the BUSINESS SITUATION
IT ROFITS from current production—
profits before tax (PBT) with inventory valuation adjustment (IVA) and
capital
consumption
adjustment
(CCAdj)—increased $3 billion in the
second quarter, following a $13 billion
increase in the first.1 Domestic profits
of nonfinancial corporations increased
$2Vfc billion after a $9 billion increase,
domestic profits of financial corporations were flat after a $1 billion increase, and profits from the rest of
the world were up $Vz billion after a
$3 billion increase.
PBT increased $11% billion in the
second quarter after an increase of $9
billion in the first. The much smaller
increase in profits from current production than in PBT was due to the
IVA, which declined $8Vfe billion. The
IVA, like the CCAdj (which changed
little in the second quarter), is reflected in the current production measure
but not in PBT. The IVA converts the
value of inventory withdrawals from
the predominantly historical costs
that underlie PBT to current replacement costs. When current replacement costs of inventory withdrawals
are higher than costs that underlie
PBT, the IVA is negative in order to
remove the resulting capital-gainslike element from profits.
Profits by industry.—PBT with IVA
and CCAdj is not available by industry; PBT with IVA alone, the best
measure of industry profits available,
increased $3 billion in the second
quarter after a $6Vfe billion increase
in the first.
In nonfinancial corporations, profits
of petroleum refiners increased $10 V2
billion (to $12 ¥2 billion), more than
1. Quarterly estimates in the national income and
product accounts are expressed at seasonally adjusted
annual rates, and quarterly changes in them are differences between these rates. Quarter-to-quarter percent changes are compounded to annual rates. Real,
or constant-dollar, estimates are expressed in 1982 dollars.




accounting for the increase in manufacturing profits. The increase in
manufacturing profits, however, was
more than offset by a decline of $11
billion (to $45 billion) in trade profits.
Over the past four quarters, movements in petroleum and trade profits
have been large, choppy, and more or
less offsetting. In each of these quarters, petroleum registered the largest
change of any manufacturing industry, and trade, the largest of any nonmanufacturing industry. For both industries, an increase in one quarter
was followed by a decline in the next,
and a decline in one quarter, by an
increase in the next. In each of the
last four quarters, the large changes
in petroleum and trade profits have
been in opposite directions.
The choppiness in trade profits mirrors changes in the sales of wholesale
and retail trade firms. The choppiness
in petroleum profits is not susceptible
to brief explanation because of the
complex structure of the industry; the
same economic developments affect
disparate segments of the industry
differently. For example, other things
equal, a substantial increase in crude
oil prices such as occurred this year
squeezes the profits of refiners. In
contrast, for integrated firms the
effect on profits from extraction
would offset the effect on profits from
refining; however, if the extraction
occurs overseas, profits from the rest
of the world would increase, not prof-

its in the domestic petroleum industry. A further complication arises because integrated firms typically sell
some crude to nonaffiliated refiners
while purchasing some from nonaffiliated producers; a change in the relationship between crude and product
prices, if it affected the amounts sold
and purchased, would affect profits.
In financial corporations, profits
changed little. Major banks made
very large additions to loss reserves
in the second quarter in connection
with their outstanding foreign loans.
Profits in the national income and
product accounts (NIPA's), however,
are not affected until loans are actually charged against reserves by the
banks.

Federal Budget Developments
Revised estimates of Federal unified budget receipts and outlays for
fiscal years 1987 and 1988 were submitted to Congress by the Office of
Management and Budget in midAugust. The revised deficit for 1987 is
$158.4 billion, and for 1988, $123.3 billion. Both are higher than the targets
specified in the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Act (formally, the Balanced
Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985).
In February 1986, the administration submitted a fiscal year 1987
budget with a deficit slightly under
the $144.0 billion target for that year.

abatement plant and equipment expenditures estimates for 1986 will be

more information.

September 1987

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
Both the Congress' June 1986 concurrent resolution on the 1987 budget
and the administration's August 1986
mid-session review contained estimates under $144.0 billion. In January 1987, the administration's 1988
budget submission contained an estimate of $173.2 billion for the 1987 deficit—$29.2 billion more than the
target. Stronger-than-expected tax collections in the spring of 1987 helped
to bring the estimate in the August
1987 mid-session review considerably
closer to the target.
The administration's January 1987
budget estimate for the fiscal year
1988 deficit was just under the
Gramm-Rudman-Hollings $123.3 billion target, and the June 1987 concurrent resolution on the 1988 budget
met the target by continuing to use
the administration's January economic assumptions. The new mid-session
review estimates, however, exceed the
1988 target by $15.3 billion. Congress
has not yet passed a revised budget
resolution, but during debates in
August concerning a debt ceiling extension, the Senate approved a revised target of $150.0 billion and
House conferees on the bill offered a
target of $144.0 billion. As of mid-September, Congress was debating
changes to the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Act to strengthen the enforcement mechanisms and raise the
target deficits.
The mid-session review
The new estimates of unified
budget receipts and outlays for fiscal
years 1987 and 1988 reflect revised
economic assumptions, legislation enacted by Congress this year, policy
changes, and reestimates of tax collections and agency spending based
largely on experience since the January 1987 budget. (See the February
1987

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

for a discussion of the January
budget.)
Two pieces of legislation enacted
since January had a substantial
impact on the budget estimates. In
April, Congress overrode a presidential veto to enact the Surface Transportation and Uniform Relocation Assistance Act of 1987; the act provided
for more spending from the highway
trust fund than the administration
had requested. In July, the 1987 Supplemental Appropriations Act appropriated more for several programs
than the administration requested.




ceipts are $16.1 billion higher; an
upward revision of $21.9 billion due to
reestimates—including reestimates of
the impact of the Tax Reform Act of
1986 (see the next section)—is partly
offset by a downward revision of $6.4
billion due to revised economic assumptions. Among the major categories of receipts, there are large, partly
offsetting revisions in the two income
tax components. Individual income
taxes are revised up $28.8 billion to
$392.8 billion, and corporate income
taxes are revised down $15.2 billion to
$89.6 billion.
Outlays in 1987 are $1.3 billion
higher; upward revisions of $3.5 billion due to policy changes and $0.9
billion due to economic assumptions
are partly offset by a downward revision of $3.1 billion due to reestimates.
On a program-by-program basis, the
revision is the net of $11.0 billion in
upward revisions and $9.7 billion in
downward revisions. The largest
upward revision is for net interest
($2.1 billion), reflecting a different

On the basis of the revised economic assumptions, real GNP increases
one-half a percentage point less in
calendar year 1987 than expected earlier this year, but at the same rate—
3.2 percent—from the fourth quarter
of 1986 to the fourth quarter of 1987
as expected earlier (table 1). From the
fourth quarter of 1987 to the fourth
quarter of 1988, real GNP increases
3.5 percent, slightly less than expected earlier. In both years, personal
income is higher than expected earlier and corporate profits before taxes
are lower. Reflecting higher-than-expected inflation during the first half
of 1987, consumer prices rise more
than expected earlier; the interest
rate on 10-year Treasury notes is also
higher. The unemployment rate, reflecting the recent larger-than-expected drop, is lower than expected earlier.

