second quarter, a slowing in the rate of accumulation contributed negatively to the changes in real GNP and in
real gross domestic purchases. Among

end of the quarter—are the same as those used to prepare the estimates released after the end of the quarter. However, the source data that are available for
the "flash" estimates are limited to only 1 or 2
months of the quarter and are preliminary in some
cases. BEA makes projections of the missing source
data. The major source data that are available are:
For personal consumption expenditures (PCE), July
and August retail sales, unit sales of new autos
through the first 10 days of September, and sales of
new trucks for July and August; for nonresidential
fixed investment, the same data for autos and trucks
as for PCE, July construction put in place, July manufacturers' shipments of equipment, and business investment plans for the quarter; for residential investment, July construction put in place, and July housing
starts; for change in business inventories, July book
values for manufacturing and trade, and unit auto inventories for July and August; for net exports of goods
and services, July merchandise trade; for government
purchases of goods and services, Federal unified
budget outlays for July, State and local construction
put in place for July, and State and local employment
for July and August; and for GNP prices, the Consumer Price Index for July, and the Producer Price
Index for July.
The estimates for the second quarter are revised;
see table 2.

tern of particularly volatile subcomponents—registered changes markedly different from those in the second
quarter. Fixed investment was flat
after a substantial increase, and government purchases were up sharply
after a moderate increase.
Inflation slowed modestly. The
GNP fixed-weighted price index increased 3 percent, down from 4 percent in the second quarter; prices of
gross domestic purchases followed a
similar pattern. Energy prices accounted for most of the slowing; after
a substantial increase in the second
quarter, they changed little in the
third.
Third-quarter developments in the
components of real GNP and in personal income are sketched below on
the basis of data available as of midSeptember.
• Personal consumption expenditures registered a sizable increase, although less than the 5 percent registered in the second quarter. The increase was less evenly spread in the
third quarter than in the second. An
increase in durables, larger than the
second quarter's 7 percent, was accounted for by motor vehicles, as sales
of both autos and trucks increased

Looking Ahead . . .
• NIPA Revisions. An advance overview of the upcoming comprehensive revision of the NIPA's will appear in the October SURVEY. This overview will describe the statistical revisions, the definitional and classificational revisions, and changes in the table formats; it will not present any
of the revised estimates, which are scheduled for release in December.
• Metropolitan Area Projections. An article summarizing projected
trends in income, employment, and population for metropolitan areas to
the year 2000 will appear in a fall issue of the SURVEY. The detailed projections on which the article will be based will be available in October in
volume 2 of 1985 BEA Regional Projections.
• Input-Output Estimates. Two sets of estimates—new structures and
equipment by using industry, and employment and employee compensation—consistent with the 1977 input-output table will appear in a fall
issue of the SURVEY. (BEA's 1977 input-output table was presented in the
May 1984 SURVEY.)

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
sharply; furniture and household
equipment edged down after a long
climb. Nondurables changed little
after a 4V2-percent increase, reflecting
the pattern of food as well as clothing
and shoes. Services increased at about
the second quarter's 4 percent.
• Nonresidential fixed investment
slipped after a 14V2-percent increase.
Both structures and producers' durable equipment (PDE) contributed to
the swing. In PDE, most of the swing
was accounted for by computers,
which are quite volatile from quarter
to quarter. Purchases of computers
accounted for much of a large increase in PDE in the second quarter
and more than accounted for a decline in the third. The effect of computers on PDE was partly offset by
motor vehicles; largely reflecting
autos, purchases of motor vehicles declined in the second quarter and increased in the third. In structures,
the swing was concentrated in commercial structures other than office
buildings and in industrial structures;
most categories changed little in the
third quarter.
• Residential investment increased
somewhat more than the 6J/2 percent
registered in the second quarter. The
third-quarter increase was largely in
the components other than new construction that together make up
about one-third of residential investment. Each of these components—additions and alterations, commissions
on the sale of residences, and mobile
homes—increased in the third quarter. The recovery in residential investment from the recent low in the
fourth quarter of 1984 also has been
largely in these components. Over
this period, single-family construction,
which was flat in the third quarter,
has increased moderately. Multifamily construction, which was up in the
third quarter, has declined over this
period.
• Little, if any, appears to have
been added to business inventories in
the third quarter, after moderate accumulation—about $8J/2 billion (1972
dollars)—in the second. Thus, the contribution of inventories to the change
in GNP was negative, although a
little less so than in the second quarter. On the basis of fragmentary information, it appears that farm inventories continued to accumulate, although somewhat less than the $3%
billion in the second quarter. Accumulation in recent quarters has put




farm stocks at levels that are taxing
the capacity of storage facilities. Nonfarm inventories appear to have been
reduced after accumulation of $5 billion in the second quarter. Auto inventories more than accounted for the
reduction. After a substantial increase in the first quarter, auto inventories have been run down to levels
below that considered desirable by the
industry. Overall, it is likely that the
ratio of business inventories to total
final sales moved toward the low end
of the 3.01-3.09 range within which it
has fluctuated during the last 2 years.
• Net exports appear to have increased slightly, as exports declined
less than imports. As in the second
quarter, the changes were largely accounted for by merchandise trade. In
exports, agricultural products registered another sharp decline in the
face of ample worldwide supplies;
nonagricultural exports increased
somewhat after a second-quarter decline. In imports, petroleum was flat
after a large second-quarter increase
that may have reflected some purchases that had been deferred in the
first quarter when petroleum prices
were declining. Nonpetroleum imports again edged down.
• Government purchases increased
substantially after a 3V2-percent increase in the second quarter. In Federal purchases, both defense and nondefense increased. The recent volatility in nondefense purchases is traceable to transactions of the Commodity
Credit Corporation (CCC). The thirdquarter increase in nondefense purchases, and also the second-quarter
decline and the first-quarter increase,
were accounted for by these transactions. Crop prices have been falling,
and, as they fell below support levels,
farmers have taken the option of placing substantial amounts of wheat,
corn, and some other crops with the
CCC. In State and local purchases,
third- and second-quarter increases
were in construction, largely highways.
• Personal income, as it has in
every quarter since the beginning of
1984, increased less than in the preceding quarter: it increased $27 billion, compared with $31 billion in the
second quarter. One source of the
slowing in recent quarters, and by far
the largest source in the third quarter, was farm proprietors' income.
Farm income declined $3 billion on
average in the first and second quar-

