the BUSINESS SITUATION
Corporate Profits
JL ROFITS from current production—
profits before tax with inventory valuation adjustment (IVA) and capital consumption adjustment (CCAdj)—
increased $4 billion, to $2891/2 billion,
in the first quarter of 1990 after declining $9x/2 billion in the fourth quarter of
1989 (table I).1
Profits of domestic financial corporations, up $7^2 billion, more than
accounted for the first-quarter increase; profits from the rest of the
world declined $3^2 billion, and profits
of domestic nonfinancial corporations
changed little. Real gross product
of domestic nonfinancial corporations
was flat, and profits per unit were unchanged as higher unit costs (mainly
labor costs) offset higher unit prices.
Profits before tax and related
measures.—Profits before tax (PBT) increased $9*/2 billion after declining
$l!/2 billion. The difference between
the $4 billion increase in profits from
current production and the $9x/2 billion
increase in PBT reflected declines in
the IVA and in the CCAdj. (Both adjustments are added to PBT to obtain
the current-production measure.)
The IVA is an estimate of inventory
profits with sign reversed. Inventory
profits increased $lx/2 billion, reflecting a pickup in the rate of increase in
prices of inventoried goods, especially
farm products. The CCAdj, which declined $4*/2 billion, is the difference
between the predominantly tax-based
depreciation measure that underlies
PBT, on the one hand, and BEA's approximation of economic depreciation,
on the other.
Profits tax liability increased almost
$8 billion; as a result, profits after tax
NOTE.—Daniel Larkins prepared this section.
1. Quarterly estimates in the national income and
product accounts are expressed at seasonally adjusted
annual rates, and quarterly changes are differences
between those rates.




(PAT) increased less than $2 billion.
A decline in profits from the rest of
the world, such as occurred in the first
quarter, lowers PBT but does not affect
profits tax liability.
For domestic corporations, PBT increased $13 billion and PAT increased
$5V2 billion (table 1.16 of the "Selected NIPA Tables"). PAT consists
of net dividend payments (that is,
payments less receipts) and undistributed profits. In the first quarter, net dividend payments of domestic corporations increased, in large
part because dividends paid by the
rest of the world, most of which
are received by domestic corporations, declined. Undistributed profits
of domestic corporations—the difference between PAT and net dividend
payments—declined.
Cash flow from current production,
a profits-related measure of internally
generated funds available to corporations for investment, declined $7^2
billion after declining $1 billion.
PBT with IVA but without CCAdj.—
Profits from current production is not
available by industry; PBT with IVA is
the best available measure of industry
profits.
This measure of the profits of domestic financial corporations increased
$8!/2 billion after declining $5 billion.
Losses at savings and loan associa-

tions moderated. Profits of commercial
banks increased after a fourth-quarter
drop that reflected an unusually high
level of loan writeoffs.

Looking Ahead...
• National Income and Product Accounts Revision. Revised estimates for
the 3-year period beginning with the first quarter of 1987 will be presented
in the July SURVEY. Selected data will be available as of July 27.
• U.S. Affiliates of Foreign Companies: Operations in 1988. Data and analysis of the operations in 1988 of foreign-owned U.S. companies, by industry
and by country of foreign owner, will be presented in the July SURVEY. A
discussion of the share of the U.S. economy accounted for by affiliates and
key measures by State will also be presented.
• Annual Revisions of State Personal Income. State personal income for
1987-89 will be presented in the August SURVEY.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
Profits of domestic nonfinancial corporations increased $3^2 billion after
declining $9]/2 billion. In manufacturing, the picture was mixed. For
example, chemical and nonelectric machinery profits increased substantially,
and profits in "other durables" jumped
after the settlement of a fourth-quarter
strike at a major aircraft manufacturer; in contrast, losses in motor ve-




hicles worsened, and profits in food,
petroleum, and "other nondurables"
declined. In wholesale and retail trade,
profits declined, partly reflecting the
increased costs of inventories that were
not fully passed through to prices; in
retail trade, the decline was more than
accounted for by general merchandise
and food stores.

Projected Vacancies
BEA expects to hire additional staffincluding economists, statisticians, and
accountants—in fall 1990. Potentially, the
positions will be in national economic accounting, balance of payments accounting,
and international investment surveys. Applications (Standard Form SF-171) and inquiries may be addressed to Mr. James
J. Hartman, Administrative Officer, Bureau
of Economic Analysis, U.S. Department of
Commerce, Washington, DC 20230.

June 1990

Profits from the rest of the world
declined $31/2 billion after increasing
$9^2 billion. This component of profits measures inflows of profits from
foreign affiliates of U.S. corporations
less outflows of profits from U.S. affiliates of foreign corporations. In the
first quarter, inflows were unchanged,
and outflows, mainly from chemical
affiliates of European firms, increased.

NATIONAL INCOME
AND PRODUCT ACCOUNTS
Selected NIPA Tables
New estimates in this issue: First quarter 1990, revised.
The selected set of 54 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 132 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 July 1988 SURVEY.
The tables shown are available the day of the GNP news release on printouts and diskettes on a subscription basis or from the Commerce Department's
Economic Bulletin Board. Estimates for 1986-88 are in the July 1989 issue of the SURVEY; estimates for 1985 are in the July 1988 issue; estimates
for 1984 are in the July 1987 issue; estimates for 1983 are in the July 1986 issue. Estimates for 1929-82 are in National Income and Product
Accounts, 1929-82: Statistical Tables. For more information, write to National Income and Wealth Division (BE-54), Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S.
Department of Commerce, Washington, DC 20230.
NOTE.—This section of the SURVEY is prepared by the National Income and Wealth Division and the Government Division.

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 fromi In
Internal Revenue Service statistics.

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.

1. Percent changes for 1986 and the first quarter of 1986 reflect discontinuities in the series.
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 CAROL S. CARSON and JEANETTE HONSA

The United Nations System of National Accounts:
An Introduction
The United Nations System of National Accounts (SNA) is not widely
known in the United States. However, interest is growing. Early this year,
a working group on improving economic statistics, chaired by the Chairman
of the Council of Economic Advisers and including the Commerce Department's Under Secretary for Economic Affairs, recommended that the United
States move to the SNA, and the BEA budget now before Congress requests
funds for such a move by the mid-1990's.
The SNA provides a more comprehensive, integrated picture of the economy than the present U.S. economic accounts. In particular, it integrates
the recording of the economy's stocks and flows, both financial and nonfinancial. Thus it provides a better analytical base for policy. Most other
countries follow the SNA, adapting it to fit their economies and statistical systems; were the United States following the SNA, U.S. measures of
economic growth, inflation, the saving rate, and other key policy variables
would be more comparable with those from other countries. Because policy

is increasingly formulated in an international setting, comparability across
countries is becoming even more important. The SNA is currently being
revised to reflect advances in economic accounting in the last 20 years and
the emergence of new economic institutions and policy concerns, and thus
a move by the United States to the SNA over the next few years would be
opportune.
This article introduces the SNA. The first part of the article describes the
SNA as a system, comparing and contrasting it with the U.S. economic accounts in very general terms. The second part presents estimates prepared
by BEA, based on a set of reconciling adjustments, that approximate some
of the major aggregates of the SNA. Although this part focuses on differences, the many similarities in coverage and presentation between BEA's
national income and product accounts and the corresponding part of the
SNA are noteworthy. The third part describes the revision of the SNA that
is currently under way.

Part 1. The SNA as a System

The SNA has had two main goals: To facilitate international comparisons and to serve as a guide to countries as
they develop their own economic accounting systems. Most
countries with market economies use the SNA as a guide.
By doing so, they take advantage of the substantial body
of experience that the SNA represents and increase the
comparability of their estimates with those of other countries. The European Communities adopted a version of the
SNA to be followed by its member countries beginning in
1970. Canada, which—along with the United Kingdom—
cooperated with the United States in developing national
income and product accounts during World War II, follows
the broad outline of the SNA. Japan and Australia moved to
the SNA after the 1968 revision. Until recently, countries
with centrally planned economies followed the System of
Balances of the National Economy, also called the material
product system, or MPS. (This system was developed by an
economic organization of which these countries are members to accord with the theory on which their economies are
based, and it is used by the United Nations to report information from them.) Consistent with their transition to
market-oriented economies, the Soviet Union and a number of the others either are preparing accounts on both an
SNA basis and on an MPS basis or are moving to the SNA.
The SNA aims to record all the stocks and flows that are
defined as part of the economy. Like other sets of economic
accounts, it does so by grouping transactors and transactions in a way that is 2meaningful for economic analysis,
forecasting, and policy,
For transactors, the SNA groups households, governments, and business enterprises (financial and nonfinancial) into sectors (table 1). However, some transactors

1 HE origins of the System of National Accounts (SNA)
can be traced back to some of the same theoretical developments and economic conditions that helped shape the
U.S. accounts during the 1930's and early 1940's. The first
SNA was drafted by a group of experts from various countries (including the United States) under the auspices of
the United Nations and was adopted by the U.N. Statistical Commission in 1953. The 1953 SNA drew on work in
a number of countries and by the predecessor of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. A
central feature was that it placed national income and product totals, which at one time had been the center of interest,
in an integrated system of economic transactions. This system was similar to the five-account summary of the U.S.
national income and product accounts (NIPA's). Like the
U.S. accounts, it defined the economy essentially in terms of
market transactions, and it presented consumption, investment, and saving measures in addition to the income and
product totals. A revision of the SNA in 1968 substantially
extended the U.N. system to include input-output accounts,
flow of funds accounts, and balance sheets.1
NOTE.—Carol S. Carson, who is participating in the revision of the SNA,
wrote the first and third parts of the article. Jeanette Honsa prepared the
SNA-basis estimates and wrote the second part of the article.
1. The publication following that revision, often referred to as the "Blue Book,"
can be taken as representing the present SNA; see United Nations, A System of
National Accounts, Studies in Methods, Series F, No. 2, Rev. 3 (New York: United
Nations, 1968). A subsequent publication rounded out the guidelines on balance
sheets; see United Nations, Provisional International Guidelines on the National
and Sectoral Balance-Sheet and Reconciliation Accounts of the System of National
Accounts, Statistical Papers, Series M, No. 60 (New York: United Nations, 1977).
A useful overview of the present SNA is in National Accounts Statistics: Main Aggregates and Detail Tables, 1986\ see the box "International Estimates of GNP and
GDP."

2. For a discussion of the principles of economic accounting with particular reference to the United States, see "An Introduction to National Economic Accounting"

Helen Stone Tice, is reprinted as Methodology Paper Series MP-1 (Washington, DC:
U.S. Government Printing Office, 1985).

are not easily grouped because they have characteristics
of more than one of these sectors. The SNA deals with
these transactors either by treating them as a separate sector or by combining them with one or more of the other
sectors. Private nonprofit institutions serving households
are grouped into a separate sector. Some unincorporated
enterprises are in the business enterprise sector, and the
others are in the household sector. Foreigners, to the extent that they have transactions with residents, are treated
like a sector, called the rest of the world. In addition, the
SNA groups producing establishments into industries (or
the equivalent).
The SNA groups transactions according to the major
categories of economic activity—production, income and
outlay, capital accumulation, and capital finance. The
transactions—often referred to as "flows"—are supplemented by revaluations for price change; together the
flows and revaluations "explain" the differences between
the opening and closing balance sheets, which record the
stocks of assets and liabilities at a point in time (table 2).
Each group of flows and the stocks are arranged in a
two-sided account in which the totals balance either by
definition or by inclusion of a balancing item. When the
transaction (and associated stock) accounts are set up for
each transactor group, the result is a set of macroeconomic
accounts for the Nation and for the several sectors (and
industries). The SNA aggregates—such as gross product,
saving, and national wealth—are usually a total for an
account or a balancing item. Although the derivation of
aggregates is not the main purpose of the SNA, the agTable 1.—SNA Grouping of Transactors into Sectors

gregates are useful summary indicators for analysis and
comparisons over time and space.
The accounts for the Nation and sectors are supplemented in several ways. A set of tables provides for recording additional information—either detail not easily shown
in account form or information related, but not integral,
to the accounts. Standard classifications are indicated for
industries, the functions of government, household expenditure on goods and services, capital formation, etc. Finally,
guidelines are provided for constant-price measures.
Thus, the SNA provides a comprehensive framework: It
includes measures of production, income, saving and investment, and wealth; it encompasses both domestic and
foreign activities; it links financial and nonfinancial transactions; and it provides for both current and constant-price
measures. Further, the SNA is an integrated system—that
is, the several subsets of accounts use consistent definitions,
classifications, and accounting conventions (valuation, time
of recording, extent of consolidation, extent of netting,
etc.).3
The SNA includes accounts that are separate systems in
the United States. The NIPA's, prepared by BEA, cover
the transactions that are grouped in the SNA as production, income and outlay, and capital accumulation. The
input-output accounts, also prepared by BEA, cover the production accounts by industry. The flow of funds accounts,
prepared by the Federal Reserve Board, cover the financial transactions. Finally, the Federal Reserve Board also
prepares revaluation accounts and balance sheets, but they
only cover the private domestic sectors. (The SNA does not
include balance of payments accounts, but the SNA's restof-the-world transactions and the International Monetary
Fund's balance of payments guidelines have moved closer
together.)
Compared with the U.S. economic accounts, the SNA is
more comprehensive in coverage. The U.S. accounts do not
include a complete set of either revaluation accounts or of
balance sheets. In addition, the SNA is more fully integrated. For the U.S. accounts, the NIPA's and input-output
accounts are integrated conceptually and statistically. The
NIPA's and BEA's balance of payments accounts differ conceptually and statistically, but they are reconciled by a few
regularly published items. The NIPA's and the flow of funds
accounts also differ conceptually and statistically; they are
not fully reconcilable.
The SNA's definitions, classifications, accounting structure, and accounting conventions differ to some extent
from those used in the U.S. accounts. With regard to the
sector definitions, the SNA includes some unincorporated
enterprises in the household sector and treats nonprofit
institutions serving households as a separate sector; the
U.S. accounts include all unincorporated enterprises in the
business sector and include the nonprofits in the household
sector. With regard to accounting structure and conventions, the SNA details the sector accounts more fully. The
SNA presents a set of production, income and outlay, and
capital accumulation accounts for each sector; the usual
NIPA presentation of these accounts is more consolidated,
although the separate sector accounts can be derived. The
NIPA's five-account summary presents, for example, a pro3. In fact, the integration is not yet complete, partly because several unforeseen
problems were encountered in developing guidelines for balance sheets in the decade
following the publication of the guidelines for the flows.

duction account that is consolidated for all sectors combined
with the income and outlay account for the business sector.
These differences and others that will be discussed in
part 2 exist for several reasons. Some arise because the
U.S. system has been constructed to fit the U.S. economy and to use the data that are, or could reasonably be,
available, whereas the SNA is meant to be a universal system without compromises to fit specific national situations.
Some of these differences exist even for countries that follow the SNA. Some other differences are with respect to
economic accounting issues that are generally agreed to
have no "correct" answer (and where concern for international comparability of economic measures might tip the
balance toward the SNA answer).

Part 2.
BEA's Estimates of SNA Aggregates
This part of the article focuses on the subset of SNA
accounts that corresponds to the NIPA's. In doing so, it
moves the comparison and contrast of the SNA and the
U.S. accounts from the general to the specific. This part
serves two purposes. Pragmatically, it explains how the estimates of major U.S. aggregates on an SNA basis published
by the international organizations are reconciled with the
NIPA estimates published by BEA. (See the accompanying
box for references to publications that present U.S. estimates on an SNA basis.) More generally, in explaining the
reconciliations, it introduces several economic accounting
issues, some of which are mentioned again in discussing
the revision of the SNA.




The SNA-basis estimates described in this part are prepared by BEA in response to a questionnaire used by
the United Nations and the Organisation for Economic
Co-operation and Development.4 The annual estimates prepared for this purpose are conversions of the published
NIPA estimates to the SNA basis by a series of reconciling5
adjustments based on underlying detail and related data.
The adjustments are not able to deal with all differences.
In particular, adjustments cannot be made when the information needed to quantify a definitional or classification^!
difference is not currently available. For example, information is not available to adjust inventories to exclude the
kinds of livestock—breeding stock, dairy cattle, animals
raised for wool, etc.—that are treated in the SNA as fixed
capital formation. In addition, some of the adjustments
only roughly approximate the SNA definition or classification. Further, the adjustments do not deal with some other
differences, such as those related to valuation. For example, the SNA records merchandise exports on a "free on

and freight," or c.i.f., basis (with additional f.o.b. information); because of data limitations, BEA records exports and
imports on a "free alongside ship," or f.a.s., basis.
Tables 3 and 4 show how the adjustments affect expenditures on gross domestic product (GDP) and charges against
GDP, respectively. For 1988, the latest year for which there
is a reconciliation, SNA-basis GDP is about three-fourths
of 1 percent less than NIPA-basis GDP; prior to 1986, the
two GDP measures differed by less. These tables also show
some of the differences in magnitudes of the major components and introduce some of the differences in terminology
between the two systems.
The discussion that follows will deal with (1) the principal
measure of production in each system; (2) three differences
between the NIPA's and the SNA that cause differences in
total GDP; (3) some differences that cause NIPA components to differ from their SNA counterparts but that do not
affect total GDP; (4) differences in types of income and in
saving; and (5) differences in presentation.
Principal measure of production

Gross national product (GNP) is the principal measure of
aggregate production in the NIPA's; GDP is the principal
measure in the SNA. The NIPA's focus on GNP, but they
show GDP as a subtotal in a table that presents product
by sector. The SNA includes only GDP, but the U.N. publications show GNP in a reconciliation of commonly used
aggregates.
Gross national product is the market value of goods and
services produced by labor and property supplied by residents of a country, regardless of whether or not that labor
and property is located within the geographical confines of
the country. Gross domestic product is the market value of
goods and services produced by labor and property located
within the geographical confines of the country, regardless
of the residence of that labor and property. The difference
between the two measures is net factor income received
from abroad, which is included in GNP but not in GDP
(table 5). Net factor income received from abroad is the
difference between factor income earned abroad by U.S. residents, on the one hand, and factor income earned in the
United States by foreign residents, on the other; it can,

therefore, be either positive or negative.6 GDP is usually
thought to be preferable for analyzing production and employment, for example, because these variables may need
to be related to a geographic area. GNP may be preferable
for analyzing the sources and disposition of income, because
receipts from and payments to the rest of the world may be
relevant parts of the total picture.
For the United States, annual growth rates of GNP and
GDP differ by less than one-half percentage point because
net factor income received from abroad is small compared
with the rest of the economy. For other countries, however,
the two measures can be quite different. For countries that
have had much more investment from abroad than they
have invested abroad, GDP can be significantly higher than
GNP. For countries that have a sizable number of residents
who work abroad, GNP can be noticeably higher than GDP.
Differences that affect GDP

Government nonmilitary structures and equipment, imputed charges for certain financial services, and Federal
Government pensions affect GDP differently in the NIPA's
than in the SNA. As illustrated in table 5, the treatment of
the first and third of these items has tended to make GDP
higher in the SNA than in the NIPA's in recent years, but
this tendency has been more than offset by the treatment
of the second item.
Government nonmilitary structures and equipment.—-The
NIPA's do not distinguish between government purchases
on current account (that is, "consumption") and government
purchases on capital account (that is, "investment"); all
government purchases are treated as current-account purchases. The SNA does make this distinction. Purchases of
nonmilitary structures and equipment are assigned to the
6. Net factor income from abroad on the SNA basis differs from that on the NIPA
basis: (1) SNA-basis factor incomes do not include reinvested earnings of direct
investors and (2) SNA-basis factor incomes do not include imputed interest (see the
section on the imputation for financial services).

capital account (and included in gross capital formation).
The rationale is that these items yield useful services for
much longer than a single accounting period, and their purchase cannot, therefore, be regarded as a current cost of
that accounting period alone. Other nonmilitary purchases,
along with virtually all military purchases, are assigned
to the current account (and included in government final
consumption expenditure).
Treating government structures and equipment as investment requires that the current account include the
value of the services that the capital assets provide. The
value of these services covers depreciation (that is, the consumption, or using up, of fixed capital) and a net return on
the capital assets. The NIPA treatment can be traced to
the difficulty of estimating these services. In the business
sector, the value of services rendered by capital is reflected
in property incomes, including profit; profit is measured by
subtracting the costs of production from the market value
of output. Because government output is not normally sold
on the market, this calculation cannot be made; the value
of services provided by government capital must be imputed. Although BEA does not make this imputation for
the NIPA's, it does estimate the depreciation on government
assets; the depreciation estimates are part of its capital
stock estimates, which include government structures and
equipment.
In the SNA, only capital consumption is included as a
measure of the value of the services of government assets.
Further, the SNA does not provide for capital consumption
on all government assets. Because of the practical difficulties of making the estimates, capital consumption is not
provided for in the case of government assets such as roads,
dams, breakwaters, or other forms of construction except
structures. This treatment is rationalized by suggesting
that outlays on repair and maintenance may be sufficient
to maintain the assets in their original condition.
Thus, both the NIPA and SNA treatments are reflections
of the practical difficulties of imputing the value of the services of government capital. Several approaches to such
an imputation are available. One approach is to impute a
value to the services of government assets on the basis of
the market value of the services of similar private assets.
The value of the services of government-owned office buildings, for example, might be imputed on the basis of rents
actually earned by privately owned office buildings. (This
procedure is used for the value of services of owner-occupied
residential buildings.) For many government assets, however, close market analogies are not available. Another
approach is a cost-based approach, in which the value of