1987, a $158.4 billion deficit is estimated, compared with $173.2 billion
estimated in January (table 2). Re-

mix of borrowing than had been expected earlier and higher interest
rates. The other major upward revisions are $1.3 billion for Federal
Housing Administration mortgage insurance, $1.1 billion for medicare, $1.0
billion for medicaid, and $1.0 billion
for the foreign military sales trust
fund. The largest downward revisions
are $3.3 billion for the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and
$2.1 billion for the Commodity Credit
Corporation (CCC). The revision for
the FDIC is due to lower cash outlays

per bank closing; the revision for the
CCC is due to changes in the supply
and demand estimates for crops.
For fiscal year 1988, a $123.3 billion
deficit is estimated, compared with
$107.8 billion estimated in January.
Receipts are $7.6 billion lower; a
downward revision of $9.4 billion due
to revised economic assumptions is
partly offset by a $2.0 billion upward
revision due to reestimates. Among
the major categories of receipts, the
largest revisions are an $11.8 billion
reduction in corporate income taxes

and a $3.3 billion increase in individual income taxes.
Outlays in 1988 are $8.0 billion
higher; upward revisions of $4.3 billion due to policy changes and $5.7
billion due to revised economic assumptions are partly offset by a $1.8
billion downward revision due to reestimates. On a program-by-program
basis, the revision in outlays is the
net of $17.3 billion in upward revisions and $9.3 billion in downward revisions. The largest upward revision
is for net interest ($5.7 billion), most
of which is attributable to higher interest rates. Other upward revisions
include $1.5 billion for medicaid, reflecting higher actual and estimated
State benefits, and $1.1 billion for
Social Security, reflecting the effect of
the revised assumption about consumer prices on the January 1988
cost-of-living increase (a 4.2-percent
instead of a 3.5-percent increase). The
largest downward revision is for the
CCC ($5.3 billion), attributable to
changes in the supply and demand estimates for crops. Lower unemployment rates reduce unemployment insurance benefits by $1.1 billion, and
lower cash outlays per bank closing
reduce FDIC outlays by $1.1 billion.
Revised NIPA estimates.—BE A has
prepared estimates of the Federal
sector on the national income and
product account (NIPA) basis consistent with the revised unified budget
estimates (table 2, and table 3 for the
quarterly pattern). On this basis,
fiscal year 1987 receipts are $24.8 billion higher than estimated in January, expenditures are $0.9 billion
higher, and the deficit is $23.9 billion
lower.
The upward revision in receipts is
more than accounted for by an
upward revision of $29.3 billion in
personal tax and nontax receipts;
$16.3 billion of this revision is attributable to nonwithheld income tax
payments, $11.0 billion to withheld
income tax, and $1.9 billion to estate
and gift taxes and personal nontaxes.
The most important factor in the revision to nonwithheld taxes is higherthan-expected payments in 1987 by
taxpayers who had realized capital
gains in 1986 in order to benefit from
preferential treatment of that income;
under a provision of the Tax Reform
Act of 1986, capital gains realized
after 1986 will be taxed as ordinary
income. Partly offsetting the upward
revisions is a downward revision of

$5.1 billion in corporate profits tax accruals, largely due to lower corporate
profits.
The revision in expenditures is the
net of $11.3 billion in upward revisions and $10.4 billion in downward
revisions (including a revision to wage
accruals less disbursements, a category that is subtracted in deriving total
expenditures). The largest upward revision is for subsidies less the current
surplus of government enterprises
($3.9 billion), reflecting higher estimates for agricultural subsidies and
for the CCC deficit. The other large
upward revisions are for transfer payments to persons ($3.0 billion), net interest ($2.2 billion), and grants-in-aid
to State and local governments ($2.1
billion). The revision in transfer payments to persons reflects higher medicare benefits, and the revision in
grants-in-aid reflects higher grants for
medicaid, education, and several
other programs. The largest downward revision—$8.8 billion—is in nondefense purchases and reflects lower
net purchases of agricultural commodities by the CCC.
For fiscal year 1988, receipts are
$8.2 billion lower than estimated in
January, expenditures are $9.7 billion
higher, and the deficit is $17.9 billion
higher. The downward revision in receipts is more than accounted for by a
$14.0 billion downward revision in
corporate profits taxes, largely attributable to lower corporate profits. An
upward revision in personal tax and

partly offset by a $7.6 billion downward revision in withheld income tax.
The most important factor in the revision to nonwithheld income tax is
higher-than-expected payments in
1987 by taxpayers who had realized
capital gains in 1986 in order to benefit from preferential treatment of that
income; under this act, capital gains

realized after 1986 will be taxed as ordinary income. Corporate profits tax
accruals are revised down $1.3 billion
in 1987, down $2.4 billion in 1988, and
up $0.2 billion in 1989. The estimates
of the impact on indirect business tax
and nontax accruals and on contributions for social insurance are not revised.

Second-quarter NIPA revisions
The second revisions of the NIPA
estimates for the second quarter of
1987 are shown in table 8, on page 19.

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

Ratio of inventories to final sales

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

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

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

By EUGENE P. SESKIN and DAVID F. SULLIVAN

Plant and Equipment Expenditures,
the Four Quarters of 1987
BUSINESS plans to spend $389.1
billion for new plant and equipment
(P&E) in 1987, 2.5 percent more than
in 1986, according to the BEA survey
conducted in July and 1August (tables
1 and 2, and chart I). Spending was
$379.5 billion in 1986, 2.0 percent less
than in 1985.
The latest estimate of planned
spending for 1987 is $1.8 billion lower
than that reported in June for the
survey conducted in April and May. A
0.9-percent downward revision in nonmanufacturing industries more than
offsets a 0.3-percent upward revision
in manufacturing industries. The previous survey showed planned spending of $390.9 billion for2 1987, 3.1 percent more than in 1986.
Real spending—capital spending adjusted to remove price changes—is estimated to increase 1.4 percent in
1987. Real spending declined 2.6 percent in 1986, following an increase of

9.6 percent in 1985 (tables 2 and 3).
Estimates of real spending are calculated from survey data on currentdollar spending and from estimated
capital goods price deflators developed
by BEA.3 The capital goods deflator
for "all industries" is projected by
BEA to increase 1.1 percent in 1987,
following a 0.6-percent increase in
1986; the deflator declined 0.4 percent
in 1985.

The estimates in this article reflect revised seasonal-adjustment factors from
1984 to date. In addition, estimates of
real spending reflect revised P&E implicit price deflators from 1973 to date.
The usual discussion of survey results
is followed by a brief technical note describing the revision of the estimates of
real P&E spending. This, in turn, is followed by a special analysis that examines trends in real capital spending
during the current economic expansion.

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

NOTE.—Felicia V. Candela, with assistance
from Scott D. Smith, developed the revised estimates of real P&E spending under the supervision of John H. Gates. David F. Sullivan, with
assistance from Sharon P. Montgomery, carried
out the research on trends in real capital
spending under the supervision of Robert E.
Yuskavage.

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

Planned
1987

1. The survey covers expenditures for new facilities
and for repair, expansion, or replacement of existing
facilities that are chargeable to fixed asset accounts
and for which depreciation or amortization accounts
are ordinarily maintained. The survey excludes expenditures for land and mineral rights; maintenance
and repair that are not capitalized; used plant and
equipment, including that purchased or acquired
through mergers or acquisitions; assets located in foreign countries; residential structures; and a few other
items.
The estimates presented are universe totals of domestic P&E expenditures for all industries surveyed
quarterly, which account for nearly 90 percent of capital spending by U.S. nonfarm business. Sample data
are compiled from reports on a company basis, not
from separate reports for plants or establishments. A
company's capital expenditures are assigned to a
single industry in accordance with the industry classification of the company's principal product or service.
P&E expenditures differ from nonresidential fixed
investment, which is a component of GNP, in type of
detail, data sources, coverage, and timing. For further
information, see pages 24-25 of the February 1985
SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS.

2. The estimates of planned spending have been adjusted for systematic reporting biases. The bias adjustments are calculated by industry for each planning
horizon. For a given time period, the bias-adjustment
factor is the median of the ratios of planned to actual
expenditures for that time period in the preceding 8
years. Before adjustments, 1987 planned spending was
$388.29 billion for "all industries," $150.16 billion for
manufacturing, and $238.13 billion for nonmanufacturing industries surveyed quarterly.

1. Estimates reflect revised seasonal-adjustment factors for 1984-87. Revised annual estimates
for 1986 are calculated from quarterly estimates unadjusted for seasonal variations. The previously reported annual estimates for 1986 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 1987. 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 1987 were $388.29 billion for "all industries," $150.16
billion for manufacturing, and $238.13 billion for nonmanufacturing industries surveyed quarterly3. Surveyed quarterly.
4. Includes industries not shown separately.
5. Consists of lumber, furniture, instruments, and miscellaneous.
6. Consists of tobacco, apparel, printing-publishing, and leather.