September 1985

ters and plummeted $10 Vk billion in
the third. Increases in subsidies had
propped up farm income in the first
and second quarters, but, in the third
quarter, subsidies declined $8x/2 billion. In addition, declines in crop and
livestock prices in the third quarter
more than offset increases in production.
Wage and salary disbursements increased roughly $3% billion less than
the second quarter's $28 billion. Manufacturing increased after no change,
but all other major groups—other
commodity-producing,
distributive,
services, and government and government enterprises—increased less than
in the second quarter. Transfer payments increased roughly $5 billion
more than the second quarter's $x/2
billion. A major factor in the step-up
was an increase, after a decline, in
retroactive Social Security payments.
Personal interest income registered
another small decline, reflecting the
declining rate of interest paid on personal assets. Other components of personal income registered changes that
were similar to those in the second
quarter.
The change in, but not the level of,
personal taxes and nontax payments
in the third quarter reflected the
impact of the timing of refunds on
1984 Federal personal income taxes.
Refund payments are netted against
tax payments in calculating personal
taxes, and, because refunds were
shifted from the first quarter to the
second, personal taxes were unusually
large in the first quarter and unusually small in the second. The impact
on the change in taxes was a plus
$27 V2 billion in the first quarter, a
minus $55 billion in the second, and a
plus $27 V2 billion in the third. Excluding these impacts, personal taxes
increased about $14 Vk billion in the
second quarter and—reflecting the
smaller increase in the tax base and
about $3 billion in legislated reductions—roughly $9Vfe billion in the
third.
Disposable personal income—that
is, personal income less personal
taxes—declined roughly $10 billion in
the third quarter, in contrast to a
$71x/2 billion increase in the second.
Excluding the effect of the tax refunds, the third-quarter increase in
disposable personal income was
roughly the same as the second quarter's 2V2 percent. However, these increases only about matched those in

September 1985

prices; again excluding the effect of
the tax refunds, real disposable
income declined l/2 percent in the
second quarter and was about flat in
the third.
Although the increase in personal
outlays was several billion dollars less
than the $51 billion in the second
quarter, personal saving declined
sharply, reflecting the huge swing in
disposable personal income. The personal saving rate, which had moved
up in the second quarter to 5 percent,
dropped below 3% percent in the
third. Although the pattern of change
in the saving rate was probably affected by the tax refunds, the thirdquarter level probably was not.
Second-quarter corporate profits
Revised second-quarter estimates
show that profits from current production—profits with inventory valuation adjustment (IVA) and capital
consumption adjustment (CCAdj)—increased $6 billion, to $298% billion,
following a $¥2 billion increase in the
first quarter. The revised estimate is
$1 billion higher than the estimate
issued a month ago. Profits from the
rest of the world were revised up $2
billion; domestic profits of nonfinancial corporations were revised down
$V2 billion.
Domestic profits of financial corporations increased $5% billion, to $34
billion, following a $1 billion increase.
Domestic profits of nonfinancial corporations declined $1% billion, to
$242 billion, following no change.
Profits from the rest of the world increased $2 billion, to $23 billion, also
following no change. Profits from the
rest of the world reflected increases
in earnings on direct investment in
Western Europe and Canada, which
more than offset decreases in Latin
America and Australia.
Profits before tax (PBT) differ from
profits from current production by
the IVA and CCAdj. In the second
quarter, both adjustments increased:
the IVA by $l.Vi billion, to $2% billion, and the CCAdj by $6 billion, to

NOTE.—For the second quarter of 1985, the following revised or additional major source data became available: for personal
consumption expenditures, revised retail sales for June, consumer share of new car purchases for June, and consumption of
electricity for June; for nonresidential fixed investment, revised manufacturers' shipments of equipment for June, revised
construction put in place for June, and business share of new car purchases for June; for residential investment, revised
construction put in place for June; for change in business inventories, revised book values for manufacturing and trade for June;
for net exports of goods and services, revised merchandise trade and revised service receipts for the quarter; for government
purchases of goods and services, revised construction put in place for June; for wages and salaries, revised employment, average
hourly earnings, and average weekly hours for June; for net interest, financial assets held by households for the quarter, and
revised net interest received from abroad for the quarter; for corporate profits, revised domestic book profits for the quarter, and
revised profits from the rest of the world for the quarter; and for GNP prices, revised residential housing prices for the quarter.

$75 billion. PBT declined $1% billion,
to $221 billion, following a $6y2 billion decline.
Profits with IVA but without
CCAdj—the variant of profits available by industry—increased
$Vfe billion, to $2231/2 billion, following a $4
billion decline. Increases of $5 billion
in domestic profits of financial corporations and of $2 billion in profits
from the rest of the world slightly
more than offset declines in domestic
profits of nonfinancial corporations.
Overall, the domestic profits picture
is essentially the same as that described in the August "Business Situation/' Among financial corporations,
profits of savings and loan associa-

tions increased sharply, because their
costs of raising funds have gone down
with interest rates. Among nonfinancial corporations, profits of manufacturers—particularly of motor vehicles
and petroleum products—and profits
of transportation and public utilities
were down, but trade profits increased.

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

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

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

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

assumptions, and the latter is due to
higher nuclear waste disposal fees.
The revision in expenditures is the
net result of $4.8 billion of upward revisions and $4.0 billion of downward
revisions. The largest upward revision—$2.8 billion—is in nondefense
purchases of goods and services, reflecting higher purchases of agricultural commodities by the CCC. The
other large upward revisions are in
subsidies less current surplus of government enterprises ($1.0 billion) and
in transfer payments to foreigners
($0.9 billion). The revision in subsidies
less current surplus reflects higher
housing subsidies and a higher Postal
Service deficit. The revision in foreign
transfers reflects higher spending for
economic assistance. The largest
downward revision—$3.1 billion—is in
national defense purchases of goods
and services, due to lower-than-anticipated spending since April. The other
downward revisions are in grants-inaid to State and local governments
($0.7 billion) and in transfer payments
to persons ($0.2 billion). The revision
in grants-in-aid is concentrated in
grants for education; the revision in
personal transfers is the net result of
a $1.0 billion downward revision in
Social Security benefits and small
upward revisions in several other programs.
For fiscal year 1986, receipts are
$16.8 billion lower, expenditures are
$12.1 billion lower, and the deficit is




-1613 — 1585

$4.7 billion higher. All categories of
receipts are revised down. The largest
revision—$11.1 billion in corporate
profits tax accruals—is due to lower
corporate profits. Personal tax and
nontax receipts are revised down $3.2
billion, reflecting lower declarations
and net final settlements. Indirect
business tax and nontax accruals are
revised down $1.7 billion, reflecting
lower windfall profit taxes and other
excise taxes, such as for gasoline. Contributions for social insurance are revised down $0.8 billion, reflecting
lower Social Security contributions.
Table 4.—Relation of Federal Government Receipts in the National Income and Product
Accounts to the Unified Budget

The revision in expenditures is the
net result of $21.3 billion of downward revisions and $9.2 billion of
upward revisions. The largest downward revision—$17.1 billion for national defense purchases of goods and
services—is due to the policy decision
to accept the lower national defense
spending contained in the budget resolution. Net interest paid is revised
down $3.8 billion, reflecting the lower
interest rates in the revised economic
assumptions. Transfer payments ^to
persons are revised down $0.4 billion,
reflecting lower medicare transfers.
The largest upward revision—$4.9 billion in nondefense purchases of goods
and services—reflects higher spending
by the CCC and withdrawal of the 5percent civilian pay cut. Transfer payments to foreigners are revised up
$2.1 billion due to the Congressional
action on foreign economic assistance
programs. Subsidies less the current
surplus of government enterprises are
revised up $1.6 billion, largely reflecting higher housing subsidies and a
higher CCC deficit. Grants-in-aid to
State and local governments are revised up $0.6 billion, reflecting higher
grants for education.

