The old measure overgrowth as we move further from the base year 1987,
because of the shift towards goods whose prices are rising
slowly or declining, such as computers. The new measure
uses more current prices to derive real GDP and therefore
shows a slower rate of growth.
By either measure, GDP growth picked up sharply in the
third quarter. Consumer spending was strong, especially for
household durable goods and autos, and business investment continued to expand rapidly. An expected slowdown
in inventory accumulation did not occur, helping to boost
growth in the quarter.

Consumer and producer

prices

remained relatively tame as the economy concluded its 55th month of expansion in October. Despite an
unemployment rate near 5-1/2 percent over most of the past
year, growth of wages has been subdued, putting little pressure on prices. The consumer price index (CPI) has increased at a 2.9 percent annual rate so far in 1995, up only
slightly from increases of 2.7 percent during each of the 2
previous years. Declining energy prices and a modest 2.5
percent rate of advance in food prices have contributed to
the favorable performance this year.
Core inflation, or the CPI less food and energy, has accelerated to a 3.3 percent annual rate through the first 10
months of 1995 from only 2.6 percent over all of 1994.

Productivity in manufacturing, a component of the nonfarm sector, soared at a 6.2 percent annual rate in the third
quarter and is up at a 4. 1 percent so far this year, in line
with the increases of the previous 2 years. Data are not yet
available to convert manufacturing productivity to a chainweighted basis.
Labor costs per unit of output remain low in 1995, helping to keep inflation in check. The currently published figures exaggerate the progress, however, because they
overstate productivity growth. Published numbers suggest
unit labor costs have risen at only a 0.5 percent annual rate
during the first three quarters of 1995, but that would be
translated into a 2.2 percent pace using chain-weighted productivity. This is still not a bad performance and is essentially the same as over the course of the previous 2 years.

The current account balance is the most comprehensive
measure of U.S. international transactions. The current account deficit has widened sharply since 1991 to $151 billion in 1994 and $165 billion at an annual rate in the first
half of 1995. Much of this reflects the economic recovery
here, which has been drawing in imports at a faster pace
than the rate of expansion in exports.
A larger merchandise trade deficit accounts for most of
the deterioration. That deficit reached

and through the first half of 1995 climbed to an annual rate

year, in line with figures for the previous 3 years.

The balance on income payments, which includes

1995

Declines in manufacturing employment have held down
overall job growth. Factory jobs fell by 227,000 between
March and October after steady gains since early 1994. The
private service-producing sector has continued to add large
numbers of new jobs in 1995, but at a much slower pace
than last year. Increases in this sector averaged 215,000 per
month in 1994, and 138,000 per month through the first 10
months of 1995.
After dipping to a recent low of 5.4 percent in February,
the unemployment rate has hovered between 5.5 and 5.8
percent for several months. This is well below levels at the
start of 1994 and is quite low by historical standards.

Interest rates

Long-term interest rates have declined since the beginning of the year as the pace of economic growth moderated
from rapid gains in the last half of 1994 and as inflation
pressures ebbed. The yield on the 30-year Treasury bond is
now under 6.3 percent, compared with a recent peak of 8.
percent in November 1994. Mortgage interest rates have
fallen roughly 200 basis points, or 2 percentage points,
from levels at the end of last year.
Short-term interest rates have also moved lower. In July
the Federal Reserve Board eased monetary policy slightly
with a 25 basis-point decrease in the target for the Federal
funds rate to 5-3/4 percent. The discount rate was left unchanged at 5.25 percent. The rate on the 3-month Treasury
bill subsequently declined and is now roughly in line with
the discount rate after holding above it through 1994 and
the first half of 1995.

Gains over the past 3 years are entirely the result of a narrowing of the Federal deficit, which has reduced Government dissaving to 1 .8 percent of NNP in the first half of
1995 from 2.2 percent in 1994 and a high of 4.8 percent in
1992. State and local governments run a slight surplus,
which has been essentially stable. Private saving, of households and businesses, was equivalent to 5.9 percent of NNP
in the first half of 1995, up a little from 1994 but about the
same as in the prior 3 years and still considerably below averages near 9 percent in the I960"s and 1970" s.

