the BUSINESS SITUATION
AS OF MID-MAKCH, the source
data required to estimate the firstquarter national income and product
accounts are incomplete and in some
cases preliminary. However, the data
required to estimate personal income,
taxes, and outlays are more adequate
than those required to estimate other
components of the accounts and provide
the basis for publishing monthly estimates of these items. The estimates for
2 months of the quarter, in turn, provide the basis for a quarterly projection,
which is particularly useful because
consumers receive most of the Nation's
income and give rise to the bulk of the
demand for GNP. As will be seen, the
projection indicates that the increase in
personal consumption expenditures
(PCE) was strong in the first quarter
despite a weakening in the increase in
personal income.
Personal income and its disposition
Personal income increased $59 billion
in the first quarter, $15 billion less than
in the fourth quarter of 1980 (table I).1
For wage and salary disbursements,
personal interest income, and personal
contributions for social insurance, there
was a substantial difference between the
sizes of the fourth- and first-quarter increases. Wages and salaries increased
$4:11/2 billion, compared with $56 billion
in the fourth quarter. Most of the deceleration was in government and government enterprises and in manufacturing. In government, a Federal pay raise
had added $6 billion to the fourth-quarter increase. In manufacturing, the de1. Quarterly estimates in the national income

celeration was mainly due to employment and average hours, both of which
steadied after substantial increases. On
January 1, the minimum wage was
raised from $3.10 to $3.35 per hour,
raising first-quarter wages and salaries
$2 billion. Despite this step-up, the effect of which was concentrated in the
distributive and service industries,
wages and salaries in the former increased less than in the fourth quarter
and in the latter held steady.
In personal interest income, a major
factor in the unusually large difference
between the sizes of the fourth- and
first-quarter increases—$8 billion compared with $16% billion—was interest
paid by the Federal Government. The
larger first-quarter increase was due to
higher interest rates in conjunction
with an increase in Federal debt on
which interest is paid to persons, either
directly or through financial intermediaries.
Personal contributions for social insurance, which are deducted in deriving
personal income, increased $101/£ billion,
compared with $3 billion in the fourth
quarter. The first-quarter increase included $9 billion due to the statutory
changes in the tax rate and taxable wage
base for social security. The change in
the tax rate, from 6.13 percent to 6.65
percent, raised personal contributions
$6% billion, and the change in the wage
base, from $25,900 to $29,700, raised
them $21/2 billion.
Partly due to the deceleration in
wages and salaries, personal taxes increased only $12 billion, compared with
$171/2 billion in the fourth quarter. In
addition, taxes were held down by the
impact of legislation, including changes

in the indexing procedure used in California to adjust personal taxes for the
effects of inflation. Disposable personal
income increased $47 billion, compared
with $56% billion. Personal outlays increased $64% billion, compared with
$70 billion—in both quarters more than

New car prices were held down by
cash rebates introduced in February.
The slowing of food price increases from
the 16-17 percent (annual rate) registered in the second half of 1980 was
largely due to meat prices. There were
sharp jumps in the prices of fresh
vegetables, reflecting reduced supplies
following the mid-January freeze in
Florida, and of fats and oils, reflecting
damage to the peanut crop. PCE energy
prices accelerated sharply from the
single-digit rates of increase registered
in the second half of 1980. An acceleration in gasoline and fuel oil prices was
due to a combination of increased prices
for OPEC and other imported crude
oil, and the decontrol of domestic crude
oil and of refined petroleum products on
January 28. (Gasoline was the only
major refined product still subject to
Federal controls; see "PCE Energy
Prices, 1978-80" in the October 1980
SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS.) Electricity price increases reflected passthroughs (in the form of fuel adjustments in consumers' bills) of higher
prices of petroleum products used in
electricity production, and, to a lesser
extent, the effects of drought on hydroelectric production, which caused
increased reliance on higher priced
energy inputs.
Real PCE increased about 6 percent
at an annual rate in the first quarter.2
Its unusual strength was due to motor
vehicles and parts; all other PCE combined increased about 4 percent. Among
the major components, only electricity

2. The major source data that shed light on firstquarter GNP components are limited to 1 or 2
months of the quarter, and in some cases are preliminary. These data are: For personal consumption expenditures (PCE), January and February
retail sales, unit sales of new autos through the
first 10 days of March, and sales of new trucks for
January and February; for nonresidential fixed investment, the same data for autos and trucks as
for PCE, January construction put in place, January manufacturers' shipments of equipment, and
business investment plans for the quarter; for residential investment, January construction put in
place, and housing starts for January and February ; for change in business inventories, January
book values for manufacturing and trade, and unit
auto inventories for January and February; for
net exports of goods and services, January merchandise trade ; for government purchases of goods
and services, Federal unified budget outlays for
January, State and local construction put in place
for January, and State and local employment for
January and February; and for GNP prices, the
Consumer Price Index for January, and the Producer Price Index for January and February.

and natural gas declined; a factor in
the decline was unseasonably mild
weather in February.
In motor vehicles, purchases of cars
increased again, and purchases of trucks
turned up. In terms of units, sales of
new passenger cars, which are sales to
business and other final users as well
as to consumers, averaged 10.0 million
(seasonally adjusted annual rate) in
January-February, up from 9.1 million
in the fourth quarter. Import sales were
up to 2.8 million from 2.5 million. Domestic sales, which were up to 7.3 million from 6.7 million, were boosted by
the cash rebate programs. For each domestic size category, sales in JanuaryFebruary were up from the fourth
quarter (chart 1).
Other components of GNP
Real residential investment, which reflects housing starts with a lag, was up
about 10 percent at an annual rate.
Housing starts had increased through
the second half of 1980 before turning
down in January-February (chart 2).
The increase in the residential investment total was held down by a decline
in commissions on the sale of new and
existing houses; new construction was
up substantially more than 10 percent.
Multif aniily construction was especially
strong. Although it was only one-third
of new construction, it contributed
almost one-half of its first-quarter
increase.
Despite continued excess capacity and
expensive financing, real nonresidential
fixed investment increased again in the
first quarter. The 9-percent annual rate
increase reflected unusually strong investment in motor vehicles and 5-percent increases both in structures and in
producers' durable equipment other
than motor vehicles. (Business investment as reported in the Plant and
Equipment Survey is discussed later in
this issue.)
A 2-percent annual rate increase in
real government purchases was largely
accounted for by the price support operations of the Commodity Credit Corporation. Over the past year, these
operations have accounted for most of
the quarterly changes in government
purchases.

rate was 7.3 percent, down from 7.5 percent in the fourth quarter. The rates for
adult men and adult women declined,
but that for teenagers continued its
uptrend.
The payroll measure of employment
increased 618,000, about 200,000 less
than in the fourth quarter. The deceleration was in construction and manufacturing—largely durables. The bulk of
the first-quarter increase was in distributive industries (254,000) and services
(228,000).
Average weekly hours in the private
nonfarm economy declined 0.3 hours in
February to 35.2 hours, after increasing
since August. The decline was in construction and manufacturing. Adverse
weather conditions in the Midwest and
Southeast prevailed during the week of
the payroll survey and were a major
factor in the decline.
Fourth-quarter corporate profits
In the fourth quarter of 1980, corporate profits from current production—profits with inventory valuation
and capital consumption adjustments—
increased $5 billion, following an $8i£
billion increase in the third. With these

corporations' profits resulted primarily
from savings and loan associations'
swing from losses to profits. A major
factor in the $3 billion decrease of
profits from the rest of the world was
profits of the overseas petroleum operations of U.S. corporations.
Disposition of profits.—Before-tax
profits increased $11% billion in the
fourth quarter, following an increase of
$191/£ billion in the third quarter. These
profits exclude the two valuation adjustments, which are designed to value inventories and fixed capital used up in
production at replacement costs, the
valuation concept underlying national
income and product accounting, rather
than at historical cost, the concept generally underlying; business accounting.3
If, as in the fourth quarter, the historical cost of inventories used up is less
than their replacement cost, profits as
measured by business exceed profit as
measured in the NTPA's by an amount
that is called inventory profits. Inventory profits increased $6% billion in the
fourth quarter, following an increase of
$10% billion in the third. If, as in the
fourth quarter, fixed capital used up as
measured by business is less than that
as measured in the NIPA's, business
profits exceed NIPA profits by an
amount that is equal to the underdepreciation of the fixed capital stock. The
profits attributable to underdepreciation were unchanged in the fourth
quarter, following an increase of $%
billion in the third.
Corporate profits taxes, which are
levied on profits including inventory
profits and profits attributable to underpreciation, increased $6% billion in
the fourth quarter, a little less than in
the third. Dividends increased $1 billion in both the third and fourth quarters. Undistributed profits increased $4
billion in the fourth quarter, following
an increase of Sll1/^ billion in the third.

The Federal Sector in the Fourth
Quarter
The Federal government deficit as
measured in the NIPA's declined $6
billion in the fourth quarter of 1980, as
receipts increased more than expenditures. The fourth-quarter deficit was
$68 billion, compared with a deficit of
$24% billion in the fourth quarter of
1979^
Receipts increased $32 billion in the
fourth quarter, compared with $20 billion in the third. Personal tax and nontax receipts increased $13% billion, reflecting a large increase in wages and
salaries. Contributions for social insurance increased $7 billion and corporate
profits tax accruals increased $6 billion.
Of a $6 billion increase in indirect business tax and nontax accruals, $5 billion
was in the windfall profits tax.
Expenditures increased $26 billion,
slightly more than in the third quarter.
Purchases of goods and services increased $17 billion, including $6% billion for a 9.1-percent civilian and military pay raise. Agricultural price support operations of the Commodity
Credit Corporation contributed $4%
billion to the increase in purchases and
the resumption of purchases of petroleum for the Strategic Petroleum Eeserve contributed $2 billion. Grants-inaid to State and local governments increased $4 billion, largely for public assistance and water treatment plants.
Transfer payments to persons increased

Table 5.8-5.9:
1. The inventory valuation adjustment (IVA) shown in this table differs from that which
adjusts business income. The IVA in this table reflects the mix of methods (first-in-first-out,
last-in-first-out, etc.) underlying book value inventories derived primarily from Census
Bureau statistics. The mix differs from that underlying business income derived from statistics
tabulated by the Internal Revenue Service and other sources.
Table 5.10-5.11:
1. Inventories are as of the end of the quarter. The quarter-to-quarter change in inventories
calculated from current-dollar inventories in this table is not the current-dollar change in
business inventories (CBI) component of GNP. The former is the difference between two
inventory stocks, each valued at their respective end-of-quarter prices. The latter is the change
in the physical volume of inventories valued at average prices of the quarter. In addition,
changes calculated from this table are at quarterly rates, whereas CBI is stated at annual rates.
Quarter-to-quarter changes calculated from the constant-dollar inventories shown in this
table are at quarterly rates, whereas the constant-dollar change in business inventories component of GNP is stated at annual rates.
2. Quarterly totals at monthly rates.
3. Business final sales equals final sales less gross product of households and institutions,
government, and rest-of-the-world.
4. Business final sales include a small amount of final sales by farms.