Plant and Equipment Expenditures,
of the Four Quarters of 1985
BUSINESS plans to spend $384.0
billion for new plant and equipment
(P&E) in 1985, 8.3 percent more than
in 1984, according to the BEA survey
conducted in July and August (tables
1 and 2, and chart I).1 Spending was
$354.4 billion in 1984, 16.3 percent
more than in 1983.
The latest estimate of planned
spending for 1985 is $2.1 billion lower
than that reported in the survey conducted in April and May. A 1.6-percent downward revision in manufacturing industries more than offset a
0.2-percent upward revision in nonmanufacturing industries. The previous survey showed planned spending
of $386.1 billion for 1985, 9.2 percent
more than 1984 spending.2
Real spending—capital spending adjusted to remove price changes—is estimated to increase 5.8 percent in
1985. Real spending increased 15.3
percent in 1984, following a decline of
0.8 percent in 1983 (tables 2 and 3).
Estimates of real spending are computed from survey data on current1. The survey covers expenditures both for new facilities and for expansion or replacement of existing
facilities that are chargeable to fixed asset accounts
and for which depreciation or amortization accounts
are ordinarily maintained. The survey excludes expenditures for land and mineral rights; maintenance
and repair; used plant and equipment, including that
purchased or acquired through mergers or acquisitions; assets located in foreign countries; residential
structures; and a few other items.
The estimates presented are universe totals of P&E
expenditures in the United States based on sample
data compiled from reports on a company basis, not
from separate reports for plants or establishments. A
company's capital expenditures are assigned to a
single industry in accordance with the industry classification of the company's principal product or service.
P&E expenditures differ from nonresidential fixed
investment, which is a component of GNP, in type of
detail, data sources, coverage, and timing. For further
information, see pages 24-25 of the February 1985
SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS.
2. Spending plans have been adjusted for systematic
reporting biases. Quarterly estimates were adjusted
for each industry, for each quarter of the year, based
on the median of the ratios of planned to actual
spending for that quarter in the preceding 8 years.
Before adjustment, planned spending for 1985 was
$384.43 billion for "all industries," $157.93 billion for
manufacturing, and $226.50 billion for nonmanufacturing. The net effect of the adjustments was to lower
manufacturing: $4.48 billion and to raise nonmanufacturing $4.03 billion.

dollar spending and from estimated
capital goods price deflators developed
by BEA.3 The capital goods price deflator for "all industries" increased
0.9 percent in 1984 and is projected by
BEA to increase 2.4 percent in 1985.
Current-dollar spending in the
second quarter of 1985 increased 4.5
percent, to an annual rate of $387.8
billion, following a 0.8-percent increase in the first; second-quarter
spending was 0.7 percent higher than
anticipated in the previous survey.
3. Specifically, the current-dollar figures reported by
survey respondents are adjusted using implicit price
deflators derived from unpublished detailed estimates
in the national income and product accounts of current- and constant-dollar nonresidential fixed investment (adjusted to a P&E basis). To estimate planned
real spending, the implicit price deflator for each industry is projected using its growth rate over the
latest four quarters for which it is available.

Plans reported in the latest survey indicate a 0.4-percent increase in the
third quarter and a 0.5-percent decline in the fourth.
Real spending increased 4.4 percent
in the second quarter of 1985, following a 0.4-percent decline in the first.
Estimates indicate declines of 0.4 percent in the third quarter and 0.8 percent in the fourth.
The estimates for 1982-84 in this article reflect revised seasonal-adjustment
factors; estimates for earlier years were
not affected. Revised annual estimates
for 1984 were calculated from quarterly
estimates unadjusted for seasonal variations. The previously reported annual
estimates for 1984 were calculated from
seasonally adjusted quarterly estimates
derived using projected seasonal-adjustment factors.

1. Revised annual estimates for 1984 are calculated from quarterly estimates unadjusted for
seasonal variations. The previously reported annual estimates for 1984 were calculated from seasonally adjusted quarterly estimates derived using projected seasonal-adjustment factors.
2. Estimates are based on planned capital expenditures reported by business in July and
August 1985. The planned expenditures are adjusted for systematic biases in reporting. The adjustment procedures are described in the February 1985 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS. Before
bias adjustment, current-dollar plans for 1985 were $384.43 billion for "all industries," $157.93
billion for manufacturing, and $226.50 billion for nonmanufacturing industries surveyed quarterly3. Quarterly estimates for 1982-84 reflect seasonal-adjustment factors that have been revised to
incorporate data for recent periods and to ensure that the sum of the seasonally adjusted quarters equals the annual estimate for each year.
4. Surveyed quarterly.
5. Includes industries not shown separately.
6. Consists of lumber, furniture, instruments, and miscellaneous.

8. Includes construction.
9. The latest estimates for the industries surveyed annually were published in the April 1985
SURVEY. The current-dollar plans for 1985 were $433.06 billion for total nonfarm business, $279.43
billion for total nonmanufacturing, and $48.66 billion for nonmanufacturing industries surveyed
annually.
10. "All industries" plus the part of nonmanufacturing that is surveyed annually.
11. Consists of real estate; professional services; membership organizations and social services;

12. Procedures for preparing constant-dollar estimates are described in the February 1985
SURVEY. To estimate real spending plans, BEA adjusts the survey results for assumed price
changes. Estimates for the first quarter of 1985 have been revised to reflect new price deflators
based on revisions in the national income and product accounts data.
13. The latest estimates for the industries surveyed annually were published in the April 1985
SURVEY. The constant-dollar plans for 1985 were $206.93 billion for total nonfarm business,
$136.24 billion for total nonmanufacturing, and $26.46 billion for nonmanufacturing industries
surveyed annually.

Although actual spending in the
second quarter of 1985 was above
plans, planned spending for the year
was revised downward slightly. Indicators of the investment outlook were
mixed in the second quarter. Factors
favorable to investment included increases in both corporate cash flow
and real final sales of GNP, as well as
the continued decline in interest
rates. Factors less favorable included
declines in net new capital appropriations, new orders for nondefense capital goods, corporate profits, and the
manufacturing capacity utilization
rate.