June 1990

the services is estimated as the sum of depreciation and
an imputed value that is calculated by applying a rate of
return—often a rate on an alternative investment—to the
net stock of government assets. Several groups of U.S.
researchers have applied variants of this approach, using
BEA's depreciation and stock estimates. One of the problems encountered is in determining the appropriate rate of
return to apply to the stock. This difficulty is suggested by
the wide range found by a study that calculated four estimates using alternative assumptions about the rate. For
1979, the estimated value of the services of government
capital in the United States ranged from $90.1 billion to
$163.4 billion, and for the 1969-79 decade, the average annual changes in the four estimates ranged from 8.2 percent
to 11.4 percent.7
Imputation for financial services.—Measuring the product of banking has been a continuing source of bedevilment
to economic accountants. It is probably fair to say that
no single solution to the problem enjoys much enthusiastic support. (Other depository institutions present similar
problems. Historically the issue has been discussed under
the rubric of the "banking" imputation, and terminology for
that discussion is followed here for brevity.) Banks make
explicit charges for some of the services that they render,
but these charges are by no means the bulk of their income.
The bulk of their income is from interest, dividends, and
other property income. Because they pay much less interest than they receive, the application of standard economic
accounting rules to banks leads to small oif negative value
added by the industry.
The view that has been taken in economic accounting is
that banks make implicit charges for other services by paying out to depositors less interest than they earn in the
form of interest, dividends, and other property income on
deposited funds. The SNA and the NIPA's impute an estimate of this implicit charge and include it in the gross
product of banking. The SNA and the NIPA's also impute
an income payment and include it in net interest paid by
banking. In principle, the imputations are equal to the
difference between interest, dividends, and other property
income received on depositors' funds and interest paid on
depositors' funds.
The precise nature of the services for which the value is
imputed is not clear, however. Some explanations refer to
the services of liquidity provided by the financial institution. Others stress checking and bookkeeping services or
safety. In the NIPA's, these services are assumed to be
rendered to depositors; in the SNA, no explicit allocation is
made.
In the NIPA's, the value of these services is allocated
to the accounts of persons, government, business, and the
rest of the world in proportion to the deposit balances of
each sector. For persons and for government, expenditures
are increased by the value of imputed bank service charges
paid, and incomes are increased by the (identical) value
of imputed interest received. The increased expenditures
by these two sectors lead directly to increased GDP. For
businesses that receive imputed interest, in contrast, the
imputation has no effect on GDP: Net interest of these businesses declines by the amount of imputed interest received,

States, 1948-79," The Review of Income and Wealth, Series 30 (September 1984):
346.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

June 1990

but the decline is offset by the (identical) value of imputed
bank service charges paid. For the rest of the world, imputed bank service charges paid by the rest of the world are
considered to be payments for exports of U.S. services, and
higher exports lead directly to higher GDP. These higher
exports are not offset by higher imports because imputed
bank interest received by the rest of the world (representing payments for U.S. imports of capital) is a part of that
sector's factor incomes, which are excluded from GDP.
The SNA does not allocate the imputation to specific sectors. Instead, the SNA treats the entire imputation as
interest paid by banks to a dummy financial industry and as
imputed service charges received by banks from the dummy
industry. Value added by banks increases by the amount
of the imputation, and value added by the dummy industry
is negative in the same amount. As a result, GDP is not
affected by the imputation.
Both the NIPA and the SNA imputations are open to
criticism. Both are complex and difficult to explain and
both assign a value to a service that is not clearly defined.
In addition, the NIPA imputation may be criticized both
for assuming that services are rendered only to depositors
and for assuming that deposit balances (irrespective of the

25

turnover rates) are an appropriate indicator for allocating
those services. The SNA imputation may be criticized for
adopting the artificial device of a dummy industry.
Federal Government pensions.—In the NIPA's, the pension component of compensation of Federal Government
employees is measured by the Federal Government's contributions to pension funds. In the SNA, this component is
measured by the benefits paid by the pension fund.
To determine how to measure the pension component of
employee compensation, the SNA asks two questions. First,
is the pension plan funded—that is, does it maintain its assets separate from the employer's? Second, are the assets
of the pension fund invested only in securities other than
those of the employer? If the answer to either of these questions is "no"—and the answer to the second question is "no"
for Federal Government pension funds, which invest primarily in U.S. Government securities—then the SNA does
not regard the fund as separate from the employer. To
portray the outlays actually made, the SNA measures the
pension component of compensation by benefits paid.
In recent years, as benefits paid have exceeded employer
contributions, the effect of Federal pensions has raised
SNA-basis GDP relative to NIPA-basis GDP.

Some aspects of government activity are treated differently in the NIPA's and the SNA without, however,
affecting GDP. Adjustments that affect components of GDP
without affecting the total are identified as shifts from government to other sectors in table 6. (Table 6 also includes
the other adjustments discussed so far.)
State and local government pension funds.—In the
NIPA's, pension funds for State and local government
employees are classified with government, and their administrative expenses are counted as government purchases of
goods and services. In the SNA, however, these funds are
classified along with private funds in the enterprise sector,
and their administrative expenses are counted as private final consumption instead of government final consumption.8
(The adjustment is labeled "Other" in the personal/private
consumption expenditure reconciliation.) Likewise, saving of these funds is classified as household, instead
of government, saving (see the section on differences in
saving).
Some services provided by government for payment.—
Goods and services provided by government to persons for
payment fall into three general classes. The first two are
treated similarly in the NIPA's and the SNA, but the third
is treated differently.9
First, fees are charged for some services that are strictly
governmental in nature. Examples include fees charged
for passports and drivers licenses. Both the NIPA's and
the SNA treat these transactions similarly; the fees do not
represent private consumption in either framework—they
are a form of nontax payment to government in the NIPA's
and government fee in the SNA.

8. State and local government contributions to pension funds are counted as part
of government compensation in the SNA, just as in the NIPA's.
9. For a discussion of the three classes in the NIPA's, see U.S. Department of
Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis, Government Transactions, Methodology
Paper Series MP-5 (Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, 1988): 5.

26

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Second, government enterprises provide goods and services that are very similar to those that are provided by
private firms, and they charge prices that are designed to
cover a substantial portion of the costs of providing the
good or service. Examples include State liquor stores and
the Tennessee Valley Authority. Purchases by households
(and businesses) from such enterprises are treated no differently than purchases from private suppliers. Purchases
by households enter the NIPA's and the SNA as private
consumption purchases from the business sector.
Third, governments provide some services that are similar to services provided by nonprofit organizations. Examples include services of State universities, government
recreational facilities, and public hospitals. In the NIPA's,
charges for these services are treated as nontax payments
and are not included in personal consumption expenditures. Instead, these services enter GDP as government
purchases, valued at the cost to the government of providing the services. In the SNA, the charges paid are
considered private consumption expenditure; the portion of
the cost of providing these services that is not covered by
consumer payments remains in government consumption
expenditure.
U.S. military grant programs.—In the NIPA's, goods and
services transferred by the U.S. Government to foreign
countries are counted as government purchases. In the
SNA, these transfers are counted as exports. One rationale
for the NIPA treatment is that these transfers are made
primarily to promote the security or other interests of the
United States and are made at the discretion of the U.S.
Government. (The adjustment is labeled "Other" in the
exports reconciliation in table 6.)

June 1990

Differences in types of income and in saving

Types of income.—The discussion of GNP and GDP so far
has dealt with the product (or expenditures) components;
summing these components is the approach to measuring
GNP or GDP most used in the United States. Alternatively,
gross product may be measured by summing value added
across industries. For this approach, both the SNA and the
NIPA's show compensation of employees, the consumption
of fixed capital, and indirect taxes less subsidies as charges
against gross product. However, the two systems differ in
their presentation of the return to capital.
In the SNA, the production account's remaining component of value added, the operating surplus, is defined
as the return to providers of all forms of capital. The
disbursement of the operating surplus, along with other
sources of income, is shown in the income and outlay accounts for the sectors and for the Nation. These accounts
show both receipts and payments of property income (interest, dividends, and rent), of entrepreneurial income, and of
miscellaneous income and transfers.
In the NIPA's, the production account for the Nation
is combined with the income and outlay account for the
business sector. As a result, instead of showing an aggregate return to capital, this account distinguishes corporate
profits, proprietors' income, net interest, rental income of
persons, operating surplus of government enterprises, and
business transfer payments. Moreover, both the dividend
component of corporate profits and interest are measured
net of receipts of similar income.
Saving.—In both the SNA and the NIPA's, saving is
derived as the difference between current receipts and
outlays. Total saving, whether gross or net of capital consumption, is larger in the SNA than in the NIPA's, because,
as previously discussed, the SNA treats government ex-

penditures on nonmilitary structures and equipment as
investment and includes the consumption of this capital in
the current account, where it is included in government
final consumption expenditure.
The allocation of saving among sectors also differs substantially between the SNA and the NIPA's. Table 7 shows
a reconciliation of NIPA and SNA net saving by sector. The
largest sectoral difference is in the treatment of State and
local government pension funds; as mentioned earlier, in
the NIPA's, the saving of these funds is included in government saving, and in the SNA, it is included in household
saving. Because these funds are currently running a substantial surplus, the surplus in State and local government
social insurance funds (and thus government saving) is
lower, and personal saving is higher, in the SNA than in
the NIPA's.
The table also shows two smaller differences. (1) In the
NIPA's, estate and gift taxes are included in personal outlays and in government receipts and thus affect saving of
the two sectors. In the SNA, they are treated as capital
transfers and, therefore, do not affect saving. (2) In the
NIPA's, government enterprises are given a mixed treatment in which some types of transactions are recorded as
if they were part of the government sector and others as if
they were part of the business sector.10 In the SNA, public
enterprises are included in the enterprise sector.
Differences in presentation
The extent of netting.—The SNA does not net offsetting transactions to the same extent as the NIPA's. For
example, the SNA income and outlay account of the enterprise sector shows the receipt of dividends on one side
of the account and the payment of dividends on the other.
In contrast, the NIPA measure of corporate dividends is
net dividends paid (that is, dividends paid less dividends
received). Thus, enterprise income and total outlays in
the SNA are larger than comparable NIPA measures (although this difference in treatment does not change sectoral
saving).
Base year for constant-dollar estimates.—The base year
for calculation of constant-dollar estimates in the international organizations' publications usually differs from
that in BEA's publications. Currently, the U.N. publications show 1980 as the base year; the BEA publications
shows 1982 as the base year. When BE A converts NIPA
1982-dollar estimates to SNA 1980-dollar estimates, the
NIPA estimates are rebased at detailed expenditure levels. The year used for the base period affects the levels
of constant-price GDP (and components) and the rates of
growth calculated from them. Levels of constant-price GDP
usually are higher with a later base period because inflation
reduces the purchasing power of the unit of account—the
dollar, for example—in which it is measured. The later
base period also tends to result in lower rates of growth, reflecting the inverse relationship between price and quantity
changes that generally prevails over long timespans.

Part 3. The Revision of the SNA
The revision of the SNA currently underway is based on
a worldwide review of progress in economic accounting over
the last 20 years and of the needs for domestic and crosscountry analysis and policy formulation. This part first
describes the revision process. Next, it describes some of
the recommendations for revision. It illustrates the definitional and classificational revisions with those that relate
to the issues discussed in part 2, and it summarizes some
of the revisions to the accounting structure that highlight
the comprehensiveness of the SNA and its flexibility. Finally, this part discusses the unresolved issues relating to
the definition of investment and environmental accounting.
Goals and organization of the revision
Early in the process, it was decided that the revision
would not make major conceptual changes or extensions.
Instead, the revision would update the SNA, clarify and
simplify its presentation, and harmonize the SNA with
other international guidelines. The goal of updating the
SNA was to reflect new economic institutions, statistical
developments, and new analytical applications. For example, the SNA does not deal with the value added tax,
which is now widely used in Europe and which poses difficulties for economic accounting. The goal of clarifying
reflects a widely felt need for a publication describing the
system that is easier to understand, and simplifying has
come to be interpreted as the need for a series of handbooks
to explain how the system could be put into practice. The
harmonizing is to be with the guidelines for the System of
Balances of the National Economy, other international statistical systems (such as the Balance of Payments Manual
and A Manual on Government Finance Statistics prepared
by the International Monetary Fund), and international
classification systems (such as the International Standard
Industrial Classification of all Economic Activities and the
Classification of the Functions of Government).
The process has been planned and funded by the United
Nations, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and
Development, the Statistical Office of the European Communities, the International Monetary Fund, and the World
Bank. These organizations, operating through an InterSecretariat Working Group, arranged a series of eight
topical "expert group" meetings beginning in 1986. These
meetings reviewed issues and made recommendations for
revision. The participants reflected the balancing of several
perspectives—producers of economic accounts and users,
economic accounting generalists and specialists, national
statistical offices and international organizations. Five
"core" experts participated in all meetings to provide continuity. Beginning in January 1989, the core experts were
supplemented by six other experts to become the "coordinating group." This group will make recommendations on
unresolved issues, review drafts, and otherwise see the revision through to the end. U.N. consultants—a primary
author and several others doing selected parts—are preparing a draft of the revised SNA manual. The drafting is
largely based on the recommendations made in the expert
group meetings.
As of mid-1990, a provisional draft of the revised SNA
manual and a discussion paper prepared by the InterSecretariat Working Group are being circulated to national

Information About the SNA Revision

The SNA revision process has been extensively documented. Background papers were prepared for each of the expert group meetings,
a summary set of conclusions was agreed upon by each expert group,
and a full report of each meeting was prepared. For a copy of the
summary paper "System of National Accounts (SNA) Review Issues,"
prepared for the 1990 U.N. regional commission meetings, write Mr.
Jan van Tbngeren, National Accounts and Special Projects Branch,

The Conference on Research in Income and Wealth, affiliated with
the National Bureau of Economic Research, is planning a workshop
on the SNA revision. This workshop, scheduled for November 1990,
will be a forum for comment.

statistical offices and will be discussed in meetings of the
U.N. regional commissions. A final draft of the revised
manual, reflecting comments on the provisional draft and
discussions in the coordination group, is to be submitted
to the U.N. Statistical Commission for approval in early
1993. (See the accompanying box for information about
documentation of the revision process and the status of the
recommendations.)
Recommendations for revision
The recommendations—which include several hundred
individual points—range from conceptual issues to specific
treatments. Despite the diversity, several themes have
emerged; they include improving the integration of flows
and stocks, adapting the accounts to portray economies
experiencing inflation, improving the measurement of the
household sector, and updating the treatment of financial
institutions and transactions.
Several of these recommendations are related to issues
discussed in part 2, and they will serve to illustrate the
kinds of definitional and classificational revisions being
considered.
• Reintroduce GNP as one of the family of aggregates.
However, because GNP is derived by adding net factor
income from the rest of the world to GDP, it would be
considered an income aggregate rather than a value
added aggregate (and it may be renamed gross national
income).
• Eliminate for government employee pension funds the
criterion of classification regarding the investment of
funds in the employer's own securities. (If the pension
fund invested only in the employer's securities, it was
classified in the sector of the employer.) Thus, government employee pension funds that have been classified
in the government sector could be classified with other
pension funds in the enterprise sector.
• Broaden the definition of government capital formation to include expenditure on goods purchased for the
military when the expenditure would be capital formation if made by others. Continue to treat as current
expenditure only expenditure on goods used solely as
weapons and means of delivering weapons.
• Introduce the calculation of capital consumption
for government assets such as roads, dams, and
breakwaters.
• Retain the calculation of the imputed bank service
charge as property income received by financial in-




June 1990

termediaries less interest paid and, instead of using
the device of a dummy industry, allocate the service
charge—to be renamed the imputed service charge for
financial intermediation—among final consumption of
government and households, exports and imports, and
intermediate consumption of industry. The allocation
is to be based on the difference between (1) interest
flows actually paid on deposits and received on loans
and (2) corresponding interest flows calculated with
a central "reference" rate (such as an interbank loan
rate or a prime rate). This approach to allocation
recognizes that different uses are accorded differing
amounts of service, reflecting the spread between the
actual interest rate paid or received and the reference
rate.
• Introduce imputed rent on buildings owned and occupied by government. (As yet, however, the recommendation has not been supplemented with an approach to
implementing it.)
The recommendations for the accounting structure are
not independent of the recommendations for the definitions
and classifications; by and large, the accounting structure
can be viewed as implementing the specific definitional and
classificational recommendations. Overall, the accounting structure is seen as having four parts: (1) A central
framework, which consists of a hierarchial structure of classifications, sets of accounts, and sets of tables that together,
as a closed and articulated system, define the SNA; (2) alternative matrix presentations, which are conversions of
the accounts in the central framework; (3) supplementary
analyses, including satellite accounts; and (4) links with
other systems of statistics.
The recommendations for two parts of the structure will
serve to illustrate important characteristics of the revised
system.
The sequence of accounts and the goods and services
accounts.—Within the central framework, the core of the
system is the "sequence of accounts" (table 8). This set
of accounts is pedagogical in intent, rather than for publication of estimates. It demonstrates the comprehensive,
integrated structure that is being recommended: All transactions are recorded in it, and, in principle, the sequence
can be applied to all sectors (and subsectors) as well as to
the Nation.11 A shortened sequence, accounts I and II.l.l,
is to be applied to industries.
The full sequence is an elaboration and refinement of the
set of accounts in the present SNA. (The production and the
income and outlay accounts shown in table 2 correspond to
accounts I and II in table 8; the capital accumulation, capital finance, and revaluation accounts in table 2 correspond
to accounts III.) The elaboration and refinement is particularly noteworthy for the "distribution and use of income
accounts" and the "other changes in assets accounts."
The elaboration of the income accounts (accounts II) is
designed to improve the portrayal of the process of distributing and redistributing income by separating it into
steps. As the first step, the "primary distribution of income accounts" show how value added, from the production
11. However, not all transactions are relevant for all sectors, and, similarly, not all
accounts are relevant for all sectors. For example, the use of income account, account
II.4 in table 8, is relevant for the sectors that engage in final consumption expenditure, but not for the enterprise sectors, which do not engage in final consumption
expenditure.

account, is distributed to labor and capital as factors of
production and to government. Second, the "secondary distribution of income account" brings in cash income flows
not related to production; disposable income is the balancing item. Third, the "redistribution of income in kind
account" brings in social benefits in kind and the value of
services, such as education, provided by government and
nonprofit institutions to individual households; the balancing item is adjusted disposable income. For the use of
income, two subaccounts correspond to the two measures
of disposable income; they record corresponding measures
of consumption—that is, without and with the social benefits in kind—so that they show the same measure of
saving as their balancing items. (The introduction of measures of income and consumption that include the value
of services provided by government and nonprofit institutions to individual households is one of the major proposed
revisions.)
The elaboration of the "other changes in assets accounts"
(accounts III.3) is central to the better integration of flows
and stocks and to the analysis of inflation. These accounts
cover changes other than those from saving and voluntary
transfers of wealth; they cover (1) discovery or depletion of
subsoil assets, destruction by war, natural disasters, etc.,
and (2) changes in the general price level and in relative
prices. The latter is in the revaluation account, which
shows the changes in net worth from changes in the actual prices of assets and liabilities. These nominal holding
gains/losses are then separated into two parts. Changes in
net worth from changes in the general price level—neutral
revaluations—are obtained by applying an index of the
general price level to the opening value of all assets and
liabilities. Changes in net worth from changes in relative




prices—that is, real holding gains/losses—are obtained as
the difference between nominal holding gains/losses and
neutral revaluations.
The central framework also includes a "goods and services account," the key account in a set of accounts that
are called transactions accounts. This account records for
the Nation the total resources (output and imports) and
total uses (intermediate consumption, final consumption,
changes in stocks, gross fixed capital formation, and exports) of goods and services. It is balanced globally—that
is, there is a balance between all resources and all uses.
(In contrast, the other transactions accounts, which present
total resources and total uses for a particular kind of transaction, balance for each kind of transaction.) Thus, the
goods and services account summarizes the information in
the accounts for the sectors to yield a measure of national
expenditure.
Satellite accounts.—One of the general recommendations
is to emphasize "flexibility" in the application of the SNA,
thus recognizing the diversity of the world's economies and
statistical systems. Satellite accounts are one of two major kinds of supplementary analyses designed to implement
this emphasis. (The other is the flexible application of the
central framework—for example, by using the hierarchy of
the central classification to provide more or less detail or
by using a complementary classification.)
A satellite account's basic element of flexibility is that
it can use definitions differing from those in the central
framework as long as they are consistent within the satellite account. Satellite accounts can add information about
a particular aspect of the economy to that in the central
framework; in particular, they can seek to integrate mon-

30

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

etary and physical data. They can arrange information
differently—for example, they can cut across sectors to
assemble information on both intermediate and final consumption. They can use a classification other than the
primary one used in the central framework—for example,
they can identify expenditure on "research in education"
as part of expenditure on research even if it is included in
expenditure on education in the central framework.
The recommendation to include satellite accounts builds
on the experiences of several countries that have constructed satellite accounts, largely on an ad hoc basis, for
such fields as health, education, agriculture, research and
development, and the environment. The draft SNA manual includes a chapter that provides a general framework
and demonstrates how that framework might be used for
some of the fields in which satellite accounts would be most
useful.
Outstanding issues
In several areas, final recommendations have not yet
been made. One of the areas deals with the extension
of the concept of investment, now essentially limited to
outlays on structure and equipment, to include outlays
on research and development (R&D), mineral exploration,
computer software, and intellectual property such as films
and sound recordings.
The discussion about treating R&D as investment is illustrative. The arguments for the change referred to R&D's
kinship with outlays on capital assets in that the purpose
of both is to generate income in future periods. Updating
the definition of capital formation was called for in light
of studies that showed that R&D outlays (and some other
outlays on intangible assets) were important in explaining
economic growth. Several unofficial sets of accounts, including those by Robert Eisner and John W. Kendrick for
the United States, have already included R&D as capital;
a number of the countries where R&D outlays are sizable
have experience with data collection using the guidelines
drawn up by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation
and Development.
The arguments against the change centered on (1) the
high degree of uncertainty of return, which is one of the
reasons given in the SNA to explain the present convention; (2) the major break in continuity of time series in
the countries where most the world's R&D is conducted
(the change would raise GDP by 1 to 2 percent); (3) the
practical difficulties of calculating capital consumption and




June 1990

constant-price estimates; and (4) the difficulty of identifying
the asset created by R&D outlays. Further, the conceptual basis for including R&D outlays but not some other
outlays—such as on education and on literary and artistic
work (for example, films and sound recordings)—was questioned. Initially, the recommendation had been to include
R&D outlays as investment. Recently, an additional difficulty has come to light: The guidelines for balance sheets
include patents (once purchased and sold), so including both
what might be called R&D assets and patents would lead
to double-counting. Thus, the earlier recommendation is
being reviewed.
The treatment to be given natural resources and the environment in the revised SNA is another area in which final
recommendations have not yet been made. The SNA is criticized because GDP, as now measured, is seen as flawed
in the way it treats environmental protection costs and the
degradation and depletion of natural resources. Adjustments for "defensive expenditures" to restore and protect
the environment and for depletion and degradation of natural resources are called for; only with the adjustments, it
is argued, will a country know the maximum amount that
can be consumed without causing impoverishment in the
long run.
Especially since the early 1980's, international organizations have made a substantial effort to develop environmental accounting. So far, there has not been agreement on
a recommendation to include any of the suggested frameworks for environmental accounting in the new manual.
The argument that has prevailed is that too many questions of identifying, defining, and measuring environmental
issues are as yet unresolved. Instead, the recommendation
so far is that the new manual should stress that GDP is
not a measure of welfare and that care should be taken in
interpreting the accounts. More specifically, the new manual is to discuss the interpretation of the main aggregates,
such as GDP, in relation to environmental degradation,
depletion, and defensive expenditures.
However, it is acknowledged that interest in environmental accounting is growing. Concurrently, work in
environmental accounting continues, and the field may
have progressed substantially by the time the new manual
is near completion. Two issues remain unresolved. What
balance should the new SNA manual strike in describing
the strengths and weaknesses of GDP? Can and should
a framework for environmental accounting, including an
adjusted measure of GDP, be featured in introducing and
explaining satellite accounts?