7. Includes construction.
8. The latest estimates for the industries surveyed annually were published in the June 1987
SURVEY. The current-dollar plans for 1987 were $441.61 billion for total nonfarm business, $296.74
billion for total nonmanufacturing, and $50.81 billion for nonmanufacturing industries surveyed
annually. The constant-dollar plans for 1987 were $432.51 billion for total nonfarm business,
$287.34 billion for total nonmanufacturing, and $51.50 billion for nonmanufacturing industries
surveyed annually.
9. "All industries" plus the part of nonmanufacturing that is surveyed annually.
10. Consists of real estate; professional services; membership organizations and social services;
and forestry, fisheries, and agricultural services.
11. Procedures for preparing constant-dollar estimates are described in the February 1985
SURVEY. Estimates reflect revised current-dollar estimates (footnote 1) and revised implicit price
deflators (see technical note). To estimate real spending plans, BEA adjusts the survey results for
assumed price changes.

percent decline in the first. A 2.6-percent increase in second-quarter spending by nondurable goods industries
offsets a 2.4-percent decline by durables. Manufacturers plan a 6.9-percent increase in the third quarter and
a 2.1-percent increase in the fourth.
For the year 1987, manufacturers
plan to spend $146.4 billion, 2.6 percent more than in 1986; in the previous survey, a planned increase of 2.2
percent was reported. Manufacturers'
spending declined 7.0 percent in 1986,
following a 10.6-percent increase in
1985.
Durable goods industries plan a 3.0percent increase for 1987; the largest
planned increase is in blast furnacessteel works. Increases are also
planned in electrical machinery, nonferrous metals, "other durables," and
stone-clay-glass. Declines are planned
in motor vehicles, machinery (except
electrical), and fabricated metals.
Nondurable goods industries plan a
2.2-percent increase. Planned increases in textiles, "other nondurables," food-beverage, and paper more
than offset planned declines in
rubber, petroleum, and chemicals.
Real spending by manufacturers is
estimated to increase 1.4 percent in
1987—2.0 percent in durables and 0.9
percent in nondurables. In 1986, real
spending declined 7.8 percent—5.4
percent in durables and 9.8 percent in
nondurables.

The latest estimate of the real
spending increase for 1987 is smaller
than the 2.8-percent increase indicated in the previous survey not only because of the smaller current-dollar increase in the latest survey, but also
because of revisions in P&E implicit
price deflators. If restated to reflect
the revised deflators, the previously
reported increase for 1987 would have
been 1.9 percent. (See the technical
note.)
Current-dollar spending in the
second quarter of 1987 increased 0.9
percent, to an annual rate of $377.7
billion, following a 3.1-percent decline
in the first; second-quarter spending
was 3.7 percent lower than anticipated in the previous survey. Plans reported in the latest survey indicate a
5.4-percent increase in the third quarter and a 2.1-percent increase in the
fourth.
Real spending increased 0.7 percent
in the second quarter of 1987, following a 3.2-percent decline in the first.

rate of $140.8 billion, following a 2.4- Nonmanufacturing industries plan a

For the year 1987, nonmanufacturing industries plan to spend $242.7
billion, 2.5 percent more than in 1986;
in the previous survey, a planned increase of 3.6 percent was reported.
Downward revisions in electric utilities, gas utilities, "commercial and
other," "other transportation," and
air transportation more than offset
upward revisions in railroads and
mining. Nonmanufacturing industries' spending increased 1.3 percent
in 1986, following an 8.4-percent increase in 1985. For 1987, planned increases in "other transportation," air
transportation,
"commercial and
other," and gas utilities more than
offset planned declines in electric utilities, railroads, and mining.
Real spending by nonmanufacturing industries is estimated to increase
1.5 percent in 1987; it increased 1.0
percent in 1986. For 1987, estimated
increases in "commercial and other"
and transportation more than offset
estimated declines in public utilities
and mining.

Technical Note
P&E expenditures estimates have
been revised to incorporate new seasonal-adjustment factors from 1984 to
date and new P&E implicit price deflators (henceforth, deflators) from
1973 to date. The revised deflators, in
turn, reflect (1) revised coefficients
used to transform nonresidential
fixed investment (NRFI) estimates to
a P&E basis and (2) recently revised
estimates of current- and constantdollar NRFI. Table 4 indicates the

sources of revision in real spending
for 1986 for "all industries/' manufacturing, and nonmanufacturing.
The revised transformation coefficients are based on 1977 capital flow
tables, which show use of structures
and equipment by industry (see pages
26-35 of the November 1985 SURVEY),
and tabulations from the 1977 Census
Bureau Enterprise Statistics; they
affect the distribution of real spending across industries from 1973 to
date, but not the levels of "all industries" spending. The revised NRFI estimates are based on the revision of
the NIPA's released in July 1987;
they affect the distribution of real
spending across industries as well as
the levels of "all industries" spending
from 1984 to date.
The revised deflators have resulted
in substantial revisions for some industries. Among the most widespread
revisions are those associated with
changes in the transformation coefficients relating to industry computer
usage and with revisions in the NRFI
estimates relating to computers.
An industry for which the transformation coefficients relating to computer usage increased would, ceteris
paribus, have a larger proportion of
P&E spending accounted for by computers. As a result, real spending for
the industry would be revised up for
recent years because the revised P&p
deflator would reflect the increased
weight being given to the relatively
low NRFI deflator for computers. This
effect is apparent in the 1986 revised
estimates for the nonferrous metals,
machinery (except electrical), printing-publishing, wholesale and retail
trade, and paper industries.
At the same time, real spending for
industries that purchased computers
in recent years would, ceteris paribus,
be revised up due to the downward revision of the NRFI deflator for computers in July 1987 (see page 15 of the
July 1987 SURVEY). This effect is sig-




nificant in the 1986 revised estimates
for the finance and insurance, machinery (except electrical), printingpublishing, aircraft, instruments, electrical machinery, apparel, nonferrous
metals, and wholesale and retail
trade industries.

annual constant-dollar estimates from

Trends in Real Capital
Spending During the Current
Economic Expansion
The current economic expansion is
one of the longest in U.S. post-World
War II history; real GNP has increased continuously for almost 5
years. Real nonresidential fixed investment (NRFI), a component of
GNP, troughed in the first quarter of
1983 (two quarters later than GNP),
increased at a faster rate than GNP
in 1984 and 1985, and declined in
1986. For 1987, it appears likely that
NRFI will show little change, possibly
a slight decline. Real plant and equipment (P&E) expenditures, as estimated from the BEA quarterly P&E
survey, follows a broadly similar
course. P&E expenditures also
troughed in the first quarter of 1983,
increased at a faster rate than GNP
in 1984 and 1985, and declined in
1986. For 1987, the latest survey results, including plans for the second
half of the year, indicate a slight increase (chart 2).
The P&E expenditures measure of
investment can be used to identify
and analyze changes in industry investment patterns.4 An industry focus
is useful because many of the factors
that influenced investment during the
current economic expansion probably
had differential industry effects. For
example, excess production capacity
had a greater effect on investment in
some industries—such as public utilities—than in others. The wave of
mergers and acquisitions, the introduction of new technology, the con4. NRFI, in contrast, provides estimates of investment by type of structure and by type of producers'
durable equipment. NRFI also differs from P&E expenditures in data sources, coverage, and timing. For
further information, see pages 24-25 of the February
1985 SURVEY.

tinuing shift toward services and
away from manufactured goods,
changes in U.S. tax laws that affected
investment incentives, high real longterm interest rates, and sharply increased foreign competition were
other such factors. This section describes industry trends in actual real
capital spending for 1983-86 and concludes with an update for 1987 at a
more aggregate level.
1983-86.—Real capital spending increased rapidly from 1983 to 1985 in
both manufacturing and nonmanufacturing; in 1986, it declined in manufacturing but increased slightly in
nonmanufacturing (chart 2). Over the
entire period 1983-86, there was little
overall change in the importance of
manufacturing investment relative to
nonmanufacturing investment. From
1983 to 1985, manufacturing rose as a
percentage of spending by "all industries"; it then declined in 1986, to
slightly below its 1983 percentage
(table 5).
In manufacturing, durable goods industries made larger contributions to
the increases in real capital spending
in 1984 and 1985 than did nondurable
goods, while in 1986, nondurable
goods contributed about twice as
much to the decline. From 1983 to
1985, durables increased as a percentage of spending by "all industries"; it
then declined in 1986 (chart 3). From

