agreements in
1982-86. The remaining 3 percent of
transfers were non-FMS deliveries of
surplus military property, special construction activities, and other items
and services. (For further description,
see the technical note at the end of
the article.)
The decrease in transfers in 198386 was primarily attributable to the
completion of construction activity in
Saudi Arabia, the fulfillment of F-16
deliveries to four European NATO
countries, and the decline in aircraft
deliveries to Japan. Irregularly
higher transfers in various years to
several countries (notably Pakistan,
Venezuela, Tunisia, Israel, Australia,
Taiwan, Egypt, Korea, Spain, and
Singapore) were partial offsets. In
1987, aircraft deliveries to Israel,
Egypt, Australia, and Spain contributed to an increase in transfers.
Aircraft deliveries dominated transfers throughout 1983-87 and accounted for over one-half of total transfers

Direct Defense Expenditures
Abroad
Direct defense expenditures abroad
consist of outlays for goods and services purchased abroad by DOD agencies under all U.S. defense programs
and by the U.S. Coast Guard. These
expenditures include DOD outlays
that are reimbursed under FMS and
other programs. The reimbursed outlays are for goods (equipment, materials, and supplies) and services (construction and contractual services)
purchased abroad to fulfill contracts
with foreign governments and international organizations. (For further
description, see the technical note.)
Direct defense expenditures abroad
decreased from $12.6 billion in 1983 to
$11.9 billion in 1984, then increased
to $13.9 billion in 1987 (table 2). In
1983-84, markedly lower petroleum
prices and a drop in expenditures
abroad for reimbursable contractual
activities in the Middle East were primarily responsible for the decline.

local economies.
In 1985-87, dollar depreciation and
DOD's efforts to modernize facilities
and improve military life abroad
quickly led to record foreign expenditure levels. Spending in local economies by U.S. personnel continued to
increase sharply in 1985, but further
dollar depreciation slowed its rise in
1986-87. Expenditures abroad for petroleum and for reimbursable contractual activities continued to decrease
in 1985-87.
Changes in the expenditure categories shifted the relative shares of total
expenditures abroad in 1983-87; contractual services, personnel expenditures, and pay to foreign nationals
gained larger shares (chart 13). Germany, Japan, and Korea received increased shares of tot^l expenditures
in 1983-87; the share to the rest of
the world (primarily the Middle East)
decreased (chart 14).
Expenditure categories
Personnel and related expenditures
increased from $3.0 billion in 1983 to

$4.0 billion in 1987 (table 2). U.S.
troop deployment abroad, which fluctuated between 485,000 and 531,000 in
1983-87, affected this expenditure pattern. In addition, the increase in the
annual average number of U.S. civilian employees (up from 42,000 in 1983
to 53,000 in 1987) and of dependents
of both military and civilian personnel (up from 385,000 to 418,000) contributed to higher expenditures
abroad. However, wide swings in the
dollar value of foreign currencies
were the dominant influences. In
1983-84, dollar appreciation encouraged U.S. troops, U.S. civilian employees, and their dependents to spend
more in local economies and less at
post exchanges (PX's) and commissaries. The spending surge continued
through 1985, but slowed in 1986 and
1987 as the cumulative depreciation
of the dollar caused personnel to increase the share of their expenditures
at facilities on base. Personnel expenditures in the local economies remained high in 1986-87 largely because DOD attempted to maintain the

DOD foreign expenditures for contractual services also increased, from
$2.8 billion in 1983 to $4.5 billion in
1987. Dollar depreciation pushed costs
for improving facilities and enhancing
military life overseas over the
amounts Congress had appropriated,
forcing DOD to draw extensively on a
special foreign currency fluctuation
account to cover the higher exchange
costs. Similarly, DOD tapped the account to help meet the payroll of foreign nationals, which increased from
$1.7 billion for 123,000 foreign nationals in 1983 to $2.4 billion for 125,000
foreign nationals in 1987. By 1987,
DOD had depleted the entire $1.3 billion balance in the account.
Foreign expenditures by DOD for
construction, major equipment, and
other materials and supplies together
decreased from $3.2 billion in 1983 to
$2.1 billion in 1987. The decline was
more than accounted for by the decline in expenditures, from $1.8 bil-

lion to $0.2 billion, for which DOD
was reimbursed by foreign governments and international organizations
under FMS and other programs. (A
part of expenditures reimbursed is included in contractual services, discussed earlier.)
Expenditures for foreign petroleum
products fell sharply from $1.7 billion
in 1983 to $0.5 billion in 1986, mostly
because petroleum prices paid by
DOD declined 62 percent. Expenditures changed little in 1987. Purchases from European refineries,
mainly in Greece, accounted for 55-60
percent of each year's total, except in
1985, when large purchases from Bahrain were made.
Area and country
Western Europe.—Direct defense expenditures in Western Europe increased from $7.4 billion in 1983 to
$9.6 billion in 1987, declining only in
1984 (table 3). Increases in troops,
support personnel, and dependents,
together with dollar depreciation and
modernization efforts in 1985-87, accelerated these foreign payments.
Germany remained the primary location for U.S. overseas troop deployment (250,000 in 1987); the largest
overseas contingent of U.S. civilians
(34,000) and foreign nationals (60,000)
supported these troops. Over 228,000
dependents accompanied U.S. personnel in Germany in 1987. As a result,
DOD overseas expenditures were the
highest in Germany and increased
from $4.4 billion in 1983 to $6.4 billion in 1987. Exchange rate fluctuations were a major influence. From
the beginning of 1983 to the end of
February 1985, the dollar appreciated
40 percent against the German mark.
U.S. military personnel increased expenditures in the German economy
by 31 percent from 1983 to 1985 (from
$1.6 billion to $2.1 billion) and decreased their expenditures at PX's
and commissaries, to take advantage
of the cheaper mark. Dollar appreciation contributed to a slight reduction
in costs of German employees, supplies, and construction services.
From the end of February 1985 to
the end of 1987, the dollar depreciated
52 percent against the mark. Expenditures by U.S. personnel in Germany
continued to increase during much of
1985, but the dollar's decline led to a
leveling of expenditures in 1986-87.
DOD assisted its personnel by increasing the amount, and expanding the

application, of pay supplements in an
attempt to maintain their standard of
living. Personnel spent more at PX's
and commissaries than in 1983-85;
sales increased from $1.5 billion in
1985 to $2.0 billion in 1987.
U.S. military installations in Germany received the bulk of expanded
DOD funding to improve facilities and
enhance military life overseas in
1985-87. Contractual services provided by German companies (primarily
for the operation and maintenance of
real property) doubled from $1.0 billion in 1983 to $2.0 billion in 1986, reflecting both real growth and, in
1985-86, rising foreign exchange costs.
Congressionally mandated budget
cuts and the depletion of the special
foreign currency fluctuation account
in 1986-87 forced a scaledown of DOD
modernization efforts, but additional
foreign exchange costs raised payments for German services to $2.1 billion in 1987. Pay to German nationals
employed by DOD increased from $0.9
billion annually in 1983-85 to $1.3 billion in 1987.
In the United Kingdom, direct defense expenditures were $0.9 billion
annually in 1983-86, then increased
to $1.1 billion in 1987. A strong dollar
slowed the rise in operating costs in
1983-84; reduced outlays for petroleum and for major equipment (missiles, aircraft, engines, and related
parts) offset the rise in exchange costs
in 1985-86. Preparation and deployment of cruise missiles throughout
1983-87 led to higher U.S. troop, U.S.
civilian, and dependent levels (30,000,
2,700, and 38,000, respectively, in
1987) and to higher U.S. foreign costs.
Substantial dollar depreciation in
1985-87 contributed to increases in all
expenditure categories in 1987.
In Italy, expenditures fluctuated in
the $0.4-$0.6 billion range in 1983-87.
In 1983-86, expenditures for petroleum decreased, but expenditures related to deployment of cruise missiles
and the acquisition of helicopters increased. By 1987, U.S. troop strength
in Italy increased to 15,000 (along
with 2,000 U.S. civilian employees
and 16,000 dependents), and expenditures were $0.6 billion.
Among other countries in Western
Europe, expenditures in Greece in
1983-87 dropped sharply, mostly due
to the decline in petroleum prices.
Lower expenditures for petroleum
and for equipment reduced total expenditures in Belgium in 1984; cruise