U.S. Multinational Companies: Operations in 1988
IN 1988, operations of U.S. multinational companies (MNC's) continued
to grow, but at a slower pace than
in 1987. Assets of U.S. MNC's increased 5 percent, compared with a
12-percent increase in 1987, as the assets of both U.S. parents and their
foreign affiliates grew more slowly (table 1). Sales by MNC's grew 7 percent after an 8-percent increase, and
employment was virtually unchanged
after a 1-percent increase. The slowdown in sales and employment was
much less than that in assets, because
slower or negative growth for U.S. parents was largely offset by faster growth
for foreign affiliates.
Parent companies' assets increased
4 percent after a 10-percent increase.
Their sales increased 5 percent after
a 6-percent increase, and their employment fell slightly after a 1-percent
increase.
Affiliates' assets increased 8 percent,
compared with a 19-percent increase in
1987. In contrast, employment and, to
a lesser extent, sales of foreign affiliates accelerated. Affiliate employment
increased 2 percent after a year of
negligible growth; the 1988 increase,
although modest, was the largest since
this data series began in 1983. After
increasing 13 percent in 1987, affiliate
sales increased 14 percent—also the
largest increase since 1983.
Affiliate assets and sales were probably affected by changes in the value
of the U.S. dollar against major foreign currencies. In 1984-87, the dollar
values of these measures were probably raised by rapid dollar depreciation,
NOTE.—The 1988 annual survey of U.S. direct
investment abroad was conducted under the
supervision of Patricia C. Walker, Chief, Direct Investment Abroad Branch, International
Investment Division. David H. Galler, Chief,
Annual and Benchmark Surveys Section, was
project leader for the survey. Marie C. Gott and
Arnold Gilbert designed and ran the computer
programs for data retrieval and analysis.




whereas, in 1988, the dollar's value
was relatively more stable. Thus, in
the absence of exchange-rate changes,
the growth in affiliate assets and sales
in 1988 probably would have been
stronger.

The expansion of overseas operations in 1988—as measured by employment, which is not directly affected
by currency fluctuations—may have
been encouraged
by rising profitability abroad.1 Overseas profits of U.S.
MNC's rose worldwide, but most notably in Europe and Southeast Asia.
In Southeast Asia, for example, improved profitability was fueled by rapid
economic development and increases in
per capita spending.
Classification changes.—Data for U.S.
parent companies were significantly
affected by industry ^classifications.
Continued merger and acquisition activity in the United States led to
changes in the classification of parent
companies whose principal business
activity shifted because of the merger
or acquisition. In addition, the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards
Board Statement Number 94 (FASB94) in October 1987 required parent
companies to consolidate all of their
majority-owned subsidiaries on their financial statements for fiscal years ending on or after December 15,1988. Previously, firms were not required to consolidate domestic subsidiaries whose
operations differed substantially from
those of the parents. BEA had allowed
these subsidiaries to file separate reports and had treated them as separate
U.S. parent companies. With this accounting change, a number of large
U.S. parent companies in the survey
sample were consolidated. In all cases,
the parents consolidated were previously classified in separate industries,
1. For majority-owned foreign affiliates (MOFA's)—
affiliates in which the combined ownership of all U.S.
parents exceeds 50 percent—net income rose from 14
percent of owners' equity in 1986 and 15 percent in
1987 to 18 percent in 1988. Although this measure of
profitability is subject to several limitations—including
its use of book values rather than current values
in calculating owners' equity and its applicability to
existing investments rather than to the new investments being considered—the increases probably raised
MNC's expectations about the profitability of additional
investments.

Data Availability
These estimates are based on data from BEA's 1988 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). The annual survey covers the overall operations of parents and affiliates and includes their transactions and positions with
all parties, not just with each other. However, data published by BEA on the U.S. direct investment position abroad and on related
capital and income flows included in the U.S. balance of payments accounts cover only the 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 National Technical Information Service (NTIS), 5285 Port
Royal Road, Springfield, VA 22161; price $45.00 (plus $3.00 for handling); accession number NTIS PB86-169117. NTIS orders may
be placed by telephone at (703) 487-4650 and may be charged on major credit cards.
The most recent data on the U.S. direct investment position abroad and on the related capital and income flows may be found in
"International Investment Position: Component Detail for 1989" and "U.S. International Transactions, First Quarter 1990," respectively, hi this issue of the SURVEY. Additional detail from the annual survey of U.S. direct investment abroad—including estimates of
U.S. parent and foreign affiliate balance sheets, income statements, sales, and merchandise trade and the external financial position
of affiliates—is available in the publications listed below. The publications for 1983-85 and the diskettes for 1983-88 may be obtained

whereas the new parent was classified in the single industry in which
the consolidated entity's sales were
largest.2
Organization of the article.—This
article discusses selected measures—
employment, assets, U.S. merchandise
trade, and sales—of MNC operations
in 1988. Other measures were also collected in the annual BEA survey upon
which the estimates are based. Some
of them are shown in the accompanying tables, and others are available
in separate publications or on diskette
(see box). All of the estimates cover
nonbank U.S. parent companies and
their nonbank foreign affiliates.3
Employment
Employment by U.S. MNC's worldwide remained virtually unchanged in
1988, at 24.3 million workers, because
of offsetting changes in parent and affiliate employment (table 2). While
parent employment decreased slightly,
to 17.9 million, affiliate employment
increased 2 percent, to 6.4 million.
U.S. parents.—For U.S. parents, decreases in employment in manufacturing and petroleum were partly offset by
an increase in employment in services
(tables 3 and 4). In manufacturing, the
largest decreases were in foods, electrical machinery, and transportation
equipment. In both foods and electrical
machinery, divestitures accounted for
much of the decrease. In transportation equipment, the decrease reflected
falling auto production, increasing reliance on outside suppliers for parts,
and advances in factory automation; in
addition, an auto parts manufacturer
sold off several unrelated product lines.
In petroleum, the decline in employment partly reflected the reclassification of a large parent firm to finance af2. For example, the domestic finance subsidiaries
of two U.S. auto manufacturers, which had previously
been treated as separate U.S. parent companies in
finance, were consolidated with the U.S. auto manufacturers and were reclassified to transportation equipment manufacturing. In nearly all cases, these changes
affect only the classification of U.S. parent companies
for 1988 forward; although early application of FASB-94
was encouraged, few companies voluntarily submitted
revised data to BEA for 1987.
3. 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 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. The data needed to de-

ter it was consolidated with its domestic finance subsidiary in accordance
with FASB-94. The increase in employment in services resulted from the
expansion of a temporary-employment
services franchise and the entry of a
new parent company in armored car
services into the survey universe.
Foreign affiliates.—Foreign affiliates,
unlike their U.S. parent firms, increased their employment in 1988 (tables 5-7). Nearly two-thirds of the
increase was in Canada, where major
acquisitions were made, and in Australia, where labor intensive industries
stepped up operations. In Canada,
the increases were spread among several industries; significant increases
resulted from the purchase of a Canadian natural gas producer by a U.S.
petroleum company, the establishment
of a major soft drink manufacturer,
and expansions of retail trade affiliates. In Australia, retail trade affiliates were largely responsible for the
increase.
Significant employment growth also
occurred in some Latin American countries, such as Mexico and Chile, and
in virtually all of the newly industrialized countries of Southeast Asia.
In Mexico, affiliates producing automotive parts, household appliances,
and electrical machinery accounted for
most of the increase. Nearly all these
affiliates, which were mainly engaged
in labor-intensive assembly operations,
were located near the U.S. border and
were taking part in the Mexican Government's maquiladora program. Under this program, U.S. producers have
been able to export components free of
customs duties to Mexican affiliates for
assembly, if at least 80 percent of the
finished goods are exported back to the
United States. U.S. duties on the goods
are levied only on the value added in
Mexico. In Chile, nearly one-half of
the increase in employment resulted
from the establishment of new affiliates; the new investments may have
been encouraged by the country's relatively favorable business climate and
pro-foreign-investment policies.
In the newly industrialized countries
of Southeast Asia, roughly one-half
of the increase occurred in industries
serving the local market, namely snack
rive 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 1988 fiscal year is its
financial reporting year that ended in calendar year
1988. The estimates were obtained by expanding the
sample data collected in BEA's annual survey of U.S.
direct investment abroad to universe totals.

foods, soft drinks, and fast food franchises. The remaining one-half largely
resulted from expansion by producers of computer memory chips in the
electrical components and accessories
industry.
In contrast, affiliate employment declined in South Africa. The decline was
widespread by industry but was most
pronounced in metal mining and manufacturing, which partly reflected the
sale of foreign affiliates.
By industry, employment growth
was widespread; the largest increases
occurred in "other industries";4 in services; in finance (except banking), insurance, and real estate (FIRE (except banking)); and in manufacturing. "Other industries" accounted for
nearly one-half of the overall increase.
The rapid overseas expansion of a discount department store chain and a
fast food chain and the establishment
of a large construction firm in the
United Kingdom were primarily responsible for the increase in "other
industries." In services, the increases
were mainly in Canada and the European Communities (EC(12)). The establishment of new affiliates—a Canadian armored transport services affiliate and advertising and telecommunications affiliates in various EC(12)
countries—accounted for most of these
increases. Also contributing to the
increases in services was the establishment of an architectural affiliate in
Central America.
In FIRE (except banking), the
largest increase occurred in Japan,
where brokerage affiliates expanded
their operations following their 1987
admission to the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Employment also grew substantially in Canada, reflecting, in
part, the acquisition of a large real
estate firm by a U.S. parent company. In manufacturing, affiliates in
chemicals and transportation equipment more than accounted for the increase. In chemicals, nearly all of
the increase occurred in the EC(12).
Over one-half of that increase involved
new ventures, either acquired or established. In transportation equipment,
one-third of the increase in employment occurred in Mexico and mainly
reflected U.S. auto manufacturers' increased production of components in
Text continues on page 39.
4. "Other industries" consists of agriculture, forestry
and fishing; mining; construction; transportation,
communication, and public utilities; and retail trade.

their maquiladora plants. Automakers also increased employment at their
other Mexican plants, in part to increase production of automobiles for
export to the U.S. market. Mexican automobile exports to the United
States—mostly from affiliates of U.S.
companies—grew 30 percent in 1988.
MOFA's.—In 1988, MOFA's employed 4.8 million workers, or 74 percent of total foreign affiliate employment (tables 8-10). For some purposes, analysis of MOFA's is preferable
to that of all nonbank affiliates, because MOFA's represent operations in
which U.S.
MNC's have a controlling
interest.5 In addition, more detailed
data are collected for MOFA's than for
other affiliates.
Of countries having total affiliate
employment of more than 50,000 persons, the MOFA shares were much
higher than average in Malaysia (92
percent), Canada (91 percent), and
Singapore (90 percent). The MOFA
shares were lower than average in India (20 percent), Japan (34 percent),
and South Korea (39 percent).
Employment by MOFA's generally
followed the same industry pattern as
that of employment by all affiliates.
MOFA employment grew in all major industries; the largest growth occurred in manufacturing and "other
industries," and the smallest growth
occurred in petroleum and wholesale
trade.
Assets
Worldwide assets of U.S. MNC's
grew 5 percent in 1988, to $5,557 billion, after increasing 10 percent in
1986 and 12 percent in 1987. Assets
of foreign affiliates grew faster than
those of their parents for the third
consecutive year.
As mentioned earlier, increases in
affiliate assets during 1984-87 probably were affected by the rapid decline
in the value of the U.S. dollar in that
period. Affiliate assets increased 10
percent in 1985, 12 percent in 1986,
and 19 percent in 1987; rates of decline in the value of the dollar during
this period were of about the same or
5. Although U.S. MNC's often prefer to hold a controlling interest in their affiliates, many considerations
could lead them to have a minority share in a foreign enterprise. In some cases, host governments may restrict
foreign ownership of domestic firms. In other cases,
U.S. MNC's may acquire minority interests to share designs, technology, marketing networks, or production
facilities with foreign firms.

greater magnitude.6 Thus, absent the
translation effects, the increases in affiliate assets, if any, would probably
have been much smaller. In contrast,
the dollar was relatively more stable
in 1988; thus, the growth in affiliate
assets in 1988 probably would have
been stronger if the effects of these
exchange-rate changes were excluded.
U.S. parents.—Assets of U.S. parents increased 4 percent, to $4,353
billion. Merger and acquisition activity
contributed to this increase by bringing
new companies into the survey sample
and by causing parent company assets
to be revalued to reflect what the purchaser paid for them, including any
premium for "goodwill."7
6. On a trade-weighted basis against the currencies
of 10 industrial countries, from December to December, the U.S. dollar depreciated 16 percent in 1985,
15 percent in 1986, and 17 percent in 1987; it appreciated 4 percent in 1988. For assets, December-toDecember exchange-rate changes provide an approximate measure of currency translation effects because,
in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards
Board Statement Number 52 (FASB-52), assets denominated in foreign, currencies are translated using
end-of-fiscal-year rates.
7. For accounting purposes, any premium paid for an
acquired company's assets beyond their book value is
treated as an increase in the assets of the consolidated
firm. Part of this premium represents a restatement of
the acquired company's assets from book value to fair
market value. Any premium remaining is recorded as
"goodwill," which is considered an amortizable, intangible asset. In mergers and acquisitions between large
parent companies, billions of dollars in goodwill may be
generated. If the premium is not sufficient to raise the
assets to their fair market value, negative goodwill is
recorded.

39

Roughly 60 percent of the increase
in parent company assets was in FIRE
(except banking). This increase was related to the wave of mergers and acquisitions in the brokerage industry that
followed the collapse of stock prices
in October 1987.
Factors prompting the mergers and acquisitions included the acquired firms' need for cash
and the substantial declines in their
stock prices, which made them more
attractive candidates for acquisition.
Several large transactions resulted in
new companies entering the survey
universe.
U.S. parents in manufacturing accounted for most of the remaining increase in assets. The largest increases
were in chemicals, foods, and "other
manufacturing." In chemicals, most
of the increase resulted from the acquisition of an MNC cosmetics manufacturer by a non-MNC holding company. In food, the substantial increase
resulted from the goodwill generated
when one large U.S. parent acquired
another. In "other manufacturing," the
increases were mainly in the paper,
tobacco, and lumber industries. The
increase in paper manufacturing was
due to the expansion of production facilities and the entry of a new parent
firm into the survey universe. In tobacco manufacturing, the merger of a
U.S. parent in cigarette manufacturing
and a U.S. insurance company not previously in the survey universe caused
the increase in assets. In lumber
manufacturing, the increase in parent assets reflected the construction of
new production facilities and a rise in
mortgage loans issued by a diversified
parent.
The increases in manufacturing and
FIRE (except banking) were partly offset by a decrease in petroleum. The
decrease mainly reflected the sale of
assets by two petroleum parents in
1988. One sold its department store
chain, and the other sold various assets
as part of its post-bankruptcy restructuring. The previously mentioned reclassification of a petroleum wholesaling parent to finance also contributed
to the decline.
Foreign affiliates.—Assets of foreign
affiliates rose 8 percent, to $1,204 billion. Affiliates in FIRE (except banking) accounted for 58 percent of the
increase, more than one-half of which
was in the EC(12). Assets of Japanese
affiliates increased 64 percent, largely

in response to a brokerage firm's expansion following its 1987 admission to
the Tokyo Stock Exchange. In Canada,
assets of affiliates in FIRE (except
banking) were boosted by the acquisition of a major Canadian real estate
developer by a U.S. parent.
Assets of manufacturing affiliates
also increased substantially; the largest
increases were in Japan, "other Asia
and Pacific," Latin America, and
Canada. In Japan and "other Asia and
Pacific," minority-owned firms were responsible for virtually all of the increase. In Latin America, assets of
manufacturing affiliates increased 10
percent—the most rapid increase since
this survey began in 1983. The construction of new facilities and the
expansion of existing ones in Chile
and Brazil accounted for a significant
part of the increase. In Chile, one
of the largest new ventures was financed through the Chilean Government's debt-for-equity-swap plan.8 In
Canada, the stock of plant and equipment grew rapidly as many new affiliates were established and as existing
affiliates expanded capacity.
U.S. merchandise trade

U.S. merchandise exports and imports associated with U.S. MNC's increased in 1988 for the second consecutive year (table 11). Unlike in 1987,
however, MNC-associated U.S. exports
grew faster than MNC-associated U.S.
imports. Exports—the sum of goods
shipped to affiliates by all U.S. persons and goods shipped to unaffiliated
foreigners by U.S. parents—increased
20 percent, to $215 billion. Imports—
the sum of goods shipped by affiliates to all U.S. persons and goods
shipped by unaffiliated foreigners to
U.S. parents—increased 8 percent, to
$180 billion.
The increase in MNC-associated exports was fairly evenly split between
exports shipped to affiliates and those
shipped to unaffiliated foreigners. Parents in manufacturing and wholesale

been able to purchase Chilean Government debt from
the original lenders at a discount and then redeem the
debt at the Chilean central bank at a rate closer to its
face value. In most cases, the currency earned must
then be invested in local businesses.

Imports shipped by affiliates to their
U.S. parents accounted for more than
four-fifths of the total increase in
MNC-associated imports.
Imports
shipped to U.S. parents in manufacturing more than accounted for the
increase, which was partly offset by a
decline in imports shipped to parents
in petroleum. U.S. imports associated
with MNC's accounted for 41 percent
of total U.S. merchandise imports in
1988.10
Sales

Sales by U.S. MNC's increased 7
percent, to $4,022 billion, after an 8percent increase in 1987. Affiliates'
sales grew faster than those of their
parents—14 percent, compared with
5 percent—and accounted for most of
the overall increase. As was the case
with assets, the increase in affiliates'
sales in 1988 might have been significantly larger were11it not for currency
translation effects.

9. The data on total U.S. exports, including reexports
and military grant shipments, used in this comparison
are on a Census basis.
10. The data on total U.S. imports used in this
comparison are on a Census Bureau basis.
11. On a trade-weighted basis against the currencies
of 10 industrial countries, the average monthly value of
the U.S. dollar declined 14 percent in 1987 and 4 percent in 1988. For affiliate sales, unlike for their assets,
average monthly exchange rates provide an appropriate measure of currency translation effects, because,
in accordance with FASB-52, sales denominated in foreign currencies are translated using weighted average
exchange rates for the year.