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

24
1983 to 1985, nondurables changed
little as a percentage of spending by
"all industries"; it then declined
sharply in 1986.
In durables, the industry with the
largest increase as a percentage of
spending by "all industries" in both
1984 and 1985 was motor vehicles, an
industry that was making major efforts to modernize during the expansion. Electrical machinery also
showed a sizable increase in 1984,
when the industry was attempting to
expand capacity to meet increasing
sales and to develop new products. In
1986, the largest decline in durables
was in machinery (except electrical);
1986 was a year of weak demand for
farm machinery, machine tools, and
computers due to sluggish economic
growth and increased foreign competition.
In nondurables, 1984 spending as a
percentage of spending by "all industries" changed little, due to several
small, offsetting changes in its component industries. In 1985, increases in
several industries were nearly offset
by a decline in petroleum, again resulting in little net change in nondurables. In 1986, increases in "other
nondurables," paper, chemicals, and
food-beverage were more than offset
by a sharp decline in petroleum. The
decline in petroleum was related to

the weakness in crude petroleum
prices and was widespread among the
industry's production, refining and
petrochemicals, "other," and transportation functions. This decline accounted for most of the decline in
manufacturing spending in 1986;
spending by manufacturing industries

other than petroleum declined only
1.7 percent in 1986.
In nonmanufacturing, "commercial
and other" made the largest contribution to the 3 consecutive years of increases in real capital spending. From
1983 to 1986, it increased rather
steadily as a percentage of spending
by "all industries." Within "commercial and other," two industry
groups—finance and insurance, and
wholesale and retail trade—stand out
as having consistently made significant contributions to the growth in
spending. In the past several years,
these industry groups have increased
their use of computers and other information processing equipment to
automate their operations. The two
other industry groups within "commercial and other" for the most part
contributed less strongly. As a percentage of spending by "all industries," personal and business services
(including construction) declined in
1984 and 1985 and was little changed
in 1986; communication declined in
1984, then increased in 1985 and 1986,
so that by 1986 it was slightly above
its 1983 percentage.
Real capital spending patterns in
the three other industry groups in
nonmanufacturing differed markedly
from that in "commercial and other"
during this period. As a percentage of

declined after 1984 and by 1986 was
considerably lower than in 1983. The
1986 decline was especially sharp and
was related to the weakness in crude
petroleum prices. Transportation
changed little as a percentage of
spending by "all industries" over the
period. Public utilities declined steadily as a percentage of spending by "all

of many projects before 1984 and lessthan-anticipated growth in demand,
particularly for electric utilities.

In nonmanufacturing, estimates indicate another increase in "commercial and other" as a percentage of

By ELLEN M. HERR

Capital Expenditures by Majority-Owned
Foreign Affiliates of U.S. Companies, 1987 and 1988
M A J O R I T Y - O W N E D foreign affiliates of U.S. companies plan to decrease capital expenditures 1 percent,
to $33.4 billion, in 1988, following a
planned 3-percent increase in 1987
(table 1, chart 4).1 For the years 198387, total spending has been relatively
flat; increases in spending by manufacturing affiliates offset decreases by
petroleum affiliates. In 1988, in contrast, spending is expected to increase
in petroleum and decrease in manufacturing—by 6 percent and 2 percent, respectively. The increase in petroleum may reflect expectations that
the rise in oil prices, which began in
the spring of this year, will be maintained.
The spending estimates for the
years 1985-88 have been affected by
dollar depreciation. Depreciation of
the dollar boosts actual and planned
capital spending by raising the dollar
value of a given amount of expenditures denominated in foreign currencies. This effect may be offset, however, to the extent that depreciation improves U.S. competitiveness and shifts
expenditures from abroad to the
United States.

Actual spending for 1986 and
planned spending for 1987 are both 5
percent below levels reported 6
months earlier (table 2). The most
recent estimates for both years are
based on a survey conducted in June;
the earlier estimates are based on a
survey taken in December 1986. In
the most recent survey, the downward
revisions in both years were predominately in petroleum. In terms of yearto-year changes in total spending, the

December 1986 survey showed a 2-percent decrease for 1986, whereas the
most recent survey shows a 7-percent
decrease. Although the most recent
plans for 1987 were revised down, the
planned increase in spending—3 percent—shows no change because of the
downward revision in 1986 spending.
By area, affiliates in developed
countries plan a 1-percent decrease in
spending, to $25.7 billion, in 1988, following a 4-percent increase in 1987.

NOTE.—Smith W. Allnutt designed the computer programs used in generating the estimates.

1. Capital expenditures 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 also 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.

equipment and primary and fabricated metals.
Large decreases in 1988 are
planned by affiliates in food products
and in "other manufacturing." The
14-percent decrease in food products,
to $1.3 billion, follows a 16-percent increase and largely reflects the completion of plant construction projects
in 1987. In "other manufacturing/'
the 9-percent decrease, to $2.9 billion,
follows a 15-percent increase and
largely reflects expenditures by manufacturers in the paper and plastic
products industries. In chemicals, primary and fabricated metals, and electrical equipment, affiliates plan small
spending decreases. If realized, the 2percent decrease in chemicals, to $3.2
billion, will be the first year-to-year
decrease in that industry since 1983.
It largely reflects the completion of
plant expansion projects in 1987.
Partly offsetting these decreases
are increases planned by affiliates in
nonelectrical machinery and transportation equipment. Affiliates in
nonelectrical machinery plan to increase spending 5 percent, to $3.2 billion, following a similar increase in
1987. The increases largely reflect expenditures by a few manufacturers of
agricultural equipment to consolidate
production and improve cost efficiency. Despite excess capacity and slumping sales in the agricultural machinery industry, these manufacturers
hope to lower their costs and sales
prices enough to increase their
market shares. The increases in nonelectrical machinery also reflect expenditures by computer manufacturers for facilities to produce improved
or diversified product lines in an
effort to maintain their market
shares in the highly competitive computer market.
Affiliates in transportation equipment plan to increase spending 4 percent, to $4.3 billion, following a 1-percent increase. The increases in both
years are much smaller than the 26percent increase in 1986, partly due
to the completion of plant expansion
and modernization projects in that
year. The level of spending planned in
1988 is the highest since 1981 and
largely reflects expenditures (such as
those for automated assembly systems
and the introduction of new car
models) undertaken in an effort to
meet strong worldwide competition.
Increased competition for global
market share has stemmed from the
expansion by foreign producers, especially the Japanese, into new markets
and the entrance of newly industrial


ized countries, such as Korea, into the
export business.
By area, manufacturing affiliates in
developed countries plan to decrease
spending 1 percent, to $14.4 billion,
following a 6-percent increase. Affiliates in the Netherlands, France, and
Australia plan large decreases after
sizable increases in 1987. In the Netherlands, affiliates plan to decrease
spending 15 percent, to $0.6 billion,
following a 14-percent increase. The
increase in 1987 and subsequent decrease are mostly in "other manufacturing." They reflect expenditures for
plant expansion in 1987 by an affiliate that manufactures plastic products. French affiliates plan a 7-percent decrease, to $1.3 billion, in 1988,
following a 10-percent increase. The
changes are mostly in chemicals and
reflect the completion of a new plant
in 1987. In Australia, affiliates plan a
21-percent decrease, to $0.6 billion,
following a 20-percent increase in
1987. The changes are largely in
transportation equipment; they reflect expenditures in 1987 for a facility to manufacture a new car model.
Large spending increases in 1988
are planned by affiliates in Japan and
Spain. In Japan, affiliates plan a 21percent increase, to $0.8 billion, following an 8-percent decrease. The increase, centered in nonelectrical machinery, mainly reflects expenditures
for facilities to manufacture computers. Spanish affiliates plan large increases in both years—28 percent, to
$0.6 billion, in 1988, following a 45percent increase. The increases are
largely in transportation equipment
and reflect expenditures by one affiliate for facilities to manufacture a
new engine and by another for facilities to manufacture a line of small
automobiles.
Affiliates in the United Kingdom,
Germany, and Canada also plan to increase spending in 1988. In the
United Kingdom, a 2-percent increase, to $2.5 billion, follows an 11percent increase. The 1988 increase
largely reflects spending by a transportation equipment affiliate for facilities to manufacture engines and
transmissions. German affiliates plan
a 4-percent increase, to $2.7 billion,
following a 7-percent decrease. The increase is mostly in chemicals and
nonelectrical machinery. In Canada,
affiliates plan to increase spending 1
percent, to $3.4 billion, following a 1percent decrease. The increase, which
is in transportation equipment, reflects an affiliate's expenditures for