June 1988

missile deployment in 1985-87 contributed to higher expenditures. Expenditures in Spain fluctuated around
$0.2 billion in 1983-86 and increased
to $0.3 billion in 1987. Completion of
payments into the acquisition fund
for NATO AWACS in 1983-84 contributed to the decline in total expenditures to NATO agencies in 198586; higher infrastructure payments
raised these total expenditures in
1987.
Japan, Korea, Philippines, and
Panama.—Expenditures in Japan increased from $1.3 billion in 1983 to
$2.0 billion in 1986 and remained
there in 1987. As in Western Europe,
exchange rate fluctuations were an
important influence. However, the
1983-84 dollar appreciation against
the yen was smaller (11 percent) and
the 1985-87 depreciation was greater
(53 percent). Because U.S. troops
(50,000), U.S. civilian employees
(4,200), and their dependents (44,000)
in Japan already faced high expenses
in 1983-84 and escalating expenses in
1985-87, they limited their expenditures to $0.6-$0.7 billion annually
throughout 1983-87. Purchases from
Japan for resale by the PX system (an
important component of personnel expenditures) have historically been a
major element of foreign expenditures, but the rise in foreign exchange
costs and a concerted effort to stock
PX shelves with U.S.-origin goods reduced real purchases of Japanese
products. Pay supplements to DOD
personnel were higher in Japan than
in any other overseas location.
Payments for Japanese contractual
services to improve conditions for
U.S. troops doubled from 1983 to 1986,
to $0.6 billion; budget cuts and tight
overall DOD funding slowed modernization efforts, but continued dollar
depreciation kept expenditures at $0.6
billion in 1987. Employment of Japanese nationals by DOD decreased
slightly to 17,000 by 1987, but annual
payroll costs increased from $0.3 billion in 1983 to $0.5 billion in 1986 and
1987. The Japanese Government
agreed in 1987 to cover more of the
costs of employing Japanese nationals.
Korea also has a large U.S. presence (44,000 troops, 2,400 U.S. civilian
employees, and 15,000 dependents in
1987). U.S. expenditures in Korea
were $0.6 billion in 1983, fell to $0.5
billion in 1984, then increased to $0.8
billion in 1987. In 1983-87, personnel

U.S. Government credits or grants,
which are recorded elsewhere in the
U.S. international accounts. Transfers
in which the U.S. Government is the
purveyor to a foreign government or
an international organization are included. Transfers in which a private
U.S. contractor is the direct supplier
to a foreign government are included
elsewhere in the U.S. international
accounts, as are direct grant deliveries of military goods and services of
the U.S. Government.
Transfers under FMS contracts are
goods delivered to, and services performed for, foreign governments or
international organizations for use in
the United States or abroad. They include transfers of goods from stocks
at U.S. military installations overseas. Goods primarily include aircraft,
naval vessels, vehicles, weapons, ammunition, missiles, and communication equipment, plus associated parts.
Services generally entail training,
technical assistance, logistical support, and construction activities.
Transfers are recorded when goods
are delivered, when services are performed, or when construction is put
in place, not when contracts, orders,
offers, or any other types of agreement are negotiated.
In addition to FMS deliveries,
transfers under U.S. military agency
sales contracts also include small
amounts of non-FMS deliveries resulting from U.S. military agency sales of
surplus property to foreigners; sales
of material and services to foreign
countries or international organizations under logistical support programs; delivery of services to foreign
governments by U.S. military advisory missions abroad; and sales to foreigners of U.S. grant aid material declared excess by recipient countries
and returned to the U.S. Government.

These transfers are often financed by DOD agencies; outlays by DOD for

foreign goods, including those purchased abroad for resale to U.S. personnel in overseas post exchanges and
commissaries; and payments for hire
of foreign personnel. These expenditures also include overseas outlays by
U.S. and foreign contractors employed
by DOD for construction, operation,
and maintenance of U.S. overseas
military installations and for construction projects managed abroad by
DOD, and U.S. payments to the commonly funded NATO infrastructure
program. Expenditures exclude foreign products imported into the
United States by U.S. companies to
fulfill defense contracts and purchases of crude petroleum by DOD for
the U.S. strategic petroleum reserve;
these imports are included in the
merchandise trade account in the
U.S. international accounts.
DOD reimbursable contractual activities abroad (mostly construction
and related services) are recorded in
both the transfers and expenditures
accounts. When a foreign government
or an international organization contracts for DOD services (whether
under the FMS program or not), the
foreign entity's provision of funds to
DOD creates a U.S. liability. DOD,
acting as a prime contractor, draws
on these funds to pay its agencies,
U.S. contractors, and foreign contractors for the delivery of goods and rendering of services. Delivered goods
and services are recorded as transfers
under U.S. military agency sales contracts and the liability is liquidated.
To the extent that foreign goods and
services are procured (including those
purchased by U.S. contractors) to fulfill DOD's contractual obligations,
purchases are recorded as direct defense expenditures abroad. Net receipts or payments from these reimbursable contractual activities overseas are the difference between total
DOD deliveries to fulfill the contracts
(transfers) and expenditures for foreign goods and services used in these
contracts (direct defense expenditures). If foreign contractors purchase
U.S.-origin goods and services, these
purchases are recorded (but not identified) in the merchandise trade account.

and contractual service expenditures
both increased, petroleum expenditures dropped (especially in 1984), and
pay to Korean employees (17,000 in
1987) remained stable at $0.2 billion
annually.
Expenditures in the Philippines increased from $0.2 billion in 1983 to
$0.4 billion in 1986 and decreased to
$0.3 billion in 1987. To the benefit of
U.S. personnel (17,000 troops, 1,400 civilian employees, and 22,000 dependents in 1987), the dollar appreciated
against the Philippine peso throughout the period, and spending in the
local economy doubled to $0.2 billion.
Pay to Philippine nationals (15,000 in
1987) steadily increased until 1987; expenditures for contractual services
and supplies increased for most of
1983-87.
Panama has the largest overseas
U.S. troop contingent (10,000 in 1987)
in the Western Hemisphere, and DOD
foreign expenditures in Panama were
$0.2 billion annually in 1983-87. Because the U.S. dollar circulates in
Panama and is at par with the balboa
(the national currency), DOD expenditures in this country primarily reflect
DOD budgeted improvements and
levels of operations.
Middle East.—Expenditures in the
Middle East decreased from $2.2 billion in 1983 to $0.5 billion in 1987.
The decrease was attributable to expenditures abroad by the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Air
Force for reimbursable construction
and related services in Saudi Arabia;
these expenditures decreased from
$1.8 billion in 1983 to $0.2 billion in
1987 as major contracts were completed. (DOD's contractual obligations for
these activities were discussed in the
section on transfers.)




By RUSSELL B. SCHOLL

The International Investment Position
of the United States in 1987
THE negative net international investment position of the United
States increased $99.0 billion to $368.2
billion in 1987 from $269.2 billion (revised) in 1986 (table 1). Net capital inflows of $135.5 billion were accounted
for by substantial net inflows to U.S.
banks from banks overseas, large net
foreign purchases of U.S. corporate
securities, and increased foreign official inflows largely reflecting intervention purchases of dollars by several industrial countries. The capital inflows were partly offset by net valuation adjustments of $36.5 billion,
mostly reflecting exchange rate appreciation of U.S. official reserve
assets and of U.S. holdings of foreign
securities, and price depreciation of
U.S. securities held by foreigners. By
yearend 1987, foreign assets in the
United States increased to $1,536.0
billion from $1,340.7 billion (revised),
and U.S. assets abroad increased to
$1,167.8 billion from $1,071.4 billion
(revised) (table 2).
The increase in the negative net investment position in 1987 reflected
the continued large U.S. current-account deficit, which widened to $154.0
billion in 1987 from $138.8 billion in
1986. Net capital inflows, the mirror
image of the current-account deficit,
were attracted by a significant widening of the interest rate differentials
between (higher) U.S. and (lower) foreign rates and by U.S. economic expansion. Inflows of private capital
were augmented by large inflows of
official capital, as foreign monetary
authorities,
through
coordinated
intervention in exchange markets,
purchased substantial amounts of dollars. Banks in the United States
NOTE.—The sections on "U.S. Direct Investment Abroad" and on "Foreign Direct Investment in the United States" were written by
Jeffrey H. Lowe and Alicia M. Quijano, respectively. Harlan King contributed to the data
preparation for the accounts other than the
direct investment accounts.

stepped up their borrowing from the
interbank market overseas and limited their lending to that market, as
the cost of funding in the United
States rose. Until the October stock
market plunge, foreign investment in
U.S. stocks was particularly strong;
foreign purchases of bonds newly
issued overseas by U.S. corporations
slowed. Net outflows in the direct investment accounts were small, as
record U.S. direct investment abroad
was mostly offset by continued
strength in foreign direct investment
in the United States.
The statistical discrepancy in the
U.S. international transactions accounts was again a large net inflow in
1987. If part of these net unrecorded
inflows were capital inflows, net foreign assets in the United States would
be understated by that amount. On
the other hand, understatement of
some U.S. assets abroad—for instance,
because direct investment is carried
at book value—would work in the opposite direction. Thus, the net investment position is only a rough indicator, rather than a precise statistical
measure, and should be interpreted
with caution.