June 1990

Sales by U.S. parents increased 5
percent, to $2,827 billion. Increases
were widespread by industry; the only
significant decline occurred in petroleum.
Manufacturing parents accounted for two-thirds of the increase;
the largest increases occurred in transportation equipment, chemicals, nonelectrical machinery, and "other manufacturing." In transportation equipment, the increase was largely due
to the consolidation of U.S. automakers and their domestic finance subsidiaries in accordance with FASB94.
In chemicals, sales growth
was widespread as a result of rising demand. In nonelectrical machinery, computer manufacturers had the
largest increase; however, the rate of
growth was faster in farm equipment
manufacturing—because of rising agricultural exports—and in construction
equipment manufacturing—because of
rising U.S. home sales. In "other
manufacturing," U.S. parents in instruments and related products, paper, and lumber had the largest sales
increases. In instruments, a domestic finance subsidiary was consolidated
with its parent firm. In paper and lumber, the increases reflected favorable
markets. In petroleum, the decline resulted from the previously mentioned
divestments of assets.
Sales by foreign affiliates grew 14
percent, to $1,194 billion. Manufacturing affiliates had the largest and most
rapid sales growth. Sales by affiliates
in wholesale trade and services also increased substantially. In these three
industries, sales increased worldwide,
but growth was particularly rapid in
Southeast Asia, Latin America, and
Canada.
In manufacturing, well over one-half
of the increase by Japanese affiliates
was generated by minority-owned auto
manufacturing affiliates; in addition, a
computer manufacturing affiliate substantially increased its local sales. In
"other Asia and Pacific," most of the
rise in sales resulted from affiliates'

The divergent effects of currency translation on affiliate assets and sales in 1988 reflected differences
between the movements in December-to-December and
average monthly exchange rates. During 1987-88, the
dollar reached its lowest value in December 1987; thus,
the December-to-December comparison used for assets
showed the dollar appreciating. However, the dollar's
average value for the year, used for sales, was higher
in 1988.
Although these changes in exchange rates probably
boosted affiliates' sales in both 1987 and 1988, the effect
was proportionately larger in 1987.

increased non local sales by affiliates
engaged in marketing products produced in Southeast Asia, such as toys,
tropical fruits, and tires. In Latin
America, non local sales by commodity
brokers in the Caribbean and by agricultural brokers and computer manufacturers in Central and South America accounted for much of the sales
increase.
In services, sales by affiliates grew
most rapidly in Japan and Canada.
The increased sales reflected new investments in the motion picture industry in both countries. Rising sales by a
Japanese film processing affiliate and

worldwide exports of computer equipment and semiconductors. In Latin
America, local sales of automobiles,
computers, and food products largely
accounted for the increase. In Canada,
rising transportation equipment sales
in both the domestic and U.S. markets accounted for nearly one-half of
the increase.
In wholesale trade, the increase
in sales by Japanese affiliates was
mostly generated by wholesalers of automobiles, computers, and nondurable
goods—chiefly, cigarettes. Increases in
"other Asia and Pacific" were concentrated in Hong Kong; they reflected

the establishment of a Canadian architectural affiliate also contributed to the
increases.
Petroleum was the only major industry in which affiliates' sales fell.
Most of the decline was in Europe;
it resulted from the divestiture of a
large West German petroleum affiliate and from widespread overcapacity
in the European oil refining industry. In most other areas, declines
reflected falling oil prices resulting
from overproduction in some OPEC
countries.

by U.S. MNC's.12 The collection of information on such sales is part of a
larger BEA effort to improve and expand the information it provides on
international sales of services.
Of the $2,827 billion in sales by nonbank U.S. parent companies in 1988,
goods accounted for 71 percent, and
services for 29 percent (table 12).13 Of
the $928 billion in sales by MOFA's,

12. For purposes of distributing sales between goods
and services, "services" are defined as activities characteristic of a particular group of industries: The
"services" division of the Standard Industrial Classification, petroleum services, FIRE (except banking),
agricultural services, metal mining services, and transportation, communication, and public utilities. A parent
or affiliate need not be classified in one of these industries to have sales of services; in fact, a significant
portion of sales of services is accounted for by entities
in manufacturing and other goods-producing industries
that sell services as a secondary activity. Additional
details on the methodology underlying BEA's data on
sales of services by MNC's are in "U.S. Sales of Services
to Foreigners," SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS 67 (January
1987): 22-41.
13. In examining U.S. parent sales of goods in table
12, 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 11)
are similar, but not conceptually identical. The major
difference between them is that sales are recorded on
the basis of the location of the person to whom the sales
are charged and 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 may also differ between the
two measures, because goods may not be charged in the
same period that they are shipped. Further differences




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
goods accounted for 88 percent, and
services for 12 percent.
Of total U.S. parent sales of services to foreigners, 77 percent were
to unaffiliated foreigners. These sales
increased 54 percent in 1988, to $16
billion. Most of the increase occurred
in services industries, chiefly business
information services, brokerage, insurance, air travel, and telecommunications. However, some of the fastest
growth occurred in manufacturing industries, where exports of services are
less common. The growth largely reflected a new U.S. venture by a chemical manufacturing parent to supply
services to the petroleum processing industry at home and abroad and the
acquisition of a U.S. international engineering services firm by a construction
equipment manufacturer.
Sales of services by parent companies to U.S. persons increased much
less rapidly—only 5 percent—in 1988.
Parent companies in FIRE (except
banking) accounted for a large share—
37 percent—of the total increase,
mainly because of the previously mentioned mergers and acquisitions. A
related increase occurred in manufacmay 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.

turing; it reflected the consolidation of
an electronic equipment manufacturer
and its domestic finance subsidiary in
accordance with FASB-94. Much of
the remaining increase occurred in various services industries; one of the
largest increases resulted from the entry of a new U.S. parent company into
the survey universe when a regional
telephone company acquired its first
foreign affiliate.
For MOFA's, sales of services increased 14 percent. However, the
services share of total MOFA sales
remained virtually unchanged at 12
percent. In the 4 previous years, in
contrast, sales of services grew faster
than sales of goods, and services' share
of total MOFA sales increased.
Sales to unaffiliated foreign (nonU.S.) persons accounted for nearly all
of the increase in sales of services
by MOFA's. MOFA's in FIRE (except
banking), services, wholesale trade,
and manufacturing had the largest increases. In FIRE (except banking), the
increase reflected the previously mentioned acquisition of a Canadian real
estate firm and rising foreign sales by
MOFA's in life insurance. In services,
it reflected the establishment of new
advertising affiliates in the EC(12). In
both wholesale trade and manufacturing, affiliates of computer companies
increased their sales of user-support
services.

By JEFFREY H. LOWE

Gross Product of U,S, Affiliates of Foreign Companies, 1977-87
THIS

article presents estimates of
gross product (value added) of nonbank
U.S. affiliates of foreign companies—
the affiliates' contribution to U.S. gross
domestic product (GDP)—for 197787.l Gross product is an economic
accounting measure of production. For
an individual business, it can be defined as sales plus inventory change,
less purchases from other businesses.
Thus, it measures value added by the
business. It can also be defined as the
sum of income from current production
plus certain nonfactor charges. For
affiliates, the major types of income
are employee compensation, profit-type
return, and net interest; nonfactor
charges are indirect business taxes
and capital consumption allowances.
The estimates presented in this article were prepared by summing these
items.
Estimates of affiliate gross product
are useful in measuring the size and
economic impact of affiliates on the
U.S. economy as a whole and on individual U.S. industries. Although
sales by affiliates can also be used
to measure this impact, gross product is a preferable measure for some
purposes. Gross product indicates the
extent to which affiliates' sales result
from their own production rather than
from production that originates elsewhere, whereas sales data do not distinguish between these two sources of
production. In addition, gross product estimates measure the value added
to the economy by affiliates in a specific time period. In contrast, sales in
a given period may represent production of earlier periods, that is, out of
inventory.
The gross product estimates, while
useful measures of U.S. GDP at-

1. A U.S. affiliate is a U.S. business enterprise in
which a single foreign person owns or controls, directly
or indirectly, 10 percent or more of the voting securities
of an incorporated business enterprise or the equivalent
interest in an unincorporated business enterprise.




tributable to firms in which there is
foreign direct investment, are subject
to several limitations or qualifications.
Movements in affiliate gross product
reflect acquisitions of existing U.S.
businesses, as well as the establishment of new affiliates and changes in
production by existing affiliates. Thus,
an increase in affiliate gross product
may not represent an increase in U.S.
GDP; rather, it may simply represent
a shift in the ownership or control of
productive resources that would have
contributed to GDP in any event.2 Furthermore, because the estimates are in
current dollars, they reflect changes in
prices as well as changes in real output. Finally, it should be emphasized
that not all of the factors of production
that generate affiliate gross product
are foreign owned. The largest share
of affiliate gross product is accounted
for by employee compensation, almost
all of which accrues to U.S. workers,
and some of the profit-type return of
affiliates that are not wholly owned by
foreign direct investors accrues to U.S.
owners.
The remainder of this article is divided into three sections. The first
reviews the growth and distribution
from 1977 to 1987 of U.S. affiliate
gross product by industry of affiliate,
by country of ultimate beneficial
owner
(UBO), and by component.3 The sec2. Because data on U.S. affiliates are reported to
BEA on a consolidated basis, it is not possible to isolate increases in gross product due to acquisitions from
increases due to other factors. When a U.S. business
enterprise is acquired by an existing U.S. affiliate, data
for the acquired entity are consolidated with those of
the existing affiliate and cannot be separately identified. It should be noted that although the primary effect
of the acquisition of an existing business enterprise is
merely a shift in ownership, secondary effects on U.S.
GDP may occur. For example, some or all of any funds
that were brought into the United States from abroad
and transferred to the previous owners may be used
for investment in the United States, or the new owners
may utilize resources more or less efficiently than the
previous ones. Data needed to gauge such secondary

ond compares the level, growth, and
composition of affiliate gross product
with those of all-U.S.-business gross
product, as measured in the national
income and product accounts (NIPA's).
The third illustrates how gross product data, together with other data on
U.S. affiliates' operations, can be used
to analyze the structure of affiliates'
production. A technical note at the end
of the article discusses data sources,
estimation procedures, and conceptual
differences between the components of
U.S. affiliate and NIPA gross product.

Growth and Distribution of
U.S. Affiliate Gross Product,
1977-87
Overview

Gross product of U.S. affiliates grew
from $35.2 billion in 1977 to $151.9
billion in 1987 (table 1). The average
annual growth rate during this period
was 16 percent. Affiliate gross product grew much more rapidly during
1977-81, although from a smaller base,
than during 1981-87—an average annual rate of 29 percent, compared with
7 percent. The faster growth in the
earlier period may have reflected several factors. First, during that period,
U.S. companies were being acquired
by foreigners at a rapid pace. After
slowing in 1982-83, the pace and the
size of acquisitions picked up again in
1984. However, after 1981, disinvestment increased, as some of the acquisitions made earlier proved unprofitable
and as foreign parents sold off unwanted divisions of recently acquired
affiliates.4
4. The pattern of rapid growth during 1977-81 followed by slower growth from 1981-87 is also reflected
in other measures of foreign direct investment in the
United States. For example, sales by affiliates grew at
an average annual rate of 27 percent in 1977-81 and
6 percent in 1981-87. The respective growth rates for
assets were 30 percent and 15 percent; for employment,
19 percent and 5 percent; and, for the foreign direct investment position in the United States, 33 percent and
16 percent.

Second, growth in affiliate gross
product slowed considerably in 1982
because of the worldwide economic recession. Slack demand led to sharp
declines in production by existing affiliates, and slow recovery overseas
limited foreigners' ability to make new
investments.
Third, inflation rates in the United
States were higher during 1977-81
than after 1981. (As noted earlier, the
estimates are in current dollars and
thus reflect price changes as well as
changes in real output.)
Finally, growth in affiliate gross
product may have been affected by
fluctuations in the value of the dollar vis-a-vis foreign currencies. During
1977-80, depreciation of the dollar encouraged new investment in the United
States by making it cheaper for foreigners to produce and invest here.
When the dollar appreciated during
1981-85, these activities became relatively more expensive, and new U.S.
investment may have been dampened.
By industry
The pattern of rapid growth of affiliate gross product in 1977-81, and
of much slower growth in 1981-87,
was widespread by industry. For example, in manufacturing—which accounted for nearly 50 percent of the
affiliate total throughout 1977-87—
gross product grew at an average annual rate of 30 percent in 1977-81,
compared with 8 percent in 1981-87,
about the same rates as those for all
industries combined. In petroleum, a
29-percent growth rate was followed by

June 1990

a negative 2-percent rate. All other industries combined grew at a 30-percent
rate in 1977-81 and a 12-percent rate
in 1981-87.
In manufacturing, growth in gross
product throughout 1977-87 was at
an average annual rate of 16 percent.
Within manufacturing, the most rapid
growth was in "other manufacturing"
and chemicals.5
In "other manufacturing," growth
was particularly strong in motor vehicles and equipment. However, most
U.S. affiliates of large foreign automobile manufacturers are classified in
motor vehicle and equipment wholesale trade and not in motor vehicle and
equipment manufacturing, because a
majority of their sales result from the
wholesale distribution of imported cars
rather than from their sales of cars
manufactured in the United States.
For analytical purposes, it is useful
to combine these two segments of the
auto industry and examine them together. In the tables, the data for the
combined industries are shown in the
addenda, under the heading of "total
motor vehicles and equipment."
Most of the growth in total motor
vehicles and equipment occurred between 1977 and 1985. Surging demand
for fuel-efficient imported vehicles induced foreign auto companies—mainly

5. Industries in "other manufacturing" are textile
products and apparel; lumber, wood, furniture, and
fixtures; paper and allied products; printing and publishing; rubber and plastics products; stone, clay, and
glass products; transportation equipment; instruments
and related products; and manufacturing industries not
elsewhere classified.

from Japan and Germany—to expand
their U.S. wholesale operations. Fears
of U.S. trade protectionism may have
also encouraged them to produce in
the United States rather than to supply U.S. markets entirely from abroad.
Some increases in production from affiliates of Japanese UBO's may have
resulted from Japan's institution of a
voluntary export restraint program for
motor vehicles in 1981. In addition, a
French UBO's acquisition in 1979 of a
U.S. automobile manufacturer boosted
affiliate production.
In 1986-87, gross product in total motor vehicles and equipment declined. The French UBO's automobile
manufacturer proved unprofitable and
was sold to a U.S. company in 1987.
That same year, a German UBO closed
its U.S. production facilities following
several years of poor sales. In addition, gross product declined in 198687, when wholesalers were forced to
raise prices for imported vehicles, because of dollar depreciation. These
higher prices dampened demand. Although several joint ventures between
Japanese and U.S. companies to produce cars in the United States were
launched during 1986-87, they did
not make substantial contributions to
gross product in those years, because
they had not become fully operational.
Since 1987, most of these ventures
have become operational, and their
gross product has probably increased.
In chemicals, gross product rose at
an average annual rate of 17 percent
in 1977-87. Growth was very rapid
in 1977-81; however, much of it occurred in 1981, when gross product

more than doubled because a Canadian
UBO acquired a minority interest in
a major producer of industrial chemicals and synthetics. The rate of growth
slowed in 1981-87, largely because increased affiliate production resulting
from several acquisitions in 1985-86
was mostly offset by the disinvestment
of a large agricultural chemicals affiliate that repurchased the minority
equity interest held by its German
UBO.
In petroleum, gross product grew at
an average annual rate of 9 percent in
1977-87. During 1977-81, gross product of petroleum affiliates increased at
the same rate as that of all affiliates.
The increase mainly reflected rising
crude oil prices and stepped-up production in Alaska. However, crude oil
prices began to fall in 1982; in 1986
alone, they fell by one-half. As a result of the price collapse, gross product
in petroleum declined in 1981-87, and
these affiliates' share of total affiliate
gross product fell from 22 percent in
1981 to 12 percent in 1987.6
In finance (except banking), gross
product of affiliates grew at an average annual rate of 39 percent. These
affiliates accounted for a small, but
growing, share of affiliate gross product. Their faster-than-average growth
mirrored the faster growth of this industry in the U.S. economy as a whole.
Increased consolidation and globalization and a surge in the varieties of
6. The acquisitions of the remaining shares of a
petroleum affiliate by a Netherlands UBO in 1985 and
those of a different petroleum affiliate by a British UBO
in 1987 did not by themselves increase gross product.
Because the data are not adjusted for percentage of foreign ownership, the gross product of these affiliates was
already included in the data before the acquisitions of
the remaining shares.

47

financial instruments available made
it essential for successful competitors
in this industry to have access to
large amounts of capital. Foreign investors were willing to supply this capital in return for minority ownership
interests.7
By country of UBO
Gross product of affiliates with European UBO's grew at a 14-percent
average annual rate in 1977-87 (table 2). These affiliates accounted for
69 percent of total affiliate gross product in 1977, but their share fell to
60 percent by 1987, because of their
slower-than-average growth over the
period. Gross product of affiliates
with UBO's in Africa, Asia, and Pacific
had faster-than-average growth, particularly in 1981-87; thus, their share
of the total increased from 9 percent to
16 percent. Although the gross product of affiliates with Canadian UBO's
also grew faster than average, much
of the growth occurred in 1981 and resulted from a single transaction—the
previously mentioned purchase of the
minority interest in a major producer
of industrial chemicals.
Among affiliates with European
UBO's, growth rates varied by country.
Growth was relatively rapid
for affiliates with UBO's in Germany,
Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and
"other" Europe; it was relatively slow
for affiliates with UBO's in Prance and
the Netherlands. The differences in
growth rates mostly reflected differences in the distribution of gross prod7. The growth of affiliate gross product in this industry would have been even larger, but a South African
UBO and a Middle Eastern UBO each sold minority
interests in large affiliates to U.S. buyers in 1987.

uct by industry. For example, affiliates with French UBO's were concentrated in manufacturing industries—
such as paper, transportation equipment, and stone, clay, and glass—
that were among those most affected
by recession-related layoffs and financial losses in the early 1980's; their
gross product did not exceed the 1981
level until 1986. Growth among affiliates with Netherlands UBO's was
particularly slow; it partly reflected
the concentration of their investment
in petroleum. (As noted earlier, gross
product in petroleum declined during 1981-87.) Affiliates with German and Swiss UBO's, in contrast,
were concentrated in industries—such
as industrial chemicals and drug
manufacturing—that grew relatively
quickly. Increases in gross product
of affiliates with UBO's in the United
Kingdom probably reflected the large
number and size of acquisitions by
these UBO's. In "other" Europe, much
of the growth reflected the reclassification of a finance affiliate's UBO to
Belgium from Kuwait in 1986.
Gross product of affiliates with
UBO's in Africa, Asia, and Pacific increased every year and exhibited the
fastest growth among the major areas with a substantial amount of gross
product.8 Compared with other areas, growth was strong during 198187. Affiliates with Japanese UBO's
accounted for most of the gross product
in this area. In the early 1980's, these
UBO's rapidly expanded their wholesale trade operations in the United
8. Affiliates with UBO's in the Middle East and the
United States grew somewhat faster in 1977-87, but
they accounted for only 1-3 percent of total affiliate
gross product in any single year.

of the increase occurred after 1981
and may have reflected the availability of accelerated depreciation methods
for calculating income taxes under the
Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981.
Although CCA for affiliates are computed on the basis of book depreciation, rather than tax depreciation, the
1981 Act may have encouraged new investment in depreciable assets, thus
yielding higher CCA for affiliates. The
increased CCA share may have also reflected stepped-up investment in assets
that have relatively short service lives,
such as computers.
Profit-type return.—The share of
gross product accounted for by profittype return (PTR) declined from 18
percent in 1977 to 9 percent in 1987.
This component is more sensitive to
changes in general economic conditions
than other components. Although generally trending downward, the PTR
share of total gross product fluctuated considerably during 1977-87. It
averaged about 15 percent in 197881 but declined sharply to 7 percent
in 1982, when the economic recession caused profits to drop. Manufacturing affiliates—particularly those in
nonelectrical machinery, transportation equipment, primary metals, and
stone, clay, and glass products—
suffered large losses. The profits of
petroleum affiliates declined slightly,
as crude oil prices began to fall from
their 1981 peak.
After 1982, production and profits
began to recover. By 1984, the share
of gross product accounted for by PTR
grew to 13 percent. After 1984, however, the PTR share declined. In
each year, sharp decreases in the PTR
of different industries accounted for
the overall decline. In 1985, manufacturing affiliates' profits decreased.
In 1986, petroleum affiliates' PTR declined because of the steep drop in
crude oil prices. In 1987, profits in
retail trade and finance were down;
the decline in retail trade may have
reflected the increased debt burden
and higher interest expenses associated with leveraged buyouts of several
U.S. retailers. (Retail trade was one of
the few industries in which the net interest share of gross product increased
from 1982 to 1987.) The decline in finance affiliates' PTR probably reflected
the sharp decline in stock prices and
the divestiture of several affiliates in
that year.
Indirect business taxes.—The share
of gross product accounted for by indirect business taxes (IBT) declined




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

49

from 14 percent in 1977 to 12 percent
in 1987. This decline partly reflected
slower growth in two industries—
food manufacturing and petroleum—in
which IBT accounted for a large share
of gross product. In food manufacturing, the large share mainly reflected
excise taxes on alcoholic beverages;
production grew slowly, partly because
of shifting tastes away from distilled
liquors. In petroleum, growth was slow
for the reasons discussed earlier.
Net interest.—The share of gross
product accounted for by net interest
was roughly the same in 1977 and
1987—6 percent and 5 percent, respectively. However, it was as high as 9
percent in 1982. The increase from
1977 to 1982 probably reflected rising
interest rates. Following 1982, the
net interest share generally declined
through 1987. The decline probably
reflected falling interest rates and a
slight increase in the portion of affiliate operations that was financed with
funds from their foreign parent groups.
(These funds tend to cost less than externally borrowed funds.) By industry,
the net interest share was by far the
largest in real estate, where affiliate
assets tend to be heavily leveraged.

the sources of data for affiliate and
NIPA estimates differ, differences in
timing, valuation, and industry classification could also significantly hamper
detailed industry comparisons. Despite these limitations, analyses for
major industries probably are not significantly affected, and comparisons of
the two data sets can provide a picture of the relative shares of all-U.S.business gross product accounted for
by affiliates in the major industries.
U.S. affiliates accounted for 4.3 percent of all-U.S.-business gross product
in 1987 (table 4), up from 2.3 percent in
1977. Nearly all of the increase, however, occurred during 1977-81, when
growth in affiliate production mainly
reflected the rapid pace of acquisitions
of U.S. businesses by foreigners. From
a relatively small base, affiliate gross
product grew during this period at an
average annual rate of 29 percent, compared with about 11 percent for all U.S.
businesses; thus, the affiliate share
of all-U.S.-business gross product rose.
Since 1981, however, both affiliate and
all-U.S.-business growth have slowed
to about the same 7-percent average
annual rate, and the affiliate share
of all-U.S.-business gross product has
remained constant.

reflects restrictions on foreign investment in some segments of these industries, especially in transportation,
communications, and public utilities.
Additionally, like retail trade and services, much of the remainder of this
industry group consists of small businesses that do not attract foreign
investment.
Affiliate shares in manufacturing
and finance (except banking) increased
sharply from 1977 to 1987—from 5.0
percent to 10.5 percent in manufacturing and from 2.2 percent to 9.4
percent in finance (except banking).12
In manufacturing, as in all industries
combined, virtually all of the increase
in share occurred before 1982. Although, for the reasons stated earlier, exact comparisons of affiliate data
with all-U.S.-business data are inappropriate at a detailed industry level,
affiliate shares probably increased
in most manufacturing subindustries.
The increase appears to have been
particularly large in chemicals.13
In chemicals, the increase in the
affiliate share reflected several factors. Rather than exporting to the

United States, foreigners may have
preferred establishing production facilities here, partly because of the availability of raw material feedstocks, such
as petroleum. In addition, foreign
pharmaceutical companies may have
found it easier to obtain U.S. Federal Government approval of new products by producing them here rather
than abroad.
Before 1977, foreign chemical manufacturers—mostly
European—gained a share of U.S. production mainly by establishing operations in the United States. Since then,
they have expanded their U.S. presence primarily through acquisitions of
existing companies. Much of this expansion reflected a single acquisition,
mentioned earlier, in 1981—that of a
minority interest in a major producer
of industrial chemicals and synthetics by a Canadian UBO. Since 1982,
growth in the affiliate share has slowed
partly because numerous acquisitions
have been largely offset by the divestiture, mentioned earlier, of the minority interest in the German-owned
agricultural chemicals affiliate.
In finance (except banking), most
of the increase in the affiliate share
of all-U.S.-business gross product resulted from the foreign acquisitions of
minority interests in large U.S. finance
companies mentioned earlier.