Pollution Abatement and Control
Expenditures, 1972-79
R

EAL spending for pollution abatement and control (PAC) increased l1/^
percent in 1979, compared with 5 percent in 1978 and an average annual rate
of 6 percent during 1972-78. Air PAC
spending increased 2i£ percent in 1979,
and water PAC spending decreased
V/2 percent. Spending for solid waste
collection and disposal increased 6
percent. Additional highlights are:
• Real spending for PAC amounted
to $26.1 billion (1972 dollars) in
1979.
• Prices for PAC goods and services
increased more in 1979 than in any
year since 1974.
• Business was the only sector with a
real spending increase in 1979.
Government spending declined 2
percent, and personal consumption
was unchanged (chart 4).
• Real spending by government
enterprises for sewer systems, the
largest single component of PAC,
decreased 3y2 percent in 1979, compared with a 14i^> percent increase
in 1978.
This article discusses real spending
for PAC and prices in 1979, evaluates
the limited data for 1980 available as
of mid-March, presents revised estimates of spending for 1972-78, and
analyses trends in real spending for
1972-79. PAC expenditures are for reducing the emission of pollutants and
for the collection and disposal of solid
wastes by means acceptable to Federal,
State, and local authorities. PAC expenditures consist of those for pollution
abatement (PA), which reduce emissions directly, and for regulation and
monitoring and for research and development, which lead indirectly to the
reduction of emissions. Other aspects of




environmental protection, such as expenditures for conservation of natural
resources and the protection of endangered species, are excluded. Pollutants
are substances (and forms of energy
such as noise) that degrade the quality
of air and water shared by all.
PAC expenditures are classified in
table 1 (p. 21) by type (e.g., water
PAC). For each type, detail is shown
for functions (e.g., research and development), sectors (e.g., business), and
accounting categories (e.g., on capital
account). Because data are not available, the estimates exclude spending for
PAC performed during agricultural
production of crops and livestock except
in feedlots. Table 2 (p. 20) shows additional detail for business and govern-

ment expenditures for air and water
PA using the same framework as table
1; additional detail for air and water
PAC other than PA are not available.
Table 3 shows price changes for total
PAC expenditures and selected components. Table 4 shows Federal grants
to State and local governments for PAC.
Table 5 shows sources of the revisions in
PAC expenditures. Tables 6 and 7 show
air and water PA expenditures according to sources of emissions; sources are
classified generally as mobile, stationary, point, and nonpoint. Table 8 shows
spending for aspects of solid waste management, which includes but is not confined to collection and disposal by means
acceptable to public authorities.

Air PAC spending increased $0.3

PAC spending were offsetting. Both

current-account spending. Spending for
solid waste collection and disposal increased $0.2 billion in 1979. Business
spending accounted for virtually all this
increase; both capital-account and
current-account spending increased but
the increase was largely on currentaccount.

The largest single increase was in
business cur rent-account spending for
solid waste collection and disposal. The
increase reflects increased intensity of
use of trucks and facilities, an increase
in the gross stock of trucks and facilities, and increased precaution during
collection and disposal (e.g., separation

21
of types of waste for special handling).
Eules and guidelines, which were mandated by the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act of 1976, have been
under development for several years
and are being made final in phases. They
began to be proposed and published for
public comment in early 1978 and a few

nance construction. Federal grants for
construction of treatment plants (see
water PA, table 4) decreased in 1978
after increasing in 1977, as did State
and local long-term borrowing for public sewer systems. Because of the time
lag between financing and construction,
the 1978 decreases and the 1977 increases both affected construction significantly in 1979, but the 1978 decreases had the predominant effect. Re-

were made final in 1979. Increased precaution in 1979 was largely in preparation for forthcoming final rules and
guidelines.
The largest single decrease was for
the construction of public sewer systems
(including municipal sewage treatment
plants) and other government enterprise fixed capital, reflecting a reduced
flow of Federal funds for such construction and reduced borrowing to fi-

March 1981

duced borrowing in 1978 was largely
due to increased long-term interest
rates in 1978 and in early 1979.
Prices in 1979.—Prices of PAC goods
and services, as measured by the implicit price deflator, increased 12.6 percent in 1979, compared with 7.4 percent
in 1978. Prices of air PAC goods and
services increased 15.1 percent, several
percentage points more than for other
types of PAC.

Revisions in real PAC spending during
1972-78
Each year the PAC spending series
is revised to incorporate improvements
in coverage and in statistical procedures
before being extended an additional
year. Eevisions this year are moderate
in size compared with previous revisions.
Coverage refers to the comprehensive-

lion (1972 dollars) for 1976 and 1975
and $0.1 billion in 1978 and 1974; the revision was very small in 1977. Downward revisions amounted to about $0/
billion for 1973 and 1972 (table 5). Th»
effects on year-to-year changes in PAC
spending were insignificant except for
1974; PAC spending after revision increased 2.8 percent in 1974 compared
with 0.5 percent previously.
Two components of total PAC spending were revised significantly. The first,
new plant and equipment for air and
water PA, is directly from the P&E
Survey. The P&E Survey collects
quarterly data on nonf arm business investment and related series five times
each year; additional annual data are
obtained in the fifth survey. The fifth
survey also includes questions on spending for air and water PA and solid waste
collection and disposal.
The October revision of series based
on the P&E Survey, mentioned earlier,
did not include spending for P&E for
PA and waste collection and disposal.
Revised estimates of PAC spending,
discussed in this article, incorporate preliminary revised all-industry totals for
spending for P&E for air and water
PA; final all-industry totals and industry detail are scheduled to be published
in June 1981. In the revised estimates
of P&E for PA, the coverage of certain
industries was refined and other industries were included for the first time—
real estate; professional services; social
services and membership organizations;

and forestry, fisheries, and agricultural
services. Thus the revised estimates, like
those for total P&E, now cover all nonfarm business. Also, there were several
statistical improvements: company reports received too late for use in previously published estimates were incorporated; company reports were reclassified by industry and size of company to
reflect diversification, specialization,
expansion, or contraction over time;
sample data were re-edited to make
each industry as representative of the
universe as possible; and sample data
and revised total new plant and equipment expenditures for the universe were
used to re-estimate universe spending
for air and water PA.
The second component of total PAC
spending revised significantly, solid
waste collection and disposal, depends
on other sources in addition to the P&E
Survey. An indirect estimation procedure is applied. The revised spending
estimates are the result of re-application of this procedure using revised estimates of spending for the P&E portion and, for 1978, revised inputs from
other sources.

Real PA spending during 1972-79
1. Spending for this component includes that by electric utility cooperatives; in previous articles spending by these cooperatives was shown separately from new plant and equipment.

Spending for PA—the direct reduction of emissions of pollutants—accounts for most of PAC spending and
will be discussed below using classifications in Federal laws on pollution
abatement.2 The Clean Air Act classifies sources of pollutants as mobile, such
as passenger cars, and stationary, such

as factories. The Federal Water Pollution Control Act classifies sources as
point, such as factories, and nonpoint,
2. The Federal laws mentioned stimulated increased spending. However, all PA spending,
whether stimulated by other Federal laws or by
State and local laws and ordinances, is discussed
in this and other sections of this article.

that is, sources to which specific emissions are difficult to trace. The Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act refers
to solid waste management, an activity
broader than PA and involving generators, collectors, and disposers of solid
wastes. Estimates of spending for solid

waste management and spending for
solid waste management for PA are
presented in this article for the first
time and are contrasted with estimates
for collection and disposal by means acceptable to public authorities.
Air.—Spending to reduce emissions
of pollutants from mobile sources increased each year during 1972-79 (table
6). This spending, which is almost entirely for passenger cars and trucks, increased at an average annual rate of
12.9 percent, to $5.1 billion in 1979. Most
of the absolute increase, $2.9 billion,
was to purchase devices to abate emissions from passenger cars and to operate such devices on trucks. Spending to
operate devices on cars decreased during
1972-79, reflecting the favorable effects
of catalytic devices on fuel economy and
of unleaded gasoline (required because
of such devices) on engine maintenance
costs. Most car manufacturers relied on
devices containing chemical catalysts beginning with model year 1975; these
devices accounted for over one-third of
the absolute increase. Noncatalytic devices were widely used for nitrogen
oxides reduction before the introduction of catalytic devices and continued
to be used because simple catalytic devices reduce only carbon monoxide and
hydrocarbon emissions. Noncatalytic
devices accounted for over one-fifth of
the absolute increase in spending during
1972-79. The estimates currently available of spending to operate abatement
devices on trucks indicate large spending increases each year during 1972-79.
These estimates require continued evaluation and improvement; evidence suggesting less spending is accumulating.
Spending to reduce emissions of pollutants from stationary sources increased in 1973,1975,1978, and 1979 and
decreased in other years during 1972-79.
It increased at an average annual rate
of 2.6 percent, to $4.4 billion in 1979.
Of the absolute increase of $0.7 billion,
about three-fourths was in spending to
operate industrial PA facilities, especially manufacturing facilities, and occurred after 1974. The remainder was
largely by manufacturing establishments to purchase air PA facilities.
Purchases of facilities were largely for

additions to the gross capital stock
rather than for replacement. Accordingly, the gross stock increased (even
though spending to purchase facilities
decreased more often than they increased) and, except for 1974, increases
in spending to operate air PA facilities
followed.
Water.—Spending to reduce emissions of pollutants from point sources
increased in most years during 1972-79;

it decreased in 1977 and 1979 (table 7).
During 1972-78, it increased at an average annual rate of 5.9 percent, to $10.7
billion in 1978; spending was $0.2 billion less in 1979, and the average annual
increase during 1972-79 was 4.8 percent.
Of the absolute increase of $3.0 billion,
about two-thirds was in spending to
construct public sewer systems and private sewer connectors and spending to
operate such systems. The remainder

solid waste and for other purposes except pollution abatement.