plant conversions to produce new car
models.
In developing countries, affiliates
plan a 5-percent decrease, to $2.7 billion, following a 7-percent increase.
Decreases are widespread by area but
are largely in Brazil, Argentina, and
Venezuela. In Brazil, affiliates plan to
decrease spending 2 percent, to $1.1
billion, following a 17-percent increase; small increases in chemicals
and transportation equipment are
more than offset by small decreases
in all other manufacturing industries.
Mexican affiliates plan a 2-percent
decrease, to $0.6 billion, following a 7percent decrease. In 1988, affiliates in
all manufacturing industries except
chemicals and transportation equipment plan decreases. In 1987, the decrease is concentrated in transportation equipment. It partly reflects the
completion of projects—the construction of a new plant and the expansion
of another—in 1986. In both years, decreases may also reflect the devaluation of the peso relative to the
dollar, which lowered the cost, in
dollar terms, of a given amount of
capital investment in Mexico.
Other industries
Affiliates in all other industries
combined plan a 7-percent spending
decrease to $6.4 billion, in 1988, following a 3-percent increase.
Affiliates in wholesale trade plan to
decrease spending 7 percent, to $2.6
billion, following an 8-percent increase. The 1988 decrease is centered
in Canada. It reflects decreased expenditures by an automobile wholesaler for a new building that is nearing completion. The 1987 increase is
largely in Switzerland, Japan, and
Germany. In Switzerland, the increase mainly reflects the 1987 purchase of shipping vessels by a grain
wholesaler.
Spending by affiliates in finance
(except banking), insurance, and real
estate is expected to decrease 8 percent, to $0.4 billion, following a 5-percent decrease. The 1988 decrease is
mostly in the United Kingdom and reflects the completion of building modernization projects in 1987.
Affiliates in services plan a 4-percent decrease, to $1.3 billion, following a 1-percent increase. The decreases are largest in Australia and
France.
Affiliates in "other industries"—agriculture, construction, public utilities, mining, and retail trade—plan a

7-percent spending decrease, to $2.0
billion, following a 1-percent decrease.
In both years, the largest decreases
are in Hong Kong. They reflect the
winding down of a project to con-

struct power generating facilities. Colombian affiliates also plan a sizable
spending decrease in 1987 due to the
completion in 1986 of a mine-to-port
railway system.

Tables 3-5, which provide detailed
country-by-industry estimates of capital
expenditures for each year 1986-88,

By RUSSELL C. KRUEGER

U.S. International Transactions, Second Quarter 1987
THE U.S. current-account deficit in-

creased $4.3 billion to a record $41.1
billion in the second quarter. 1 The
merchandise trade deficit increased
slightly, as imports increased more
than exports. The net service surplus
decreased sharply: Receipts fell due to
lower capital gains in income on U.S.
direct investment abroad, and payments of income on other private investment increased strongly. Net unilateral transfers decreased.

1. Quarterly estimates for U.S. current- and capitalaccount components are seasonally adjusted when statistically significant seasonal patterns are present.

In the private capital accounts,
bank-reported flows dominated. U.S.
bank-reported claims on foreigners increased strongly in April, partly because of a more rapid increase in
short-term Eurodollar interest rates
than in U.S. rates. U.S. bank-reported
liabilities also increased strongly,
largely related to the increase in
claims.
In securities transactions, net foreign purchases of U.S. corporate
stocks remained at near record levels,
and bonds newly issued abroad by
U.S. corporations slowed somewhat.
Net sales of U.S. Treasury securities
by private foreigners continued, espe-

cially early in the quarter when the
dollar depreciated. There were small
net U.S. sales of foreign securities;
net U.S. purchases of foreign stocks
were lower, mostly because of net
sales in Japan, and there was a shift
to small net U.S. sales of foreign
bonds.
Outflows for U.S. direct investment
abroad decreased, as reinvested earnings fell because of lower capital
gains. Inflows for foreign direct investment in the United States decreased moderately, but remained
strong.
Foreign official assets in the United
States continued to increase, primari-

ly reflecting accumulations of U.S.
dollars by foreign monetary authorities from exchange market intervention. U.S. official reserve assets decreased, mostly from intervention
sales of foreign currencies.
The statistical discrepancy (errors
and omissions in reported transactions) was an inflow of $17.6 billion.
U.S. dollar in exchange markets

In the second quarter, the U.S.
dollar depreciated 3 percent on a
trade-weighted quarterly average
basis against the currencies of 10 industrial countries, but appreciated
slightly—less than 1 percent—against
the currencies of 22 OECD countries
(table C, chart 5).
The dollar was under heavy downward pressure from the beginning of
the quarter through mid-May, and depreciated rapidly despite intervention
purchases of dollars by U.S. and foreign monetary authorities. The depreciation reflected concerns over U.S.
protectionist measures, the continued
large U.S. current-account deficit, and
some hesitancy on the part of foreign
investors to increase holdings of
dollar-denominated assets. The depreciation was discussed by monetary officials of major industrial countries in
Washington in early April and again
in June at the Economic Summit in
Venice. At both meetings, participants reaffirmed their commitment to
foster exchange rate stability.
The dollar strengthened during the
second half of the quarter (except
during two brief episodes when the
dollar dipped and U.S. and foreign authorities intervened to buy dollars),
ending the quarter near its beginning
level against most currencies. Capital
inflows beginning in mid-May in response to wide interest rate differentials in favor of U.S. dollar assets contributed to the strengthening of the

dollar, as did tighter monetary conditions in the United States and somewhat more relaxed conditions in
Japan and Germany (chart 6). The
strengthening also may have reflected
perceptions by exchange market participants that the major industrial
countries were likely to coordinate actions to reduce currency fluctuations.
Inflows of capital following increased
political tensions in the Middle East
also may have contributed to the
strengthening of the dollar.

For the quarter, the dollar depreciated 7 percent against the Japanese
yen. Rapid depreciation, which began
late in the first quarter, continued
through mid-May despite exchange
market intervention by Japanese and
U.S. monetary authorities. A shift by
Japanese investors from dollar-denominated assets to assets denominated in yen and other currencies contributed to rapid widening of U.S.Japanese interest rate differentials,
as U.S. rates rose and Japanese rates

fell. After mid-May, actions by Japanese authorities to stimulate the domestic economy, to permit short-term
interest rates to ease, and to advise
Japanese foreign currency traders
and financial institutions to refrain
from speculation contributed to a
strengthening of the dollar. Subsequently, investment reflows from
Japan into high-yielding U.S. assets
and the unwinding of hedges against
the dollar provided further strength
to the dollar.
For the quarter, the dollar depreciated 6 percent against the British
pound, 4 percent against the Swiss
franc, and 1 to 2 percent against the
European Monetary System currencies. The dollar depreciated 1 percent
against the Canadian dollar.