Manufacturing Programs
In manufacturing, current-dollar
spending increased 6.0 percent in the
second quarter of 1985, to an annual
rate of $154.3 billion, following a 0.9percent decline in the first. Durable
goods industries increased 5.9 percent
in the second quarter; nondurables,
6.1 percent. Manufacturers plan a 2.3percent increase in the third quarter
and a 1.2-percent decline in the
fourth.
For the year 1985, manufacturers
plan to spend $153.4 billion, 10.5 per-

cent more than in 1984; in the previous survey, a planned increase of 12.7
percent was reported. Manufacturers'
spending increased 19.5 percent in
1984, following a decline of 3.7 percent in 1983.
Durable goods industries plan an
11.1-percent increase in 1985. The
largest increase is in motor vehicles,
29.0 percent; both domestic and foreign manufacturers have announced
plans to open new U.S. plants and to
expand and modernize existing
plants. Large increases are also
planned in "other durables," 15.6 percent; blast furnaces-steel works, 10.4
percent; and electrical machinery,
10.2 percent. A decline of 6.2 percent
is planned in nonferrous metals.
Nondurable goods industries plan a
10.0-percent increase in 1985. The
largest increases are in rubber, 17.1
percent; food-beverage, 14.6 percent;
paper, 13.8 percent; and "other nondurables," 13.6 percent. A decline of
2.5 percent is planned in textiles and
may be related to the completion of
major expansion programs in 1984, as
well as to intense foreign competition.
Real spending by manufacturers is
estimated to increase 7.9 percent in
1985—8.1 percent in durables and 7.8
percent in nondurables. In 1984, durables increased 23.0 percent; nondurables, 16.4 percent.

Nonmanufacturing Programs
In nonmanufacturing, currentdollar spending increased 3.5 percent
in the second quarter of 1985, to an

annual rate of $233.5 billion, following a 1.9-percent increase in the first.
Nonmanufacturing industries plan a
0.8-percent decline in the third quarter and a 0.1-percent decline in the
fourth.
For the year 1985, nonmanufacturing industries plan to spend $230.5
billion, 6.9 percent more than in 1984;
in the previous survey, a planned increase of 7.0 percent was reported.
Nonmanufacturing industries' spending increased 14.3 percent in 1984, following a decline of 0.7 percent in
1983.
In 1985, the largest increases are
planned in gas utilities, 20.2 percent,
and air transportation, 19.9 percent.
Increases of 10.4 percent and 6.7 percent are planned in "commercial and
other" and railroads, respectively. Declines are planned in mining, 4.7 percent; electric utilities, 4.1 percent; and
"other transportation," 1.9 percent. In
"other transportation," most of the
weakness is in trucking, which experienced declining traffic volume and
lower profits through the first two
quarters of 1985.
Real spending by nonmanufacturing industries is estimated to increase
4.4 percent in 1985; it increased 12.7
percent in 1984. Estimated increases
in "commercial and other," 6.6 percent, and transportation, 2.8 percent,
more than offset estimated declines in
mining, 6.3 percent, and public utilities, 0.2 percent.

Capital Expenditures by Majority-Owned Foreign Affiliates
of U,S, Companies, 1985 and 1986
MAJORITY-OWNED foreign affiliates of U.S. companies plan to increase capital expenditures 2 percent,
to $40.9 billion, in 1986, following a
planned 15-percent increase
in 1985
(table 1 and chart 2).1 The strong
1985 increase is from a relatively low
base, and, even if the increases
planned for both years are realized,
spending in 1986 will be below the
levels of 1980-82.
The sharp increase in spending expected in 1985 probably reflects lower
interest rates and the moderate economic recovery abroad; however,
based on recent experience, the 1985
spending estimate may be revised
downward in later surveys. The much
smaller increase planned for 1986
may partly reflect conservative estimates by investors. Factors that
would tend to boost 1986 spending are
expectations that the business recovery abroad may continue and that
there will be a further decline in the
foreign currency value of the dollar;
those that would depress spending are
excess capacity in some industries,
and affiliates' loss of market share,

particularly in Europe, because of
heightened competition from companies in the Far East, particularly in
Japan.
Actual spending for 1984 and
spending now planned for 1985 are

well below previously planned levels,
The latest estimates for both years
are based on the survey conducted in
June; the previous estimates are
based on the survey taken 6 months
earlier. In terms of year-to-year

NOTE.—Ellen M. Herr assisted in preparing
the estimates. Smith W. Allnutt III designed
the computer programs for data retrieval and
analysis.

1. Capital expenditure estimates are for majorityowned nonbank foreign affiliates of nonbank U.S. parents. (An affiliate is majority owned when the combined ownership of all U.S. parents exceeds 50 percent.) For affiliates other than those engaged in natural resource exploration and development, capital expenditures include all expenditures that are charged
to capital accounts and that are made to acquire, add
to, or improve property, plant, and equipment. For affiliates engaged in natural resource exploration and
development, capital expenditures include the full
amount of exploration and development expenditures,
whether capitalized or expensed. Capital expenditures
are on a gross basis; sales and other dispositions of
fixed assets are not netted against them. They 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 necessary data are unavailable.

showed a 4-percent increase, whereas
the latest estimates show a 4-percent
decline (table 2). In contrast, for 1985,
the percentage increase is now larger
than previously planned, because the
downward revision in the level of
spending for 1984 was proportionally
larger than that for 1985.
By area, affiliates in developed
countries plan a 3-percent spending
increase in 1986, to $29.8 billion, compared with a 15-percent increase in
1985. In developing countries, affiliates also plan to increase spending 3
percent, to $10.7 billion, after a 15percent increase. Affiliates in "international"—those that have operations
spanning more than one country and
that are engaged in petroleum shipping, other water transportation, or
operating oil and gas drilling equipment that is moved from country to
country during the year—plan to cut
spending 17 percent, to $0.4 billion, in
1986, after a 21-percent increase.




Petroleum
Petroleum affiliates plan to increase spending 3 percent, to $17.2
billion, after an 18-percent increase in
1985 (tables 3-5). However, largely
due to the oil glut and weak prices in
recent years, spending in 1986 is expected to be well below the 1982 level.
In developed countries, affiliates plan
to increase spending 5 percent, to
$11.4 billion, after an 18-percent increase. In both years, Canadian affiliates account for much of the higher
spending; their expenditures are expected to increase 12 percent in 1986,
to $3.9 billion, after a planned 33-percent increase. The increases reflect
that country's decontrol of oil prices
and lower tax rates.
Elsewhere in developed countries,
British affiliates plan to increase expenditures 10 percent, to $4.0 billion,
following a 17-percent increase. The
increases, which are for development
of offshore oilfields, reflect, in part,

the increased costs associated with developing smaller or deeper fields, as
production from many larger or shallower fields is expected to peak. In
contrast to the increases in spending
planned by affiliates in Canada and
the United Kingdom, affiliates in the

Netherlands plan to reduce spending
37 percent, to $0.5 billion, in 1986,
after a 56-percent increase; the bulge
in expenditures in 1985 was primarily
for refinery expansion.
In developing countries, affiliates
plan a 1-percent increase, to $5.4 billion, following a 17-percent increase.
In both years, the increases are largely accounted for by Indonesian affiliates engaged in offshore gasfield and
oilfield development.
Affiliates in "international" plan a
small dollar (but sizable percentage)
increase in spending in 1985 and a
small dollar (but sizeable percentage)
decrease in 1986. Reflecting an excess
supply of mobile offshore drilling rigs
and tankers, spending is expected to
continue at depressed levels.
Manufacturing