was largely by nonmanufacturing establishments to purchase and operate
water PA facilities.
The decreases in 1977 and 1979 in
point-source spending for water PA
reflect decreases for facilities. Spending
by industry to purchase water PA facilities decreased in both years and also in
1974 and 1978. Spending to construct
public sewer systems and other facilities
decreased in 1977 and 1979 only. Even
though there were decreases, spending
for water PA facilities was largely for
addition to the gross capital stock rather
than replacement, and this resulted in
increases in spending to operate such
facilities each year during 1972-79.
Spending to reduce emissions of pollutants from nonpoint sources decreased
at an average annual rate of 2.0 percent
during 1972-79, to $0.6 billion in 1979.
Estimates of such spending are of
limited reliability because spending
data specific to nonpoint sources are
fragmentary.
Solid waste and other.—Spending
for solid waste collection and disposal
by means acceptable to Federal, State
and local authorities increased each year
during 1972-79 (table 8, line 1). It incroased at an average annual rate of 3.9
percent, to $4.4 billion in 1979. Levels of




spending for solid waste management
(line 2) and the portion for PA (line 3)
differ markedly each year from corresponding levels of spending for solid
waste collection and disposal by acceptable means. Year-to-year changes are
similar for the first two series; the
changes are markedly different in the
third series. The differences in levels for
any given year and in year-to-year
changes largely reflect differences in
definition.
Solid waste collection and disposal l>y
acceptable means is defined with respect
to two aspects: collection and disposal is
the gathering of solid waste to facilitate
processing, materials separation, storage, transportation, treatment, and ultimate disposal; acceptability is determined with respect to laws, administrative requirements, and court decisions as
implemented by Federal, State, and
local authorities. Solid waste management is the administration and performance of activities to reduce the generation of solid waste, to recycle by-products otherwise resulting in solid waste,
and to collect and dispose of solid waste.
Most solid waste management activities
serve several purposes. The purposes
may be classified generally as avoidance
of the slowing of production and con-

27
sumption activity due to accumulation
of solid waste, protection of public
health (including pollution abatement,
accident control, and disease control),
conservation of resources, and all other.
The last category consists of avoidance
of adverse effects on land values, public
nuisances, scenic blights, and other interferences with community life and development. Solid waste management for
pollution abatement is defined with respect to two aspects: solid waste management is defined above; pollution
abatement is the reduction or elimination of emissions of pollutants that is
brought about by human activity directed to this purpose.3
The "acceptable means" series has
been used in the past by some analysts
to estimate a "management" series and
by some to estimate an "abatement"
series; others have simply used the
"acceptable means" series without modification. This series is difficult to define
and measure; the criteria for acceptability vary over time and between localities. The availability of the two new
series diminishes the need for the "acceptable means" series. The "management" series is the least difficult to measure and is useful in studies of spending
for total residuals (gaseous, liquid,
solid) management. The "abatement"
series is most difficult to measure directly although indirect methods have
been developed; it is most useful in
studies of spending for pollution abatement and is consistent with estimates
of air and water PA in table 1. The substitution of the "abatement" series for
the "acceptable means" series in the
total series on PAC is currently under
review; such substitution was not possible earlier.
3. See "Conceptual and Statistical Issues in Developing Environmental Measures—Recent U.S. Experience," by John E. Cremeans, Review of Income
and Wealth, June, 1977 for further discussion of
the concept of pollution abatement.

The plant and equipment spending
estimates are not adjusted for price
change. Capital goods prices, as measured by the implicit price deflator for
nonresidential fixed investment in the
national income and product accounts,
increased about 9 percent in 1980, indicating that 1980 real spending on
plant and equipment showed little
change from 1979. If survey respondents expect capital goods prices to increase this year at about the same rate
as last year and incorporated such expectations into their 1981 spending
plans, an increase in real spending of
about 1 percent is indicated.
Spending increased 1.1 percent in the
fourth quarter of 1980, following

smaller increases of 0.8 percent in the
second quarter and 0.6 percent in the
third. Fourth-quarter spending was
larger than plans reported in the survey
three months earlier; those plans indicated a 0.4-percent decline in the fourth
quarter.
Plans for 1981 spending indicate an

increase of 3.5 percent in the first quarter and 2-. 3 percent in the second. Spending plans are not reported on a quarterly basis for the second half. However,
the implied average quarterly increase
is about 4 percent.
The latest plans for 1981 spending are
$0.4 billion lower than those indicated
in the annual survey conducted in November and December and reported in
January. That survey showed planned
spending of $326.1 billion, 10.8 percent
above the estimate of 1980 spending
based on the quarterly survey conducted
in October and November and reported
in December. Spending in 1980 reported
in the January-February survey was
$1.3 billion higher than reported in that
earlier survey. Thus, the smaller yearto-year increase indicated by the current survey primarily reflects the upward revision in 1980 spending programs rather than the downward revision in 1981 plans.
Spending for new plant increased 2.3
percent in the fourth quarter, to an annual rate of $120.3 billion; spending for

Realization of 1980 plans.—Actual
spending in 1980 was 2^ percent less
than had been planned early last year;
downward revisions occurred primarily
in the nonmanufacturing industries.
The major reductions in spending programs occurred in the transportation
and in the trade and service industries.
In manufacturing, spending was
smaller than planned in durable goods,
but nondurable goods industries raised
their plans during the year.

Manufacturing Programs

1. The reported plans are adjusted for biases when
necessary; adjustments are applied separately to expenditures for each function. Before adjustments, plans
for 1981 were $27.10 billion.

84

Manufacturers' spending increased 2
percent in the fourth quarter of 1980 to
11 years and overstated spending in 5 an annual rate of $118.6 billion, followyears. The 1981 spending plans reported ing a one-half of 1 percent increase in
in the latest survey may be more tenta- the third. Durables increased 2*/& pertive than usual. Most of the survey re- cent and nondurables, 1 percent. Manusponses were prepared before the Presi- facturers plan increases of 2 percent in

1. The survey asks manufacturers to report actual and preferred rates of capacity utilization
for the last month of each quarter. Utilization rates for industry and asset-size groups are
weighted averages of individual company rates. See "The Utilization of Manufacturing Capacity, 1965-73," SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS, July 1974, p. 47.
2. Also includes lumber, furniture, fabricated metals, instruments, and miscellaneous.
3. Also includes other transportation equipment.

11 percent in durables and 6^ percent
in nondurables.
Manufacturers plan to spend $129.8
billion in 1981, 12 percent more than
they spent in 1980; they increased
spending 17^ percent last year. Durables and nondurables plan increases of
18 percent and 11% percent, respectively. The largest increases in durables
are planned by electrical machinery,
25% percent; nonelectrical machinery,
201/2 percent; "other durables," 16 percent; and nonferrous metals, 15% percent. Most other durables industries except iron and steel plan smaller increases; iron and steel plans a slight
decline. In nondurables, the largest increases are in rubber, 32% percent, and
petroleum, 21% percent. Petroleum
companies are planning large increases
for nonpetroleum activities as well as
production and refining of petroleum
products (table 5). Food-beverage, tex

Capacity utilization
The utilization of manufacturing capacity was 78 percent in December, a
2-point increase from September and
June (table 7 and chart 7). The increase
was in durable goods industries, with
the largest increase in primary metals.
The increase from September to December followed a decline from 84 percent
in March 1979 to 76 percent in June and
September 1980.
In durable goods, the utilization rate
for primary metals increased 11 points
from September to December, to 77 percent. Motor vehicles increased 3 points,
to 70 percent, and aircraft increased 2
points, to 80 percent. Nonelectrical machinery and stone-clay-glass each in-

tiles, "other nondurables," and chemicals plan increases between 4 and 7 percent. Paper plans a 1-percent decline.
Manufacturing projects started in the
fourth quarter of 1980 totaled $33.5 billion, a 21-percent increase from the
third quarter (table 6 and chart 6). The
increase was larger in nondurables, 31
percent, than in durables, 11 percent;
sizable increases were reported by petroleum, chemicals, and paper. In the
fourth quarter, the value of projects
started was larger than spending so that
carryover increased. At the end of December, carryover was $85.2 billion,
$3.9 billion more than at the end of
December.

March 1981

creased 1 point, to 90 percent and 74
percent, respectively. In nondurable
goods, petroleum increased 4 points, to
80 percent, following a 6-point drop
from June to September. Paper increased 2 points, to 89 percent. Eubber
declined 2 points, to 70 percent, and
food-beverage 1 point, to 75 percent.
The utilization rate for primaryprocessed goods industries increased 4
points, to 78 percent; the rate for advanced-processed goods increased 1
point, to 78 percent. The rate for largesized firms increased 3 points, to 80 percent. Medium-sized firms were unchanged at 78 percent, and small firms
increased 1 point, to 72 percent.

1. Estimates are based on planned capital expenditures reported by business in late January
and February 1981. The planned expenditures for the first quarter, second quarter, and second
half of 1981 have been corrected for biases. The adjustment procedures are described in the
October 1980 SURVEY. Before adjustment, plans for 1981 were $321.19 billion for total business,
$134.38 billion for manufacturing, and $186.81 billion for nonmamifacturmg.