Exports.—Exports increased $3.0
billion, or 5 percent, to $60.0 billion;
volume increased 4 percent. The increase in value was broadly based,
both by end-use commodity category
and destination. In terms of volume,
most major categories showed increases: Foods, feeds, and beverages
increased 9 percent; industrial supplies and materials, 4 percent; capital
goods other than civilian aircraft, 5
percent; and consumer goods, 7 percent. Exceptions were automotive
products and civilian aircraft.
Agricultural exports increased $0.6
billion, or 9 percent, to $7.1 billion;
volume increased 8 percent. Corn and
wheat increased sharply in response
to lower U.S. prices and lower production by other exporters. Much of the
increase was to the Soviet Union,
which made its first substantial purchase of U.S. grain in 2 years. Grain
received under the Export Enhancement Program permitted U.S. exporters to offer the Soviet Union competitive export prices. Grain exports to
the Soviet Union under this program
are expected to continue for several
more quarters. Cotton exports were
also up strongly in response to tight
world supplies. Agricultural prices increased 1 percent on average for the
second consecutive quarter, in contrast to rapidly falling prices in 1986.
Increased agricultural prices were
part of a general rise in commodity
prices this year, as shown in chart 7.
Nonagricultural exports increased
$2.4 billion, or 5 percent, to $52.8 billion; volume increased 4 percent.
The largest increase was in industrial supplies and materials, up $0.9
billion, or 6 percent, to $15.3 billion.
Chemicals increased $0.6 billion to a
record $5.6 billion; the increases were
widespread geographically. Nonferrous metals increased $0.2 billion,
largely to Canada. Average prices for
industrial supplies and materials, like
agricultural prices, increased for the
second consecutive quarter; prices had
declined moderately throughout 1986.
Capital goods increased $0.6 billion,
or 3 percent, to $20.8 billion. Machinery other than business machines and
computers increased $0.8 billion, and
business machines and computers increased $0.2 billion; a $0.4 billion decrease in civilian aircraft was partly
offsetting.
Automotive products increased
slightly to $6.4 billion. Exports of
completed cars to Canada increased,
and exports of parts and engines to
Canada and Mexico decreased.

Merchandise trade
The merchandise trade deficit increased slightly to a record $39.5 billion in the second quarter from $38.8
billion in the first; imports increased
more than exports. Although the rate
of increase in exports was more rapid
than the rate for imports, the increase in imports was larger because
imports are nearly two-thirds larger
than exports.

Consumer goods increased $0.3 billion, or 8 percent, to $4.4 billion.
Japan accounted for about one-half of
the increase.
Imports.—Imports increased $3.8
billion, or 4 percent, to $99.5 billion;
volume increased 2 percent.
Petroleum imports increased $1.3
billion, or 15 percent, to $10.0 billion.
The average price per barrel increased to $17.32 from $15.64, and the
average number of barrels imported
daily increased to 6.32 million from
6.09 million. Lower domestic production and higher consumption contributed to both a large decrease in petroleum inventories and the increase in
imports. Crude petroleum prices increased throughout the quarter, largely reflecting production cutbacks by
OPEC countries that began in the
first quarter and concerns over the
possible disruption of supplies from
the Middle East.
Nonpetroleum imports increased
$2.5 billion, or 3 percent, to a record
$89.5 billion; volume increased 1 percent. Volume increased for most
major end-use commodity categories:
Foods, feeds, and beverages increased
4 percent; capital goods, 7 percent;
automotive products, 1 percent; and
consumer goods, 3 percent. The only
large volume decline—6 percent—was
in industrial supplies and materials.
The largest increase in value was in
capital goods, which increased $1.5
billion, or 7 percent, to $21.2 billion.
A larger increase in imports than in
exports resulted in a first-time trade
deficit in capital goods. Business machines and computers increased $0.3

crease was from the newly industrialized countries (NIC's) in Asia. Other
capital goods increased $1.2 billion, or
8 percent, to $16.3 billion. The increase was broadly based, with machinery up $0.8 billion and transportation equipment up $0.4 billion.
Consumer goods increased $1.1 billion, or 6 percent, to $21.9 billion.
Nearly two-thirds of the increase was
from the NIC's, with smaller increases from Western Europe, Japan,
and Mexico. In mid-April, 100-percent
tariffs were placed on a range of Japanese consumer products (certain
computers, hand tools, and televisions) in retaliation for Japan's alleged violation of an agreement to
prevent dumping of semiconductors.
Automotive products increased $0.5
billion, or 2 percent, to $21.1 billion.
The increase was almost entirely due
to passenger cars from Japan, up 15
percent, and from South Korea, up 90
percent. The import share of U.S. car
sales has remained steady during the
past year, as a surge in sales of lower
cost cars from Korea offset a drop in
sales of Japanese cars. Sales of cars
(domestic and foreign) remained slow
in the second quarter, resulting in a
build-up in foreign car inventories.
Industrial supplies and materials
decreased $0.5 billion, or 3 percent, to
$16.3 billion; nonmonetary gold was
down $0.3 billion. Foods, feeds, and
beverages increased $0.1 billion, or 2
percent, to $6.1 billion.
In April, the United States reduced
the list of products exported by developing countries eligible for duty free
entry into the United States under
the General System of Preferences
(GSP), possibly affecting future trade.
About $3.2 billion in products, mostly
from higher income developing countries, were excluded from the GSP.
By area, the deficit increased $1.3
billion with the NIC's, and $1.0 billion
with Western Europe; smaller increases occurred in the deficit with
Japan, up $0.1 billion to $14.3 billion,
and with Mexico, up $0.2 billion to
$1.7 billion. The deficit with Canada
decreased $1.3 billion to $2.6 billion,
and the deficit with Latin America,
other than Mexico, decreased $0.4 billion to $1.7 billion. The deficit with
Eastern Europe shifted $0.3 billion to
a surplus of $0.2 billion.

decreased $2.0 billion to $40.0 billion;
the decrease was more than accounted for by lower capital gains in receipts of income on U.S. direct investment abroad. Payments increased
$1.8 billion to $38.7 billion, mostly
due to increased payments of income
on other private investment.
Receipts of income on U.S. direct
investment abroad decreased $3.3 billion to $9.4 billion. The decrease was
more than accounted for by lower
capital gains. Following large currency translation gains in the first quarter, when the dollar depreciated substantially, gains were down sharply in
the second, when the dollar strengthened beginning in mid-May. Operating earnings increased $0.3 billion to
$9.0 billion, mostly reflecting the
impact of higher petroleum prices on
earnings of petroleum affiliates. Payments of income on foreign direct investment in the United States decreased $0.6 billion to $2.9 billion.
Higher operating earnings of petroleum affiliates were offset by losses of
automobile wholesale trading affiliates and by a decline in capital gains
of insurance affiliates.
Receipts of income on other private
investment abroad increased $0.7 billion to $11.6 billion, reflecting increased bank claims and higher interest rates on dollar-denominated
assets. Payments of income on other
private investment in the United
States increased $1.5 billion to $11.8
billion, reflecting continued heavy
purchases of U.S. securities, increased
bank liabilities, and higher interest
rates.
U.S. Government receipts of income
were unchanged at $1.3 billion. U.S.
Government payments of income increased $0.4 billion to $6.1 billion, due
to large increases in holdings of U.S.
Treasury securities by foreign official
agencies over the past two quarters.
Travel receipts increased $0.2 billion to $3.7 billion. Receipts from

overseas continued to increase as the
lower value of the dollar reduced the
foreign currency cost of travel to the
United States. Receipts from Mexico
increased strongly. Receipts from
Canada were down slightly, reflecting
lower average expenditures. Travel
payments increased $0.2 billion to
$5.4 billion, as the number of travelers to Europe and the Mediterranean
continued to increase from last year's
depressed level. Payments to other
overseas areas also rose; average expenditures have increased sharply
over the past year due to depreciation
of the dollar. Payments to Canada
and Mexico were down.
Passenger fare receipts and payments were nearly unchanged at $1.0
billion and $1.9 billion, respectively.
Other transportation receipts increased $0.3 billion to $4.2 billion.
Ocean freight receipts were higher
due to a rise in the volume of exports.
Air and ocean port receipts were up
strongly from increased traffic. Other
transportation payments increased
$0.2 billion to $4.7 billion, reflecting
higher ocean freight and ocean port
expenditures.
Receipts from unaffiliated foreigners for other private services increased $0.1 billion to $2.6 billion.
Payments to unaffiliated foreigners
for other private services increased
$0.2 billion to $2.0 billion, mostly due
to higher commission payments on securities transactions in Japan, Germany, and the United Kingdom.
Transfers under U.S. military
agency sales contracts increased $0.2
billion to $3.5 billion. As a result of a
peak in scheduled deliveries of aircraft and other major items during
the first and second quarters, transfers were two-thirds above last year's
level. Direct defense expenditures
abroad were unchanged at $3.4 billion.