12. In this section, unlike elsewhere in this article,
manufacturing includes petroleum refining and coal
products, and petroleum is not shown as a separate major industry. Instead, in order to be consistent with the
industry classification of the all-U.S.-business data, affiliate gross product in the various petroleum subindustries is distributed among the other major industries.
Thus, in table 4, manufacturing includes petroleum refining and coal products, wholesale trade includes petroleum wholesale trade, retail trade includes gasoline
service stations, and so on.
13. This statement is based upon an examination of
the two measures of affiliate operations—employment
and sales—that are available on an industry-of-sales
basis, which approximates an establishment-based classification. The employment data were collected on this
basis only for the 2 years—1980 and 1987—-for which
BEA conducted benchmark surveys of foreign direct investment. By either measure, chemicals had a higher
initial share, a faster growth rate, and a higher share
in 1987 than any other major manufacturing industry.

June 1990

the affiliate and all-U.S.-business distributions changed between 1977 and
1987, the pattern of change differed
mainly for employee compensation and
net interest.
The employee compensation share
of affiliate gross product increased
sharply—from 53 percent to 62 percent—in 1977-87, even though for
all U.S. businesses, it increased only
slightly, from 58 percent to 59 percent.
The share increase for affiliates occurred because, compared with all U.S.
businesses, affiliates have become increasingly concentrated in industries—
such as manufacturing, finance (except
banking), and insurance—in which

for by major securities firms, which
generally have very high levels of compensation. Moreover, foreign parents
may be shifting more of their higher
paid positions, such as those involving
financial management and marketing,
from abroad to their U.S. affiliates.
The net interest share of affiliate
gross product decreased slightly—from
6 percent in 1977 to 5 percent in
1987. The share for all U.S. businesses increased from 4 percent to 6
percent. The different pattern may
reflect two factors. First, between
1977 and 1987, affiliates had become
relatively more concentrated than all
U.S. businesses in certain industries—

particularly finance (except banking)
and insurance—in which the net interest share of gross product is usually very small or negative. Second, although the degree of leverage
has increased both for affiliates and
all U.S. businesses since 1977, affiliates' interest payments may have
been held down by an increase in the
portion of borrowed funds that are
from their foreign parent groups; these
funds are often supplied at interest
rates below those charged by financial
intermediaries.

June 1990

compensation per employee (CPE) is
higher than average, and relatively
less concentrated in industries, such
as services and retail trade, in which
CPE is lower than average. Furthermore, affiliate CPE tends to be
higher than all-U.S.-business CPE in
the high-CPE industries and to be
lower than all-U.S.-business CPE in
the low-CPE industries. The affiliate share may also have increased
because foreign investors focused their
more recent acquisition efforts on large
companies, which tend to pay aboveaverage compensation. For example,
in finance (except banking), most of
the affiliate gross product is accounted

Structure of Affiliate
Production
The estimates of U.S. affiliate gross
product, together with other information on U.S. affiliates' operations, can
be used to analyze how affiliates structure their production (table 6). Data
on gross product, sales, and inventory
change can be used to derive estimates
of affiliates' purchases from outside
suppliers (i.e., as sales minus gross
product plus inventory change). These
estimates, together with the data on
sales and gross product, can in turn
be used to gauge the extent to which
affiliates' sales result from their own
production (as measured by gross product) or from the production of others (as
measured by purchases). In addition,
by subtracting affiliates' imports from
their total purchases, the portion of
total purchases that is from U.S. businesses can be estimated. By summing
affiliates' gross product and purchases
in the United States, an estimate of
the local (U.S.) content of U.S. affiliates' sales can be made; this estimate
includes both the affiliates' own production and the production of other
U.S. businesses that is used as inputs
into the affiliates' production.
The remainder of this section briefly
discusses some of these estimates by
industry of affiliate to illustrate 15a
few uses of the gross product data.
One possible extension of the analysis presented here would be to compare these data by industry to similar
data for all U.S. businesses to determine whether affiliates and all U.S.
businesses structure their production
differently.

2. "Local content of sales" is overstated to the extent that purchases from domestic suppliers includes merchandise imports and to the extent
that they include purchases of services from foreigners that were not reported separately, and thus could not be broken out. As a result, the ratio of
local content to sales of the services industry in 1987 exceeds 100 percent.

15. Data by country of UBO will not be presented
in this section because differences among countries in
the ratios shown in table 6 mainly reflect variations
in the industry mix of affiliates of the UBO's in those
countries.

52
The extent to which affiliate sales
are provided by the affiliates' own
production, rather than by production
originating elsewhere, is indicated by
the ratio of gross product to sales.16
This ratio indicates the degree of vertical integration of affiliates; the higher
the ratio, the higher the degree of integration. For all industries, the ratio
increased from 18 percent in 1977 to
21 percent in 1987. (Consequently, the
portion of affiliate sales derived from
the production of others declined.) The
increase suggests that production in
the United States may have become a
somewhat more important way for foreign companies to serve the U.S. market during this period. However, the
ratio has remained roughly constant
at between 21 percent and 22 percent
since 1983, perhaps indicating that the
degree of vertical integration of affiliates has stabilized or that there have
been offsetting industry mix effects.
By industry, the ratio of manufacturing affiliates, which accounted for
nearly one-half of affiliate gross product, increased slightly, from 32 percent in 1977 to 33 percent in 1987.
Within manufacturing, however, there
were larger, mostly offsetting changes.
The ratios of affiliates in chemicals
and "other manufacturing" increased,
while the ratios of affiliates in foods,
in primary and fabricated metals, and
in machinery decreased. In total motor
vehicles and equipment (defined earlier as the sum of motor vehicles and
equipment manufacturing and wholesale trade), the ratio increased from
6 percent to 9 percent. In wholesale trade, where affiliates mainly distribute, without adding significantly to
their value, goods produced by others,
the ratio increased from 5 percent to 7
percent, but it remained lower than in
any other industry. Its increase may
reflect the fact that some affiliates classified in wholesale trade—particularly
in motor vehicles and equipment—
have expanded into manufacturing and
have increased the extent to which
their sales resulted from their own
production.

16. Because, as mentioned earlier, affiliate sales can
come out of inventory (which may have resulted from
affiliate production) or production may be added to inventory, the extent to which affiliate sales are provided
by the affiliates' own production is measured in table
6 by comparing gross product to the sum of sales and
inventory change, rather than to sales alone. However, because inventory change tends to be very small
compared to either gross product or sales, the ratio is
referred to in this section as the "gross product to sales"
ratio.




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
If sales by affiliates do not result
from their own production, they must
result from the production of others,
as shown by total purchases by affiliates. This measure can be derived
by subtracting affiliate gross product
from affiliate sales and adding inventory change.17 The ratio of imports
to total purchases by affiliates indicates the extent to which purchases of
goods and services used by the affiliate are provided by imports. For all
industries, imports as a percentage of
total purchases declined from 27 percent in 1977 to 24 percent in 1987;
however, the decline was not continuous. From 1979 to 1983, the import
content dropped steadily, mostly because the price (and volume) of imports
shipped to petroleum affiliates declined
sharply. In 1983-87, however, the import content rose, perhaps in response
to the relatively high value of the
U.S. dollar, particularly through 1985,
which made it cheaper for affiliates to
import. (In 1987, the import content
rose slightly from 1986, although the
dollar declined sharply.)
By industry, the sharp decline in
petroleum affiliates' imports-to-totalpurchases ratio, from 33 percent in
1977 to 16 percent in 1987, was partly
offset by an increase in the ratio in
wholesale trade, from 34 percent to 41
percent. The ratio for manufacturing
affiliates was unchanged at 16 percent. Within manufacturing, declines
in the ratios for food, machinery, and
"other manufacturing" affiliates were
offset by an increase in the ratio for
chemical affiliates. In the total motor vehicles and equipment industry,
the ratio increased from 56 percent to
64 percent. The very high, and rising, ratio in 1977-87 probably reflected
the significant reliance by these affiliates on imports both of goods for resale
without additional processing and of
components to be used in subsequent
production.18
Inputs to production that are not
imported by affiliates are purchased
domestically. By adding domestic purchases to the gross product of affiliates
and by comparing the sum to affiliate
sales, an estimate of the ratio of "lo-

yearend 1976; thus, it was necessary to estimate the
inventory change for 1977.

cal content" to affiliate sales can be
derived.19 Over time, this ratio usually
moves inversely to the ratio of imports
to total purchases. For all industries,
the ratio increased slightly, from 79
percent in 1977 to 81 percent in 1987.
However, the 1987 ratio reflects a decline since 1983, when local content
was about 85 percent; in recent years,
affiliates, like all U.S. businesses, have
apparently increased their reliance on
imported inputs.
By industry, a large increase in the
ratio of local content to sales by petroleum affiliates and a small increase
by manufacturing affiliates were partly
offset by a large decline in wholesale trade and a smaller decline in
retail trade. In petroleum, the ratio
rose from 78 percent in 1977 to 88
percent in 1987, because of a slowdown in the use of imports as an
input to production. Within manufacturing, the small increase—from
90 to 91 percent—reflected offsetting
changes. Increases in foods, machinery, and "other manufacturing" were
offset by declines in chemicals and in
primary and fabricated metals. In the
total motor vehicles and equipment industry, the ratio of local content to
sales declined from 48 percent to 41
percent. However, the ratio probably increased in 1988-89, because several manufacturing joint ventures between Japanese and U.S. companies
increased U.S. affiliate production during these years. In addition, some
foreign parts manufacturers that previously exported goods to the United
States have located production facilities here to be closer to their U.S.
customers.

Technical Note
Data sources
For all years except 1980 and 1987,
U.S. affiliate gross product estimates
were based on universe estimates derived from sample data from BEA's
19. These estimates should be used with caution, because the calculation of "local content" is subject to
several qualifications. First, merchandise imports are
reported on a "shipped" basis, that is, on the basis of
when, where, and to whom the goods were physically
shipped. Most affiliates keep their sales data on a
"charged" basis, that is, on the basis of when, where,
and to whom the goods were charged. Thus, the derived data on purchases are on a "charged" basis and are
not completely comparable to the import data. Second,
local purchases are overstated to the extent that purchases from domestic suppliers include imports. Third,
local purchases are overstated because they include
purchases of services from foreigners, which were not
reported separately and thus could not be subtracted
from total purchases in deriving local purchases.

Annual Survey of Foreign Direct Investment in the United States. For
1980 and 1987, the estimates were
based on universe data from BEA's
Benchmark Survey of Foreign Direct
Investment in the United States.
Estimates of 1987 all-U.S.-business
gross product were obtained from table
6.1, GNP by Industry, in the national
income and product accounts (NIPA's)
tables in the July 1988 SURVEY OF
CURRENT BUSINESS. Estimates for 1977
and 1981 were obtained from The National Income and Product Accounts of
the United States, 1929-82: Statistical

Although most of the data required
to obtain affiliate gross product were
collected in the BEA surveys mentioned above, several data items had
to be estimated for some or all of the
years. Capital gains and losses had

will be available back to 1977. However, most of the improvements relate to the constant-dollar estimates that
are published in NIPA table 6.2, GNP by Industry in
Constant Dollars. For additional information on these
improvements, see SURVEY 69 (June 1989): 2.

to be estimated for 1977-79, because,
for those years, data on them were
not collected in the annual surveys.
(Profit-type return (PTR) is measured
before capital gains and losses.)
An inventory valuation adjustment
(IVA) was estimated for all years and
applied to affiliate PTR. The IVA is
defined as the excess of the replacement cost of inventories used up over
their historical cost. In the NIPA's,
the IVA is calculated from information
on inventory book values, accounting
methods for valuing inventories, and
price changes. Because this information is not available for U.S. affiliates,
affiliate IVA was estimated.
Except for the benchmark survey
years of 1980 and 1987, when data
on monetary interest paid and received
were collected, it was necessary to estimate these items in order to calculate
the net interest component of gross
product. In addition, for all years,
it was necessary to estimate imputed
interest paid and received.

ble 7. In general, the U.S. affiliate
gross product components are conceptually consistent with the corresponding NIPA components. The net effect of the conceptual differences is
about 2 percent of all-U.S.-business
GDP. These differences include bad
debt, business transfer payments, subsidies, and depreciation of expenditures for mining exploration, shafts,
and wells.21 In addition, both profittype return and capital consumption
allowances (CCA) reflect a conceptual
difference in the measure of depreciation; however, its effects are offsetting
and do not affect total gross product.
NIPA estimates of CCA are, for the
most part, based on Federal income tax
returns; therefore, valuation of these
charges reflects tax accounting practices under Internal Revenue Service
regulations.22 Affiliate depreciation
charges, in contrast, are drawn from
accounting records on which annual reports are based, which usually do not
conform to tax regulations.

Differences in U.S. affiliate and NIPA
gross product components

21. A comparison of the components was made for
1983 data and is available as part of the supplementary
table package discussed in the box below.
22. Two measures of depreciation, or capital consumption, are used in the NIPA's: (1) CCA and (2) CCA with
capital consumption adjustment (CCAdj). In contrast to
the tax-return-based CCA measure, CCA with CCAdj is
based on the use of uniform service lives, straight-line
depreciation, and current replacement cost. Because
CCA with CCAdj is not available by industry in the
NIPA's, CCA is used in the GDP estimates in tables 4
and 5.

The aggregate estimates of affiliate gross
product in this article draw upon detailed
estimates made available by BEA in a package of tables in January 1990. However,
the aggregate estimates incorporate revisions to net interest, and thus to total gross
product, for 1981-86, and thus supersede
those in the detailed tables. The estimates
made available in January contained a discontinuity between 1986 and 1987. The
revisions will be incorporated in the detailed tables when the tables are updated to
include estimates for 1988.
The detailed tables include estimates of

International Investment Position:
Component Detail for 1989

In past years, BEA has presented estimates of the net international investment position and of total U.S. assets abroad and total foreign assets in the United States.
These estimates were obtained by summing components that reflected a mix of valuations. Some components were valued in current-period prices, and others were valued
in prices of earlier periods. It has become increasingly clear that using such a mix
of valuations does not provide a useful indicator of the level of investment—that is,
of the investment position. Therefore, estimates of the net position and of the total
positions abroad and in the United States have been suspended and are not shown
in this article. Research is underway at BEA to develop investment measures using
current-period prices for each component for which such valuation is appropriate.
BEA plans to introduce these estimates next year. Introduction of current-price estimates is one of the recommendations of the Working Group on Economic Statistics
headed by the Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers (see "Improving the
Quality of Economic Statistics" in the February 1990 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS).
Several studies suggest that, when stated in current prices, the level of the net
international investment position is less negative than that computed by BEA for recent
years. The direct investment positions prepared by BEA have been a major source
of misstatement, according to these studies, because they were stated in book values,
which reflect prices at the time transactions occurred. Consequently, because U.S.
direct investment abroad is more "mature," on average, than foreign direct investment
in the United States, it is subject to larger understatement.01
There are several approaches to revaluing direct investment to reflect current-period
prices. One approach relies on stock market prices; another, on price indexes for
equipment and structures; and a third, on capitalized earnings. BEA will review these
and other approaches for revaluing direct investment and will present estimates using
one or more of them. BEA will also revalue other components of the position to the
extent that it is appropriate and feasible.
This article continues to present each of the components of the international investment position, reflecting the mix of valuations that has been used in past years. The
components are of interest individually; furthermore, if combined, they may provide
a useful indication of the direction of the annual change in the investment position.
The box on page 57 briefly describes the valuation basis for each component. Much
of the information is drawn from the statement "Measuring the U.S. International
Investment Position," presented in the June 1989 SURVEY. (However, problems of outdated or incomplete source information that were described in that statement are not
discussed here.) The second column of table 1 summarizes the information in the
box by showing whether each component is stated in current or historical prices. As
described in the box, some components reflect a mix of valuations for their subcomponents; for these, the valuation basis shown in table 1 reflects that used for the major
part of the category.
In the table, both book values and face values are designated as being in historical
prices. In some instances, face value may also be considered equivalent to a currentprice valuation. For some assets or liabilities, the turnover is frequent or maturity
period is short, and thus the difference between a current valuation and an historical
one is small.
a. Some of the studies that have revalued components of the investment position are:

OTRONG dollar lending to the interbank market overseas in the second half of the year accounted for
much of the $49.9 billion increase, to
$658.0 billion, in U.S. bank-reported
claims (line 18). Foreign demand for
dollars was attributable to tightened
credit conditions overseas, as indicated
by the sharp rise in foreign interest rates while U.S. interest rates declined; by sustained economic growth
overseas; and by stepped-up demand
for funds for corporate restructuring
overseas. Interbank lending was especially heavy to banks' own offices in the
Caribbean and Japan and to unaffiliated banks in Asian banking centers.
Lending to nonbank foreigners was
limited, mostly because of continued
heavy use of international bond markets by international borrowers and,
to a much more limited extent, because of U.S. banks' further reductions
in loans to Latin American countries.
Banks' claims payable in foreign currencies contracted after several years
of growth.
Banks' own claims payable in dollars increased $44.5 billion, to $535.7
billion. Claims on own foreign offices
in the Caribbean and Japan increased
$39.7 billion, to $297.2 billion, and
claims on unaffiliated banks, mostly in
Asian banking centers, increased $5.4
billion, to $134.8 billion. U.S.-owned
banks placed substantial funds with

their offices in the Caribbean in the
second half of the year to offset withdrawals by U.S. residents and to fund
lending to other U.S. banks by those
offices. Foreign-owned banks were encouraged to transfer funds to offices in
Japan for much of the year by the increase in Japanese interest rates relative to U.S. interest rates and to transfer funds to meet strong demand for
dollar credits in Asian banking centers.
U.S. banks' own dollar claims on
foreign public borrowers and other private foreigners decreased $0.6 billion,
to $103.7 billion, reflecting a moderate
increase in claims on Japan, Canada,
and the Caribbean that was more than
offset by an $8.1 billion decrease in
claims on Latin America. This reduction principally represented further
widespread cutbacks in outstanding
bank claims on those debtor countries
through write-downs, debt swaps, and
sales of loans in secondary markets.
Among the largest debtor countries,
Brazil suspended interest payments in
late 1989, after temporarily becoming
current following debt restructuring in
1988; Argentina's U.S. loans were subject to write-downs by U.S. banks at
the urging of federal regulators; and
Mexico's prolonged negotiations with
foreign commercial banks on major
debt restructuring continued.
U.S. claims payable in foreign currencies decreased $1.1 billion, to
$68.2 billion, following 5 consecutive years of large increases. Much
of the decrease was attributable to
Japan, reflecting repatriation to the
Japanese domestic market of yendenominated business booked at U.S.
banking offices and, possibly, a shift in
Japanese investors' preferences toward
dollar-denominated assets.
Banks' domestic customers' claims
increased $6.5 billion, to $54.0 billion, partly because of a step-up in
deposits by U.S. money market mutual
funds in the Caribbean and the United
Kingdom.
In addition, claims increased $1.9 billion when banks acted
as trustees for foreign governments
that raised dollar funds in U.S. capital markets to prepay Foreign Military
Sales credits that carried high interest
rates.

Holdings of foreign securities in U.S.
portfolios increased $32.8 billion, or

price appreciation of stocks. Exchange
rate depreciation reduced the value of
holdings only modestly.
U.S. holdings of foreign stocks increased $28.4 billion, to $91.1 billion;
record net purchases of $16.6 billion
were augmented by $12.5 billion in
price appreciation, a 45-percent increase (line 16). Net purchases of
Western European stocks increased
sharply, to $14.9 billion, as U.S. demand responded to buoyant markets
in Europe, where prices climbed 12
to 30 percent, bolstered by continued
economic growth and strength in corporate earnings. Net purchases of British
stocks were augmented in the third
quarter by a single large exchange
of stock associated with a foreign direct investment transaction. Net purchases of stocks from the Netherlands, Switzerland, and France also
rose sharply. Net purchases from

West Germany strengthened in the second half, partly in anticipation of the
economic expansion that might occur
as a result of political and economic
union with East Germany. Net purchases of Canadian stocks remained
strong, at $4.0 billion, and holdings
were bolstered by a 17-percent appreciation in Canadian stock prices and
the advance of the Canadian dollar
over the U.S. dollar. Despite record
highs in Japan's stock market, U.S.
sales virtually offset purchases over
the year.
U.S. holdings of foreign bonds increased $4.5 billion to $98.5 billion,
primarily as a result of large net purchases of British gilt-edged bonds (line
15). Net purchases of bonds of $5.3
billion and price appreciation of $0.7
billion were partly offset by $1.5 billion
in exchange rate depreciation, mostly
on British gilts.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

New issues of dollar bonds in the
United States barely exceeded redemptions in 1989. Although U.S. long-term
interest rates declined sharply in the
year, foreign borrowers limited their
placements to $6.6 billion, approximately the prior year's level. Canadian
new issues in the United States were
nearly unchanged at $2.7 billion, despite a widening in the differential
of Canadian interest rates over U.S.
rates. New issues by other countries
slowed, to $2.5 billion, partly offset
by a step-up in placements by international financial institutions, to $1.4
billion. Redemptions of outstanoling
dollar bonds mostly by Canada and in-

June 1990

ternational financial institutions were
$5.6 billion.
Net U.S. purchases of other outstanding bonds, at $4.3 billion, were
more than accounted for by purchases
of $8.0 billion in British bonds. U.S.
purchases were encouraged by a considerable widening in long-term interest rate differentials as British rates
climbed and U.S. rates fell. Similarly, purchases of outstanding Canadian bonds increased as that differential also widened over U.S. rates.
Holdings of Japanese bonds were liquidated, mostly during the midyear
political uncertainties that affected the
ruling Japanese party.