Manufacturing affiliates plan to increase spending 1 percent, to $16.5
billion, in 1986, after a 16-percent increase in 1985. In 1985, affiliates in
every industry except primary and
fabricated metals plan increases; in
1986, only affiliates in chemicals and
nonelectrical machinery plan increases.
In developed countries, affiliates
plan to increase spending 2 percent,




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
to $13.2 billion, following a 15-percent
increase in 1985. The 1986 increase
reflects small increases in spending
by affiliates in several European
countries, largely offset by a decline
in spending by affiliates in Canada.
In Europe, the largest increase in
1986 is planned by German affiliates.
They expect to increase spending 6
percent, to $2.4 billion, following a
similar increase in 1985; affiliates in
nonelectrical machinery, mostly computer manufacturers, account for virtually all of the increase. In Canada,
affiliates plan to reduce expenditures
9 percent, to $3.2 billion, following a
30-percent increase. The largest decline in spending in 1986 is by an affiliate in primary and fabricated
metals; it reflects the expected completion in 1985 of a capacity expansion project. The sharp increase in
Canadian affiliates' 1985 spending is
concentrated in transportation equipment, and is largely for expansion
and modernization of vehicle manufacturing and assembly facilities.
In developing countries, affiliates
plan a 1-percent increase, to $3.2 billion, in 1986, after a 20-percent increase in 1985. The largest dollar increase in 1986 is planned in Brazil;
the largest in 1985 is planned in
Mexico. The increases reflect general

September 1985

economic improvement in both countries.
Other industries
Affiliates in all other industries
combined plan to increase spending 3
percent in 1986, to $7.3 billion, after a
7-percent increase. Affiliates in
mining account for most of next
year's increase; their expenditures are
expected to increase 19 percent, to
$0.9 billion, after a 24-percent increase. Next year's planned increase
is largely by a copper mining affiliate
in Chile; in contrast, this year's increase is largely by a bauxite mining
affiliate in Australia that is building
a refinery.
Trade affiliates plan to increase
spending 1 percent, to $4.0 billion,
after a 12-percent increase in 1985.
The 1986 increase results from small,
nearly offsetting changes in spending
in many areas, and may reflect investor concerns about the extent of the
recovery abroad. Affiliates in finance
(except banking), insurance, and real
estate plan to maintain spending at
$0.2 billion in both years. Partly offsetting the increases in mining and
trade are small reductions in spending in both years by affiliates in
"other industries"—agriculture, construction, public utilities, and other
services.

U.S. International Transactions,
Second Quarter 1985
THE U.S. current-account deficit increased to $31.8 billion in the second
quarter from $29.5 billion in the first.
An increase in the merchandise trade
deficit to a record $33.0 billion was
partly offset by an increase in net
service receipts. The latter was more
than accounted for by larger receipts
of income on U.S. direct investment
abroad, which were boosted by exchange-rate related capital gains after
large losses in the first quarter. Unilateral transfers increased, reflecting
higher payments to international organizations' programs.
Among capital flows, U.S. direct investment abroad shifted to net outflows, largely reflecting higher reinvested earnings. Net U.S. purchases
of foreign securities slowed; a decrease in stock purchases was only
partly offset by larger bond purchases. Claims on foreigners reported
by U.S. banks fell substantially; although claims on banks' own foreign
offices increased, claims on other (unaffiliated) foreigners decreased, partly
due to continued soft demand for U.S.
bank credit abroad.

for commercial and investment purposes, and subsequently changed little
or depreciated only slightly.
The dollar depreciated 12 percent
against the British pound. Short-term
interest rates that were over 450 basis
points higher than U.S. rates and
rates in other major financial centers
contributed to heavy inflows into sterling-denominated assets, as may have
the pickup in economic activity following the end of the coal strike. The
dollar depreciated 5 to 6 percent
against the major European Monetary
System (EMS) currencies, except the
Italian lira, against which it depreciated 3 percent. Although interest
rates in EMS countries did not decline as rapidly as in the United
States, appreciation of these currencies was limited by only moderate economic expansion in Europe and the
greater attractiveness of sterling
assets.
The dollar depreciated 3 percent
against the Japanese yen, which was
supported by the expanding Japanese
economy and by a large current-account surplus. The dollar appreciated

Foreign direct investment in the
United States increased, mostly reflecting two large loans by European
companies to their U.S. affiliates. Net
foreign purchases of U.S. securities
remained strong, but were down from
their record first-quarter level; net
purchases of U.S. Treasury securities
increased. Foreign official assets in
the United States increased in contrast to a large decrease in the first
quarter.
The statistical discrepancy (errors
and omissions in reported transactions) was an inflow of $8.9 billion.
U.S. dollar in exchange markets
The dollar depreciated 5 percent in
the second quarter on a trade-weighted quarterly average basis against the
currencies of 10 industrial countries
(chart 3, table C). At the beginning of
the quarter, the dollar continued to
decline substantially against most
major currencies, due to falling interest rates and concerns about the lack
of strength in the U.S. economy. In
mid-April, the dollar firmed, partly
due to increased demand for dollars

Near the end of the quarter, Mexican authorities permitted foreign exchange trading houses operated by
Mexican banks to carry out certain
large transactions on the open
market, resulting in a de facto devaluation of the peso. This step effec-

tively created a third peso-dollar exchange rate about equal to the rate
on unofficial peso transactions available from currency traders in the
United States along the Mexican
border. The new "superfree" exchange rate was 27 percent lower
than the previously existing "free"
rate and 37 percent lower than the
"controlled" rate.

The merchandise trade deficit increased $3.5 billion to a record $33.0
billion in the second quarter. Exports
decreased $2.5 billion to $53.2 billion,
the lowest quarterly level since the
fourth quarter of 1983. Volume decreased 5 percent. The decrease was
due to declining demand for agricultural products, the continued impact
of the high exchange value of the
dollar, and only moderate economic
expansion abroad. Imports increased
$1.0 billion to $86.2 billion, reflecting
a pickup in petroleum imports; nonpetroleum imports decreased slightly.
Volume was unchanged.
Agricultural exports decreased
sharply for the second consecutive
quarter; they were down $1.3 billion,
or 15 percent, to $7.1 billion. Volume
decreased 14 percent. Feedgrains, soybeans and other oil seeds, cotton, and
tobacco fell; wheat remained at its
lowest level since 1978. Exports decreased to all major areas except
Latin America.
|
Nonagricultural exports decreased
$1.2 billion, or 3 percent, to $46.1 billion, all in volume. Exports have been
flat since the third quarter of 1984.
Chart 4 shows the slowdown in industrial production among several major
trading partners and regions beginning in late 1984 and the corresponding slowdown in U.S. n6nagricultural
exports.
Exports of nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials decreased
$1.0 billion to $13.0 billion. Coal, fuel
oil, and fertilizers fell sharply; smaller decreases occurred in precious
metals and paper. Capital goods decreased $1.1 billion to $18.8 billion.