Changes in U.S. Assets Abroad
Bank claims
Claims on foreigners reported by
U.S. banks increased $40.5 billion, or
8 percent, to $547.9 billion (line 19).
Growth in U.S. claims denominated
in dollars in the overseas interbank
market was further curtailed in 1987,
especially by U.S.-owned banks.
Increased lending in foreign currencies offset some of the slowdown. The
slowing partly reflected the rise in
U.S. interest rates, as the U.S. prime
rate jumped from 7.5 to 9.25 percent
between April and September, and
the increase in demand for currencies
other than the dollar, especially the
Japanese yen. Outside the interbank

market, U.S. bank lending was practically stagnant; virtually no new loans
went to major debtor countries in
Latin America.
U.S. banks' own dollar claims increased $14.0 billion to $458.7 billion—only one-third the 1986 increase. Claims on own foreign offices
and unaffiliated banks abroad increased $15.9 billion to $350.4 billion.
The rise in claims in the overseas
interbank market occurred in April
and in the autumn of the year. In
both periods, foreign demand for
dollar credits surged in response to
temporary increases in Eurodollar interest rates compared with U.S. rates
and to strong demand for U.S. bank
credits in Asia, especially by Japan.
Most of the rise in U.S. claims was accounted for by foreign-owned banks in
the United States, especially Japanese-owned banks. In contrast, U.S.owned banks, which participated only
briefly in these lending surges, subsequently reduced their claims on banks
abroad, resulting in the third consecutive annual decline in their interbank
claims.
Unaffiliated banks in Japan received the largest share of U.S. lending—over one-half. Japanese banks
continued to expand their share of
international banking business and to
accommodate strong demand for bank
credit from nonbank Japanese residents. Claims on banks in France,
Canada, and other parts of Asia also
increased; in contrast, banks in the
United Kingdom made sizable repayments. U.S. bank offices in the Caribbean received only limited funding
from parent banks in the United
States.
U.S. banks' dollar claims on other
private and foreign public borrowers
decreased $2.0 billion to $108.3 billion;
an increase in claims on borrowers in
Japan and Canada was more than
offset by a decrease in Western
Europe and Latin America. Claims on
major debtor countries in Latin

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

June 1988

America were reduced through loan
sales, equity swaps, and regular repayments; little new lending took
place. The claims reduction occurred
during a year when Brazil and Ecuador discontinued servicing a major
portion of their indebtedness with
international banks and U.S. banks
set aside substantial amounts from
current earnings as reserves for possible loan losses.
U.S. banks' and customers' claims
payable in foreign currencies in-

creased sharply, $22.7 billion, to $51.3
billion. Three-fourths of the increase
was with banks in Japan, which expanded their international banking
activities by advancing yen credits to
foreigners and to nonbank residents
in Japan.
U.S. bank claims for domestic customers' accounts, payable in dollars,
increased $3.8 billion to $37.7 billion
in 1987; deposits in banks overseas
slowed due to rising U.S. interest
rates.

Foreign securities
Holdings of foreign securities in
U.S. portfolios increased $13.5 billion
to $146.7 billion; net purchases of $4.5
billion and exchange rate appreciation of $14.7 billion were partly offset
by $5.6 billion in price depreciation
(line 15). Stock prices fell sharply in
major financial markets in the last
quarter of 1987, after having increased strongly earlier in the year.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

U.S. holdings of foreign bonds increased $9.2 billion to $91.0 billion
(line 16). U.S. purchases accelerated
in the fourth quarter when bond
prices rebounded, resulting in $6.8 billion in net purchases for the year.
Valuation adjustments reflected appreciation of $7.0 billion in foreign
currency bonds and a partly offsetting
$4.5 billion in price depreciation in
dollar bonds. U.S. net purchases of
new issues of foreign bonds in the
U.S. market were $6.2 billion, bolstered by the fourth quarter's rebound in prices. Issues were limited
to highly rated government borrowers
until the fourth quarter. Canada and
international financial institutions

were the principal issuers; redemptions of their outstanding issues largely offset U.S. purchases. Purchases of
Australian and New Zealand new
issues increased in popularity due to
their high yields. U.S. net purchases
of outstanding bonds—mostly highyielding British gilt-edged bonds—
were enhanced by appreciation of the
British pound.
U.S. holdings of foreign stocks increased $4.3 billion to $55.7 billion.
The increase was more than accounted for by exchange rate appreciation
of $7.7 billion, partly offset by $2.4
billion in net U.S. sales and price depreciation of $1.1 billion (line 17).
Most of the net sales and price depre-

June 1988

ciation occurred following the worldwide stock price plunge in the last
quarter of the year, although some
switching from Japanese to Canadian
and Western European stocks had
been underway earlier. Profit-taking
net sales of Japanese stocks began in
mid-1986 and accelerated in 1987,
nearly depleting U.S. holdings despite
buoyant Japanese stock prices and
the rising exchange value of the yen.
U.S. net purchases of British and Canadian stocks halted in the fourth
quarter, except for U.S. underwriters'
purchases of British Petroleum stock
from the British Government that
were contracted before the market
plunge.

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's), 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's, and $54 million reserve position in the IMF. The gold stock is
valued at $35 per fine troy ounce until May 8, 1972; thereafter, at $38 per fine troy ounce until
October 18, 1973, pursuant to the Par Value Modification Act (P.L. 92-268); and, thereafter, at
$42% per fine troy ounce pursuant to an amendment (in P.L. 93-110) to the Par Value Modification Act. Beginning in 1974, the value of the SDR, in which U.S. holdings of SDR's and the reserve position in the IMF are denominated, fluctuates based on the weighted average of exchange
rates for the currencies of principal IMF members. Foreign currency reserves are valued at exchange rates at time of purchase through 1973 and at current exchange rates thereafter.
2. Also includes paid-in capital subscription to international financial institutions and outstanding amounts of miscellaneous claims that have been settled through international agreements to
be payable to the U.S. Government over periods in excess of 1 year. Excludes World War I debts
that are not being serviced.
3. Includes indebtedness that the borrower may contractually, or at its option, repay with its
currency, with a third country's currency, or by delivery of materials or transfer of services.

June 1988

U.S. direct investment abroad and
other private assets
U.S. direct investment abroad increased $49.3 billion, a record 19 percent, to $308.9 billion (line 14). Reinvested earnings nearly doubled to
$35.7 billion; equity and intercompany
debt capital outflows totaled $8.8 billion, and valuation adjustments added
$4.9 billion. Earnings of foreign affiliates of U.S. companies improved substantially, augmented by large currency translation gains as the dollar
declined sharply against major foreign currencies. The strong increase
in reinvested earnings also reflected
changes in the Tax Reform Act of
1986 restricting the use of foreign tax
credits. Investment in Canada, Japan,
United Kingdom, and some other European countries increased; net funding of finance affiliates in the Netherlands Antilles slowed. (Details on 1987
direct investment developments are
in a separate section on "U.S. Direct
Investment Abroad" in this article.)
Claims on unaffiliated foreigners
reported by U.S. nonbanking concerns
decreased $3.1 billion to $30.1 billion;
financial claims decreased $4.1 billion, and commercial claims increased
$1.0 billion (line 18). U.S. corporations, faced with rising interest rates
in the United States, drew down their
deposits in Canada, the United Kingdom, and Caribbean banking centers
and expanded their trade credits to
industrial countries.
U.S. official reserve assets and other
U.S. Government assets
U.S. official reserve assets decreased $2.7 billion to $45.8 billion; reductions in assets of $9.1 billion were
partly offset by exchange rate appreciation of $6.4 billion (line 3). Most of
the reduction in assets was due to the
sale of German marks and Japanese
yen in exchange markets as part of
coordinated intervention with other
industrial countries. Exchange rate
appreciation offset about one-half the
decline in foreign currency holdings.
Valuation adjustments to other reserve assets mostly reflected a rise in
the value of the market basket of currencies used to value special drawing
rights and the U.S. reserve position in
the International Monetary Fund.
U.S. Government assets, other than
official reserve assets, decreased $1.2
billion to $88.4 billion—the first drop
since 1974 (line 8). Repayments on

slowed.