Net domestic investment equaled 5.8 percent of NNP in

accounted for 2.7 percent of NNP or roughly 45 percent of
domestic investment so far this year. Investments from U.S.
sources were equivalent to only 3. 1 percent of NNP in the
first half of 1995, compared to averages above 8 percent

INTRODUCTION:
Treasury collects information about the transference of

Capital

foreigners

and other portfolio capital movements between
the United States and foreigners, and has since 1935. Commercial banks and other depository institutions, bank holding
companies, securities brokers and dealers, and nonbanking
enterprises in the United States file capital movement reports
with district Federal Reserve banks.
Forms and instructions are developed with the cooperation
of other Government agencies and the Federal Reserve System, and in consultation with representatives of banks, securities firms, and nonbanking enterprises. Copies of the reporting
forms and instructions may be obtained from the Office of

quarter.

International Financial Analysis, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Economic Policy, Department of the Treasury,

data on

financial assets

district Federal Reserve
banks.
In general, information is reported opposite the country or
geographical area where the foreigner is located, as shown on
records of reporting institutions. However, information may
not always reflect the ultimate ownership of assets. Reporting
institutions are not required to go beyond addresses shown on
their records, and so may not be aware of the actual country of
domicile of the ultimate beneficiary.
United States liabilities arising from the deposits of dollars
with foreign banks appear as liabilities to foreign banks, although the liability of the foreign bank receiving the deposit
may be to foreign officicil iustiiiiiions or to residents of another
country.
Transactions with branches or agencies of foreign official
institutions, wherever located, are reported opposite the country that has sovereignty over the institutions. Transactions with
international and regional organizations are not reported opposite any country, but are accounted for in regional groupings
of such organizations. The only exception is information pertaining to the Bank for International Settlements, which is
reported opposite 'Other Europe."
Banks and other depository institutions, bank holding companies. International Banking Facilities (IBFs), securities brokers and dealers, and nonbanking enterprises in the United
States must file reports. These enterprises include the
branches, agencies, subsidiaries, and other affiliates in the
United States of foreign banking and nonbanking firms. Those
with liabilities, claims, or securities transactions below speci-

Washington, D.C., 20220, or from

exemption levels are exempt from reporting.
Banks and other depository institutions, and some brokers
and dealers, file monthly reports covering their dollar liabilities to, and dollar claims on, foreigners in a number of countries. Twice a year, June 30 and December 3
they also report
the same liabilities and claims items to foreigners in countries
not shown separately on the monthly reports. Quarterly reports
are filed for liabilities and claims denominated in foreign
currencies in relation to foreigners. The exemption level applicable to these banking reports is $15 million.
Banks and other depository institutions, securities brokers
and dealers, and other enterprises report monthly their transactions with foreigners in long-term securities. They must

Nonbanking enterprises also report each month their U.S.
denominated deposit and certificates of deposit claims
of $10 million or more on banks abroad.
The data in these tables do not cover all types of reported
capital movements between the United States and other countries. The principal exclusions are the intercompany capital
transactions of nonbanking business enterprises in the United
States with their own branches and subsidiaries abroad (own
dollar

foreign offices) or with their foreign parent companies, and
capital transactions of the U.S.

Government. Consolidated

types of international capital transactions are published by the Department of Commerce in its regular reports
on the United States balance of payments.
• Section I presents liabilities to foreigners reported by U.S.
banks and other depository institutions, as well as brokers and
dealers. Dollar liabilities are reported monthly; those denominated in foreign currencies are reported quarterly. Respondents report certain of their own liabilities and a wide range of
all

custody liabilities to foreigners.
• Section II presents claims on foreigners also reported

their

by

U.S. banks and other depository institutions, brokers, and
dealers. Data on bank claims held for their own account are
collected monthly. Information on claims held for their domestic customers as well as foreign currency claims, is collected on a quarterly basis only. Maturity data are reported
according to time remaining to maturity. Reporting also covers
certain items held by brokers and dealers in the United States.
• Section III contains supplementary data on dollar liabilities to, and dollar claims on, countries not listed separately on
the monthly reports submitted by banks, other depository
institutions, brokers and dealers in the United States. The
supplementary reports are filed semiannually as of the end of
June and December. (Note: Beginning with the September