30% percent of fixed assets reported a
need as of the end of December for more
facilities, 1% points below the percentage as of the end of September (table
8). Facilities viewed as about adequate
increased 2 points, to 61 percent, and
facilities viewed as in excess of needs
declined about one-half of 1 percentage
point, to 8y% percent.

Nonmanufacturing Programs
Spending for plant and equipment by
nonmanufacturing industries increased
one-half of 1 percent in the fourth
quarter of 1980, to an annual rate of
$181.0 billion, following a similar in-




SUKVEY OF CUEEENT BUSINESS
crease in the third quarter. The mining,
railroad, finance, and service industries
reported sizable increases in fourthquarter spending, but these increases
were offset by declines in most other industries. A 4%-percent increase is
planned by nonmanufacturing in the
first quarter and 1 percent in the second.
Plans for the second half imply an average quarterly increase of about 3%
percent.
For 1981, planned spending by nonmanufacturing totals $195.9 billion, 9
percent more than spending in 1980;
spending last year increased 4% percent. The largest increases are planned

33

by mining, 17% percent; "other transportation," 14 percent; and "communication and other," 13% percent. Gas
utilities plan a 9%-percent increase,
electric utilities, 7% percent, and trade
and services, 6% percent. Smaller increases are planned by railroads and airlines, 3% percent and 2% percent, respectively.
Starts of new projects by public utilities in the fourth quarter totaled $14.9
billion, compared with $4.2 billion in the
third quarter. Carryover of utility projects increased $6.1 billion during the
fourth quarter, to $130.2 billion at the
end of December.

Capital Expenditures by Majority-Owned
Foreign Affiliates of U.S. Companies, 1981
jVlAJORITY-OWNED foreign affiliates of U.S. companies plan to increase capital expenditures 13 percent,
to $53.9 billion, in 1981, following a
near-record 24-percent increase last year
(chart 8 and table I).1 The moderate
increase in 1981 primarily reflects
sharply lower growth in spending by
manufacturing affiliates as a result of
the slowdown in economic activity
abroad. These affiliates plan their smallest spending increase (7 percent) since
1976. The impact of this small increase
will be tempered by continued strong
spending by petroleum affiliates; their
expenditures reflect ongoing efforts to
explore for and develop new sources of
crude oil in response to rising petroleum
prices.
The latest plans for 1981, reported in
December, were revised upward from
plans reported last June, which showed
an 8-percent increase. The largest upward revisions were in petroleum and
"other" industries. Bevisions in petroleum were widespread geographically,
mainly because several large U.S. petroleum companies that have worldwide
activities, were unable last June, as in

the past, to provide reliable estimates so
far in advance of actual expenditures.
Eevisions in "other" industries were
sharpest in the Middle East and "other
Asia and Pacific."
Latest plans for 1980 were virtually
unchanged from earlier plans. Declines

in most manufacturing subindustries
were offset by modest increases in industries outside manufacturing.
By area, affiliates in developed countries plan a 12-percent increase in spending in 1981, to $40.2 billion. A 16-percent increase, to $11.7 billion, is plan•^•••••^•••••H CHART 8

NOTE.—Earl F. Holmes assisted in the
preparation of the estimates.
1. Capital expenditures are expenditures that are
made to acquire, add to, or improve property, plant,
and equipment, and that are charged to capital accounts. They are on a gross basis ; sales and other
dispositions of fixed assets are not netted against
them. Capital expenditures are reported to BEA in
current dollars; they are not adjusted for price
changes in host countries or for changes in the
value of foreign currencies, because the data needed
for such adjustments are unavailable.
A majority-owned foreign affiliate is a foreign
business enterprise in which a U.S. company owns,
directly or indirectly, at least 50 percent of the
voting rights. These data are universe estimates
based on BEA's semiannual sample survey. The
latest survey, taken in December 1980, covered
about 5,000 majority-owned foreign affiliates.

ned by affiliates in developing countries.
In both areas, percentage increases this
year are about one-half of those last
year. Affiliates in "international and unallocated"—which are primarily engaged in international shipping—plan
to increase spending 20 percent, to $2.1
billion, following a 4-percent increase.
By industry, petroleum affiliates plan
a 24-percent increase, to $18.7 billion,
following a 30-percent increase; mining
and smelting affiliates plan a 22-percent
increase, following an unusually large
increase of 93 percent. A 7-percent increase, to $24.4 billion, is planned by
manufacturing affiliates, following a 22percent increase. Trade affiliates plan to
increase spending 5 percent, following a
29-percent increase. Only affiliates in
"other" industries plan an increase
larger than last year—9 percent compared with 8 percent.

icy, announced last October, calls for
increased Canadian ownership of the
domestic oil and gas industry, the provision of new incentives to encourage
exploration by Canadian-controlled
companies, and increased federal energy taxes. Although spending remains
strong, a further slowdown in the rate
of growth may be evident in BEA's
next survey, when more affiliates take
into account the implications of the policy for their spending plans.
In the North Sea area, Norwegian affiliates plan to spend $1.1 billion, a 41percent increase, up from 10-percent
last year. Much of the increase is for
developing new offshore gasfields.
United Kingdom affiliates plan a 9-percent increase, to $4.3 billion, down from
30 percent; both increases are mainly
for further exploration and development. The slowdown in 1981 may partly
reflect the United Kingdom Govern-

Petroleum affiliates plan to increase
spending 24 percent, to $18.7 billion,
following a 30-percent increase last year.
The increase is widespread among
areas, and is particularly large in Canada, the North Sea, and "other Africa,"
where affiliates are engaged mainly in
petroleum extraction.
In developed countries, affiliates plan
to increase spending 23 percent, to
$12.5 billion, following a 32-percent increase (tables 2A-C). Canadian affiliates plan to increase spending 21 percent, to $4.2 billion, after a 43-percent
increase; the increase is mainly for continued development of western Canada's tar sands, and for upgrading and
expanding refineries to process synthetic crude. The slower increase in
spending may partly reflect the host
government's policy of "Canadianizing" its oil and gas industry. The pol-

ment's plans to conserve more of its oil
reserves.
In other areas of Europe, where affiliates are primarily engaged in refining
and distribution, some large increases
in spending are planned. Netherlands
affiliates plan a 122-percent increase,

March 1981

partly for a plant to convert coal into
methane for use as a substitute for natural gas. German affiliates plan a 70percent increase, primarily for modernizing existing refineries.
After a 50-percent increase in spending, Australian affiliates plan an even

larger increase in 1981 spending; both
increases are for refinery upgrading,
shale-oil extraction, and gasfield development.
In developing countries, affiliates
plan a 26-percent increase in spending,
to $5.2 billion, slightly below the 1980

lion, following a 22-percent increase in
1980. Declines or smaller increases are
expected in all manufacturing subindustries except chemicals and rubber products.
Over one-half of the total dollar increase is accounted for by affiliates in
transportation equipment; these affiliates' spending is expected to increase 15
percent, to $5.9 billion, following a 54percent increase in 1980. Last year's increase, historically one of the industry's
largest, was mainly to finance a program to construct assembly and parts
production facilities for the "world
car." The 1981 increase will continue
this program.
Chemical affiliates plan a 9-percent increase, to $3.9 billion, following a 6percent increase. In paper and allied
products, affiliates plan a 13-percent increase; a 49-percent increase in 1980
financed the expansion of production
facilities. Nonelectrical machinery affiliates plan to increase spending 4 percent, following a 9-percent increase.
Slight cuts in spending are expected in
primary and fabricated metals, electrical machinery, and "other" manufacturing.
In developed countries, affiliates plan
a 7-percent increase, to $20.9 billion,
compared with 22 percent in 1980. The
increase is centered in Canada and in
Europe, particularly "other Europe,"
the United Kingdom, and Germany.
Canadian affiliates p]an to increase

lowing a 36-percent increase. Much of
the increase is in chemicals, partly reflecting the startup and expansion of
petrochemical facilities. In paper and
allied products, large increases are
planned, mainly for modernizing facilities to boost capacity.
In Europe, United Kingdom affiliates
plan to increase spending 6 percent, to
$3.8 billion, about the same rate of increase as last year. Nonelectrical machinery affiliates account for nearly all
of the increase, which is partly offset by
a sizable decline in primary and fabricated metals due to completion of a new
plant in 1980. In Germany, affiliates
plan to increase spending 5 percent, to
$3.7 billion, after a 16-percent increase
last year. Transportation equipment affiliates account for most of the increase,
which is mainly for modifying assembly
lines and for constructing a plastics
plant to fabricate parts for fuel-efficient
vehicles. Affiliates in "other Europe"
plan to step up spending 68 percent, following a 50-percent increase. Virtually
all of the increase is accounted for by
transportation equipment affiliates in
Spain and Austria, and is for constructing assembly plants and parts production facilities for subcompact cars.
In developing countries, affiliates
plan to increase spending 3 percent, to
$3.5 billion, compared with 22 percent
in 1980. By far the largest increase is
in Mexico, where food affiliates with
beverage operations plan to expand bottling facilities. The increase in Mexico
is partly offset by a 24-percent decline

39
in the Philippines, where food affiliates
made large expenditures for new bottling facilities in 1980.
Mining and smelting, trade, and other
industries
Mining and smelting affiliates plan to
increase spending to $1.9 billion, up 22
percent, following a near doubling of
expenditures last year. The increase is
mainly in Brazil and Australia. In
Brazil, affiliates, attracted by relatively
inexpensive hydroelectric power and by
large bauxite reserves, are constructing
a refinery and smelter; in Australia,
affiliates are stepping up expenditures
on antipollution equipment, in addition
to bauxite refinery expansion.
Trade affiliates plan a 5-percent increase in spending, to $3.3 billion, after
a 29-percent increase. Although small
increases are planned in many countries,
most of the increase is centered in Brazil, where affiliates are expanding warehouse capacity to accommodate steppedup production of parts for photographic
equipment.
Affiliates in "other" industries—agriculture, public utilities, transportation,
construction, and finance and other
services—plan to increase spending 9
percent, to $5.6 billion, about the same
rate of increase as last year. Large increases are planned by affiliates in "international and unallocated," for the
purchase of new and used bulk ore carriers, and by Australian affiliates, for
the acquisition of new headquarters.