Changes in Foreign Assets in
the United States
Bank liabilities
Liabilities to private foreigners and
international financial institutions reported by U.S. banks increased a
record $87.8 billion, or 19 percent, to
$539.4 billion (line 35). U.S. banks borrowed heavily from the overseas
interbank market, partly to finance
domestic expansion and increased
lending in foreign currencies. Inflows
were encouraged by a substantial widening of the differential between
(higher) U.S. and (lower) foreign interest rates and by a growing preference
for liquid dollar assets and foreign
currency credits by international investors. High yields on bank deposits
relative to yields on Treasury bills
also favored bank inflows. Dollar liabilities to own foreign offices and unaffiliated foreign banks increased
$61.1 billion to $371.1 billion. Foreignowned banks in the United States—
especially Japanese-owned banks—
that were rapidly expanding their
lending in the United States and
overseas accounted for more than 60
percent of the increase; most of the
borrowing occurred in the fourth
quarter, when demand for bank credit
surged. U.S.-owned banks borrowed
most heavily from their own foreign
offices in April and September, when
bank reserves tightened and the U.S.Eurodollar interest rate differential
widened, favoring funding from offshore.
Banks in Western Europe provided
over 60 percent of the increase in
interbank liabilities. Banks in Canada
and in Asian banking centers, excluding Japan, accounted for another 20
percent. Banks in Japan, faced with
heavy credit demands, withdrew
funds from the United States and also
received a substantial share of new
lending by banks in the United
States.

U.S. Treasury securities
U.S. Treasury securities held by private foreigners and international financial institutions decreased $13.1
billion to $78.4 billion, as a result of
$7.6 billion in net sales and $5.5 billion in price depreciation (line 30).
Foreigners sold $1.8 billion of bills
and $5.8 billion of bonds following 3
years of net purchases. Japanese sales
were especially large, as institutional
investors there shifted portfolios from
bonds to U.S. stocks and profited from
the fourth-quarter recovery in bond
prices. International financial institutions, switching to U.S. bank deposits,
also liquidated some of their holdings.
Sales through accounts in the Caribbean were also large. Although net
purchases for accounts in the United
Kingdom continued, they were 25 percent below last year's pace.
Other U.S. securities
Foreign holdings of U.S. securities,
other than U.S. Treasury securities,
increased $35.6 billion, or 8 percent,
to $344.4 billion, reflecting strong foreign demand for most of the year
(line 31). Net foreign purchases of
$42.2 billion were offset by $12.4 billion in price depreciation, mostly due
to the steep fall in U.S. stock prices in
October. Exchange rate appreciation
of foreign currency bonds issued by
U.S. companies and held overseas
added $5.8 billion to holdings.
Foreign holdings of U.S. corporate
and other bonds increased $28.9 billion, or 20 percent, to $171.0 billion,
bolstered by the above-mentioned $5.8
billion in exchange rate appreciation.
Partly offsetting was price depreciation of $3.6 billion (line 32). Rising
bond rates and a weak dollar in exchange markets reduced both the
demand for and the supply of U.S.
corporate bonds newly issued overseas, which fell 40 percent to $22.6
billion. U.S. industrial companies and
nonbank financial firms reduced their

80

placements, and bank holding companies withdrew from the floating-rate
note market. Straight fixed-rate bonds
were preferred by international investors and accounted for most of the
U.S. issues; bonds convertible into
U.S. stock were increasingly issued
until the plunge in U.S. stock prices.
Foreign currency issues by U.S. corporations declined to less than one-half
the prior year's level.
Because most U.S. issues overseas
are initially placed through underwriters in the United Kingdom, holdings in Western Europe showed the
largest increase. Direct purchases by
Japanese institutions slowed substantially after 2 years of strong increases.
Foreign holdings of U.S. federally
sponsored agency bonds increased
$3.4 billion to $20.5 billion, entirely
reflecting net purchases by Western
European and Japanese residents.
Foreign holdings of U.S. stocks increased strongly until October; net
purchases for the first three quarters
of 1987 exceeded purchases for 1985
and 1986 combined. Large net sales
occurred in the fourth quarter, as
stock prices plummeted 30 percent in
October. For the year, foreign holdings increased $6.7 billion to $173.4
billion; net purchases of $15.5 billion
were partly offset by $8.8 billion in
price depreciation (line 33). Japan accounted for over 70 percent of the net
purchases, partly due to the relaxation of restrictions on Japanese institutional investors' foreign portfolios
and to the strong yen. Japanese purchases slowed considerably in the
fourth quarter. Western European
residents made large net purchases
before the market plunge, but sold
over 85 percent of these purchases in
the fourth quarter.

the Eurodollar market.) OPEC members again reduced their dollar assets,
by $10.0 billion, as petroleum revenues remained weak. Assets of other
countries, mostly those of newly industrialized countries in Asia with
large trade surpluses, increased $5.7
billion.

Foreign official assets
Foreign official assets held in the
United States increased $41.4 billion
to $283.1 billion, mostly reflecting
intervention purchases of dollars in
exchange markets—subsequently invested in U.S. Treasury securities—by
major industrial countries (line 21).
Capital inflows of $45.0 billion were
partly offset by $3.6 billion in price
depreciation. Industrial countries'
dollar assets increased $49.2 billion,
more than accounting for the increase
in total official holdings. (In addition,
some of their dollars acquired as a
result of intervention were placed in




Foreign direct investment in the
United States and other liabilities
Foreign direct investment in the
United States increased a record $41.5
billion, or 19 percent, to $261.9 billion
(line 29). Substantial acquisition activity continued as equity inflows remained strong at $25.5 billion; intercompany debt inflows increased to
$14.0 billion, and reinvested earnings
shifted to a positive $2.5 billion. The
largest inflow was from the United
Kingdom, followed by Japan and the
Netherlands. Sustained U.S. economic
expansion, the depreciation of the
dollar against major currencies, U.S.
corporate restructuring through the
sale of assets, and rising protectionist
sentiment in the United States were
among the factors contributing to the
growth of foreign investment in the
United States. (Details on 1987 direct
investment developments are in a separate section on "Foreign Direct Investment in the United States" in
this article.)
U.S. liabilities to unaffiliated foreigners reported by U.S. nonbanking
concerns increased $2.2 billion to
$28.8 billion, reversing a 2-year decline (line 34). Commercial liabilities
increased $2.9 billion, partly associated with capital goods purchases in the
United States and partly representing
increased payables for petroleum imports. Financial liabilities decreased
$0.8 billion, as U.S. firms continued to
repay loans from foreign branches of
U.S. banks in the Caribbean.

Direct Investment
U.S. direct investment abroad
The U.S. direct investment position
abroad increased 19 percent ($49.2 billion) in 1987, to $308.8 billion, compared with 13 percent in 1986 (table
3).1 The 1987 increase marked the
fourth consecutive year of increased
1. The position is the book value of U.S. direct investors' equity in, and net 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 equivalent.