U.S. direct investment abroad and other
private assets
U.S. direct investment abroad increased $39.9 billion, or 12 percent—a
near doubling of the rate of growth—to
$373.4 billion, strengthened by sustained economic growth and rising foreign interest rates overseas (line 13).
Strong capital outflows consisted of
reinvested earnings of $22.4 billion,
intercompany debt outflows of $14.2
billion, and partly offsetting equity inflows of $4.9 billion from the sale of
affiliates.
Valuation adjustments of
$8.2 billion reflected the sale of several affiliates for more than the book

between the end of accounting periods. Reinvested earnings accelerated
in 1989; they had been held to low levels in 1988 when affiliates distributed
unusually large dividends. The distribution of dividends returned to more
normal levels in 1989 and was aug-

mented by continued strong operating
earnings abroad. Intercompany debt
outflows accelerated; several U.S. parent companies made loans to existing
foreign affiliates for purposes of acquisitions by their affiliates. Equity

U.S. official reserve assets
Line 3 .Gold is valued, pursuant to Public Law 93-110, at the official price of $42.2222 per fine troy ounce on the books of the U.S.
Treasury. The market price of nonmonetary gold was over $400 per
fine ounce at yearend 1989.
Lines 4-5 Special drawing rights and the reserve position in the
International Monetary Fund are the U.S. dollar equivalents of the
SDR amounts outstanding at end of period, stated in current values
and converted at end-of-period SDR/U.S. dollar exchange rates.
Line 6 Foreign currency reserves are the U.S. dollar equivalent
of foreign currencies converted at end-of-period exchange rates or at
rates negotiated between monetary authorities.
U.S. Government assets
Lines 9-11 U.S. Government assets, other than official reserve assets, are amounts outstanding based on value at time of transaction,
as reported by U.S. Government agencies. Amounts outstanding denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are converted to
dollars at end-of-period exchange rates under terms of applicable
domestic regulations and/or bilateral and international agreements.
U.S. private assets
Line 13 U.S. direct investment abroad is the amount outstanding
as carried on the books of foreign affiliates and, thus, reflects prices
on affiliates' books at the time of investment rather than prices of the
current period. Capital flows, which measure transactions between
U.S. parents and foreign affiliates during the year, are recorded at
transactions value. Valuation adjustments are made for changes in
book value that do not arise from capital flows. They also are made
for changes in value that arise because of changes from the end of one
accounting period to the next in exchange rates applied in translation
of foreign affiliates' assets and liabilities from foreign currencies into
U.S. dollars.
Lines 15-16 Foreign securities held by U.S. residents are valued
at current market prices at end of period. Outstanding stocks are
revalued by changes in price indexes of major foreign stock markets,
and outstanding bonds are revalued by changes in prices of foreign
dollar bonds in the United States. Foreign currency securities are
revalued by changes in U.S. dollar exchange rates. These holdings are
not tied to a recent benchmark; the last census of foreign securities
held in the United States was in 1941.
Line 17 U.S. claims on unaffiliated foreigners reported by U.S.
nonbanking concerns are face amounts Outstanding on U.S. reporters'
books at end of period, mostly valued at initial cost. Financial claims,
mostly less than 1 year in maturity, account for more than one-half
of reported amounts. Foreign currency claims are reported in U.S.
dollars at exchange rates at or near end of period.
Line 18 U.S. claims on foreigners reported by banking institutions
in the United States are face amounts outstanding on the U.S. reporters' books at end of period valued at initial cost. Interbank claims,
mostly under 3 months in maturity, account for two-thirds of reported
amounts. Some claims on countries encountering debt-servicing problems, although on reporters' books at face value, are subject to steep
discounting in the secondary market. Foreign currency claims are
reported in U.S. dollars at exchange rates at or near end of period.

Line 22 U.S. Treasury securities held by foreign official agencies include (1) Short-term Treasury bills—mostly 6 months or less
in maturity—reported by U.S. banking institutions at par value;




(2) a small amount of nonmarketable Treasury bonds carried at
transactions value at time of issue; and (3) marketable Treasury
bonds—which account for most of the holdings—revalued to current
market prices at end of period. Holdings of Treasury bonds are
rebenchmarked about every 5 years; the most recent benchmark was
for 1984.
Line 23 Other U.S. Government securities held by foreign official agencies are revalued to current market prices at end of period.
Holdings are rebenchmarked about every 5 years; the most recent
benchmark was for 1984.
Line 24 U.S. Government liabilities to foreigners are amounts outstanding, based on value at time of transaction, as reported by U.S.
Government agencies. A small amount of liabilities denominated in
currencies other than U.S. dollars are reported in dollars at end-ofperiod exchange rates under terms of applicable domestic regulations
and/or bilateral and international agreements.
Line 25 U.S. liabilities to foreigners reported by banking institutions in the United States are face amounts outstanding on U.S.
reporters' books at end of period valued at initial cost. Liabilities are
largely under 1 year in maturity.
Line 26 U.S. securities, other than Treasury securities, held by foreign official agencies are valued at current market prices at end of
period. Outstanding stocks are revalued by changes in the Standard
and Poor's composite 500 index, and outstanding bonds are revalued
by changes in prices of U.S. bonds. Holdings are rebenchmarked about
every 5 years; the most recent benchmark was for 1984.
Other foreign assets in the United States
Line 28 Foreign direct investment in the United States is the
amount outstanding as carried on the books of U.S. affiliates and,
thus, reflects prices on affiliates' books at the time of investment
rather than prices of the current period. Capital flows, which measure
transactions between foreign parents and U.S. affiliates during the
year, are recorded at transactions value. Valuation adjustments are
made for changes in book value that do not arise from capital flows.
Line 29 U.S. Treasury securities held by other foreigners primarily
consist of marketable Treasury bonds outstanding revalued to current market prices at end of period. Holdings of Treasury bonds are
rebenchmarked about every 5 years; the most recent benchmark was
for 1984. Small amounts of Treasury bills—mostly 6 months or less
in maturity—are reported by U.S. banking institutions at par value.
Lines 31-32 U.S. securities, other than Treasury securities, held
by other foreigners are valued at current market prices at end of period. Outstanding stocks are revalued by changes in the Standard
and Poor's composite 500 index, and outstanding bonds are revalued
by changes in prices of U.S. bonds issued abroad. Bonds denominated
in foreign currencies are converted to U.S. dollars at end-of-period exchange rates. Holdings are rebenchmarked about every 5 years; the
most recent benchmark was for 1984.
Line 33 U.S. liabilities to unaffiliated foreigners reported by U.S.
nonbanking concerns are face amounts outstanding on U.S. reporters'
books at end of period, mostly valued at initial cost. Financial liabilities, mostly less than 1 year in maturity, account for one-half of
reported amounts. Foreign currency liabilities are reported in U.S.
dollars at exchange rates at or near end of period.
Line 34 U.S. liabilities to foreigners reported by banking institutions in the United States are face amounts outstanding on the U.S.
reporters' books at end of period valued at initial cost. Interbank liabilities, ranging from overnight to 3 months in maturity, account
for two-thirds of reported amounts. Foreign currency liabilities are
reported in U.S. dollars at exchange rates at or near end of period.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

affiliates by U.S. companies engaged
in restructuring their worldwide operations. (Details on 1989 direct investment developments are in a separate section on "U.S. Direct Investment
Abroad" in this article.)
Claims on unaffiliated foreigners reported by nonbanking concerns in the
United States decreased $1.4 billion, to
$32.5 billion, reflecting a reduction in
Eurodollar deposits of major U.S. corporations (line 17). Their withdrawals
from U.S. banks' foreign offices in the
United Kingdom and the Caribbean
were heavy in the second half, accounting for much of the $3.7 billion
decrease, to $18.1 billion, in U.S. nonbanking concerns' financial claims. Export financing accelerated, leading to a
$2.3 billion increase, to $14.4 billion,
in commercial claims, bolstered in the
second half by declining U.S. interest
rates.

overseas interbank market and to fund
limited U.S. domestic loan expansion
(line 34). Dollar funds came largely
from banks in Caribbean banking centers, Japan, and a few countries in
Western Europe. Depositing in the
United States by nonbank foreigners
was substantial. Sustained strength
of the dollar in exchange markets contributed to dollar inflows. Banks' liabilities payable in foreign currencies
decreased after large increases for the
past several years.
Banks' own liabilities payable in dollars increased $58.0 billion, to $545.4
billion, mostly in the second half of the
year. U.S. banks' liabilities to own foreign offices increased $29.4 billion, to
$318.6 billion, and liabilities to unaffiliated banks increased $15.0 billion,
to $135.3 billion. U.S.-owned banks
borrowed heavily in the second half of
the year from Caribbean offices to finance a surge in lending to other world
financial centers. In the first half
of the year, encouraged by declining
Eurodollar rates relative to U,S. interest rates, overseas borrowing financed
part of the surge in domestic lending for corporate restructuring in the
United States. Foreign-owned banks
borrowed heavily in the fourth quarter; most borrowing was by Japanese
banks to fund home offices in Japan
and to increase their domestic U.S.
loan portfolios.
Banks' own liabilities to other private foreigners and international financial institutions increased $13.6
billion—the largest increase since
1982—to $91.6 billion. Most of the increase occurred in the second quarter,
when the U.S. dollar exchange rate appreciated sharply, and in the fourth
quarter.
Banks' custody liabilities payable in
dollars increased $11.6 billion, to $62.9
billion. Borrowing in the first half of
the year reflected a surge in demand
for bank credit for merger-related acquisitions in the United States. Additional drawing on Eurodollar credits by
nonbank residents in the United States
was induced by a significant widening of the prime-LIBOR differential
favoring overseas borrowing.
Banks' own liabilities payable in foreign currencies decreased $8.6 billion,
to $66.4 billion, reflecting a sharp
cutback in yen funding by Japaneseowned banks in the United States. An
increase in funding in foreign currencies from banks in the Caribbean and
Western Europe offset some of this
drop.

U.S. official reserve assets and other
U.S. Government assets
U.S. reserve assets increased $26.8
billion, to $74.6 billion, almost entirely from exchange market intervention purchases of German marks and
Japanese yen (line 2). Net positive
valuation adjustments of $1.5 billion
mostly reflected appreciation of German mark holdings partly offset by
depreciation of Japanese yen holdings.
Holdings of Special Drawing Rights increased, and the reserve position with
the International Monetary Fund decreased; both included a negative valuation adjustment reflecting a decline in
the market basket of currencies used
to value them.
U.S. Government assets other than
official reserve assets decreased $1.2
billion, to $84.3 billion; repayments
again exceeded credit disbursements
(line 7). Disbursements of credits
through most government lending programs continued to decline, and foreign
countries continued to prepay Foreign
Military Sales credits, although at a
slower pace than in 1988.

Changes in Foreign Assets
in the United States
Bank liabilities
Liabilities to private foreigners and
international financial institutions reported by U.S. banks increased $61.0
billion, to $674.8 billion, reflecting substantial borrowing from foreign banks
to fund surges in dollar lending to the




June 1990

U.S. Treasury securities
Record net purchases of $30.0 billion and price appreciation of $3.9
billion boosted holdings of U.S. Treasury securities by private foreigners
and international financial institutions
to $134.8 billion (line 29). Record
net purchases—$27.2 billion—of marketable Treasury bonds accounted for
much of the increase despite a substantial narrowing in interest rate differentials between U.S. and foreign
government bonds. Foreign demand
accelerated early in the year, bolstered
by the dollar's recovery in exchange
markets and relatively high U.S. interest rates. Demand picked up again
later in the year when prospects for
capital gains strengthened as the U.S.
economy appeared to slow and as international investing was affected by political uncertainties in Asia. Net purchases of Treasury securities by British
residents tripled and were especially
heavy in the third quarter. Other continental European investors also added
significant amounts to their holdings.
Net purchases by other countries were
limited. Japan's net purchases were
small, because periods of heavy buying
were offset by large midyear sales.

Other U.S. securities
Foreign holdings of U.S. securities
other than U.S. Treasury securities increased $94.2 billion, or 24 percent, to
$489.8 billion, reflecting large net purchases of U.S. bonds and substantial
price appreciation of U.S. stocks (line
30).
Foreign holdings of U.S. bonds increased $35.0 billion, to $229.6 billion,
as a result of net purchases of $33.0
billion and price appreciation of $3.3
billion; exchange rate depreciation was
partly offsetting (line 31). New issues
of bonds sold abroad by U.S. corporations, although virtually unchanged
from last year, at $19.3 billion, were
heavy in the first half. In the second half, U.S. demand slowed, especially for financing corporate restructuring. U.S. industrial corporations
accelerated their overseas placements,
mostly in the first half, and financial institutions reduced their placements. Straight fixed-rate bonds dominated new issues, but, as the year
progressed, foreign currency issues in
Japanese yen, British pounds, and
Swiss francs became more popular.

mostly from $52.6 billion in price appreciation resulting from a 13-percent
advance in U.S. stock prices (line 32).
Net purchases were $6.6 billion and
were strongest from May to October when the dollar appreciated, U.S.
stock prices rose rapidly, and shortand long-term U.S. interest rates fell.
Strong net purchases of $3.2 billion by
Japan and of $2.9 billion by institutional investors in Caribbean countries
accounted for most of the rise in net
purchases. Within Western Europe,
net sales by Switzerland, West Ger-

Equity-related issues were very small
despite the buoyant U.S. stock market.
Foreigners substantially accelerated
their net purchases of U.S. federally
sponsored agency bonds to $13.7 billion. Demand was strongest from the
United Kingdom and Japan: Foreign
investors chose to enhance the quality
of their portfolios as weakness arose
in the U.S. corporate bond market
and as political uncertainties in Asia
heightened.
Foreign holdings of U.S. stocks increased $59.3 billion, to $260.2 billion,

many, and other Western European
investors were nearly offset by strong
British net purchases of $3.5 billion.
Western European investors may have
shifted funds to their domestic stock
markets, which advanced strongly in
1989.

States increased $15.6 billion, to

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 $42-2/9 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. Includes gold valued at the official price.
3. 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.
4. Includes indebtedness that the borrower may contractually, or at its option, repay with its currency, with a
third country's currency, or by delivery of materials or transfer of services.
5. Estimates are linked, for 1982 forward, to the U.S. Department of Commerce 1982 benchmark survey
and, for 1977-81 and 1966-76, to the Commerce 1977 and 1966 benchmark surveys, respectively.

creased $8.8 billion, and price appreciation added $6.8 billion (line 20).
Assets of OPEC members increased
$10.7 billion, mostly in purchases of
U.S. Treasury bonds, following substantial reductions every year since
1982. Assets of industrial countries
were unchanged: Substantial intervention sales of dollars in exchange
markets in the second and fourth quarters were offset by increases in holdings in the first and third quarters.
Other countries increased their dollar
assets $1.8 billion, but a few newly industrialized countries in Asia reduced
their dollar assets significantly.

Foreign direct investment in the United
States and other liabilities

Foreign direct investment in the
United States increased $72.0 billion,
or 22 percent, to $400.8 billion (line
28). Capital inflows accelerated, to
a record $72.2 billion; equity inflows
were $46.7 billion, intercompany debt
inflows were $25.6 billion, and reinvested earnings were negligible. Large
equity and intercompany debt inflows
from Japan, the United Kingdom, and
continental Europe reflected continued
strong foreign acquisition activity and
repayment of loans to U.S. finance affiliates by foreign parent companies.
Reinvested earnings were negligible as
a result of the marked slowdown in
operating earnings. (Details on 1989
direct investment developments are in
a separate section on "Foreign Direct
Investment in the United States" in
this article.)
Liabilities to unaffiliated foreigners
reported by nonbanking concerns in
the United States increased $2.8 billion, to $38.9 billion, reflecting a slowdown in U.S. corporate overseas borrowing and in advance receipts from
foreigners (line 33). Financial liabilities, mostly to Japan and the United
Kingdom, increased $1.9 billion, to
$17.4 billion, partly to finance U.S.
corporate restructuring early in the
year. Commercial liabilities increased
$0.9 billion, to $21.5 billion, following
a substantial increase in 1988. The
step-up in deliveries of aircraft reduced
advance receipts of U.S. aircraft manufacturers, and higher foreign interest
rates limited U.S. use of foreign trade
credits.

Direct Investment
U.S. direct investment abroad

The U.S. direct investment position
abroad increased 12 percent ($39.9 billion) in 1989, to $373.4 billion, com-1
pared with 6 percent in 1988 (table 3).
The positions in affiliates in Canada
($66.9 billion) and the United Kingdom ($60.8 billion) remained by far the
largest.
Sustained economic growth overseas, particularly in Western Europe
and East Asia, contributed to the increased pace of investment in 1989.
The faster pace mostly reflected a
sharp increase in reinvested earnings and a smaller increase in intercompany debt outflows. A decline
in equity capital inflows and larger
positive valuation
adjustments also
contributed.2
Reinvested earnings rose $9.8 billion, to a record $22.4 billion. The
sharp rise reflected an increase in the
reinvestment ratio—that is, the fraction of earnings that are reinvested—
and, to a lesser extent, an increase in
the already high level of earnings. The
reinvestment ratio rose from 0.25 to
0.42. In 1988, the ratio was particularly low, because a number of unusually large dividends were paid by
foreign affiliates. In response to higher
U.S. interest rates, U.S. parent companies may have found it more cost effective to finance domestic expansion and
corporate restructuring by repatriating
a larger portion of their strong overseas profits rather than by borrowing
in the United States. In addition, some
U.S. parent companies may have felt
that the U.S. dollar had reached a low
against several major foreign currencies and, therefore, that they should
repatriate earnings before a stronger
dollar lowered the conversion values.
In 1989, foreign interest rates generally rose, and the gap between U.S. and
foreign interest rates narrowed. As a
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.
2. Several direct investment accounts have been redefined, with the result that reinvested earnings (and,
therefore, capital flows and income) now exclude, and
valuation adjustments now include, capital gains and
losses associated with translation adjustments. The
overall change in the position is not affected because
translation adjustments have been reclassified from one
component of the change (capital flows) to another (valuation adjustments). For a discussion of the revisions
and a table showing their effect on historical data, see
the technical note in "U.S. International Transactions,
First Quarter 1990," in this issue.

result, some U.S. parents may have
relied more heavily than in 1988 on
the reinvestment of affiliates' earnings
to finance overseas operations. In addition, affiliates stepped up expansion
plans in response to increasing global
competition—particularly the prospect
of increasing competition and economic
growth resulting from full implementation of the European Communities
(EC(12)) single-market initiative by
yearend 1992.
U.S. parents may
have sought to finance these expansions by raising the portion of affiliates' earnings that were reinvested.
Furthermore, higher earnings were
available for reinvestment because of
stronger economic growth abroad; affiliate earnings rose $2.6 billion, to $53.9
billion.
Intercompany debt outflows increased $4.3 billion, to $14.2 billion. As
was the case with reinvested earnings,
increased intercompany debt outflows
may have been spurred by higher interest rates abroad. In addition, several
U.S. parents acquired foreign affiliates
indirectly by lending funds to existing affiliates, which, in turn, acquired
other foreign companies. U.S. parents have increased reliance on such
indirect acquisitions in recent years.
To the extent that they replace direct
acquisitions by the U.S. parents themselves, indirect acquisitions tend to
increase intercompany debt outflows at
the expense of equity capital outflows.
Equity capital inflows decreased $1.5
billion, to $4.9 billion. The decrease
was more than accounted for by the
absence in 1989 of the large inflows
in 1988 that resulted from returns of
capital from, or liquidations of, sev-3
eral Netherlands Antillean affiliates.
Partly offsetting were increased inflows related to selloffs of foreign affiliates by U.S. parent companies that
were restructuring their worldwide
operations, in part to reduce debt.
3. Most of these affiliates were established in the late
1970's and early 1980's to borrow funds in the European
capital markets and relend them to their U.S. parents. The parents were prompted to borrow indirectly
through these affiliates, rather than directly from Euromarkets, because the associated interest payments were
exempt from U.S. withholding taxes under a United
States-Netherlands Antilles tax treaty. To realize this
tax advantage, the affiliates were required to be incorporated separately in the Netherlands Antilles. However, in the third quarter of 1984, the U.S. withholding
tax on interest paid to foreigners was repealed, eliminating the principal advantage to borrowing through
Netherlands Antillean affiliates. Consequently, relatively little new borrowing from these affiliates has
occurred, and repayments of previous borrowings have
increased substantially. Concurrently, U.S. parents
have been liquidating or otherwise reducing their equity
in these affiliates.