U.S. International Transactions,
Fourth Quarter and Year 1980
Fourth Quarter

1980

JL HE current-account surplus narrowed to $O.Y billion in the fourth quarter,
down from1 a $4.5 billion surplus, largely
reflecting a $3.3 billion increase in the
merchandise trade deficit (chart 9). In
the capital accounts, outflows through
U.S. bank-reported claims on foreigners
remained large and inflows through
U.S. bank-reported liabilities to private
foreigners were stepped up.
Among current-account items, the
merchandise trade deficit increased to
$6.1 billion, as exports were unchanged
and the volume of petroleum imports
rose. Net service receipts registered a
small increase—to $9.1 from $8.9 billion.
Although receipts of income on U.S. direct investment abroad declined, payments declined even more from the high
third-quarter level, which had been
boosted by a special transaction. There
were large increases in both other income receipts, due to higher U.S. interest rates and an increase in U.S.
assets abroad, and in other income payments, mostly due to an increase in
foreign assets in the United States. Unilateral transfer outflows were unusually
large due to an increase in grants to
Israel.
Foreign assets in the United States increased $20.7 billion, up from an $11.8
billion increase. Foreign official assets
increased $7.6 billion, compared with an
$8.0 billion increase. Increases in assets
of industrial countries were large, but
for the most part did not reflect dollar
exchange market intervention. Increases
in assets by OPEC members were
smaller than those earlier in the year
(table B).




Among other foreign assets, U.S.
liabilities to private foreigners and international financial institutions reported by U.S. banks increased $9.2 billion,
after a slight decrease. The sharp runup in U.S. interest rates, while rates
abroad changed little, and the appreciation of the dollar in exchange markets
contributed to the increase.
Net foreign purchases of U.S. securities other than Treasury securities were
$2.8 billion, compared with $1.0 billion.
Western European and Canadian purchases of U.S. stocks accounted for much
of the increase and contributed to record
stock purchases for the year. New issues
of Eurobonds were off slightly in the
fourth quarter, but remained strong;
these new issues also established a record
for the year. Inflows for foreign direct
investment were $1.0 billion, down from
$2.4 billion; the third-quarter inflows
had been boosted by the previously mentioned special transaction.
U.S. assets abroad increased $27.0
billion, compared with a $19.1 billion
increase. U.S. official reserve assets increased $1.3 billion, primarily reflecting
net purchases of German marks in foreign exchange markets. There was also
an exchange of special drawing rights
(SDKs) for an increase in the U.S.
reserve position with the International
Monetary Fund (IMF) as part of the
increase in IMF quotas.
Among other U.S. assets abroad,
claims on foreigners reported by U.S.
banks increased $13.0 billion, slightly
more than in the third quarter, despite
the sharp rise in U.S. interest rates and
an increase in domestic demand for bank
credit. Net U.S. purchases of foreign
securities were $0.4 billion, down from
$0,8 billion. Large bond redemptions

abroad were $8.2 billion, up from $4.1
billion, due to a large increase in equity
and intercompany account outflows.
From the end of September to the
end of December, the dollar appreciated
5 percent and 4 percent on a tradeweighted basis against the currencies of
10 industrial and 22 OECD countries,
respectively. A 7- to 8-percent appreciation of the dollar against most European currencies was associated with a

sharp rise in U.S. interest rates, and
weakening economic activity in and
persistent current-account deficits of
European countries. These appreciations were partly offset by a 4-percent
depreciation against the Japanese yen
(table C, chart 10).
The Year 1980
Highlights
In the current account.—The merchandise trade deficit declined to $27.4
billion, from $29.4 billion in 1979. Despite the slowdown in economic activity

abroad, export growth, particularly of
capital goods, remained relatively
strong, partly spurred by the earlier depreciation of the dollar against most
major currencies. Weakness in nonagricultural export growth toward the end
of the year was partly offset by continued strength in agricultural exports.
Sluggishness in the U.S. economy in the
first half of the year limited increases
in both petroleum and nonpetroleum
imports (chart 11).
The service balance was in surplus by
$34.4 billion, virtually unchanged. The
income accounts, which for several years

have been a major factor in the rise in
the service surplus, showed no net
change. A decline in net receipts on direct investment reflected a nonrecurring
capital loss and a reduction in operating
income associated with a special secondquarter transaction, weaker business activity in most industrialized countries,
and a decline in crude petroleum production. There was a slightly more than
offsetting rise in net receipts on other
investment income; the rise in receipts,
due to sharply higher U.S. interest rates
and increased U.S. bank lending to foreigners, outpaced the rise in payments
on increased foreign asset holdings in
the United States.
Unilateral transfers, at $7.0 billion,
compared with $5.7 billion, reflected
larger outflows to Israel.
Reflecting all the above transactions,
the current-account balance showed little change, shifting from a deficit of
$0.7 billion to a surplus of $0.1 billion.
In the capital account.—U.S. bank
claims on foreigners nearly doubled to
$46.6 billion. The step-up was attributable to increased loans to Caribbean
branches. In contrast to 1979, when
U.S. banks borrowed heavily from
these branches to finance strong domestic loan expansion, U.S. banks were
net lenders to these branches, and indirectly to the Eurocurrency markets, in
1980. The change probably reflected the
effects of U.S. monetary restraint and
credit controls, and a lessening in credit
demand in the United States during
much of 1980.

The increase in U.S. bank liabilities
to private foreigners and international
financial institutions was $13.4 billion,
down from $37.5 billion, largely due to
the factors just mentioned. Large bankreported inflows occurred when interest

March 1981

rate differentials favoring the United
States widened and when the dollar
strengthened in foreign exchange markets. Inflows were smaller when interest
rate differentials in favor of the United
States narrowed or disappeared and
when U.S. domestic credit demand
lessened.
Foreign purchases of U.S. stocks and
of Eurobonds newly issued abroad by
U.S. corporations set records, resulting
in net foreign purchases of U.S. securities other than Treasury issues of $7.4
billion. These purchases were sensitive
to fluctuations in both security and exchange markets.
Foreign official assets in the United
States increased $16.2 billion, in contrast to a $14.3 billion decrease. Most of
the increase was due to increased holdings of dollar assets by OPEC
members.
In the exchange markets.—The dollar fluctuated widely in exchange markets, largely in response to interest rate
differentials. The dollar appreciated 9
percent on a trade-weighted basis in the
first quarter when the rise in U.S. interest rates far outpaced the rise in foreign
rates and fell by the same amount when
U.S. interest rates dropped sharply,
along with U.S. economic activity, in
the second quarter. In the last 5 months
of the year, when U.S. interest rates
again rose sharply while rates abroad remained stable or declined, wide interest
differentials in favor of the dollar reappeared and the dollar appreciated 5
percent.

Statistical discrepancy.—The statistical discrepancy (errors and omissions
in reported transactions) was a positive
$35.6 billion in 1980, after a positive
$23.8 billion in 1979. Unrecorded inflows
were particularly large in the first half
of 1980. Several factors may have contributed to some shift in capital flows
from reported channels to channels less
adequately covered by the statistical reporting system. First, the Federal
Eeserve's imposition of marginal reserve requirements on Eurodollar borrowings of U.S. banks in October 1979
and March 1980 altered the pattern of
U.S. bank lending and borrowing
transactions with overseas offices. As the
location of the booking of claims and
liabilities was shifted to overseas offices,
some transactions may have been inadequately reported. Also, during the second quarter when there were significant
changes in the differential between the
U.S. prime rate and the London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR) favoring the
latter, U.S. firms' reported loans from
these overseas offices increased only
moderately. Under such circumstances,
the increase in liabilities to foreigners
may have been underreported. Second,
there were unsettling political and military events abroad. An interagency
group, under the auspices of the Office
of Federal Statistical Policy and Standards, is considering changes in the
reporting system.

Interest rate developments had a pronounced influence on the dollar's performance in 1980 (chart 12). After
leveling off early in the year, U.S. interest rates rose in response to increased
credit demands and to the Federal Reserve's policy of restraining the growth
of bank reserves. Interest rates abroad
also rose, but less sharply, and foreign
funds Tbegan to be switched into dollars
as the differentials widened in favor of
the dollar. The large dollar inflows, including those coming directly and indirectly from OPEC members, created
strong pressures on the German mark
and Japanese yen; both countries were
experiencing increases in their currentaccount deficits. In the 6 weeks through
the first week of April, the dollar ad

vanced 12 percent against the German
mark, 7 percent against the pound sterling, and 4 percent against the Japanese
yen, reaching the highest level against
the yen in 2i/£> years.
The dollar subsequently came under
selling pressure, as U.S. interest rates
declined sharply and interest rate differentials favorable to the dollar quickly disappeared. Federal Reserve intervention purchases of dollars were necessary to cushion the decline. By the end
of April, the dollar had declined as
much as 9-11 percent from its peaks
against major European currencies, but
was about 2-4 percent higher than in
early February. Against the Japanese
yen and pound sterling, the dollar ended
the period about one-half percent higher
than in early February.
Interest rates declined through midJune, but the effect on the dollar was
countered by early August by a trade
balance that was improving despite a
higher petroleum import bill. U.S. interest rates began to exceed most foreign
rates by early August. As interest-sensitive capital shifted from the mark into
the dollar (and the pound) in early
October, substantial mark purchases by
German and U.S. authorities were
necessary. The acceleration in the
mark's decline also caused strains in the
European Monetary System (EMS) in
late October, requiring Germany to step
up its sales of dollars. In November and
December, capital outflows from Germany continued as investors obtained
higher dollar interest yields at the expense of mark-denominated assets and
as foreign governments, corporations,
and individuals borrowed marks to take
advantage of relatively low interest
rates. Increased foreign borrowings by
German authorities, especially from
OPEC members, did not halt the mark's
decline. By yearend, the mark and the
currencies linked to it in the EMS were
8-10 percent lower against the dollar
than at the end of June. The yen continued its rise against the dollar, ending
the year 19 percent above its early April
low and 15 percent above December
1979, as Japan's capital and current accounts continued to improve. There was
strong worldwide demand, including
demand by OPEC members, for yen

to a 6-year high against the dollar. For
the year, the dollar declined 1 percent
against the pound.
Interest rate developments also affected the exchange rate of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar over
the year. In the summer months, when
U.S. rates dropped more sharply than
those in Canada, capital flowed into
higher yielding Canadian dollar assets
and Canadian borrowers were encouraged to borrow in U.S. and other foreign markets. However, in August and
September, as Canadian rates continued
to decline after U.S. rates resumed their
uptrend, the Canadian dollar weakened.
When Canadian interest rates increasingly lagged the rise in U.S. rates in
November and December, and a proposed new Canadian National Energy
Program was perceived as discouraging
foreign direct investment, the Canadian
dollar declined despite official support.
For the year, the U.S. dollar declined 2
percent against the Canadian dollar.