June 1988

growth and was a record, both in percentage and dollar terms.
Nearly three-fourths of the increase
resulted from the reinvestment of
earnings. Reinvested earnings were
$35.7 billion, nearly double the previous record level of $19.7 billion in
1986. Their rapid growth in 1987 was
due to increases in both earnings and
the reinvestment ratio.
Earnings rose $13.0 billion, to $54.7
billion, mainly because of the twofold
effects of dollar depreciation. First,
the translation into dollars, at the
new exchange rates, of affiliates'
assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies resulted in large
capital gains, which are included in
earnings. Second, the translation into
dollars of affiliates' earnings denominated in foreign currencies resulted
in higher dollar-valued earnings. In
addition, improved operating profits
in manufacturing—particularly in
transportation equipment, chemicals,
and "other manufacturing"—and in
wholesale trade contributed to the increase in earnings. The improvement
probably reflected strong demand and
more cost-efficient operations resulting from recent corporate restructurings.
The reinvestment ratio, defined as
the fraction of earnings that are reinvested, increased substantially, from
0.46 in 1986 to 0.64 in 1987. Three factors contributed to the increase. First,
the earlier mentioned capital gains
resulting from dollar depreciation are
not available for distribution and thus
became part of reinvested earnings.
Second, U.S. parent companies, particularly in petroleum and manufacturing, have had reasons to reinvest a
larger portion of their affiliates' earnings. In petroleum, reinvested earnings are needed to finance increased
exploration and development in anticipation that the partial recovery in
crude oil prices in 1987 will be maintained. In manufacturing, affiliates
are facing increased global competition and are stepping up expansion
plans. Finally, the 1986 reinvestment
ratio had been lowered by U.S. parent
companies in response to provisions of
the Tax Reform Act of 1986 that imposed new restrictions on the use of
foreign tax credits. To lessen the
impact of the new restrictions, which
became effective at the beginning of
1987, U.S. parent companies had accelerated the distribution of their affiliates' earnings in the last half of
1986. (U.S. companies use foreign tax

credits to offset U.S. taxes on foreignearned income to the extent such
income is taxed abroad and distributed to the U.S. company.)
A $2.2 billion increase in equity
capital outflows, to $2.5 billion, contributed to the increased growth in
the position, although to a much
lesser extent than reinvested earnings. Shifts to outflows in manufacturing and banking were partly offset
by smaller outflows in finance and
larger inflows in "other industries."
Intercompany debt outflows decreased $1.5 billion, to $6.3 billion. A
$2.4 billion shift to inflows in manufacturing and a $1.8 billion decrease
in outflows in petroleum were partly
offset by a $2.7 billion increase in outflows to all other industries. In manufacturing, the shift to inflows partly
reflected sharply increased earnings
of affiliates in transportation equipment, which may have lessened their
need for U.S.-source funds. In petroleum, the decline in outflows reflected
an increase in U.S. parents' payables
to their affiliates due to higher crude
oil prices and an increased volume of
U.S. petroleum imports. The partly
offsetting increase in outflows to all
other industries mainly resulted from
larger U.S. parent receivables from
affiliates in finance and wholesale
trade, possibly to finance larger U.S.
exports in 1987.
By account—The $49.2 billion increase in the position consisted of capital outflows of $44.5 billion and valuation adjustments of $4.8 billion. Capital outflows consisted of equity capital outflows of $2.5 billion, intercompany debt outflows of $6.3 billion, and
reinvested earnings of $35.7 billion.
(For estimates of capital outflows by
account, see table 5 in "U.S. International Transactions, First Quarter
1988," on page 55 of this issue.)
The equity capital outflows were
concentrated in finance and petroleum. In finance, the outflows represented capital contributions to affiliates in Bermuda, the United Kingdom, and Hong Kong. A return of
capital from Netherlands Antilles finance affiliates was partly offsetting.
In petroleum, most of the outflows resulted from two acquisitions. In Australia, a company with substantial petroleum reserves was acquired, perhaps in response to the easing of Australian restrictions on foreign ownership in the petroleum industry. In the
United Kingdom, a minority interest




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
in a large petroleum company was acquired. (The minority interest was
subsequently sold in early 1988, and
some of the proceeds were used to acquire a smaller British company with
sizable petroleum reserves.)
Partly offsetting the outflows in finance and petroleum were large inflows in "other industries"; they
mostly resulted from the sale of a
major British food retailer and partial
sales of two Australian mining operations. The British retailer was probably sold because the U.S. parent
needed funds to repay debt incurred
while opposing a hostile takeover attempt. One of the Australian sales reflected a public offering of a minority
interest in what was previously a
wholly owned affiliate. The other reflected the selloff of a minority interest in an affiliate; the proceeds were
used by the U.S. parent for a stock
buyback.
About one-half of the intercompany
debt outflows were for U.S. parents'
repayments of loans to their Netherlands Antilles finance affiliates.2
Much of the remaining outflows were
in finance as well; in one particularly
large transaction, a loan was made to
a holding company affiliate in
Canada, which, in turn, used the
funds to acquire a major Canadian
real estate company with substantial
U.S. holdings. Other intercompany
debt outflows were to affiliates in
wholesale trade, perhaps reflecting increased U.S. exports in 1987, and to
affiliates in services.
Reinvested earnings were boosted
by depreciation of the U.S. dollar
against major foreign currencies.
Nearly one-half of the $35.7 billion of
reinvested earnings were accounted
for by capital gains from currency
translation. By industry, affiliates in
manufacturing had reinvested earnings of $20.4 billion, mostly in Europe.
Reinvested earnings were $6.4 billion
in finance and insurance and $4.1 billion in wholesale trade.

2. Previously, these affiliates had borrowed funds in
European capital markets and re-lent them to their
U.S. parents. The parents were prompted to borrow
indirectly through these affiliates, rather than directly from Euromarkets, because the interest payments
on their borrowings from affiliates were exempt from
U.S. withholding taxes under a United States- Netherlands Antilles tax treaty. However, in the third quarter of 1984, the U.S. withholding tax on interest paid
to foreigners was repealed, ending any advantage to
borrowing through Netherlands Antilles affiliates.
Consequently, most borrowing from these affiliates
has ceased, and repayments of previous borrowings
have increased substantially.

June 1988

Valuation adjustments were $4.8
billion. They were particularly large
in "other industries" and reflected
the above-mentioned sales of the British food retailer and Australian
mining operations for more than book
value.
By country.—The position increased
20 percent, to $233.3 billion, in developed countries. Among these countries, the largest increase—$9.0 billion—was in the United Kingdom.
Most of the increase resulted from reinvested earnings that were boosted
by capital gains from currency translation. In addition, equity outflows to
the United Kingdom were larger than
to any other country. They reflected
the earlier mentioned capital contributions to affiliates in finance and the
purchase of a minority interest in a
petroleum company. Inflows from the
sales of several large retailing operations were partly offsetting. Several
other European countries—Germany
($3.6 billion), France ($2.6 billion), and
the Netherlands ($2.5 billion)—also
had large increases in position. In
each of these countries, reinvested
earnings accounted for most of the increase.
The position in Canada increased
$6.9 billion. As in Europe, the increase was mostly attributable to reinvested earnings. However, gains
from currency translation were not as
significant as in the United Kingdom,
in part because the U.S. dollar did not
decline as much against the Canadian
dollar as against the British pound.
The position in Canada was also
boosted by the earlier mentioned loan
to a Canadian holding company,
which was used to finance the purchase of a real estate company.
The position in Japan increased
$2.9 billion, mainly due to reinvestment of currency translation gains.
The $1.9 billion increase in Australia
mostly reflected widespread growth in
earnings from operations, most of
which were reinvested.
In developing countries, the position increased 18 percent, to $71.2 billion. Over one-half of the increase—
$6.0 billion—was in "other Western
Hemisphere," particularly in Bermuda and the Netherlands Antilles. In
Bermuda, the $3.5 billion increase
partly reflected a large capital contribution and several loans to affiliates
in finance. In the Netherlands Antilles, the increase reflected the continuation of U.S. parents' repayments of
loans to their finance affiliates.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

June 1988

In "other Asia and Pacific/' the position increased $2.4 billion. Most of
the increase was in Hong Kong, particularly in finance and wholesale
trade. It partly reflected the use of affiliates in that country as a base for
expansion elsewhere in the Far East.
In "other Africa/' most the the $0.8
billion increase was in Nigeria and
consisted primarily of equity capital
outflows to petroleum affiliates.
Foreign direct investment in the
United States
The foreign direct investment position in the United States increased 19
percent (a record $41.5 billion) in
1987, to $261.9 billion, following an
equal
rate of growth in 1986 (table
4).3 Growth in 1987 reflected both
continued acquisitions of U.S. businesses by foreign direct investors and
increases in foreign investors' ownership stakes in existing U.S. affiliates.
3. The position is the book value of foreign direct investors' 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.