increase in parts was partly offset by
lower deliveries of complete cars to
Canada. Consumer goods decreased
$0.2 billion to $3.2 billion.
Petroleum imports increased $1.9
billion, or 17 percent, to $13.2 billion;
the average number of barrels imported per day increased to 5.36 million
from 4.61 million. The increase reflected a partial rebound from a sharp
fall in the first quarter, when falling
prices may have led importers to
defer some purchases. In contrast to
declines in the three previous quarters, the average price per barrel rose
slightly—up 11 cents—to $26.97. Domestic petroleum stocks rose moderately after a substantial drop in the
first quarter.
Nonpetroleum imports decreased
$0.9 billion, or 1 percent, to $73.1 billion, all in volume. All major commodity categories except automotive
products decreased, probably due to
the slower growth of the domestic
economy. The dollar's second-quarter
depreciation probably had little or no
effect on imports, because exchange
rate changes affect trade flows only
with a time lag.
Foods, feeds, and beverages decreased $0.4 billion to $5.4 billion.
Nonpetroleum industrial supplies and
materials decreased $0.7 billion to
$14.7 billion; decreases in nonmonetary gold and in iron and steel were
partly offset by increases in coal and
nuclear fuels, lumber, and tobacco.
Capital goods decreased $0.5 billion to
$16.1 billion; large decreases in electrical machinery and in business machinery and computers were partly
offset by increases in aircraft and




parts, primarily from
Western
Europe. Consumer goods decreased
$0.3 billion to $16.7 billion; the largest
decreases were in electrical appliances and numismatic coins.

Automotive products, up $1.0 billion
to a record $16.3 billion, continued to
increase strongly. Strong domestic
auto sales have resulted in a near
doubling of imports during the past 3
years. Imports from areas other than
Canada accounted for the increase;
complete cars from Japan were especially strong. Restrictions on exports
of Japanese cars to the United States
were eased starting in the second
quarter.
By area, the increase in the merchandise trade deficit was accounted
for by the rise in the deficit with industrialized countries. The deficit
with industrial countries increased
$3.6 billion to $22.1 billion. The deficit
with Western Europe increased $2.3
billion to $6.4 billion, as U.S. exports
fell sharply and imports rose. A similar pattern held for Japan, where the
deficit increased $1.2 billion to $11.9
billion. The deficit with Canada was
unchanged at $3.9 billion, as both exports and imports increased. An $0.8
billion increase in the deficit with
members of OPEC to $2.7 billion reflected a decline in nonagricultural
exports and increased petroleum imports. This increase about offset a decrease in the deficit with other countries to $8.3 billion. Imports from
Latin America and from newly industrialized countries in Asia dropped
more than agricultural exports.
Service transactions
Net service receipts increased $2.2
billion to $4.5 billion in the second
quarter. Higher receipts of income on
direct investment more than accounted for the increase.
Receipts of income on U.S. direct
investment abroad increased $3.7 billion to $8.4 billion. The depreciation

September 1985

of the dollar contributed to a $3.3 billion shift to capital gains of $0.8 billion. Over the past 2 years, fluctuations in capital gains and losses,
caused primarily by changes in the
exchange value of the dollar, have
been a major source of fluctuations in
direct investment income and in net
service receipts. Operating earnings
(that is, earnings before capital gains
and losses, shown in table 5 as line 4
less line 3) increased $0.5 billion to
$8.8 billion; increases in Western
Europe and Canada more than offset
decreases in Latin America and Australia. Interest payments increased
$0.1 billion to $1.1 billion, largely reflecting payments to Netherlands Antilles finance affiliates. Payments of
income on foreign direct investment
in the United States were unchanged
at $2.4 billion.
Receipts of income on other private
investment decreased $0.3 billion to
$12.6 billion. A decline in bank-reported receipts, due to lower interest
rates, was partly offset by increased
receipts from bonds, due to larger
holdings. Payments increased $0.1 billion to $8.9 billion, due to heavy foreign investment in U.S. corporate
bonds. Receipts on U.S. Government
assets decreased $0.2 billion to $1.1
billion; payments were unchanged at
$5.3 billion, as an increase in foreign
holdings of Treasury securities was
offset by lower rates.
Net travel payments increased $0.3
billion to $1.3 billion. After a surge of
visitors from overseas, especially
Japan, in the first quarter, receipts
fell $0.3 billion to $2.9 billion; receipts
from Canada and Mexico also fell.
Payments were unchanged at $4.2 billion: overseas travel remained strong,
significantly above last year's levels.
Payments were up slightly to Canada,
but down slightly to Mexico. Passenger fare receipts decreased slightly to
$0.8 billion, and payments increased
to $1.9 billion. Other transportation
receipts decreased slightly to $3.5 billion, and payments increased slightly
to $4.0 billion.
Transfers under U.S. military
agency sales contracts decreased $0.4
billion to $2.3 billion. Deliveries of
aircraft, ships, and vehicles under
several major programs have now
been completed and a significant increase in deliveries is not expected
until late 1986. Direct defense expenditures decreased $0.1 billion to $2.8
billion.

capital-asset ratios. Also, the concentration of credit demands in bond
markets and the recent development
of Euronote securities, which closely
substitute for syndicated bank lending
(see below), have reduced bank claims
(chart 5). These claims—on unaffiliated foreign banks and on other foreigners, respectively—decreased $3.9
billion and $1.9 billion, in the second
quarter. With the exception of increased claims on banks in the Caribbean and in Israel, reductions were
widespread and included large reductions on Canada, the United Kingdom, Italy, Japan, and Mexico. In contrast, claims on banks' own foreign offices increased for the third consecutive quarter; they were up $6.3 billion, compared with $1.7 billion in the
first quarter. The virtual disappearance of the differential between domestic and Eurodollar overnight rates
in the second quarter encouraged U.S.
banks to fund their own foreign offices, partly to meet those offices'
midyear seasonal demands; concurrently, a lag in the decline in the U.S.
prime rate contributed to a sharp increase in lending by foreign offices to
nonbank U.S. borrowers. U.S. banks'
domestic customers' claims decreased
$4.4 billion, mostly due to a sharp
drop in money market mutual funds'
holdings of Eurodollar deposits.
Net U.S. purchases of foreign securities decreased $0.6 billion to $1.9 billion; a sharp drop in net stock purchases was only partly offset by increased net bond purchases. Net stock
purchases were virtually zero, following a record $1.9 billion in the first
quarter. A moderate U.S. stock
market rally and sharply rising U.S.
bond prices, fueled by large decreases
in interest rates, shifted U.S. investors' interest to domestic markets.
U.S. investors may also have taken
profits following recent substantial
appreciation in the value of foreign
stocks and foreign currencies. Net
purchases of Canadian, British, and
Dutch stocks decreased, and there
was a shift to net sales of Japanese
stocks.
Placements of new bond issues
shifted to the U.S. market from the
Eurobond market: new foreign issues
in the United States increased $0.3
billion to $1.6 billion, as U.S. interest
rates decreased more than Eurobond
rates and as Eurobond dealers reduced their inventory of issues after