and government and corporate bonds.
A liberalization of Japanese foreign exchange controls and moderating inflation encouraged inflows through yearend, and the Bank of Japan intervened
in exchange markets to limit the yen's
rise.
In contrast to other European currencies, the pound sterling continued to
rise against the dollar in the last half
of the year. Eecord high interest rates,
rising petroleum production from the
North Sea, and a marked increase in the
U.K. trade surplus supported the pound
despite higher inflation than in most
countries. Although some funds flowed
out of the United Kingdom with the renewed rise in U.S. rates, by late October
sizable inflows of OPEC and other investment funds helped push the pound

The U.S. merchandise trade balance
was in deficit by $27.4 billion in 1980,
compared with a deficit of $29.4 billion
in 1979. Exports increased 22 percent,
to $221.8 billion, following a 28-percent
increase in 1979. Imports increased 18
percent, to $249.1 billion, following a 20percent increase. Export volume increased 8 percent, compared with 11
percent. Import volume decreased 3 percent, compared with a 2-percent increase.
Nonagricultural exports increased 23
percent, compared with a 31-percent increase (chart 13). As measured by Census Bureau volume and unit value indexes, about one-third of the increase
was in volume, compared with one-half
in 1979. Agricultural exports increased
18 percent in both years. In 1980, volume
accounted for about two-thirds of the
increase, compared with one-quarter in
1979. Petroleum imports increased 32
percent in value, following a 42-percent
increase. Volume declined 20 percent
after no change in 1979. Nonpetroleum
import growth slowed slightly to 12
percent. Nearly all the increase was in
prices in both years.

tal goods were strong worldwide, again
increasing about 26 percent. This category includes construction and industrial machinery and equipment, scientific machinery, and electronic computers and parts. Deliveries of widebodied
passenger aircraft and new equipment
for older generation aircraft to rebuild
foreign fleets also continued strong.
Among other major categories, consumer goods increased 30 percent, compared with 21 percent; consumer durable goods shipments to Western Europe
were up sharply. Nonagricultural industrial supplies increased 25 percent,
compared with 52 percent; these supplies were perhaps more sensitive to the
immediate impact of the slowdown
abroad.
Agricultural exports increased to
$42.0 billion. The increase was due to
higher exports to developing countries
in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, and
to Western Europe, where harvests were
below normal until late in the year.
Partly offsetting was a sharp decline
in exports to the Soviet Union as a result of the partial embargo imposed in
January. Exports to the Soviet Union
of corn, wheat, and soybeans declined
to 6.2 million metric tons, compared
with 19.1 million metric tons in 1979.
Exports to other areas of the world
rose from 91.6 to 107.8 million metric
tons.
One-half of the total import increase
in 1980 was accounted for by petroleum,
which in turn was more than accounted
for by higher prices. The average price
in 1980 was up 63 percent to $30.46 perbarrel from $18.66 in 1979 (table E).
The average number of barrels imported
daily declined to 7.08 million from 8.81
million, the lowest since the 1975 average daily rate of 6.36 million. The number of barrels imported from OPEC
members was down 26 percent. In addition to the cutoff in imports from Iran,
imports from the two major U.S. suppliers, Saudi Arabia and Nigeria, declined 7 percent and 23 percent, respectively. Imports from Mexico continued
to climb, exceeding those from Canada
and many OPEC members. U.S. consumption declined 8 percent to an average daily rate of 16.96 million barrels.

si

Imports as a percentage of consumption declined to 42 percent from 48 percent (chart 14).
Among nonpetroleum imports, which
increased to $170.2 billion, nonpetroleum industrial supplies and capital
goods were most immediately affected
by the sluggishness in the U.S. economy. They slowed to an 11-percent
from a 17-percent increase and to a 23percent from a 28-percent increase, respectively. Partly offsetting was a stepup to a 12-percent from a 6-percent increase in imports of consumer goods.
Continued strength in automotive
products imports from areas other than
Canada more than offset a decline from
Canada. Imports of passenger cars
from the rest of the world increased 11
percent in volume; imports from Canada declined 12 percent. The contrasting trends reflect developments in do-

46
mestic sales. Sales of foreign-made cars
increased 3 percent to 2.4 million units;
sales of domestic cars, including those
assembled in Canada, declined 20 percent to 6.6 million units.
By area, there was a $20.5 billion surplus with Western Europe in 1980, compared with $12.3 billion in 1979. Exports to the area increased substantially
for the second consecutive year, while
imports increased moderately. There
was a shift to a $2.1 billion surplus
from a $3.0 billion deficit with nonOPEC developing countries; 1980 was
the fourth consecutive year of either declining deficits or rising surpluses.
Partly offsetting was an increase—from
$30.5 billion to $38.2 billion—in the deficit with members of OPEC; a 19-percent export increase was more than offset by higher priced petroleum imports.
The deficit with Japan rose to $10.4 billion from $8.6 billion, as export growth
slowed and imports of industrial machinery and automotive products remained strong. The deficit with Canada
rose to $3.2 billion from $2.4 billion; imports rose faster than exports.
Service transactions
Net service receipts, at $34.4 billion,
were virtually unchanged in 1980, following several years of substantial increases (table D).
Eeceipts of income on U.S. direct investment abroad were $37.1 billion, compared with $37.8 billion. Interest, dividends, and earnings of unincorporated
affiliates increased slightly and reinvested earnings declined. The decline in
income partly reflected the general
weakness in foreign economies and, to a
lesser extent, a less ebullient petroleum
market (table F). There was a marked
decline for automobile manufacturing
affiliates in Western Europe and the
United Kingdom1. Several special factors affect the comparison of 1980 and
1979 income receipts. First, 1980 data reflected a change in the nature and status
of the operations of a Middle East
branch of a U.S.-incorporated petroleum company that resulted in a change
in accounting for the branch as reported
to BE A by the company. Income receipts were reduced by the change; the

branch experienced a substantial loss for
the second quarter, comprising a nonrecurring capital loss and a reduction in
operating income. (There were unusual
capital inflows from the Middle East
associated with this change.) Second,
receipts from the United Kingdom were
increased by refunds made in compliance with the provisions of a new tax
treaty between the United States and
United Kingdom. The refunds permitted U.S. stockholders of U.K. corporations to benefit from a tax credit that
had previously been available only to
U.K. stockholders. Most of the refunds
were concentrated in the second quarter.
Third, there had been a nonrecurring
addition to receipts from1 the United
Kingdom of more than $1 billion in 1979
as the result of special inventory tax
legislation.
Payments of income on foreign direct
investment in the United States rose
$2.8 billion to $8.9 billion. Much of this
increase was accounted for by profits
from the sale of petroleum holdings by
a Canadian-owned manufacturing affiliate. Also, earnings of petroleum affiliates were up, reflecting OPEC price
hikes and the gradual decontrol of U.S.
petroleum prices beginning in the third
quarter of 1979.
Net income on other investment rose
$3.6 billion to $4.3 billion. Eeceipts rose
$10.8 billion to $39.0 billion, as both U.S.
bank claims on foreigners and U.S. interest rates increased strongly. Payments rose $7.2 billion, to $34.6 billion,
reflecting higher foreign interest rates,
a shift to an increase in foreign official
assets in the United States, and a further rise in U.S. bank liabilities to pri-

vate foreigners and international financial institutions.
U.S. military transactions with foreigners resulted i/n higher net payments—$3.3 billion, compared with $1.3
billion. Transfers under U.S. military
agency sales contracts were up $0.3 billion to $7.5 billion, due to an increase in
deliveries of equipment and construction services to NATO countries, Israel,
and other countries in the Middle East.
However, the $2.3 billion rise, to $10.8
billion, in direct defense expenditures
abroad outstripped the rise in military
transfers. There was a doubling of expenditures on refined and crude petroleum purchases. Expenditures for construction activity in Saudi Arabia and
for the U.S. share of NATO programs
also increased.
International travel and passenger
fare transactions resulted in net passenger payments of $1.4 billion, down from
$2.0 billion. Eeceipts from foreign
visitors in the United States, and passenger fares paid by foreigners to U.S.
transoceanic carriers, increased at a
faster rate than U.S. travelers' expenditures abroad and payments to foreign
transoceanic carriers. Travel receipts
were $10.0 billion, 19 percent more than
in 1979. Spending of Canadian visitors
was up 15 percent. Eeceipts from Mexican visitors increased 37 percent and
those from overseas visitors 14 percent.
U.S. travelers spent $10.4 billion in foreign countries, up 10 percent from 1979.
Expenditures in Canada were up 11
percent, in Mexico, 4 percent, and in
overseas countries, 12 percent. Foreigners paid 20 percent more, or $2.6 billion,
to U.S. trarisocean carriers in 1980. Both

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

the number of passengers and their average fares increased, but the former increased at a slower rate than in recent
years. The continued rise in fares reflected fuel and other operating cost increases. U.S. travelers paid 14 percent
more, or $3.5 billion, to foreign sea and
air carriers for transocean transportation, mainly due to higher air fares. Although the number of travelers to overseas areas increased slightly, there was
a drop in travel to Europe.
Transportation receipts increased 13
percent to $11.0 billion; payments increased only 5 percent to $11.0 billion.
The slower increase in payments was
due to the 20-percent decline in the volume of imported petroleum and a sharp
decline in tanker rates during the year.
Ocean freight receipts increased due to
rises in freight rates, export tonnage,
and port expenditures.
Unilateral transfers increased to $7.0
billion, from $5.7 billion, due to larger
outflows to Israel.