Factors that contributed to the continued growth in foreign direct investment included dollar depreciation,
continued U.S. real economic growth,
corporate restructuring in the United
States, concerns over U.S. protectionist measures, and the availability of
large dollar holdings in several devel-4
oped countries with trade surpluses.
Capital inflows were $42.0 billion,
an increase of 23 percent from 1986.
An increase in intercompany debt inflows and a shift from negative to
positive reinvested earnings accounted for most of the increase. Equity
4. For a more detailed analysis of these and other
factors affecting foreign direct investment in the
United States, see "U.S. Business Enterprises Acquired or Established by Foreign Direct Investors in
1987," SURVEY 68 (May 1988): 50-54. The data from
BEA's survey of new foreign direct investments in the
United States, summarized in that article, indicate
that outlays to establish or acquire U.S. affiliates decreased to $30.5 billion in 1987, from a record $39.2
billion in 1986. These figures differ from those on
changes in the foreign direct investment position presented here, primarily because they cover only transactions involving the acquisition or establishment of
new U.S. affiliates and because they include financing
other than from the foreign parent, such as local borrowing by existing U.S. affiliates. Changes in the position, in contrast, reflect transactions of existing as
well as new U.S. affiliates, but only if the transactions
are with the foreign parent.

capital inflows increased only slightly
from the very high level in 1986.
Intercompany debt inflows increased $2.7 billion, to $14.0 billion.
The increase was more than accounted for by a British parent's loan of
roughly $5 billion to its U.S. petroleum affiliate. The funds financed part
of a tender offer for the publicly held
stock of the affiliate, which raised the
parent's ownership stake to 100 percent.
Reinvested earnings shifted $4.8 billion to a positive $2.5 billion. The
shift reflected both a reduction in capital losses and an improvement in
earnings before capital gains and
losses. Capital losses fell from $2.1 billion to $0.2 billion. The losses in 1986
were more than accounted for by a
large writedown of the assets of a
U.S. machinery affiliate and the writedown of oil reserves of U.S. petroleum affiliates following the collapse of
oil prices that year. In 1987, capital
losses in petroleum shifted to capital
gains, and capital losses in manufacturing declined substantially. Partly
offsetting was a shift from gains to
losses in insurance, which reflected

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

declines in the value of affiliates*
stock and bond portfolios, particularly
after the October stock market collapse.
Earnings before capital gains and
losses increased $2.6 billion, to $7.0
billion. The increases were more than
accounted for by affiliates in manufacturing and petroleum. They reflected improved performance in these industries, acquisitions of new U.S. affiliates, and increases in the ownership—and, thus, in foreign parents'
shares of the earnings—of existing affiliates. Partly offsetting were a shift
to losses in banking and an increase
in losses in real estate.
Equity capital inflows increased
$0.4 billion, to $25.5 billion. The high
level of inflows in both 1986 and 1987
reflected strong acquisition activity,
as well as increases in ownership of
existing affiliates, by foreign direct investors. Large increases in equity inflows in manufacturing and ' 'other industries" were partly offset by a decline in wholesale trade and a shift to
outflows in insurance.

Substantial portions of intercompany debt inflows financed acquisitions by U.S. affiliates and increases
in foreign parents' ownership in existing U.S. affiliates. The large intercompany debt inflow in petroleum
mentioned earlier was among the
largest ever for either a new investment or an increase in an existing investment. Other large intercompany
debt inflows occurred in manufacturing, wholesale trade, "other industries", and real estate and were dispersed among many affiliates. In
manufacturing, large intercompany
debt inflows (from the United Kingdom and the Netherlands) to a single
U.S. chemical affiliate refinanced the
affiliate's 1986 acquisition of a U.S.
manufacturer of chemical, cosmetic,
and health products.
Reinvested earnings were more
than accounted for by affiliates in
manufacturing, wholesale trade, and
petroleum; affiliates in banking and
real estate had negative reinvested
earnings. In manufacturing, U.S.
chemical affiliates accounted for a
substantial portion of reinvested earnings. European chemical companies—
attracted by strong demand; high
profitability, particularly in speciality
chemicals; and U.S. corporate restructuring—have expanded their U.S. operations over the past few years. The
high earnings that have accompanied
the expansion have tended to be reinvested rather than distributed to foreign parents. In wholesale trade, reinvested earnings were more than accounted for by Canadian-owned affiliates. In petroleum, reinvested earnings reflected the recovery of oil
prices in the first half of 1987 and an
increase in foreign ownership in a
large U.S. affiliate, which boosted the
foreign parent's share of the affiliate's
net income.
By country.—By far the largest
share of the increase in the position,
46 percent, was accounted for by the
United Kingdom. Japan and the
Netherlands accounted for 16 and 15
percent, respectively.
The position of British parents increased $19.0 billion, to $74.9 billion.
The largest increases were in manufacturing (particularly chemicals, machinery, and food), petroleum, and
"other industries." Two major factors
contributed to the surge in investment from the United Kingdom: The

By account.—The $41.5 billion increase in the position in 1987 consisted of capital inflows of $42.0 billion
and negative valuation adjustments of
$0.5 billion. Capital inflows consisted
of equity capital inflows of $25.5 billion, intercompany debt inflows of
$14.0 billion, and reinvested earnings
of $2.5 billion.
Equity capital inflows largely reflected acquisitions of U.S. businesses
by foreign direct investors. Three
large acquisitions, each involving inflows of over $1.0 billion, were financed through equity capital. One
involved the purchase of a large U.S.
employment agency by a smaller British employment agency. Another involved the purchase of a Wisconsinbased brewery by a large Australian
brewery. Finally, a British company
acquired the international hotel division of a large U.S. company that was
divesting most of its nonairline businesses.
In addition, a portion of the inflows
financed increases in foreign investors' ownership of existing affiliates.
The single largest equity capital
inflow, about $1.5 billion, financed the
increase in a Netherlands parent's
equity stake in a manufacturing joint
venture.




June 1988

sharp appreciation of the pound
against the dollar in 1987 and the deregulation of U.K. financial markets.
The latter provided an opportunity
for British parents to finance several
large acquisitions in the United
States by issuing their shares in the
London stock market.
The position of Japanese parents increased $6.5 billion, to $33.4 billion.
The largest increases, which were in
manufacturing and real estate, were
almost entirely related to acquisitions.
The position of Netherlands parents
increased $6.3 billion, to $47.0 billion.
The largest increases were in manufacturing (particularly chemicals), petroleum, and banking and reflected
both acquisition activity by Netherlands parents and transactions involving Netherlands finance affiliates of
direct investors in other countries. In
banking, the Netherlands affiliate of
a Hong Kong bank purchased the remaining shares of its U.S. affiliate.
Smaller inflows from France, Switzerland, and Germany—ranging from
$2.3 to $2.5 billion—accounted for
large percentage increases in the positions of these countries. The position
of French parents increased 32 percent, to $10.2 billion. The increase
was largely accounted for by equity
inflows in manufacturing. Several
French chemical companies made
capital contributions to their U.S. affiliates. In machinery, a French company acquired the consumer electronics business of a large U.S. company
in exchange for the French company's
medical equipment business and cash.
The 19 percent increase, to $14.3
billion, in the position of Swiss parents was primarily in manufacturing.
There was a shift to positive reinvested earnings as well as an equity
inflow to finance the acquisition of a
U.S. confectionery producer by a
Swiss company that manufactures
similar products. The position of
German parents increased 14 percent,
to $19.6 billion. The increase was accounted for by equity capital and intercompany debt inflows related to acquisitions in manufacturing. The
equity inflows financed the acquisition of a U.S. manufacturer of tires
and rubber products and the intercompany debt inflows financed a portion of a U.S. affiliate's purchase of a
U.S. chemical company.

U.S. Multinational Companies: Operations in 1986
MEASURES of the operations of
U.S. multinational companies (MNC's)
diverged in 1986: Assets increased,
sales were virtually unchanged, and
employment and U.S. merchandise
exports and imports associated with
U.S. MNC's declined. Measures that
were denominated in monetary units
tended to be boosted by the depreciation of the U.S. dollar against foreign
currencies, but both the monetary
and employment measures were depressed by the effects of a sharp drop
in petroleum prices and by the sale of
a large minority-owned affiliate. The
net effect of these developments on
the various measures of MNC operations was mixed.
The first part of this article presents these and other highlights
of
U.S. MNC operations in 1986.x The
NOTE.—The 1986 annual survey was conducted under the supervision of Patricia C. Walker,
Chief, Direct Investment Abroad Branch, International Investment Division. David H. Galler
was project leader for the survey. Marie C. Gott
and Arnold Gilbert designed the computer programs for data retrieval and analysis.
1. The estimates presented in this article cover nonbank U.S. parent companies and their nonbank foreign affiliates. A U.S. parent is a U.S. person that
owns or controls, directly or indirectly, 10 percent or
more of the voting securities of an incorporated foreign business enterprise or that owns or controls an
equivalent interest in an unincorporated foreign business enterprise. A foreign affiliate is a foreign business enterprise so owned or controlled. A U.S. MNC
consists of a U.S. parent company and its foreign affiliates.
In the estimates, sales and total assets of MNC's are
shown on an aggregated basis—that is, parent and affiliate data have been summed. The sums contain duplication because of intercompany positions and transactions between parents and affiliates and among affiliates of the same parent. Data needed to derive consolidated sales and assets of MNC's are not available.
The estimates are on a fiscal year basis. An individual parent's or affiliate's 1986 fiscal year is its financial reporting year that had an ending date in calendar year 1986.
The estimates were obtained by expanding, to universe totals, sample data collected in BEA's annual
survey of U.S. direct investment abroad. The sample
data accounted for a large share of the universe estimates of items covered by the survey. Based on employment, for example, sample data accounted for 89
percent of the universe estimate for U.S. parents and
81 percent of the universe estimate for foreign affiliates in 1986.