Net unilateral transfers increased
$0.2 billion to $3.4 billion. U.S. Government grants increased, largely due
to renewed payments to international
organizations' programs, which had
been negligible in the first quarter.
U.S. assets abroad
U.S. official reserve assets increased
$0.4 billion in the second quarter. Foreign currency holdings increased $0.2
billion, reflecting interest earnings on
foreign currency assets and acquisition of Argentine currency. The latter
was part of the U.S. portion of a
bridge loan to Argentina pending disbursement of a loan from the International Monetary Fund. Part of the
loan was used by Argentina to pay interest arrears to U.S. banks. Holdings
of special drawing rights also increased $0.2 billion.
U.S. claims on foreigners reported
by U.S. banks decreased $4.4 billion,
compared with virtually no change in
the first quarter. Claims on unaffiliated foreign banks and on other foreigners have decreased in recent
quarters, as only moderate economic

Second-quarter data on U.S. liabilities to unaffiliated foreigners reported by nonbanking concerns are unavailable. However, newly reported
first-quarter data indicate that these
liabilities decreased $2.7 billion. Most
of the decrease reflected continued repayment of borrowing to finance
large mergers and acquisitions during
1984.
The data on U.S. liabilities to unaffiliated foreigners now include U.S.
corporations' drawings in the Euronote market through Euronote facilities (ENF's), which are short- and
medium-term note issuance arrangements operated primarily by banks.
ENF's are standby agreements to
raise funds in the Euronote market,
with amounts, maturities, and interest rate spreads all prearranged. Once
established with a group of investment bankers, a corporation draws on
its ENF as needed by selling its notes
in the Euronote market, which is
similar to the U.S. commercial paper
market. However, ENF's frequently
include guarantees by bank consortia
to lend to the corporation if the notes
cannot be sold. ENF's originated in
late 1984 largely as a technique for
banks to arrange financing for their
customers "off the balance sheet" so

September 1985

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

that banks' capital-asset ratios would
not be affected. ENF's were not utilized by U.S. companies until 1985,
when a $1.0 billion facility was established in the first quarter and $5.0
billion in facilities were established in
the second. Although actual drawings
cannot be separately identified, it is
believed that the facility established
in the first quarter was fully drawn,
but that little or none of the facilities
established during the second quarter
was drawn.

stocks and appreciation of the pound.
Net Japanese transactions shifted
$0.4 billion to $0.2 billion in purchases. Purchases from the Caribbean, primarily the Netherlands Antilles and Bermuda, were up $0.2 billion
to $0.5 billion; steady purchases from
the Caribbean over the past six quarters contrast sharply with the selloff
from other regions.

Net foreign purchases of U.S. securities decreased to $7.1 billion from a
record $9.5 billion. A shift to net purchases of U.S. stocks was more than
offset by a drop in purchases of Eurobonds issued by U.S. corporations. A
four-quarter selloff of U.S. stocks
ended in the second quarter with a
$1.5 billion shift to $0.4 billion in net
purchases, possibly because of the
moderate stock market rally. Net
sales by Western Europeans fell by
two-thirds to $0.4 billion, the slowest
pace in five quarters. Net sales by
Switzerland, the Netherlands, Germany, and France decreased, but sales
by the United Kingdom increased because of continued strength in British




New bond issues sold abroad by
U.S. corporations were substantial—
$5.3 billion, although down from a
record $9.6 billion. Total bond financing by U.S. corporations was at a
record in the second quarter, but a
narrowing of the differential between
U.S. and Eurobond interest rates led
many U.S. borrowers to shift some financing to the domestic market. In
addition, record Eurobond placements
in the first quarter left dealers with
large unsold inventories. Much of the
second-quarter activity was corporate
refinancing to lock in lower long-term
rates and roll over short-term debt,
but some substituted for the marked
slowdown in international lending by
U.S. and foreign banks. U.S. banks
themselves were major borrowers
during the quarter, issuing $1.8 bil-

33

lion in floating-rate notes. Purchases
of other outstanding U.S. corporate
bonds increased $0.4 billion to $0.8
billion; purchases by Japanese institutional investors, who also accounted
for nearly all of the $0.6 billion in
purchases of U.S. agency bonds, were
heavy. Recent partial easing of restrictions on capital exports by Japan
has led to large net purchases of U.S.
domestic bonds and Eurobonds by
Japanese corporations and pension
funds seeking to diversify their assets
and obtain high returns on dollar-denominated bonds. Most of the balance
of purchases was accounted for by the
Netherlands, Belgium, and Hong
Kong.
Inflows for foreign direct investment in the United States were $4.9
billion, compared with $2.1 billion. Intercompany debt transactions shifted
from small outflows to inflows of $2.4
billion: payables increased sharply
due to large loans by two European
companies to their U.S. affiliates to
complete financial arrangements for
earlier purchases of U.S. companies.
Equity capital inflows fell to $1.7 billion from $2.1 billion. Reinvested
earnings increased $0.2 billion to $0.8
billion.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

September 1985

Footnotes to U.S. International Transactions Tables 1-10
General notes for all tables:
r

Revised.

" Preliminary.

*Less than $500,000 (±).
n.a. Not available.

Table 1-2:
1. Credits, +: exports of goods and services; unilateral transfers to United States; capital inflows (increase in foreign assets (U.S. liabilities) or decrease in U.S. assets); decrease in U.S. official reserve assets; increase in foreign official assets in the United States.
Debits, —: imports of goods and services, unilateral transfers to foreigners; capital outflows (decrease in foreign assets (U.S. liabilities) or increase in U.S. assets); increase in U.S. official reserve assets; decrease in foreign official assets in the United States.
2. Excludes transfers of goods and services under U.S. military grant programs (see line 14).
3. Excludes exports of goods under U.S. military agency sales contracts identified in Census
export documents, excludes imports of goods under direct defense expenditures identified in
Census import documents, and reflects various other adjustments (for valuation, coverage, and
timing) of Census statistics to balance of payments basis; see table 3.
4. For all areas, amounts outstanding June 30, 1985, were as follows in millions of dollars: line
34, 36,088; line 35, 11,090; line 36, 6,196; line 37, 11,394; line 38, 7,408.
5. Includes sales of foreign obligations to foreigners.
6. Consists of bills, certificates, marketable bonds and notes, and nonmarketable convertible
and nonconvertible bonds and notes.
7. Consists of U.S. Treasury and Export-Import Bank obligations, not included elsewhere, and
of debt securities of U.S. Government corporations and agencies.
8. Includes, primarily, U.S. Government liabilities associated with military agency sales contracts and other transactions arranged with or through foreign official agencies; see table 4.
9. Consists of investments in U.S. corporate stocks and in debt securities of private corporations
and State and local governments.
10. Conceptually, the sum of lines 67 and 62 is equal to "net foreign investment" in the national income and product accounts (NIPA's). However, the foreign transactions account in the
NIPA's (a) includes adjustments to the international transactions accounts for the treatment of
gold, (b) excludes capital gains and losses of foreign affiliates of U.S. parent companies from the
NIPA measure of income receipts from direct investment abroad, and from the corresponding
income payments, and (c) beginning with 1973-IV, excludes shipments and financing of military
orders placed by Israel under Public Law 93-199 and subsequent similar legislation. Line 65 differs from "net exports of goods and services" in the NIPA's for the same reasons with the exception of the military financing, which is excluded, and the additional exclusion of U.S. Government interest payments to foreigners. The latter payments, for NIPA purposes, are excluded from
"net exports of goods and services" but included with transfers in "net foreign investment." A
partial reconciliation table of the international accounts and the NIPA foreign transactions account appears in the "Reconciliation and other Special Tables" section in this issue of the SURVEY
OF CURRENT BUSINESS.