36
Unilateral transfers
Net unilateral transfers decreased
$0.2 billion to $2.9 billion, reflecting
decreases in both U.S. Government
grants and private remittances.
U.S. assets abroad
U.S. official reserve assets decreased $3.4 billion in the second
quarter, compared with a $2.0 billion
decrease in the first. Foreign currency
holdings decreased $3.3 billion, mostly
due to intervention sales. The U.S. reserve position in the International
Monetary Fund decreased $0.3 billion,
and special drawing rights increased
$0.2 billion.
Claims on foreigners reported by
U.S. banks increased $20.2 billion,
compared with a decrease of $25.7 billion, as U.S. lending to the overseas
interbank market surged in April. A
more rapid increase in short-term
Eurodollar interest rates than in U.S.
rates contributed to that increase.
Also, some of the increase in overseas
demand for bank credit stemmed
from foreign institutional investors,
who sought increased dollar liabilities
as hedges against the rapid depreciation of the dollar. U.S.-owned banks,
which had a strong influx of deposits
related to income tax payments,
sharply increased claims on affiliated
banks, mostly in Western Europe and
the Caribbean. However, U.S.-owned
banks provided little net funding to
the market because an increase in liabilities, mostly to their own foreign
offices in the Caribbean, nearly
matched the increase in claims. Foreign-owned banks in the United
States also sharply increased their
claims on affiliated and unaffiliated
foreign offices in April.
Outside the interbank market,
there was little bank activity.
Changes in claims on private foreigners and on foreign public borrowers
were small, as were changes in claims
denominated in foreign currencies.
Net U.S. sales of foreign securities
were $0.1 billion, compared with net
purchases of $1.3 billion. Net stock
purchases decreased to $0.5 billion
from $1.2 billion. Large net sales in
Japan were partly offset by purchases
in Western Europe and Canada. Foreign corporations' new stock issues in
the United States, at $1.4 billion,
were especially strong.
New foreign bonds issued in the
United States decreased slightly to
$1.0 billion, as U.S. long-term interest



SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
rates rose 100 basis points in April
and May. Issues were limited to a
small number of regular borrowers
from Canada, Israel, and an international organization.
Net sales of outstanding bonds, including redemptions, increased to $1.5
billion from $1.0 billion. There was a
$2.6 billion shift to net sales of $1.9
billion of Japanese bonds. Sales were
strongest late in the quarter when the
dollar strengthened and interest rates
in Japan rose. Substantial net sales
also occurred in Western Europe, the
Caribbean, and developing countries
in Asia. In contrast, purchases of British gilt-edged bonds nearly tripled to
$3.4 billion because of high yields and
the strength of the pound in exchange
markets.
Net outflows for U.S. direct investment abroad decreased to $4.6 billion
from $9.8 billion. Reinvested earnings
decreased $3.0 billion to $5.1 billion;
the decrease, which largely reflected
lower capital gains, was mostly in
Western Europe and Canada. Equity
capital shifted $1.8 billion to net inflows of $0.7 billion, and intercompany debt outflows slowed.
Foreign assets in the United States
Foreign official assets in the United
States increased $9.4 billion in the
second quarter, compared with a $14.0
billion increase in the first. Continued
increases in industrial countries' holdings mostly reflected
exchange
market intervention purchases of dollars. Dollar assets of OPEC members
continued to decrease. Dollar assets of
other countries decreased (table B).
Liabilities to private foreigners and
international financial institutions reported by U.S. banks, excluding U.S.
Treasury securities, increased $15.2
billion, in contrast to a decrease of
$13.6 billion. Large increases in liabilities of U.S.-owned banks to affiliated
banks in Western Europe and the
Caribbean were largely related to the
previously mentioned surge in U.S.
banks' claims on foreigners in April.
In addition, foreign funds financed increases in lending to U.S. securities
dealers. Foreign-owned banks in the
United States also drew on funds
from banks in Western Europe and
the Caribbean, while repaying funds
borrowed from Japanese and Canadian affiliates. Liabilities payable in foreign currencies decreased $0.6 billion,
in contrast to an increase of $6.9 billion in the first quarter.
Custody liabilities of banks' domes-

tic customers shifted from a decrease
of $2.4 billion to an increase of $3.2
billion.
Net foreign sales of U.S. Treasury
securities by private foreigners and
international financial institutions increased to $2.6 billion from $1.6 billion, the third consecutive quarter of
net sales. Sales were heavy early in
the quarter when the dollar depreciated. Later in the quarter, there was
a shift to strong net purchases, especially by Japanese investors, due to
strengthening of the dollar and a
wide interest differential in favor of
dollar-denominated assets.
Net foreign purchases of U.S. securities, other than U.S. Treasury securities, remained strong at $15.9 billion, although down from $18.5 billion. Net foreign purchases of U.S.
corporate stocks were $8.3 billion,
compared with a record $9.8 billion in
the first quarter; net purchases
during the first two quarters of 1987
exceeded the record 1986 annual
total. Net Japanese purchases, which
accelerated following liberalization of
foreign investment restrictions last
year, were $4.0 billion in the second
quarter, compared with $3.4 billion.
Purchases from the United Kingdom,
although smaller than in the first
quarter, remained strong.
Bonds newly issued abroad by U.S.
corporations slowed to $5.9 billion
from $7.0 billion, due to rising longterm interest rates. Convertible issues
of industrial companies picked up because of strong equity prices. There
were few issues by banks; nonbank financial corporations, who had borrowed heavily since early 1986, also
had few issues. U.S. dollar issues decreased, and foreign currency issues
denominated in German marks and
Swiss francs increased moderately.
Net inflows for foreign direct investment in the United States decreased to $7.2 billion from $7.7 billion. Equity inflows increased to $2.6
billion from $1.8 billion, reflecting the
acquisition of a U.S. financial firm by
a Japanese firm and the recapitalization of a manufacturing affiliate by a
French firm. Several acquisitions in
the second quarter were financed entirely by borrowing from domestic
(U.S.) sources so that no direct investment capital flows were generated.
Intercompany debt inflows, at $3.8 billion, were $0.6 billion lower than in
the first quarter, but remained large
for the third consecutive quarter. Reinvested earnings decreased $0.7 billion to $0.8 billion.

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

Revised.