• Assets of parents in FIRE increased 27 percent, to $1,295 billion.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

trade to finance (except banking), as a
result of a change in the composition
of its sales.2
• Assets of parents in manufacturing increased 10 percent, to $1,409 billion. Within manufacturing, increases
were concentrated in transportation
equipment and in electrical machinery.
• Assets of parents in petroleum declined 22 percent, to $423 billion. The
decline occurred for several reasons,
the most important of which was the
reclassification mentioned earlier.
The decline also reflected selloffs of
unprofitable assets or lines of business not related to petroleum. Finally,
a sharp drop in petroleum prices
caused companies to write down the
book values of inventories and other
assets to bring them into line with
the lower market values.
• Assets of affiliates in manufacturing increased 17 percent, to $450 billion. Within manufacturing, increases
were widespread; the largest increase,
44 percent, was in electrical machinery.
• Assets of affiliates in FIRE increased 15 percent, to $238 billion.
Over one-third of the increase was in
the United Kingdom, where assets
rose in response to the deregulation of
the London Stock Exchange in October 1986. The deregulation resulted in
an expansion of British financial markets and increased participation in
these markets by U.S.- and other foreign-owned (non-British) firms.
• Assets of affiliates in services increased 24 percent, to $26 billion. The
increase was centered in Europe.
Over 40 percent of the increase in
that area was accounted for by affiliates in computer and data processing
services.
• Assets of affiliates in petroleum
declined 4 percent, to $175 billion.
The decline, which was spread among
several countries, largely reflected the
previously mentioned drop in oil

prices. The largest decline was in the
United Kingdom and was accounted
for mainly by affiliates producing
crude oil in the North Sea area. In
that area, the decline was partly due
to a restructuring of intercompany accounts within an MNC: A parent company repaid a large loan from its affiliate; the repayment, in turn, enabled the affiliate to pay a large dividend to the parent, thus drawing
down the affiliate's assets.

2. Industry codes are assigned to the U.S. parent
and each of its foreign affiliates separately. A parent
or affiliate is first classified in the major industry
group that accounts for the largest percentage of its
sales and then in the two- and three-digit industries in
which its sales were largest. In a benchmark year, this
procedure is uniformly applied. Between benchmark
surveys, an entity's classification is changed only if
there is a significant or lasting change in the composition of its sales, so that the classification does not shift
back and forth due to small or transient fluctuations.
The reclassification of the U.S. parent company referred to here reflected an apparently lasting change
in the mix of its activities. For further discussion of
industry classification procedures, see U.S. Direct Investment Abroad: 1982 Benchmark Survey Data, pages
9-10.




June 1988

parents in petroleum; their sales declined 34 percent, to $289 billion. Declines also were recorded in several
other industries. Sales by parents in
FIRE increased 29 percent, to $338
billion, due to strong growth in revenues of finance and insurance companies.
• The increase in sales by affiliates
was spread ^ among several nonpetroleum industries and was concentrated
in developed countries. Much of the
increase appears attributable to the
depreciation of the U.S. dollar against
foreign currencies. In contrast, sales
by affiliates in petroleum declined
substantially as a result of the drop
in oil prices.

Sales
• Worldwide sales by U.S. MNC's
were virtually unchanged, at $3,475
billion. Sales by U.S. parents declined
2 percent, to $2,544 billion. Sales by
foreign affiliates increased 4 percent,
U.S. merchandise trade
to $931 billion.
• The decline in sales by U.S. par• U.S. merchandise exports and iments was more than accounted for by ports associated with U.S. MNC's deData Availability
These estimates are from the 1986 annual survey of U.S. direct investment abroad, which
collected key items on the operations of a sample of nonbank U.S. parent companies and
their nonbank foreign affiliates. (Banks were excluded from the survey.) U.S. direct investment abroad exists when one U.S. person (U.S. parent) has a direct or indirect ownership
interest of 10 percent or more in a foreign business enterprise (foreign affiliate).
The annual survey focuses on the operations of U.S. parents and their foreign affiliates,
and it covers parents' and affiliates' transactions and positions with all parties, not just
with each other. In contrast, data published by BEA on the U.S. direct investment position
abroad and on related capital and income flows cover only positions and transactions between parents and affiliates.
For a more detailed description of the differences between the two sets of data, see the
methodology section in U.S. Direct Investment Abroad: 1982 Benchmark Survey Data, which
may be obtained from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office,
Washington, DC 20402; price $18.00; stock number 003-010-00161-5.
The most recent data on the U.S. direct investment position abroad and on the related
capital and income flows may be found in "The International Investment Position of the
United States in 1987" and "U.S. International Transactions, First Quarter 1988," respectively, in this issue of the SURVEY.
Additional detail from the 1986 annual survey of U.S. direct investment abroad—including estimates of foreign affiliate balance sheets, income statements, and external financial
position and of U.S. parent and foreign affiliate sales and merchandise trade—is available
in U.S. Direct Investment Abroad: Operations of U.S. Parent Companies and Their Foreign
Affiliates, Preliminary 1986 Estimates. Revised estimates for 1983-85 are available in separate publications. These publications, which cost $5.00 each, may be obtained from Economic
and Statistical Analysis/BEA, U.S. Department of Commerce, Citizens and Southern National Bank, 222 Mitchell Street, P.O. Box 100606, Atlanta, GA 30384. Estimates on microcomputer diskette may be ordered from the same address at $80 (four diskettes) for each

shipped by affiliates to all U.S. persons and goods shipped by unaffiliated foreigners to U.S. parents—declined 4 percent, to $147 billion.
• Exports associated with MNC's
accounted for nearly 80 percent of
total U.S. merchandise exports in
1986. The decline in MNC-associated
exports was in exports to unaffiliated
foreigners. It was more than accounted for by parents in petroleum and in
wholesaling of nondurable goods.
• Imports associated with MNC's
accounted for 40 percent of total U.S.
imports in 1986. The decline in MNCassociated imports was more than accounted for by MNC's with U.S. parents in petroleum. In that industry,
U.S. merchandise imports from affiliates and from unaffiliated foreigners
each declined by about 40 percent. Although trade data were not reported
by product in the annual survey, the
declines probably largely represented
a reduction in the dollar value of imported petroleum. Total U.S. petroleum imports (including those by companies that were not U.S. parents) declined 33 percent in 1986.

• Employment by parents in petroleum,
manufacturing,
wholesale
trade, and "other industries" declined. These declines were partly
offset by increases in employment by
parents in FIRE and services. The decline in U.S. parent employment
partly reflected a concentration in industries, such as manufacturing and
petroleum, in which total U.S. employment declined.
• The decline in employment by foreign affiliates was more than accounted for by a U.S. automaker's sale of
its minority interest in a large French
automaker. In the absence of this
sale, employment by affiliates would
have increased slightly.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

MNC Multinational company.
1. In the annual survey, U.S. exports shipped to minorityowned foreign affiliates were not disaggregated by affiliation
of shipper, and U.S. imports shipped by minority-owned foreign affiliates were not disaggregated by affiliation of person
to whom the goods were shipped.
2. Includes exports shipped by U.S. parents to all foreign
affiliates—whether bank or nonbank, majority- or minorityowned, regardless of size—as reported on the U.S. parents'
report forms. Such exports may differ from exports shipped by
parents to affiliates, as reported on the affiliates' forms,
because of differences in timing, valuation, and method of
estimation. (Exports shown as being reported on affiliates'
forms had to be estimated for affiliates that fell below the
exemption levels for the annual survey. Data for exports to
these affiliates were, however, included in the data reported
on the parents' forms.)
3. Includes imports shipped to U.S. parents by all foreign
affiliates—whether bank or nonbank, majority- or minorityowned, regardless of size—as reported on the U.S. parents'
report forms. Such imports may differ from imports shipped by
affiliates to parents, as reported on the affiliates' forms,
because of differences in timing, valuation, and method of

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

June 1988
Text continues from p. 87.