1994 issue of the "Treasury Bulletin," former table CM-IIl-1,
Dollar Claims on Nonbank Foreigners, will no longer appear.
Former table CM-III-2, Dollar Liabilities to, and Dollar
Claims on. Foreigners in Countries and Areas Not Regularly
Reported Separately, has been redesignated as table CM-III- 1
This semiannual data series will now appear in each issue of
the "Treasury Bulletin.")
• Section IV shows the liabilities to, and claims on, unaffiliated foreigners by exporters, importers, industrial and commercial concerns, financial institutions (other than banks,
other depository institutions, and brokers), and other nonbanking enterprises in the United States. Information does not
include accounts of nonbanking enterprises in the United
States with their own branches and subsidiaries abroad or with
their foreign parent companies. These are reported by business
enterprises to the Department of Commerce on its direct
investment forms. Data exclude claims on foreigners held
through banks in the United States.
• Section V contains information on transactions in all types
of long-term domestic and foreign securities with foreigners
reported by banks, brokers, and other entities in the United
States. The data cover transactions executed in the United
States for the accounts of foreigners, and transactions executed
abroad for the accounts of reporting institutions and their
domestic customers. This includes transactions in newly issued securities as well as transactions in, and redemptions of,
outstanding issues. Also, some transactions classified as direct
investments in the balance of payments accounts may be

'

included. However, the data do not include nonmarketable
Treasury bonds and notes shown in table lFS-3.
In the case of outstanding securities, the geographical
breakdown of the transactions data does not necessarily reflect
the ultimate owners of or the original issuers of the securities.
This is because the path of a security is not tracked prior to its
being purchased from, or after it is sold to, a foreigner in a TIC
reportable transaction. That is, before it enters and after it
departs the reporting system, ownership of a security may be
transferred between foreigners of different countries. Such
transfers may occur any number of times and are concealed
among the net figures for U.S. transactions opposite individual
countries. Hence, the geographical breakdown shows only the
country of domicile of the foreign buyers and sellers of securities in a particular round of transactions.
SPECIAL NOTICE THIS ISSUE: In an ongoing effort to
improve the completeness and accuracy of the Treasury International Capital (TIC) data, including the data comprising the
tables and charts in this chapter, a mandatory "Survey of
Selected Foreign Financial Assets" was conducted recently for
the Treasury by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The

aim of the survey was to measure U.S. residents' holdings of
foreign short-term financial instamients and banking assets as
of March 31, 1994. The survey was tiled by current respondents to the TIC reporting system, as well as by other U.S.
firms and institutions identified as potential TIC respondents.
The survey returns of current TIC respondents were compared
with similar TIC-reported data for the end-March 1994 reporting period. Where significant errors and omissions were revealed, respondents were requested to file revised TIC reports
starting with the end-December 1993 reporting period. Similarly,

survey respondents

reports were instructed to

who should have been filing TIC
commence filing as of end-Decem-

ber 1993. Overall, the survey identified nearly $75 billion net,
or some 1 1.5 percent, in additional banking and nonbanking
claims as of the March 31, 1994, survey date, consisting
largely of financial assets held by custodians for their domestic
customers. Substantial portions of these net additional claims
are currently reflected in the claims data series in sections II

and IV. The remaining revisions and a comprehensive report
on the survey are planned for publication in the March issue
of the "Treasury Bulletin".

Net purchases by U S investors equal net sales by foreigners, or gross sales

'
Annual average

U.S. net purchases of foreign stocks and bonds
in recent years stand in

marked

contrast to the

com-

paratively low levels of average annual activity
throughout the 1980's. The robust growth in U.S. net

purchases of foreign securities

is

due largely

to a

trend toward international diversification among
U.S. institutional mvestors. The table presents ag-

gregate net purchases on an annual average net basis
for 1980 - 1989, on an annual basis for 1992 - 1994.

and on a year-to-date and most recent quarter basis
1995. The data show that U.S. investors' net
purchases of foreign securities have been substantial
for

in the 1990' s, particularly in 1993 when net purchases of both foreign bonds and foreign stocks
reached yearend record highs. In 1994, U.S. net
purchases of foreign bonds plunged. As of September 1995, net purchases of foreign bonds had reversed substantially, with heavy activity in the third
period alone. U.S. net purchases of foreign stocks
also declined in 1994, but then remained stable on
an annualized basis through September 1995. U.S.
investors returned aggressively to foreign stocks in
the third quarter, as evidenced by the surge in net

purchases.