'' Preliminary.
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 offical assets in the United States.
2. Excludes transfers of goods and services under U.S. military grant programs (see line 15).
3. Excludes exports of goods under U.S. military agency sales contracts identified in Census
export documents, excludes imports of goods under direct defense expenditures identified in
Census import documents, and reflects various other adjustments (for valuation, coverage, and
timing) of Census statistics to balance of payments basis; see table 3.
4. Beginning in 1982, line 7 and line 22 are redefined to include only net receipts and payments
for the use or sale of intangible property rights, including patents, industrial processes, trademarks, copyrights, franchises, designs, know-how, formulas, techniques, and manufacturing
rights. Other direct investment services, net—including fees for management, professional, and
technical services; charges for the use of tangible property; film and television tape rentals; and
all other charges and fees—are shown in line 9 and line 24. Data on the redefined basis are not
separately available prior to 1982.
5. For all areas, amounts outstanding June 30, 1987, were as follows in millions of dollars: Line
36, 45,139; line 37, 11,069; line 38, 8,856; line 39, 11,313; line 40, 13,902.
6. Includes sales of foreign obligations to foreigners.
7. Consists of bills, certificates, marketable bonds and notes, and nonmarketable convertible
and nonconvertible bonds and notes.
8. Consists of U.S. Treasury and Export-Import Bank obligations, not included elsewhere, and
of debt securities of U.S. Government corporations and agencies.
9. Includes, primarily, U.S. Government liabilities associated with military agency sales contracts and other transactions arranged with or through foreign official agencies; see table 4.
10. Consists of investments in U.S. corporate stocks and in debt securities of private corporations and State and local governments.
11. Conceptually, the sum of lines 69 and 64 is equal to "net foreign investment" in the national income and product accounts (NIPA's). However, the foreign transactions account in the
NIPA's (a) includes adjustments to the international transactions accounts for the treatment of
gold, (b) excludes capital gains and losses of foreign affiliates of U.S. parent companies from the
NIPA's measure of income receipts from direct investment abroad, and from the corresponding
income payments on direct investment in the United States, (c) includes an adjustment for the
different geographical treatment of transactions with U.S. territories and Puerto Rico, and (d)
includes services furnished without payment by financial intermediaries except life insurance
carriers and private noninsured pension plans. In addition, for NIPA purposes, U.S. Government
interest payments to foreigners are excluded from "net exports of goods and services" but included with transfers in "net Foreign investment." A reconciliation of the balance on goods and services from the international accounts and the NIPA net exports appears in the Reconciliation
and Other Special Tables" section in this issue of the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS. A reconciliation of the other foreign transactions in the two sets of accounts appears in table 4.5 of the full
set of NIPA tables (published annually in the July issue of the SURVEY).
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). Both unadjusted and seasonally adjusted data have been prepared by BEA from "actual" and "revised statistical" month data supplied by the Census Bureau (see Technical Notes, December 1985 SURVEY).
The seasonally adjusted data are the sum of seasonally adjusted four-digit end-use categories (see
Technical Notes, June 1980 SURVEY).
2. Adjustments in lines A5 and A13, B12, B46, and B80 reflect the Census Bureau's reconciliation of discrepancies between the merchandise trade statistics published by the United States and
the counterpart statistics published in Canada. These adjustments are distributed to the affected
end-use categories in section C. Beginning in 1986, estimates for undocumented exports to
Canada, the largest item in the U.S.-Canadian reconciliation, are included in the Census basis
data shown in lines Al, Dl, and D58.
3. Exports of military equipment under U.S. military agency sales contracts with foreign governments (line A6), and direct imports by the Department of Defense and the Coast Guard (line
A14), to the extent such trade is identifiable from Customs declarations. The exports are included
in tables 1, 2, and 10, line 3 (transfers under U.S. military agency sales contracts); the imports
are included in tables 1, 2, and 10, line 18 (direct defense expenditures).
4. Addition of electrical energy; deduction of exposed motion picture film for rental rather than
sale; net change in stock of U.S.-owned grains in storage in Canada; and coverage adjustments for
special situations in which shipments were omitted from Census data.
5. Deduction of foreign charges for repair of U.S. vessels abroad, which are included in tables 1,
2, and 10, line 21 (other transportation); and coverage adjustments for special situations in which
shipments were omitted from Census data.
6. Annual and unadjusted quarterly data shown in this table correspond to country and area
data in table 10, lines 2 and 17. Trade with international organizations includes purchases of nonmonetary gold from the International Monetary Fund (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, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa;
Members of OPEC: Venezuela, Ecuador, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab
Emirates, Indonesia, Algeria, Libya, Nigeria, and Gabon; Other countries: Eastern Europe, Latin
American Republics, other Western Hemisphere, and other countries in Asia and Africa, less
OPEC. For all years, "Asia" and "Africa" exclude certain Pacific Islands and unidentified countries included in "Other countries in Asia and Africa."
7. Includes nuclear fuel materials and fuels.
Table 4:
1. Expenditures to release foreign governments from their contractual liabilities to pay for military goods and services purchased through military sales contracts—first authorized (for Israel)
under Public Law 93-199, section 4, and subsequently authorized (for many recipients) under
similar legislation—are included in line A3. Deliveries against these military sales contracts are
included in line C10; 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 lin

from countries other than the United States, is included in line A45.
2. Transactions under military sales contracts are those in which the Department of Defense
sells and transfers military goods and services to a foreign purchaser, on a cash or credit basis.
Purchases by foreigners directly from commercial suppliers are not included as transactions
under military sales contracts. The entries for the several categories of transactions related to
military sales contracts in this and other tables are partly estimated from incomplete data.

3. The identification of transactions involving direct dollar outflows from the United States is
made in reports by each operating agency.
4. Line A35 includes foreign currency collected as interest and line A40 includes foreign currency collected as principal, as recorded in lines A13 and A14, respectively.
5. Includes (a) advance payments to the Department of Defense (on military sales contracts)
financed by loans extended to foreigners by U.S. Government agencies and (b) the contraentry for
the part of line C10 that was delivered without prepayment by the foreign purchaser. Also includes expenditures of appropriations available to release foreign purchasers from liability to
make repayment.
6. Includes purchases of loans from U.S. banks and exporters and payments by the U.S. Government under commercial export credit and investment guarantee programs.

September 1987

Constant-Dollar Inventories, Sales, and Inventory-Sales Ratios for Manufacturing and
Trade: Revised Estimates
The constant-dollar inventories, sales, and inventory-sales ratios have
been revised beginning with 1984 to incorporate new source data. Revised constant-dollar inventories through the first quarter of 1987 are
consistent with the revised inventory estimates in the July 1987 issue of
the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS. Tables 1, 2, and 3 present quarterly

and monthly constant-dollar inventories, sales, and inventory-sales
ratios, respectively. Table 4 presents quarterly fixed-weighted constantdollar inventory-sales ratios, i.e., ratios obtained by weighting detailed
industry ratios by 1982 sales. Table 5 presents quarterly and monthly inventories for manufacturing by stage of fabrication. Quarterly constant-

dollar manufacturing and trade inventories, sales, and inventory-sales
ratios were published for 1976-82 in the February 1986 SURVEY, and for
1983 in the September 1986 SURVEY. Quarterly and monthly constantdollar manufacturing and trade inventories, sales, and inventory-sales
ratios for 1967-86, and constant-dollar manufacturing inventories by
stage of fabrication for 1959-86, are available in hard copy at a cost of
$50.00 from the National Income and Wealth Division (BE-54), Bureau of
Economic Analysis, U.S. Department of Commerce, Washington, DC
20230.

t Effective Feb. 1987 SURVEY, the money stock measures and components have been
revised and are available from the Banking Section of the Division of Research and Statistics at the Federal Reserve Board, Washington, D.C. 20551.
X Composition of the money stock measures is as follows:
MI.—This measure is currency plus demand deposits at commercial banks and interestearning checkable deposits at all depository 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.
M2.—This measure adds to Ml overnight repurchase agreements (RP's) issued by commercial banks and certain overnight Eurodollars (those issued by Caribbean branches of
member banks) held by U.S. nonbank residents, money market mutual fund shares, and
savings and small-denomination time deposits (those issued in denominations of less than
$100,000) at all depository institutions. Depository institutions are commercial banks (including U.S. agencies and branches of foreign banks, Edge Act corporations, and foreign investment
companies), mutual savings banks, savings and loan associations, and credit unions.
Mi.—This measure equals M2 plus large-denomination time deposits (those issued in denominations of $100,000 or more) at all depository institutions (including negotiable CD's) plus
term RP's issued by commercial banks and savings and loan associations.
L— This broad measure of liquid assets equals M3 plus other liquid assets consisting of
other Eurodollar holdings of U.S. nonbank residents, bankers acceptances, commercial
paper, savings bonds, and marketable liquid Treasury obligations.
XX Includes ATS and NOW balances at all depository institutions, credit union share
draft balances, and demand deposits at thrift institutions.
O Overnight (and continuing contract) RP's are those issued by commercial banks to
the nonbank public, and overnight Eurodollars are those issued by Caribbean branches of
member banks to U.S. nonbank customers.
@ Small time deposits are those issued in amounts of less than $100,000. Large time
deposits are those issued in amounts of $100,000 or more and are net of the holdings of
domestic banks, thrift institutions, the U.S. Government, money market mutual funds, and
foreign banks and official institutions.