• The largest increases in employment were recorded for affiliates in
Australia, Germany, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Brazil. The largest
declines were in France, Mexico,
South Africa, and Saudi Arabia.
• Employment by majority-owned
foreign affiliates (MOFA's)—those in
which U.S. parents held more than a
50-percent interest—declined 2 percent, to 4.7 million (tables 10-12). The
pattern of changes in employment by
MOFA's by industry and by country
was similar to that of all affiliates
(discussed earlier), except that it was
not affected by the disinvestment in
the minority-owned French automaker.
• In 1986, MOFA's accounted for 75
percent of the employment by all affiliates. Among countries in which affiliate employment was sizable, the
MOFA shares were higher than average in Canada (93 percent), Brazil (92
percent), Germany (84 percent), and
the United Kingdom (83 percent). The
MOFA shares were lower than average in Japan (31 percent), South
Korea (34 percent), and India (35 percent). The countries with lower-thanaverage shares restricted, or had previously restricted, majority ownership
by foreigners. In addition, in some
cases, factors other than government
policy may have influenced the decision to have only a minority interest.
For example, interests in several

Sales of Services
Beginning with 1982, BEA's benchmark and annual surveys of U.S.
direct investment abroad have requested a disaggregation of sales (or
gross operating revenues) of U.S. parents and MQFA's into goods and services. Results for 1982-84 were presented in the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS early last year.3 This part of the
article brings the series up to date
with the revision of estimates for 1984
and the addition of estimates for 1985
and 1986.
For purposes of distributing sales
between goods and services, "services"
are defined as the activities characteristic of a particular group of industries, consisting of the "services" division of the Standard Industrial Classification; petroleum services; FIRE; agricultural services; metal mining services; and transportation, communication, and public utilities. A parent or
affiliate need not be classified in one
of these industries in order to have
sales of services; in fact, a significant
portion of sales of services was accounted for by entities in manufacturing and other goods-producing industries that sold services as a secondary
activity.
The remainder of this part discusses the composition of, and the
growth in, sales of services by U.S.
MNC's in 1986.
Composition of sales
Of total sales by U.S. parents in
1986 of $2,544 billion, $1,834 billion,
or 72 percent, were goods, and $710
billion, or 28 percent, were services
(table 13).4 5 Of total sales by MOFA's
3. See "U.S. Sales of Services to Foreigners,"
SURVEY 67 (January 1987): 22-41. That article contains
a more detailed discussion of methodology, definitions,
and results than is provided here.
4. Most of the sales categories shown in table 13 are
disaggregated by industry of parent or affiliate, or by
country of affiliate, in the publications mentioned in
the accompanying box.
5. In examining U.S. parent sales of goods in table
13, it should be noted that parent sales of goods to foreign persons (which are not separately available) and
U.S. parent merchandise exports (shown in table 2)
are related, but not conceptually identical. The major
difference between them is that, whereas sales are recorded on the basis of the location of the person to
whom the sales are charged, merchandise exports are
recorded on the basis of the location of the person to
whom the goods are shipped. Although the two locations usually are the same, goods are sometimes
charged to a person in one country but shipped to a
person in another. The time of recording a transaction

93
of $720 billion, $638 billion, or 89 percent, were goods, and $83 billion, or
11 percent, were services.
For both parents and MOFA's, most
sales of services were'to customers in
the country of the entity making the
sale (that is, local), reflecting the
need, in many instances, to deliver
services through an entity located
near the customer. Of U.S. parent
sales, 98 percent were to U.S. persons.
Of MOFA sales, nearly 75 percent
were local, 14 percent were to persons
in other foreign countries, and 12 percent were to U.S. persons.
Most sales of services by MNG's to
foreign (non-U.S.) persons were to unaffiliated persons. For U.S. parents,
sales to unaffiliated foreigners^-that
is, to foreign persons other than a
parent's own affiliates—accounted for
three-fourths of sales of services to all
foreigners. For MOFA's, the share of
sales to foreigners that were to unaffiliated persons—that is, to foreign
persons besides other affiliates of the
same parent—was over 85 percent.
Even though total sales of services by
parents were several times larger
than thpse by affiliates, affiliates had
much larger sales to unaffiliated foreigners—$63 billion, compared to $13
billion.
Sales by U.S. parents to unaffiliated
foreigners were concentrated in a few
industries in which cross-border
transactions are a common means of
delivering services to foreign customers. About one-third of the sales were
by parents in transportation, communication, and public utilities. In that
industry group, the sales largely consisted of two types of transactions:
U.S. telecommunications carriers' receipts from foreign carriers for their
share of revenues from transmitting
messages originating abroad to U.S.
destinations, and U.S. airlines' ticket
sales to foreigners. (The ticket sales,
although attributable to U.S. parents,
may have been made largely through
foreign ticket offices of the parents.
In BEA's surveys, such an office is
treated as an extension of the parent,
rather than as a foreign affiliate, if it
services only the parent's own operations.)
may also differ between the two measures, because
goods may not be charged in the same period as they
are shipped. Further differences may arise because of
differences in the sources companies use to compile
the data: sales usually are compiled on the basis of accounting records, whereas merchandise exports usually are compiled on the basis of export declarations or
other shipping documents.

Growth in sales

of goods and a 14-percent increase in
sales of services. The share of services
in total sales rose from 24 percent to
28 percent. It was 23 percent in 1982
and 1983, and 22 percent in 1984. The
decline in the services share in 1984

U.S. parents.—The previously mentioned 2-percent decline in sales by
U.S. parents in 1986 was the net
result of a 7-percent decline in sales

occurred because a major U.S. telephone company divested several regional operating companies that, at
that time, did not have direct investment abroad (and thus were not included in the 1984 estimates). Some of

of investment income.6 In transportation, communication, and public utilities, there was a sizable increase in
sales to U.S. persons, but sales to unaffiliated foreigners declined substantially.

6. In the annual survey, investment income is treated as a service if it is included in sales or gross operating revenues. In finance and insurance, this income is
included in gross operating revenues because it is gen.erated by a primary activity of the company. In most,
other industries, however, investment income is considered an incidental revenue source and is included
In the income statement in a separate "other mcoriie"
category. In order to reflect more accurately services
performed, BEA plans to introduce a three-way breakdown of revenues of parents and MOFA's—into goods,
services, and investment income—beginning with the
next benchmark survey of U.S. direct investment
abroad, which will cover 1989. (Such a breakdown was
introduced in surveys of foreign direct investment in
the United States beginning with the benchmark
survey that covers 1987.)

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

June 1988

Constant-Dollar Inventories, Sales, and Inventory-Sales Ratios for Manufacturing and Trade
Tables 1, 2, and 3 present quarterly and monthly constant-dollar inventories, sales, and inventory-sales ratios, respectively. 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 presents quarterly and monthly inventories for manufacturing by stage of
fabrication.
Quarterly constant-dollar manufacturing and trade inventories, sales,

and inventory-sales ratios for 1984 forward were published in the September 1987 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS. Quarterly and monthly constant-dollar manufacturing and trade inventories, sales, and inventorysales ratios and constant-dollar manufacturing inventories by stage of
fabrication for 1967-87, are available in hard copy at a cost of $100.00
from the National Income and Wealth Division (BE-54), Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. Department of Commerce, Washington, DC 20230.

§ Effective with the release of the January 1988 index, all producer price indexes previously
expressed on a base of 1967 = 100, or any other base through December 1981, have been
rebased to 1982=100. Only indexes with a base later than December 1981 remain unchanged.
Selection of the 1982 period was made to coincide with the reference year of the shipment
weights, which have been taken primarily from the 1982 Census of Manufactures. The last
rebasing of these indexes occurred in February 1971, when the 1967 base was substituted
for the 1957-59 base. Historical data on the new base are available upon request. For producer
price indexes of individual commodities, see respective commodities in the Industry section
beginning p. S-l9. All indexes subject to revision four months after original publication.

unchanged. Selection of the 1982-84 period was made to coincide with the updated expenditure
weights, which are based upon data tabulated from the Consumer Expenditure Surveys for
1982, 1983, and 1984. The last rebasing of these indexes occurred in February 1971, when
the 1967 base was substituted for the 1957-59 base. Historical data on the new base are
available upon request. Beginning with January 1987, data are calculated using 1982-84
expenditure patterns and updated population weights. Additional information regarding
these changes is available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Washington, DC 20212.

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.
t$ 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.