U.S. bank claims on their Caribbean
branches increased $16.7 billion, compared with a $2.4 billion decrease. Most
of these funds were, in turn, supplied
to the Eurocurrency markets. The increase began in the last quarter of 1979,
after the October 6 imposition of an
U.S. assets abroad

on increases in managed liabilities. U.S.
U.S. assets abroad increased $84.5 bilbanks subsequently shifted some loans

market to bank financing, contributed net increase in claims came in the second
to the increase in lending to foreigners, and third quarters, when there was no
despite rising interest rates and gen- net growth in domestic bank lending. In
erally weaker economic activity.
the fourth quarter, when U.S. interest

47

rates rose sharply and domestic lending
increased, the rise in claims on Caribbean branches slowed.
The increase in claims on industrial
countries was virtually unchanged, at
$13.9 billion. High U.S. interest rates
in the first and fourth quarters and the
weakness in economic activity abroad
were restraining factors. To the extent
that additional borrowing was necessary to finance larger current-account
deficits and growing petroleum import
bills in the face of foreign monetary
restraint, it was carried out either in
the Eurocurrency markets or in national
money markets where interest rates were
substantially lower. About $2.4 billion
of the increase in U.S. claims on industrial countries was in the form of
U.S. bank purchases of high-yield foreign financial instruments, primarily
certificates of deposit issued by foreign
banks, held for accounts of money market mutual funds. Net purchases were
especially strong in the first and second
quarters, although below peak quarterly
purchases in the third quarter of 1979.
The increase in claims on non-OPEC
developing countries was $14.3 billion,
compared with $14.6 billion. As in 1979,
Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, and Korea
were large borrowers. These countries
also borrowed heavily in the Eurocurrency markets. An increased sensitivity
by U.S. banks to country risk exposure,
larger external debt burdens, political
uncertainties in some areas abroad, and
diminishing bank capital of many U.S.
banks limited expansion of claims to
most non-OPEC developing countries.
U.S. official reserve assets increased

$8.2 billion, compared with $1.1 billion,
primarily due to an increase in foreign
currency holdings, especially German
marks. The mark acquisitions from exchange market intervention were concentrated in March and in the fourth
quarter, when the mark fell sharply.
Other transactions increasing reserve
assets in the first quarter were the sale
of a U.S. Treasury mark-denominated
note issue, which further increased
mark balances, and an allocation of
SDKs by the IMF. In the fourth quarter, there was an exchange of SDKs for
an increase in the U.S. reserve position
with the IMF. This exchange, amounting to about $1.3 billion, was associated
with an increase in IMF quotas, 25 percent of which was to be subscribed in
SDR holdings of member countries. To
meet this requirement, many members
needed to purchase, with dollars, about
$0.3 billion in SDRs from the Fund.
The resulting increase in the Fund's
holdings of dollars reduced the U.S. reserve position by a comparable amount.
Net U.S. purchases of foreign securities were $3.2 billion, compared with
$4.6 billion. Larger purchases of foreign stocks were more than offset by an
increase in scheduled redemptions of
outstanding bonds and a reduction in
new foreign bond issues in the United
States. U.S. residents purchased a record net $2.2 billion in foreign stocks in
1980, up from $0.9 billion. Purchases of
Japanese stocks were $0.8 billion, of
which one-half occurred in the third
quarter. (The yen appreciated strongly
in the last three quarters of the year
and Japanese authorities relaxed foreign exchange restrictions.) U.S. residents purchased $0.4 billion of Western
European stocks after virtually no net
activity in 1979. The purchases were
primarily of French and Dutch equities
in the first and fourth quarters. The
sharp rise in purchases of Canadian
stocks—largely energy related and mining—that began in the third quarter of
1979 continued through the first quarter
of 1980, when there were net purchases
of $0.5 billion. Transactions shifted to
net sales of $0.2 billion by the fourth
quarter, for net purchases of $0.4 billion
for the year. The falloff in November
and December of 1980 reflected adverse



SUKVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
investor response to the Canadian Government's National Energy Program,
which appeared to be less favorable to
foreign investment. Foreign new issues
in the United States dropped $1.1 billion to $3.3 billion, due to a $1.0 billion
decline by Western European entities.
Canadian new issues, at $1.9 billion, and
placements by international financial
institutions, at $0.1 billion, remained
unchanged. Total new issues were the
lowest since 1974, when the Interest
Equalization Tax was removed from
purchases of foreign securities by U.S.
residents.
Net capital outflows for U.S. direct
investment abroad declined $3.7 billion
to $20.6 billion. Equity and intercompany account outflows fell $2.1 billion
to $3.8 billion, and reinvested earnings
fell $1.6 billion to $16.8 billion. Much of
the decline in equity and intercompany
outflows was related to the previously
mentioned special inflows associated
with the operations of a Middle East
branch of a U.S.-incorporated petroleum company. There was an increase
in outflows to nonpetroleum affiliates.
Foreign assets in the United States
Foreign assets in the United States
increased $47.6 billion, compared with
$37.6 billion in 1979.
Foreign official assets in the United
States increased $16.2 billion, compared
with a $14.2 billion decrease. Assets of
industrial countries increased $1.1 billion, compared with a $21.3 billion decrease. A substantial first-quarter reduction in dollar assets was due to large
net intervention sales of dollars by West
Germany, Switzerland, and Japan to
limit depreciation of their currencies. In
the second and third quarters, net intervention purchases of dollars were moderate as Western European currencies
temporarily rebounded. Japanese holdings of dollar assets, however, rose substantially through yearend, in an attempt to limit the yen's appreciation.
Most of the remainder of the fourthquarter accumulation of dollar assets
was accounted for by Italy, which borrowed heavily in the Eurocurrency
markets to finance its external deficit,
and Switzerland, which borrowed dollars from its domestic banks.

March 1981

Dollar assets of OPEC members increased $13.0 billion in 1980, more than
double the 1979 increase, reflecting increased proceeds from the sale of higher
priced petroleum. Increases were especially strong in the first 3 quarters, when
there were several reported direct placements by some OPEC monetary authorities with U.S. corporations.
Dollar assets of non-OPEC developing countries increased $2.2 billion,
almost 50 percent more than the 1979
increase. A large placement by a single
country in the third quarter was a contributing factor.
U.S. liabilities to private foreigners
and international financial institutions
reported by banks (lines 68, 72, and 73,
table 2) increased $13.4 billion, compared with a $37.5 billion increase. Most
of the slowdown was in interbank transactions, which dropped to only $4.9 billion from $26.7 billion. Inflows from
industrial countries declined to $6.0 billion from $18.1 billion, and inflows from
Caribbean banking centers dropped to
$3.0 billion from $14.0 billion; inflows
from developing countries, including
OPEC members, were little changed.
Several factors contributed to the
slowdown. First, there was no net
growth in domestic demand for bank
credit in the second and third quarters,
so that there was little need for foreignsource financing. Second, the increases
in liabilities were concentrated in the
first and fourth quarters, when U.S. interest and exchange rates peaked, interest rate differentials in favor of the
dollar were largest, and foreign demand
for dollar-denominated financial assets
was strong. Third, the slowdown was
partly related to the October 1979 and
March 1980 Federal Reserve actions imposing marginal reserve requirements
on managed liabilities of U.S. banks,
including Eurodollar borrowings, and
restraining the growth in bank reserves.
Net foreign purchases of securities
other than U.S. Treasury securities were
$7.4 billion, compared with $2.9 billion,
largely reflecting net purchases of $4.1
billion of U.S. stocks, up from $1.0 billion. There was a particularly large increase in purchases by U.K. and Western European residents. The 24-percent

SUEVEY OF CUEEENT BUSINESS

March 1981

rise in U.S. stock market prices and
periods of dollar strength in the exchange markets were contributing factors. Also, foreign purchases of Eurobonds newly issued abroad by U.S. corporations were $2.6 billion. Although
Eurobond rates fluctuated some 200-300
basis points, as did domestic bond rates,
such issues could be marketed much

more rapidly, and at times, at a more
favorable cost than domestic issues.
Net inflows for foreign direct investments in the United States were $8.2
billion, down $1.5 billion from 1979.
Sharply lower equity and intercompany
account inflows were partly offset by an
increase in reinvested earnings. The latter exceeded equity and intercompany