By account.—-The $39.9 billion increase in the position consisted of capital outflows of $31.7 billion and valuation adjustments of $8.2 billion. Capital outflows consisted of reinvested
earnings of $22.4 billion and intercompany debt outflows of $14.2 billion,
partly offset by equity capital inflows
of $4.9 billion. (For estimates of capital outflows by account, see table 5 in
"U.S. International Transactions, First
Quarter 1990" in this issue.)
The equity capital inflows reflected
a continuation of the pattern of 1988,
when equity increases to acquire new
affiliates or to increase parents' equity
in existing affiliates, although sizable,
were smaller than equity decreases,
most of which were from partial or total sales of affiliates. Much of the
decreases in equity in both years reflected restructuring of U.S. parents'
worldwide operations.
Petroleum affiliates more than accounted for the equity capital inflows.
Inflows from manufacturing affiliates
were slightly more than offset by outflows to all other affiliates, particularly
those in finance and banking.
In petroleum, the inflows resulted
from the sale of a Canadian affiliate and several North Sea affiliates.
The sale of the Canadian affiliate followed the emergence of its parent from
bankruptcy. The sale was to the Canadian affiliate of a different U.S. parent.
This transaction resulted in net inflows
because, whereas all of the proceeds
of the sale were inflows to the original U.S. parent, only a portion of
the purchase price was financed with
funds supplied by the new U.S. parent.
The proceeds from the sale of North
Sea affiliates—in the United Kingdom
and Norway—were used to reduce the
debt incurred in connection with the
U.S. parent's merger with another U.S.
company.
In manufacturing, the inflows were
spread among affiliates in foods, primary and fabricated metals, machinery, and electrical machinery. In foods,
a U.S. company that had recently
changed ownership through a leveraged buyout sold five European subsidiaries to a French company. (Later
in the year, two of the affiliates were
repurchased by another U.S. food company.) In metals, a foreign-owned
U.S. parent sold its Canadian metalsprocessing affiliate.
In machinery,
the inflows (and related outflows in finance) reflected the swap of a minority
interest in an Italian computer man-




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
ufacturer for an interest in an Italian
holding company. In electrical machinery, the inflows partly reflected a U.S.
parent's sale of part of its interest in a
Japanese joint venture.
The outflows in finance were concentrated in the United Kingdom and
Italy. In the United Kingdom, the outflows reflected the purchase of a London property company and a capital
contribution to a holding company to finance several joint ventures in electrical appliance manufacturing. In Italy,
the outflows resulted from the previously mentioned swap of an interest in
an Italian computer manufacturer for
an interest in an Italian holding company. In banking, the outflows were
mainly capital contributions to affiliates in Europe and "other Asia and
Pacific."
Nearly all of the $14.2 billion of
intercompany debt outflows were accounted for by finance affiliates. About
one-half of the outflows reflected loans
to British affiliates that were partly
to finance investment banking and securities trading activities throughout
Europe, where the pace of mergers
and acquisitions had picked up. The
remainder reflected U.S. parents' repayments of loans to their Netherlands
Antillean finance affiliates. In transportation equipment, a loan by a U.S.
parent to its British affiliate to finance the purchase of another British
company was nearly offset by loans
from two German affiliates to their
respective U.S. parents.
Reinvested earnings, at $22.4 billion, reflected U.S. affiliates' record
profits due to strong economic growth
abroad. By industry, manufacturing
affiliates accounted for two-thirds of
the reinvested earnings. Affiliates in
wholesale trade and finance accounted
for most of the remainder. About
one-half of the reinvested earnings in
manufacturing were in Europe. Reinvested earnings of petroleum affiliates
were very small, because most of their
earnings were distributed.
Valuation adjustments were $8.2
billion.4 Translation adjustments were
a negative $1.5 billion; these are capital gains or losses that arise because of
changes from the end of one accounting
period to the next in the exchange rates
applied in translating affiliates' assets
and liabilities from foreign currencies
4. Valuation adjustments are made to reflect differences between changes in the position, measured at
book value, that occur during the year, and transactions
values used to record capital flows.

into dollars. Large negative adjustments to the position in the United
Kingdom and Japan, which reflected
U.S. dollar appreciation against the
pound and the yen, were partly offset
by positive adjustments to the position
in the other EC(12) countries. The
U.S. dollar depreciated against most of
those countries' currencies, especially
the German mark.
Other valuation adjustments were
$9.7 billion. About one-half of the
adjustments were in petroleum and
mostly reflected the aforementioned
sales of Canadian and North Sea affiliates for more than book value.5 Most
of the remaining adjustments were
in manufacturing. Within manufacturing, the adjustments were widespread, but they were particularly
large in foods because of the previously
mentioned sale of the five European
subsidiaries for more than book value.
By country.—The position in developed countries rose 11 percent ($26.6
billion) to $279.3 billion. Among these
countries, the largest increase by far—
$11.5 billion—was in the United Kingdom. Most of this increase resulted
from loans by U.S. parents to affiliates
in finance, transportation equipment,
and petroleum; the increase may have
partly reflected less favorable borrowing conditions in the United Kingdom
than in the United States. Dampening
the increase was a negative $1.6 billion
translation adjustment that reflected
the appreciation of the dollar vis-avis the pound. Moderate increases in
most other European countries were
mostly attributable to reinvested earnings, particularly those of manufacturing affiliates. They reflected favorable prospects for continued economic
growth. The position in Canada increased $4.2 billion. As in Europe,
the increase was mostly attributable
to reinvested earnings. Positive translation adjustments also contributed to
the increase.
The position in Japan increased $1.4
billion, reflecting several factors: sizable reinvested earnings of affiliates
in most manufacturing industries, a
large loan to a securities firm, and
the acquisition of a minority interest
in an automotive lighting manufacturer. Partly offsetting this increase
were partial sales of minority interests
5. When a foreign affiliate is sold for more than its
book value, a positive valuation adjustment is made to
reflect the difference between the (higher) capital inflow
to the U.S. parent as a result of the sale, and the (lower)
book value removed from the direct investment position.

June 1990

in automobile and electrical machinery
manufacturers, the sale of a wholesaler
of household and personal products,
and the negative translation adjustments that reflected the appreciation
of the dollar against the yen.
In developing countries, the position increased 17 percent ($13.0 billion) to $90.6 billion. Most of the
increase—$10.3 billion—was in Latin
America, particularly in the Netherlands Antilles, Brazil, and Mexico. In
the Netherlands Antilles, the $5.3 billion increase reflected repayments by
U.S. parents of loans from their finance affiliates. Smaller increases in
Brazil and Mexico partly resulted from
the reinvestment of earnings of manufacturing affiliates. The increase in
Brazil may have also reflected restrictions (which were recently lifted) by
that country on repatriations of earnings. The increase in Mexico may have
partly reflected the Government's liberalization of its policies towards foreign investment. The remainder of
the increase in the position in developing countries was mostly in "other
Asia and Pacific," where the high level
of reinvested earnings reflected continued strong growth in most industries.
Except for small declines in Singapore
and Malaysia, the increase in position
was widespread among countries.
Foreign direct investment in the United
States
The foreign direct investment position in the United States increased
22 percent ($72.0 billion) in 1989, to
$400.8 billion, after a 21-percent increase in 1988 (table 4).6 The United
Kingdom had the largest position, at
$119.1 billion, followed by Japan, at
$69.7 billion, and the Netherlands, at
$60.5 billion. As in recent years,
the large number and size of acquisitions of U.S. companies financed from
abroad contributed substantially to the
strong growth. The growth occurred
despite a sizable overall drop in earnings of affiliates and large dividend
payments to foreign parents, which led
to negative reinvested earnings.
Since the mid-1980's, foreign multinational companies have pursued a
strategy of rapid global expansion and
diversification, largely through acqui6. 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.




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
sitions. Acquisitions of U.S. companies
have often been attractive as a means
for foreign companies to gain access to
the large U.S. consumer market and
to benefit from the extended U.S. economic expansion. Some foreign manufacturers may also have been prompted
to invest here because of concern that
the large U.S. trade deficit might lead
to restrictions on their ability to supply
U.S. markets from abroad. Additionally, relatively high saving rates in
several major industrialized countries
and renewed strength in some foreign
stock markets held down the cost of
capital needed for investment in the
United States.7
Capital inflows increased $13.8 billion, to a record $72.2 billion, in 1989.
Equity capital inflows increased substantially, and intercompany debt inflows more than doubled. Reinvested
earnings, in contrast, shifted from positive to negative, as dividend payments
to foreign parents exceeded affiliates'
earnings for the year.
Equity capital inflows increased $6.3
billion, to. $46.7 billion. As in previous years, these inflows financed many
of the acquisitions of U.S. companies.
The largest increases were in manufacturing (specifically, in chemicals and
metals), finance, and real estate.
Intercompany debt inflows increased
$14.1 billion, to $25.6 billion. Although a large portion of these inflows
7. For a discussion of these and other factors affecting foreign direct investment, see "U.S. Business
Enterprises Acquired or Established by Foreign Direct
Investors in 1989," SURVEY OP CURRENT BUSINESS 70 (May
1990): 23-32. The data from BEA's survey of new
foreign direct investments in the United States, summarized in that article, indicate that total outlays to
establish or acquire new U.S. affiliates were $64.6 billion in 1989, down from $72.7 billion in 1988. The
1989 data, however, are preliminary and will be revised up next year. 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 and include disinvestments
as well as increases in investments; however, only
transactions with the foreign parent (or other members
of the foreign parent group) are included. Notwithstanding these differences, the two types of data are
related. Any outlays to acquire or establish new U.S.
affiliates that are funded by foreign parents (or other
members of the foreign parent group) are part of capital inflows, a component of the change in the position.
They represent the portion of capital inflows that finance new foreign direct investments in the United
States. New data on the sources of funding of outlays
to acquire or establish new U.S. affiliates, presented
for the first time in the May 1990 article, indicate that
foreign parent groups provided $44.1 billion of total outlays for new investments in 1989. Thus, $44.1 billion of
the $64.6 billion of new investment outlays, and of the
$72.0 billion change in the direct investment position,
represent capital inflows to finance the acquisition and
establishment of new U.S. affiliates.

helped finance affiliates' acquisitions of
other U.S. companies, the repayment
of loans to existing finance affiliates by
their foreign parents also contributed
substantially to the increase.
Reinvested earnings shifted $6.6 billion, to a negative $0.1 billion. The
shift partly reflected a sharp drop
in earnings, as declines in operating
earnings (earnings excluding capital
gains and losses) in many industries
more than offset an increase in capital gains. It also reflected a large
increase in distributed earnings. Operating earnings declined $7.0 billion,
to $4.2 billion. Capital gains were
$2.6 billion, an increase of $1.7 billion
from 1988. The gains were mostly accounted for by affiliates of Canadian,
British, and Swiss insurance companies and reflected increases in the
value of these affiliates' investment
portfolios. Distributed earnings increased $1.4 billion, to $6.6 billion, in
part because an affiliate of a British
petroleum company made a large dividend payment in the first quarter in
connection with the reorganization of
its North American operations.
By account.—Capital inflows almost
entirely accounted for the $72.0 billion increase in the position in 1989.
Valuation adjustments were a negative
$0.3 billion. Capital inflows consisted
of equity capital inflows of $46.7 billion and intercompany debt inflows of
$25.6 billion, partly offset by negative
reinvested earnings (outflows) of $0.1
billion.
Although a significant portion of
the equity capital inflows funded expansions of existing operations, the
largest individual inflows financed acquisitions of U.S. companies. In 1989,
as in other recent years, several acquisitions of over a billion dollars were
financed by equity capital inflows. The
largest transaction was the merger,
through a stock swap, of a British and
a U.S. pharmaceutical concern. Other
large transactions financed entirely by
equity capital included the acquisition
of a diversified U.S. firm by a Swiss
conglomerate, the acquisition of two
communications businesses by a large
British communications concern, and
the acquisition of a controlling interest in a business-financing firm by a
Japanese bank.
In many other large 1989 acquisitions, the foreign parent provided financing in the form of intercompany
debt or a combination of equity and
debt. A major portion of intercompany

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

64
debt inflows, which reached a record
$25.6 billion, helped finance acquisitions of U.S. companies. Affiliates in
manufacturing and finance accounted
for almost two-thirds of the inflows.
Intercompany debt inflows in manufacturing were particularly large in
food products and machinery. Substantial inflows helped finance the
largest single foreign direct investment
in 1989: The U.S. affiliate of a British
food, drink, and hotel conglomerate acquired a restaurant operator and food
products manufacturer. In machinery,
a Japanese and a Netherlands electronics company made large loans to
their U.S. affiliates.
In finance, inflows were largely attributable to repayments of loans that
affiliates had made to their foreign
parent groups in 1988. Most of the
repayments were of loans by U.S. affiliates of European and Australian
banks to these banks' affiliates in the
Caribbean. The U.S. finance affiliate
of an Italian bank and U.S. affiliates of
Japanese securities firms also received
large loan repayments.

June 1990

lands parent, whose stronger earnings
helped finance several acquisitions in
the United States.

Reinvested earnings declined substantially in several industries, including wholesale trade, manufacturing
(particularly in chemicals), banking,
petroleum, and real estate. In wholesale trade, a considerable portion of
the decline was the result of weaker
earnings by affiliates of Japanese auto
companies. In chemicals, some of the
decline may have been related to the
previously mentioned merger of the
British and U.S. pharmaceutical concerns and to the acquisition of an industrial chemicals concern by a U.S. affiliate of a French-Government-owned
petrochemical company. In banking,
affiliates made dividend payments to
their parents despite declines in earnings. In petroleum, negative reinvested earnings resulted from the large
dividend payment mentioned earlier.
In real estate, operating losses were
widespread.
Although reinvested earnings declined in most industries, those of
some individual affiliates rose significantly. One example was a U.S. food
manufacturing affiliate of a Nether-

By country.—In 1989, parents in
the United Kingdom and Japan realized the largest increases in position,
each accounting for over one-fifth of
the total increase. Among major areas, the EC(12) accounted for almost
three-fifths of the overall increase;
in addition to parents in the United
Kingdom, parents in the Netherlands,
France, and West Germany had large
increases.
The position of British parents increased $17.2 billion, to $119.1 billion.
The largest increases were in manufacturing (particularly in chemicals and
food products) and "other industries"
(particularly in services). Approximately one-half of the total increase
was attributable to two transactions
in manufacturing mentioned earlier:

U.S. pharmaceutical concerns and the

acquisition of the restaurant operator and food products manufacturer.
In services, the aforementioned equity
capital inflows from a communications
concern for the purchase, by an existing services affiliate, of two U.S.
communications businesses were sizable. Two other large equity capital
inflows, one to a wholesale trade affiliate and the other to a manufacturing
affiliate, financed sizable acquisitions.
The position of Japanese parents increased $16.3 billion, to $69.7 billion.
The largest increases were in manufacturing (particularly machinery and
chemicals), real estate, and finance.
The increase in machinery was partly
the result of the previously mentioned
loan to the U.S. affiliate of a Japanese
electronics company. Other machinery
affiliates received capital contributions
from their Japanese parents to expand their operations. In chemicals,
the increase was largely the result of
equity inflows that financed two investments in Pharmaceuticals. In real

estate, the position of Japanese parents grew to $14.3 billion, as U.S.
affiliates continued to make numerous
acquisitions using funds supplied by
their parents. In finance, the increase
was primarily the result of two previously mentioned inflows: The equity
capital for the acquisition of a diversified business-financing firm and the
loan repayments to the U.S. affiliates
of Japanese securities firms.
Capital inflows from the Netherlands, France, and Germany combined
accounted for over one-fourth of the increase in the position. The position
of Netherlands parents increased $11.5
billion, to $60.5 billion; the largest
increase was in manufacturing, particularly in machinery and chemicals. In
machinery, as previously mentioned,
a major Netherlands electronics company loaned a sizable amount of capital
to its U.S. affiliate. In chemicals, a
foreign parent group made loans to its
U.S. affiliate, which acquired two large
U.S. cosmetics firms.

65

The position of French parents increased $5.0 billion, to $16.4 billion.
The increases were centered in manufacturing, particularly in metals and
chemicals. In metals, a French manufacturer of aluminum products contributed additional capital to a U.S.
affiliate acquired in 1988. In chemicals, several Government-owned chemical firms helped finance the operations of their U.S. affiliates, including
acquisitions of other U.S. companies.
The position of German parents increased $4.4 billion, to $28.2 billion;
the largest increase was in manufacturing, particularly in chemicals. The
affiliate of a German chemical and
consumer goods producer acquired a
division of a U.S. chemical corporation. The affiliate of another German
chemical company used a combination
of reinvested earnings, equity inflows,
and intercompany debt inflows to continue its expansion of operations in the
United States, which included several
acquisitions.

assets in the United States was the
result of several factors. U.S. liabilities reported by U.S. banks, excluding U.S. Treasury securities, decreased

of $36.7 billion. Inflows for foreign
direct investment decreased substantially, to $7.6 billion from $21.5 billion.

Petroleum imports increased $2.3

Volume increased 6 percent, as refiners and distributors replenished inventories that were drawn down in the
fourth quarter. Consumption, which
had increased sharply in the fourth

slightly. The average price per barrel
increased 10 percent, from $17.65 to

quarter of 1986.
Since the first quarter of 1988, nonpetroleum imports have grown at an

a result of increased exports and decreased imports, the deficit with Japan
decreased $1.9 billion, to $10.4 billion,
and the deficit with the newly industrialized countries in the Far East decreased $1.8 billion, to $4.6 billion.
Increased exports led to a reduction in
the deficit with Canada of $1.1 billion,
to $1.6 billion, and to a shift in the
balance with Western Europe of $1.4
billion, to a surplus of $0.4 billion. The
deficit with Mexico increased $0.8 billion, to $1.2 billion, and that with the

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

June 1990

Preliminary.

OPEC countries increased $0.8 billion,
to $6.7 billion.
Service transactions

Payments for other private services increased $1.1 billion, to $3.7 billion.
Much of the increase was in net payments for reinsurance, that is, premium payments less losses recovered;
losses recovered, which were unusually
large in the fourth quarter, declined to
more normal levels in the first quarter.
Transfers under U.S. military agency
sales contracts increased $0.4 billion,
to $2.3 billion. Technical services, missiles, and aircraft accounted for the
increase. U.S. direct defense expenditures abroad were virtually unchanged
at $3.7 billion.

Portfolio income.—Receipts of income on other private investment
abroad decreased $0.9 billion, to $16.5
billion. Lower receipts on bank claims,
reflecting a sharply lower level of
claims outstanding as well as lower average yields, accounted for most of the
decrease. Receipts of income on U.S.
Government investment increased $0.2
billion, to $1.7 billion.
Payments of income on other private
investment in the United States decreased $1.0 billion, to $19.1 billion.
Payments on bank liabilities to foreigners decreased $0.7 billion, mostly as a
result of lower average yields. Payments on corporate stocks and bonds
held by foreigners also decreased. Payments of income on U.S. Government
liabilities increased $0.1 billion, to $9.4
billion.
Unilateral transfers
Net unilateral transfers decreased
$1.1 billion, to $3.5 billion, in the first
quarter. A decline in U.S. Government
grants accounted for the decrease.
Fourth-quarter transactions had been
boosted by large U.S. Government
grants to Israel.

ers in Latin America. In February, the
Government of Mexico and its foreign
creditor banks agreed on a program to
restructure Mexico's external debt. As
part of the program, U.S. banks exchanged $3.0 billion in claims for Mexican Government bonds collateralized
by U.S. Treasury bonds. Other bank
claims on Mexico decreased $3.5 billion. In unrelated transactions, claims
on Brazil decreased $2.0 billion, and
claims on Argentina decreased $1.3
billion.
Banks' own claims payable in foreign
currencies were virtually unchanged in
the first quarter, after decreasing $5.6
billion in the fourth. Banks' domestic
customers' claims decreased $3.3 billion, in contrast to an increase of $2.4
billion.
Foreign securities.—Net U.S. purchases of foreign securities were $4.9
billion, compared with $4.1 billion. Net
purchases of bonds more than offset
net sales of stocks.
Net purchases of foreign bonds were
$4.9 billion, compared with $0.3 billion. New issues of foreign bonds in the
United States increased $4.0 billion
to $5.8 billion. Smaller rises in U.S.
bond rates than in foreign rates encouraged the issuance of bonds in the
United States, particularly by Canada
and the World Bank. In addition, Mexico exchanged bonds valued at $2.5
billion for a portion of its outstanding
bank debt as part of the debt restructuring program mentioned previously.
Redemptions were unchanged at $1.3
billion. Net purchases of outstanding
bonds were $0.4 billion, in contrast to
net sales of $0.3 billion.
Transactions in foreign stocks shifted
to net sales of $0.1 billion from net
purchases of $3.8 billion, partly in response to substantial price declines in
most foreign stock markets. Net sales
of Japanese stocks, prompted by both a
record decline in Japanese stock prices
and a marked depreciation of the yen,
accounted for more than one-half of
the shift. Net purchases of German
and Canadian stocks partly offset the
net sales of Japanese stocks. Interest in German stocks was sustained by
that country's strong economy and the
appreciation of the mark.
Direct investment.—Net outflows for
U.S. direct investment abroad were
$7.6 billion, compared with $8.8 billion. A large shift to intercompany
debt inflows more than offset a shift
to equity capital outflows and an increase in reinvested earnings. Intercompany debt shifted from outflows of
$6.6 billion to inflows of $0.5 billion.