4. Line A35 includes foreign currency collected as interest and line A40 includes foreign currency collected as principal, as recorded in lines A13 and A14, respectively.
5. Includes (a) advance payments to the Department of Defense (on military sales contracts
financed by loans extended to foreigners by U.S. Government agencies and (b) the contraentry for
the part of lines CIO which was delivered without prepayment by the foreign purchaser. Also
includes expenditures of appropriations available to release foreign purchasers from liability to
make repayment.
6. Includes purchases of loans from U.S. banks and exporters and payments by the U.S. Government under commercial export credit and investment guarantee programs.
7. Excludes liabilities associated with military sales contracts financed by U.S. Government
grants and credits and included in line C2.

Table 3:
1. Exports, Census basis, represent transaction values, f.a.s. U.S. port of exportation; imports,
Census basis, represent Customs values (see Technical Notes, June 1982 SURVEY). The unadjusted
figures for exports and imports shown in lines Al, A10, Dl, and D60, are as published by the
Census Bureau, as are the seasonally adjusted figures in lines Al and A10. The seasonally adjusted figures in lines Dl and D60 are prepared by BEA and are the summation of seasonally adjusted 4<ligit end-use categories (see Technical Notes in the June 1980 SURVEY).
2. Adjustments in lines A5 and A14, B12, B46, and B80 reflect the Census Bureau's reconciliation of discrepancies between the merchandise trade statistics published by the United States and
the counterpart statistics published in Canada. These adjustments also have been distributed to
the affected end-use categories in section C.
3. Exports of military equipment under U.S. military agency sales contracts with foreign governments (line A6), and direct imports by the Department of Defense and the Coast Guard (line
A15), to the extent such trade is identifiable from Customs declarations. These exports are included in tables 1, 2, and 10, line 3 (transfers under U.S. military agency sales contracts); and the
imports are included in tables 1, 2, and 10, line 17 (direct defense expenditures).
4. Addition of electrical energy; deduction of exposed motion picture film for rental rather than
sale; 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 trom Census data.
5. Correction for discrepancy between sum of four quarters, seasonally adjusted, and unadjusted annual totals, plus the difference between Census published seasonally adjusted totals and the
summation of seasonally adjusted 4-digit end-use categories prepared by BEA.
6. Deduction of foreign charges for repair of U.S. vessels abroad, which are included in tables 1,
2, and 10, line 20 (other transportation); net timing adjustments for goods recorded in Census
data in one period but found to have been shipped in another; and coverage adjustments for special situations in which shipments were omitted from Census data.
7. Annual and unadjusted quarterly data shown in this table correspond to country and area
data in table 10, lines 2 and 16. Trade with international organizations includes purchases of nonmonetary gold from the IMF, transfers of tin to the International Tin Council (ITC), and sales of
satellites to Intelsat. The memoranda are defined as follows: Industrial countries: Western
Europe, Canada, Japan, and Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa; Members of OPEC: Venezuela, Ecuador, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Algeria, Libya, Nigeria, Gabon; Other countries: Eastern Europe, Latin American Republics, other
Western Hemisphere, and other countries in Asia and Africa, less OPEC. For all years, "Asia"
and "Africa" exclude certain Pacific Islands and unidentified countries included in "Other countries in Asia and Africa."
8. Includes nuclear fuel materials and fuels.

Table 7:
1. Primarily mortgages, loans, and bills and notes drawn on foreigners.
2. Consists of Western Europe, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.
3. Bahamas, British West Indies (Cayman Islands), Netherlands Antilles, and Panama.
4. Based on data for Ecuador, Venezuela, Indonesia, and other Asian and African oil-exporting
countries.

Table 4:
1. Expenditures to release foreign governments from their contractual liabilities to pay for defense articles and services purchased through military sales contracts—first authorized (for
Israel) under Public Law 93-199, section 4, and subsequently authorized (for many recipients)
under similar legislation—are included in line A3. Deliveries against these military sales contracts are included in line CIO; see footnote 2. Of the line A3 items, part of these military expenditures is applied in lines A40 and A43 to reduce short-term assets previously recorded in lines
A38 and C8; this application of funds is excluded from lines C3 and C4. A second part of line A3
expenditures finances future deliveries under military sales contracts for the recipient countries
and is applied directly to lines A39 and C9. A third part of line A3, disbursed directly to finance
purchases by recipient countries from commercial suppliers in the United States, is included in
line A34. A fourth part of line A3, representing dollars paid to the recipient countries to finance
purchases from countries other than the United States, is included in line A45.
2. Transactions under military sales contracts are those in which the Department of Defense
sells and transfers military goods and services to a foreign purchaser, on a cash or credit basis.
Purchases by foreigners directly from commercial suppliers are not included as transactions
under military sales contracts. The entries for the several categories of transactions related to
military sales contracts in this and other tables are partly estimated from incomplete data.
3. The identification of transactions involving direct dollar outflows from the United States is
made in reports by each operating agency. Data for the most recent quarters are extrapolated
estimates by BEA because of incomplete reports from two operating agencies.




Table 5:
1. Also included in line 4.
2. Acquisition of equity holdings in existing and newly established companies, capital contributions, capitalization of intercompany accounts, and other equity contributions.
3. Sales, liquidations, and other dispositions of equity holdings, total and partial.

3. Estimate for scheduled redemptions and identifiable early retirements. Includes estimates
based on Canadian statistics for redemptions of Canadian issues held in the United States. Unidentified and nonscheduled retirements appear in line 29.
4. Issues through finance affiliates established primarily to borrow capital from abroad. Issues
are almost always guaranteed by the establishing U.S. parent and are often convertible into the
parents' securities. To the extent proceeds are transferred from offshore affiliates to U.S. parents—the common practice—they are recorded as direct investment transactions in table 5, line
8.

1. Includes central governments and their agencies and corporations; state, provincial, and
local governments and their agencies and corporations; and international and regional organizations.

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

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

economy are clearly marked so that the leading, coincident,
and lagging characteristics of the series are easy to
observe.

• Composite index methodology explaining the construction of the indexes in step-by-step detail.
• Reference materials including—
Scores for cyclical indicators
Average leads or lags for cyclical indicators

• Tables listing current data for all 300 series.