49
account inflows for the first time since
1972, reflecting greater reliance by affiliates on internal sources than on funds
from foreign parents. Equity and intercompany account inflows decreased $3.6
billion to $2.4 billion, mostly accounted
for by a shift to net outflows on shortterm intercompany accounts, especially
in the fourth quarter.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Footnotes to U.S. International Transactions Tables 1-10
General notes for all tables:
r Revised.
v Preliminary.
* Less than $500,000 (±).
n.a. Not available.
Table 1:
1. Credits, -f: exports of goods and services; unilateral transfers to United States; capital
inflows (increase in foreign assets (U.S. liabilities) or decrease in U.S. assets); decrease in
U.S. official reserve assets.
Debits, —: imports of goods and services; unilateral transfers to foreigners; capital outflows
(decrease in foreign assets (U.S. liabilities) or increase in U.S. assets); increase in U.S. official
reserve assets.
2. Excludes transfers of goods and services under U.S. military grant programs (see line 16).
3. Excludes exports of goods under U.S. Military agency sales contracts identified in Census
export documents, excludes imports of goods under direct defense expenditures identified in
Census import documents, and reflects various other adjustments (for valuation, coverage,
and timing) of Census statistics to balance of payments basis; see table 3.
4. For all areas, amounts outstanding December 31, 1980, were as follows in millions of
dollars: line 38, 26,756; line 39, 11,160; line 40, 2,610; line 41, 2,852; line 42,10,134.
5. Includes sales of foreign obligations to foreigners.
6. Consists of bills, certificates, marketable bonds and notes, and nonmarketable convertible and nonconvertible bonds and notes.
7. Consists of U.S. Treasury and Export-Import Bank obligations, not included elsewhere,
and of debts securities of U.S. Government corporations and agencies.
8. Includes, primarily, U.S. Government liabilities associated with military sales contracts
and other transactions arranged with or through foreign official agencies; see table 4.
9. Consists of investment in U.S. corporate stocks and in debt securities of private corporations and State and local governments.
10. Beginning with estimates for the second quarter of 1978, the distinction between shortand long-term liabilities is discontinued.
11. Conceptually, the sum of lines 79 and 74 is equal to "net foreign investment" in the
National Income and Product Accounts (NIPA's). However, the foreign transactions account in the NIPA's (a) includes adjustments to the international transactions accounts for
the treatment of gold, (b) excludes capital gains and losses of foreign affiliates of U.S. parent
companies from the NIPA's measure of income receipts from direct investment abroad, and
from the corresponding income payments, and (c) beginning with 1973-IV, excludes shipments and financing of military orders placed by Israel under Public Law 93-199 and subsequent similar legislation. Line 77 differs from "net exports of goods and services" in the
NIPA's for the same reasons with the exception of the military financing, which is excluded,
and the additional exclusion of U.S. Government interest payments to foreigners. The latter
payments, for NIPA's purposes, are excluded from "net exports of goods and services" but
included with transfers in "net foreign investment." A reconciliation table of the international
accounts and the NIPA's foreign transactions account appears in the Business Situation
article in this issue of the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS.
12. Due to the introduction of new reporting forms for nonbank claims and liabilities, the
maturity breakdown is available only on the limited basis shown in table 7.
13. Due to the introduction of new reporting forms for bank-related transactions, the maturity breakdown is available only on the limited basis shown in table 8.
14. Includes foreign currency denominated notes sold to private residents abroad. See
table 9, line 35, footnote 7.
Table 2:
For footnotes 1-14, see table 1.
Table 3:
1. Exports, Census basis, represent transaction values, f.a.s. U.S. port of exportation;
imports, Census basis, represent transaction values, f.a.s. foreign port of exportation. The
unadjusted figures for exports and imports shown in lines Al, A10, Dl, and D56, are as published by the Census Bureau, as are the seasonally adjusted figures in lines Al and A10;
Census data are adjusted to include trade between the U.S. Virgin Islands and foreign countries. The seasonally adjusted figures in lines Dl and D56 are prepared by BEA and represent
the summation of seasonally adjusted 4-digit end-use categories (see Technical Notes in the
June 1980 SURVEY).
2. Beginning in 1970, adjustments in lines A5, A12, B9, B26, and B43 reflect the Census
Bureau's reconciliation of discrepancies in the merchandise trade statistics published by the
United States and the counterpart statistics published in Canada. These adjustments also
have been distributed to the affected end-use categories in section C.
3. Exports of military equipment under U.S. military agency sales contracts with foreign
governments (line A6), and direct imports by the Department of Defense and the Coast Guard
(line A13), to the extent such trade is identifiable from Customs declarations. These exports
are included in tables 1,2, and 10, line 3 (transfers under U.S. military agency sales contracts);
and the imports are included in tables 1, 2, and 10, line 19 (direct defense expenditures).
4. Addition of electrical energy; deduction of exposed motion picture film for rental rather
than sale; deduction of exports to the Panama Canal Zone before October 1,1979; net change
in stock of U.S.-owned grains in storage in Canada; net timing adjustments for goods recorded
in Census data in one period but found to have been shipped in another; and coverage adjustments for special situations in which shipments were omitted from Census data.
5. Correction for discrepancy between sum of four quarters, seasonally adjusted, and the
unadjusted annual totals, plus the difference between Census published seasonally adjusted
totals and the summation of seasonally adjusted 4-digit end-use categories.
6. Addition of electrical energy; deduction of foreign charges for repair of U.S. vessels
abroad, which are included in tables 1, 2, and 10, line 22 (other transportation); deduction of
imports from Panama Canal Zone before October 1, 1979; net timing adjustments for goods
recorded in Census data in one period but found to have been shipped in another; and coverage adjustments for special situations in which shipments were omitted from Census data.
7. Annual and unadjusted quarterly data shown in this table correspond to country and
area data in table 10, lines 2 and 18, except that imports from international organizations,
namely, purchases of nonmonetary gold from the IMF, are included in data for other countries
in Asia and Africa. The memorandum items are defined as follows: Industrial countries:
Western Europe, Canada, Japan, and Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa: members of
OPEC: Venezuela, Ecuador, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates
Indonesia, Algeria, Libya, Nigeria, Gabon: Other countries: Latin American Republics,
Other Western Hemisphere, and Other countries in Asia and Africa, less OPEC and the

IIMF.

8. The statistical identification of automotive products exports to Canada (line D43) is
not as complete and comprehensive as the identification of imports under the U.S.-Canada
Automotive Products Trade Act. However, the underestimation of automotive shipments to
Canada due to unidentified auto parts and unreported exports, amounting to about $2,034
million in 1979, has been largely corrected in line C19.
9. Includes nuclear fuel materials and fuels.




Table 4:
1. Expenditures to release Israel from its contractual liability to pay for defense articles
and services purchased through military sales contracts—authorized under Public Law
93-199 and subsequent 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
the military expenditures is applied in lines A38 and A41 to reduce short-term assets previously recorded in lines A36 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 and is applied directly to lines A37 and C9. A third portion of line A3, disbursed directly
to finance purchases by Israel and other countries from commercial suppliers, is included in
line A32.
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 partially estimated from incomplete data.
3. The identification of transactions involving direct dollar outflows from the United States
is made in reports by each operating agency. Data for the fourth quarter 1980 are extrapolated
estimates by BEA, because of incomplete reports from one operating agency.
4. Line A33 includes foreign currency collected as interest and lines A38 and B2 include
foreign currency collected as principal, as recorded in lines A13 and A14 respectively.
5. Includes (a) advance payments of the Department of Defense (on military sales contracts)
financed by loans extended to foreigners by U.S. Government agencies and (b) the counter
value of the part of line CIO which was delivered without prepayment by the foreign purchaser. Also, includes expenditures of appropriations available to release foreign purchasers
from liability to make repayment.
6. Excludes liabilities associated with military sales contracts financed by U.S. Government grants and credits and included in line C2.
Table 5:
1. Acquisition of capital stock of existing and newly established companies, capitalization
of intercompany accounts, and other equity contributions.
2. Sales and liquidations of capital stock and other equity holdings, total and partial.
3. Petroleum includes the exploration, development and production of crude oil and gas
and the transportation, refining and marketing of petroleum products exclusive of petrochemicals. Manufacturing excludes petroleum refining and the smelting operations of mining
companies. "Other" industries includes industries other than petroleum and manufacturing,
the major ones being agriculture, mining and smelting, public utilities, transportation, trade,
insurance, finance and services.
Table 6:
1. As published in Treasury Bulletin. Treasury data are based on transactions by foreigners
reported by banks and brokers in the United States; net purchases by foreigners (+) correspond to net U.S. sales (+).
2. Redemptions consist of scheduled retirements and identifiable premature retirements
of U.S.-held foreign debt securities, and estimates for redemptions of Canadian issues held by
U.S. residents based on Canadian statistics. Unidentifiable nonscheduled retirements appear
in line 31.
3. Consists of International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), International Development Association (IDA), International Finance Corporation (IFC), Asian
Development Bank (ADB), and Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).
4. Mainly reflects exclusion of investments by foreign official agencies in U.S. corporate
stocks and in debt securities of U.S. Government corporations and agencies, private corporations and State and local governments. These investments are included in table 1, lines 60
and 63.
5. Securities newly issued by finance subsidiaries incorporated in the Netherlands Antilles
are included to the extent that the proceeds are transferred to U.S. parent companies.
Table 7:
1. Consists of Western Europe, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.
2. Mainly in the Bahamas and Cayman Islands.
3. Based on data for Ecuador, Venezuela, Indonesia, and other Asian and African oilexporting countries.
4. Includes funds obtained by finance subsidiaries incorporated in the Netherlands Antilles
from sources other than sales of newly issued securities to the extent that they are transferred
to U.S. parent companies.
TableS:

Table9:
1. Negotiable certificates of deposit issued to foreigners by U.S. banks are included with
U.S. banks' custody liabilities, and are shown in the memorandum.
2. Mainly negotiable and readily transferable instruments; excludes U.S. Treasury securities.
3. Consists of Western Europe, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.
4. Mainly in the Bahamas and Cayman Islands.

t Composition of the money stock measures is as follows:
Ml-A.—This measure is currency plus demand deposits at commercial banks. It is essentially the same as the old Ml except that it excludes demand deposits held by foreign commercial banks and official institutions.
Ml-B.—This equals Ml-A plus interest-earning checkable deposits at all depositary
institutions—namely NOW accounts, automatic transfer from savings (ATS) accounts, and
credit union share draft balances—as well as a small amount of demand deposits at thrift
institutions that cannot, using present data sources, be separated from interest-earning
checkable deposits.
A/2.—This measure adds to Ml-B overnight repurchase agreements (RP's) issued by commercial banks and certain overnight Eurodollars (those issued by Caribbean branches of
member banks) held by U.S. nonbank residents, money market mutual fund shares, and
savings and small-denomination time deposits (those issued in denominations of less than
$100,000) at all depositary institutions. Depositary institutions are commercial banks (including U.S. agencies and branches of foreign banks, Edge Act corporations, and foreign
investment companies), mutual savings banks, savings and loan associations, and credit
unions.
M3.—This measure equals M2 plus large-denomination time deposits (those issued in
denominations of $100,000 or more) at all depositary institutions (including negotiable