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
The shift reflected the partial repayment of a few unusually large loans
made in the fourth quarter to affiliates in the United Kingdom and the
Caribbean. Equity capital shifted from
inflows of $2.0 billion to outflows of
$1.8 billion; a $1.0 billion purchase
of petroleum properties from a British
company and the absence of two large
sales that had dominated the fourth
quarter were largely responsible. Reinvested earnings increased $2.1 billion,
to $6.3 billion.
Foreign assets in the United States
Foreign assets in the United States
decreased $27.5 billion in the first
quarter, in contrast to an increase of
$69.3 billion in the fourth. A large
swing in bank liabilities, greatly reduced inflows for foreign direct investment in the United States, and much
lower net purchases of U.S. securities other than U.S. Treasury securities
accounted for the shift.
Foreign official assess.—Foreign official assets in the United States decreased $8.8 billion, compared with a
decrease of $7.0 billion (table B). Assets of industrial countries decreased
$8.3 billion, compared with a decrease
of $2.3 billion. The decrease in the first
quarter may have partly reflected intervention sales of dollars in February
and March. Assets of OPEC members
increased $3.0 billion, compared with a
decrease of $1.4 billion. Assets of other

countries decreased $3.5 billion, compared with a decrease of $3.4 billion;
the first-quarter decrease included a
partly offsetting purchase by Mexico of
$3.0 billion of U.S. Treasury bonds as
collateral for bonds exchanged for bank
debt.
Liabilities reported by banks.—U.S.
liabilities reported by U.S. banks, excluding U.S. Treasury securities, decreased $28.1 billion, in contrast to an
increase of $36.7 billion. Banks' own
liabilities payable in dollars decreased
$35.9 billion, primarily because the
sharp drop in foreign demand for U.S.
bank credit lowered requirements for
foreign funds. Most of the decrease occurred in January; liabilities increased
somewhat in March as banks resumed
drawing on foreign funds in order to
increase lending in the United States.
Repayment in the first quarter of unusually large borrowings by Japaneseowned banks in the fourth quarter also
contributed to the decrease. Banks'
own liabilities payable in foreign currencies were almost unchanged in the
first quarter, after decreasing $6.2 billion in the fourth. Banks' custody
liabilities increased $7.7 billion, after
having been unchanged in the fourth
quarter.
U.S. Treasury securities.—Net foreign sales of U.S. Treasury securities
were $0.9 billion, in contrast to net
purchases of $5.7 billion. Marketable
bonds and notes largely accounted for
the shift to net sales; net purchases
of short-term Treasury obligations increased slightly. Investors in Canada
and Japan reduced their holdings of
Treasury securities, while investors in
the United Kingdom increased them at
a much slower rate.
Other U.S. securities.—Foreign acquisitions of U.S. securities other than
U.S. Treasury securities were $2,7 billion, compared with $10.8 billion. Net
purchases of corporate and U..S. agency
bonds more than offset net sales of
stocks.
Net foreign purchases of U.S. corporate and agency bonds were $6.1 billion, compared with $12.5 billion. U.S.
corporations lowered new bond issues
abroad to $3.1 billion from $4.6 billion, as foreign bond yields rose faster
than bond yields in the United States.
For the same reason, foreign investors
reduced net purchases of agency and
other outstanding bonds to $3.0 billion
from $7.9 billion.
Foreign investors sold $3.4 billion
of U.S. stocks, following net sales of
$1.7 billion. The relatively low prof-

June 1990

its reported by U.S. corporations for
1989 contributed to the higher sales.
Japanese investors shifted from net
purchases of $1.2 billion in the fourth
quarter to net sales of $0.7 billion
in the first. Western European and
Canadian investors, who had sold $2.9
billion of U.S. stocks in the fourth quarter, sold $1.7 billion of U.S. stocks in
the first.
Direct investment.—Net inflows for
foreign direct investment in the United
States were $7.6 billion, compared
with $21.5 billion. A sharp decrease in
equity capital inflows (from exceptionally large inflows in the fourth quarter) and a shift to intercompany debt
outflows largely accounted for the decrease. Equity capital inflows were
$10.0 billion, compared with $15.7 billion. Although inflows from most
countries and areas decreased, nearly
two-thirds of the decrease was in inflows from Japan. Intercompany debt
shifted to outflows of $1.2 billion from
inflows of $6.4 billion. The shift
reflected partial repayments of loans
extended by foreign parents in 1989
for the acquisition of U.S. businesses.
Reinvested earnings were negative because dividends paid to shareholders
exceeded earnings.

Technical Notes
As is customary each June, estimates of U.S. international transactions are revised to incorporate new
source data, improved methodologies,
and changes in definitions. Several
major improvements are introduced
this year.
• Services have been redefined to
exclude investment income, and services and investment income have been
given positions of equal importance
in tables 1 and 10. Corresponding
changes have been made to the presentation of partial balances in tables 1
and 10.
• Transfers of goods and services
under U.S. military grant programs,
net (previously shown in line 15) have
been combined with transfers under
U.S. military agency sales contracts in
new line 4, and U.S. grants of goods
and services, net (previously shown in
line 30) have been combined with U.S.
Government grants in new line 30.
• Capital gains and losses associated
with currency translation adjustments
have been removed from U.S. direct
investment income and from U.S. direct investment capital flows. These




71

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
translation adjustments are more appropriately classified as valuation adjustments to the direct investment position than as income and capital flows
in the international accounts.
• Additional work has been completed on the services estimates introduced last June. Refinements were
made to travel and passenger fare receipts and payments and to education
services receipts and payments. Revisions to noninterest income earned by
banks and to direct defense expenditures abroad were extended to earlier
years.
• Information from the U.S. Treasury Department's benchmark survey
of foreign portfolio investment in the
United States for 1984 has been incorporated. The information resulted in
increases to previous estimates of U.S.
Government income payments and of
stock dividends paid to foreigners.
• The definition of principal enduse categories for merchandise exports
has been changed to include reexports. Reexports—that is, exports
of foreign merchandise—are now assigned to detailed end-use categories
in the same manner as exports of
domestic merchandise.
Table 1 presents annual estimates
of U.S. international transactions for
1960-89 and quarterly estimates (both
unadjusted and adjusted for seasonal
variation) for 1978-89.
Table 2

presents annual merchandise trade estimates for 1978-89 and quarterly estimates for 1988-89. Tables 3-10
present account and area detail for annual estimates for 1987-89 and quarterly estimates for 1988-89. Table 3
on selected international service transactions has been expanded to include
additional detail on royalties and fees
and on insurance transactions. Tables
P and G present updated estimates for
the detailed presentation of other private services transactions and for royalties and license fee transactions with
unaffiliated foreigners, respectively.
Seasonal adjustment factors—for the
current-account items that show seasonal patterns, for repayments on U.S.
Government credits and other longterm assets, and for U.S. direct investment abroad—were recalculated by extending through 1989 the period used
to derive the factors. For merchandise exports, seasonal factors were recalculated for 1978-89 to account for
the assignment of reexports—that is,
exports of foreign merchandise—to detailed end-use commodity categories
in the same manner as exports of
domestic merchandise.
Redefinition of services

The term "services" has been redefined to exclude investment income,

1. Engineering, architectural, construction, and mining services are published net of merchandise exports, which are included in the
merchandise trade account, and net of outlays abroad for wages, services, materials, and other expenses.

72
10 has been changed. Beginning
with this presentation, services are defined to include only services such as
travel, other transportation, and business, professional, and technical services. Investment income is no longer
considered as part of services and is
given a position of importance equal to
services in tables 1 and 10. This redefinition aligns the terms more closely
with general usage, and is consistent
with work that is underway to enhance the harmonization of classification systems of foreign sector accounts
contained in the International Monetary Fund's Balance of Payments Manual and the United Nation's System of
National Accounts.
The redefinition of services necessitates corresponding changes in the
partial balances that appear as memoranda items at the end of the tables 1
and 10. The four basic building blocks
of the balance on current account
are now merchandise, services, investment income, and unilateral transfers.
Thus, the partial balances are as follows: Balance on merchandise trade;
balance on services (redefined); balance on investment income; and unilateral transfers. The components are
combined into the balance on goods,
services, and income and the balance
on current account. The balance on
goods, services, and income is equivalent to the previously defined balance
on goods and services. Both are equivalent to net exports of goods and services in the national income and product accounts (after adjustments for a
few conceptual differences between the
two sets of accounts). The revised
partial balances are presented on an
annual basis from 1960 to the present
and on a quarterly basis from 1978 to
the present in table 1.
Memoranda items previously presented in lines 71 and 72 have been
dropped. These items related to calculation of the official settlements balance, which BEA has not published for
some time. The balance on goods, services, and remittances has also been
dropped.
Reclassification of U.S. military grants

In another change to tables 1 and
10, transfers of goods and services
under U.S. military grant programs,
net (previously shown in line 15) have
been combined with transfers under
U.S. military agency sales contracts in
new line 4, and U.S. military grants
of goods and services, net (previously
shown in line 30) have been combined

with U.S. Government grants in the
new line 30. The changes combine
various U.S. Government military exports, whether by sale or by gift, in
new line 4, and combine all U.S. Government grants in new line 30. The
change affects the balance on services
(redefined) and the balance on goods,
services, and income, but the balance
on current account is unaffected. The
amounts shifted to new lines 4 and
30 averaged $354 million annually in
1976-85 and $67 million annually in
1985-89. This change in classification
has been taken back to 1960.
Removal of currency translation
adjustments from direct investment

Capital gains and losses associated with currency translation adjustments—that is, gains and losses that
arise because of changes from the end
of one accounting period to the next
in exchange rates applied in translating affiliates' assets and liabilities from
foreign currencies into dollars—have
been removed from U.S. direct investment abroad income receipts and from
the reinvested earnings component of
U.S. direct investment abroad capital,
where the adjustments were entered
with the opposite sign from that in the
current account.
In principle, currency translation
adjustments should be removed from
both U.S. direct investment abroad and
foreign direct investment in the United
States. However, for now, because of
data limitations discussed below, the
adjustments were removed only from
U.S. direct investment abroad.
U.S. companies must report data in
dollars on the direct investment surveys conducted by BEA. Companies are
instructed to follow generally accepted

June 1990

accounting principles which, for translation of affiliate accounts into dollars,
are contained in Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 52
(FASB-52). Until now, translation adjustments that resulted from applying
FASB-52 were summed with other capital gains and losses and included in
direct investment income and direct
investment capital.
Translation adjustments arise when
U.S. parent companies translate foreign affiliates' assets and liabilities
into dollars. They are not reflected
in foreign affiliates' accounts, stated in
foreign currencies, and are not available for distribution. However, translation adjustments are a component of
the change in the value of direct investment, measured in dollars, from
the perspective of the U.S. parent.
Thus, BEA's removal of these gains
and losses from direct investment income and capital recognizes that they
are more appropriately classified as
valuation adjustments to the U.S. direct investment position abroad rather
than as income and capital flows in the
international accounts.
Capital gains and losses other than
currency translation adjustments continue to be included in direct investment income and capital. Such gains
and losses are included in either affiliates' net income or taken directly to
retained earnings, are reflected in affiliates' accounts measured in foreign
currencies, and are generally available
for distribution as dividends.
Implementation of the change.—The
absence of separate data on translation
adjustments affected implementation
of the revised treatment of translation adjustments. Only data on capital
gains and losses included in affiliates'
net income, and, separately, gains and
losses taken directly to equity, were
available. The latter included, but
did not separately identify, translation
adjustments.
For U.S. direct investment abroad,
data were revised back through 1982,
the year that many U.S. companies
began using FASB-52 to translate affiliate accounts. Based on knowledge of
U.S. accounting practices, discussions
with reporting companies, and inspection of the data, BEA was confident
that, in the historical data, translation
adjustments accounted for by far the
largest portion of total capital gains
and losses taken directly to equity.
Thus, all capital gains and losses taken
to equity were assumed to be translation adjustments and were removed

June 1990

from direct investment income and
capital flows. The impact on published
estimates is shown in table H.
Beginning in the second quarter of
1990, BEA's quarterly report forms
for U.S. direct investment abroad will
identify translation adjustments separately from other capital gains and
losses taken directly to equity. From
then on, only translation adjustments,
not all capital gains and losses taken
to equity, will be removed from direct
investment income and capital flows.
For foreign direct investment in
the United States, no revisions are
being made now. Translation adjustments do arise on the books of U.S.
affiliates that have foreign affiliates,
themselves. However, evidence from
BEA's recently completed 1987 benchmark survey of foreign direct investment in the United States suggests
that the amounts are quite small.
For 1982-86, BEA was unable to isolate these small amounts from other
reported capital gains and losses taken
to equity. For 1987 forward, data
on capital gains and losses from the
benchmark survey will be reviewed
over the next year. If, in the course
of that review, translation adjustments
can be isolated, they will be removed
from foreign direct investment income
and capital flows, and revised estimates will be presented in the June
1991 SURVEY.
Beginning in the first quarter of
1991, BEA's quarterly report forms
for foreign direct investment in the
United States will identify translation
adjustments separately from other capital gains and losses taken directly
to equity. From then on, translation
adjustments will be removed from foreign direct investment in the United
States income and capital flows in a
manner parallel to that for U.S. direct
investment abroad.
Revised estimates of services

Several of the services estimates
that were introduced last June have
been refined or extended back to earlier
years.
Travel and passenger fares.—Refinements have been made to the overseas
travel and passenger fare estimates
for 1984:11-1988:111 that were introduced last June. New source data
have been incorporated for 1988:IV1989:111. Estimates for 1989:IV-1990:I
are extrapolations. A methodological
change was made to travel payments
for all quarters to boost the number
of travelers in geographical areas or

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
countries that were underrepresented
in the survey upon which the estimates
are based. The average annual revisions were as follows: Travel receipts,
-$198 million; passenger fare receipts,
-$11 million; travel payments, $734
million; and passenger fare payments,
$69 million. Limitations of these estimates remain much the same as were
discussed in the June 1989 SURVEY.
Education.—Refinements have been
made to estimates introduced last June
for education services for 1981-89 to
include a more accurate count of the
number of students for both exports
and imports. Updated parameters
and source data were incorporated for
1988-89. The average annual revision
for exports was an increase of $20 million and for imports was a decrease of
$5 million.
Noninterest income.—Noninterest income earned by banks, which was
reclassified from portfolio income re-

ceipts to other private service receipts
for 1986-89 last June, has now been
reclassified for 1978-1985; 1978 is the
first year for which noninterest income is available. The average annual
revision was $1,445 million.
Direct defense expenditures abroad.—
Direct defense expenditures abroad
have been reestimated for 1984-86
to correct for an underestimate of
military purchases of petroleum from
sources abroad. The correction has
been carried forward through 1989.
The average annual revision was $442
million.
Information from U.S. Treasury
benchmark survey

Limited information from the U.S.
Treasury Department's benchmark survey of foreign portfolio investment in
the United States for 1984 is now
available.

U.S. Government income payments.—
Based on that survey, foreign holdings
of U.S. Treasury marketable bonds
were revised up $12.6 billion in 1984,
and holdings of U.S. agency issues
were revised up $2.1 billion in 1984.
Estimates of holdings for 1985-89 were
also revised up by the same amount.
Related U.S. Government income payments were revised up $1.4 billion in
1984. The average annual upward revision to income payments in 1985-89
was $1.6 billion. The estimates for income payments have been extrapolated
back to 1980 in proportion to trading
in bonds in each year.
Dividend payments.—Details from
the Treasury survey also suggested an
underestimate of dividend payments
on U.S. stocks. Therefore, estimates of
dividend payments to foreigners were
revised up $736 million in 1984. The
annual upward revision in dividend
payments rose to $2.7 billion in 1989.
The estimates have been extrapolated
back to 1980 in proportion to trading
in U.S. stocks in each year.
Previous estimates were based on a
direct measure of dividend payments




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

obtained from the 1978 benchmark
survey and brought forward by yields
multiplied by changes in trading in
U.S. stocks. Because no direct measure of income is available from the
1984 survey or from the 1989 survey
(in progress), a change in methodology
was introduced to limit underestimates
in future years and to reflect current
conditions more accurately. For 1984
and later years, the dividend yield on
the Standard and Poor's 500 stock index is applied to positions outstanding
developed from the Treasury survey by
BEA to derive dividend payments to
foreigners.

U.S. balance of payments adjustments
for timing, coverage, and valuation
previously made to the Census-basis
data.
For 1988 and 1989, balance of payments adjustments of $300 million
and $535 million, respectively, were
made to Census-basis data for the
understatement of imports of crude
petroleum from Canada.
Reexports.—A change has been made
to the definition of principal end-use
export categories.
Reexports—that
is, exports of foreign merchandise—
which were previously shown separately in table 2, have now been assigned to detailed end-use categories
in the same manner as exports of
domestic merchandise. In 1989, reexports totaled $14.3 billion. The
growth of reexports in recent years
largely reflects expansion of manufacturing activities within foreign trade
zones, particularly the manufacture of
capital goods and consumer goods. Revised end-use commodity export series
have been prepared for 1978-89; seasonal adjustment factors have been
reestimated.

Improvements to merchandise trade

Canada.—Beginning in the first
quarter of 1990, U.S.-compiled exports to Canada are replaced with the
counterpart Canadian import statistics, and Canadian-compiled exports to
the United States are replaced with
the counterpart U.S. import statistics.
This exchange of statistics between the
Census Bureau and Statistics Canada
eliminates the need for many of the

Footnotes to U.S. International Transactions Tables l-10a
P Preliminary.

General notes for all tables:
*Less than $500,000 (±)
n.a. Not available.

Table 1:
1. Credits, +: Exports of goods and services; unilateral transfers to United States; capital
inflows (increase in foreign assets (U.S. liabilities) or decrease in U.S. assets); decrease in U.S.
official reserve assets; increase in foreign official assets in the United States.
Debits, -: Imports of goods and services; unilateral transfers to foreigners; capital outflows
(decrease in foreign assets (U.S. liabilities) or increase in U.S. assets); increase in U.S. official
reserve assets; decrease in foreign offical assets in the United States.
2. Excludes 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 2.
3. Includes some goods: Mainly military equipment in line 4; major equipment, other materials,
supplies, and petroleum products purchased abroad by U.S. military agencies in line 18; and fuels
purchased by airline and steamship operators in lines 7 and 21.
4. Includes transfers of goods and services under U.S. military grant programs.
5. Beginning in 1982, line 8 and line 22 are redefined to include only net receipts and payments
for the use or sale of intangible property rights. Other services are reclassified to lines 9 and 23.
6. Affiliated and unaffiliated transactions, previously shown separately, have been combined.
7. For all areas, amounts outstanding March 31, 1990, were as follows in millions of dollars:
Line 34,76,303; line 35,11,060; line 36,10,092; line 37,8,727; line 38,46,424. Data are preliminary.
8. Includes sales of foreign obligations to foreigners.
9. Consists of bills, certificates, marketable bonds and notes, and nonmarketable convertible
and nonconvertible bonds and notes.
10. Consists of U.S. Treasury and Export-Import Bank obligations, not included elsewhere, and
of debt securities of U.S. Government corporations and agencies.
11. 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.
12. Consists of investments in U.S. corporate stocks and in debt securities of private corporations
and State and local governments.
13. Conceptually, the sum of lines 69 and 62 is equal to "net foreign investment" in the national
income and product accounts (NIPA's). However, the foreign transactions account in the NIPA's
(a) includes adjustments to the international transactions accounts for the treatment of gold, (b)
excludes capital gains and losses of foreign affiliates of U.S. parent companies from the NIPA's
measure of income receipts from direct investment abroad, and from the corresponding income
payments on direct investment in the United States, (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).
14. 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 4 as a long-term
lease to Australia.
15. Includes extraordinary U.S. Government transactions with India. See "Special U.S.
Government Transactions," June 1974 SURVEY, p. 27.
16. Includes foreign currency-denominated notes sold to private residents abroad.
17. Break in series. See Technical Notes in the June 1989 and June 1990 SURVEY.
Table 2:
1. Exports, Census basis, represent transactions 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 in the 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 in the 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 SURVEY and in the June 1988 SURVEY). 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. Beginning in 1990, the Census Bureau replaced its compiled export statistics with counterpart
Canadian import statistics. Similarly, Statistics Canada replaced its compiled export statistics with
counterpart U.S. import statistics. This exchange of data has eliminated the need for the inland
freight adjustmen£ on U.S. exports, but not on U.S. imports.
3. Adjustments in lines A5 and A13, B12, B47, and B82 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 Al.
4. 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 and 10, line 4 (transfers under U.S. military agency sales contracts); the imports are
included in tables 1 and 10, line 18 (direct defense expenditures).
5. 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; coverage adjustments
for special situations in which shipments were omitted from Census data; deduction of the value
of repairs and alterations to foreign-owned equipment shipped to the United States for repair; and
the inclusion of fish exported outside of U.S. customs area.
6. 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 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; coverage adjustments for
special situations in which shipments were omitted from Census data; and the deduction of the
value of repairs and alterations to U.S.-owned equipment shipped abroad for repair.
7. Correction for the understatement of crude petroleum imports from Canada in 1988 and
1989.
8. Beginning in 1986, New Zealand and South Africa are included in "Other countries in Asia
and Africa," with New Zealand included as part of "Asia" and South Africa as part of "Africa."
9. Annual and unadjusted quarterly data shown in this table correspond to country and area
data in table 10, lines 2 and 16. Trade with international organizations includes purchases of
nonmonetary gold from the 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 America and
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."
10. Includes nuclear fuel materials and fuels.
Table 3:
1. Patented techniques, processes, and formulas and other intangible property rights that are
used in goods production.
2. Copyrights, trademarks, franchises, rights to broadcast live events, and other intangible
property rights.
3. Other unaffiliated services receipts (exports) include mainly expenditures of foreign governments and international organizations in the United States. Payments (imports) include mainly




wages of foreign residents temporarily employed in the United States and Canadian and Mexican
commuters in U.S. border areas.
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.

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.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

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 1986 forward were published in
the September 1989 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS.

Major revision-see notes.

L,C,Lg,U Cyclical indicator series are classified as L (leading), C (coincident), Lg (lagging), or U (unclassified) at reference cycle peaks, troughs, and overall.
Series classifications are shown in parentheses following the series titles.
$ Cyclical indicator series denoted by $ are inverted (i.e., the sign is reversed) for cyclical analysis calculations, including classifications, contributions to
composite indexes, and current high values.
t Cyclical indicator series denoted by f are smoothed by an autoregressive-moving-average filter developed by Statistics Canada.
For information on composite indexes and other concepts used in this section, see "Composite Indexes of Leading, Coincident, and Lagging Indicators" in
the November 1987 issue of the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS (pages 24-27) and "Business Cycle Indicators: Revised Composite Indexes" in the January 1989
issue of the SURVEY (pages 23-28).
References to series in this section use the prefix "BCI-" followed by the series number. Unless otherwise noted, series are seasonally adjusted.
Percent change data are centered within the spans: 1-month changes are placed in the ending month, 3-month changes are placed in the 3d month, 6-month
changes are placed in the 4th month, 1-quarter changes are placed in the ending quarter, and 4-quarter changes are placed in the 3d quarter.
Diffusion indexes are defined as the percent of components rising plus one-half of the percent of components unchanged.
High values reached by cyclical indicators since the last reference cycle trough (November 1982) are bolded; high values reached prior to the period shown
in the table are listed in the notes. For inverted series, low values are indicated as highs.
Sources for series in this section are shown on pages C-27 and C-28 in the April 1990 SURVEY.
