Profile of the Economy

[Source: Office of Macroeconomic Analysis]

Real gross domestic product (GDP)
Real GDP grew at a 3.9 percent annual rate in the third quarter, in line with the average over the previous 2 years. Underlying the fairly strong performance of total GDP was evidence
of a slowing pace in several of its components, particularly
business investment. It is expected that economic growth will
moderate over the course of next year.
The household sector accounted for much of the growth in
the third quarter, although gains in consumer spending on
goods and services and on housing were much lower than the
very rapid rates posted in the first half. Business investment
declined in the third quarter for the first time since 1991, reflecting a third straight drop in investment in structures, and a
reversal in equipment investment following growth at more
than a 25 percent annual rate in the first half.
Deterioration in the foreign trade balance continued to act as
a drag on real GDP growth in the third quarter, but to a much
lesser extent than earlier in the year. The widening trade deficit
subtracted 0.4 percentage point from GDP growth in the third
quarter, compared to more than 2 points subtracted in each of
the prior two quarters. Inventory investment was also a more
positive factor, adding 1 percentage point to third quarter
growth compared with a reduction of 2.7 points in the previous
quarter.
The national accounts measures of inflation continue to be
very moderate. The chain-weight GDP price index increased
at a 0.8 percent annual rate in the third quarter and was up at
only a 0.9 percent pace through three quarters this year. The
gross domestic purchases index, which subtracts exports and

Inflation
Inflation remains well behaved in 1998, with consumer
prices continuing to rise at a modest pace. Further back in the
production chain there are no signs of building price pressures,
with producer prices continuing to decline at all three stages of

not include capital gains.)
Real consumer spending jumped at a 6.1 percent annual rate
in both of the first two quarters of the year and by 4.1 percent in
the third. Strength has been widespread among discretionary
items, such as furniture and appliances, miscellaneous
durables, clothing, foreign travel and brokerage services.
Since even the high rate of income growth was outpaced by
spending, the share of after-tax income devoted to personal
saving fell to an extremely low 0.2 percent in the third quarter
from 1.2 percent in the first quarter and 2.1 percent averaged in
1997. Huge gains in wealth associated with rising stock prices
appear to have caused households to feel less need to save out
of current income in recent years.
Industrial production and capacity utilization
Industrial production in manufacturing, mining and utilities
has grown by a modest 0.4 percent annual rate during the first
10 months of 1998, a distinct slowdown from increases averaging 5.2 percent during the previous 2 years.
The main source of weakness has been manufacturing output, which accounts for about 86 percent of total industrial production. The impact of decreased demand for U.S. exports
stemming from the Asian crisis and the strong dollar has become more apparent as the year has progressed. Factory production fell by 0.9 percent at an annual rate in the third quarter,
following increases at rates of 2.3 percent in the first quarter
and 0.8 percent in the second. The strike at General Motors affected third-quarter results, but declines were widespread. In
October, factory production showed signs of modest recovery,
posting a small 0.3 percent increase.
The industrial capacity utilization rate has been falling
throughout 1998, dropping to 80.6 percent in October from
83.3 percent at the end of last year. The decline reflects not
only sluggish growth of production, but also rapid expansion
of capacity at a 4.3 percent annual rate over the first 10 months
of this year. The utilization rate currently stands at its lowest
point in more than 6 years, well below the expansion high of
84.6 percent reached in early 1995 and also below its
long-term average of 82.1 percent.
Nonfarm productivity and unit labor costs
Nonfarm business productivity (real output per hour
worked) has increased at a 1.9 percent annual rate over the first
three quarters of 1998. As is typical of this volatile series,
growth has been uneven at a rapid 3.5 percent annual rate in the
first quarter, only 0.3 percent in the second, and 2.3 percent in
the third. The advance so far during 1998 matches the 1.9 percent pace averaged over the previous 2 years but is notably
faster than trend productivity growth—estimated at about
1-1/4 percent.
Growth of hourly compensation costs in the nonfarm business sector has accelerated to a 4.3 percent annual rate during
the first three quarters of 1998 from 3.9 percent during 1997
and as little as 1.6 percent during 1993. Strong productivity
growth has held the increase of labor costs per unit of output to
only 2.1 percent so far during 1998, matching the rise for all of
1997. While recent increases are somewhat faster than the 1.6
percent registered during both 1995 and 1996, they are still rel-

5

atively small, helping to contain inflation.
Productivity in manufacturing has grown at a 2.4 percent annual rate so far during 1998, roughly half as fast as the 4-1/2
percent rate averaged during the previous 3 years. Unit labor
costs in manufacturing have risen at only a 0.8 percent annual
rate through the third quarter, about the same as last year. During the previous 3 years, these costs had fallen by 1.8 percent
annually on average.
Current account balance
The current account is a summary of U.S. international
transactions, measuring trade in goods and services as well as
the net flow of investment income and unilateral transfers. The
current account has shown a deficit almost continuously since
the early 1980’s. That deficit has widened substantially from a
recent low of $6 billion in 1991 to $226 billion at an annual
rate in the second quarter of 1998. This exceeded the previous
record deficit of $168 billion set in 1987, although it represents
a smaller share of the overall economy (2.7 percent of GDP
compared with 3.6 percent in 1987).
Over the past several years, U.S. economic growth has outpaced that of our major trading partners. That caused imports
to grow much more rapidly than exports. The sharp appreciation of the dollar in more recent years has widened the trade
gap further. In addition, what had been a positive balance on
investment income shifted to a negative in 1997 as the inflow
of capital into the United States boosted payments of earnings
and interest to foreigners.
Deterioration in the second quarter mainly reflected a deepening of the deficit on trade in goods and services due to the
strength of the dollar as well as weaker demand for U.S. goods
exports in Asia. The goods and services trade deficit widened
further in the third quarter but by much less than in the previous quarter.
The current account deficit is matched by offsetting transactions in the capital account, although the two do not exactly
match. The difference (the statistical discrepancy) is usually
taken to consist largely of unrecorded capital flows. In the second quarter, recorded capital inflows for foreign assets in the
U.S. exceeded capital outflows for U.S. assets abroad by $264
billion at an annual rate. The statistical discrepancy widened to
an annual rate of $38 billion from $13 billion in the first quarter.
Exchange rate of the dollar
The appreciation of the dollar against other industrial countries, which began in 1995, turned course this past summer.
The exchange rate of the dollar based on the Federal Reserve
Board’s trade-weighted index against the currencies of other
G-10 industrialized nations plunged by 8 percent from August
through October after rising by 24.4 percent since April 1995.
The reversal was related to a significant deleveraging in capital markets as U.S. investors shed not only domestic assets,
which lowered U.S. interest rates, but foreign-denominated
assets as well, which worked to lower exchange rates. That
process appears to have played out and exchange rates leveled
off toward the end of October.
Among the G-10 currencies, the dollar depreciated by a total

World War II. The surplus is estimated to represent 0.8 percent
of GDP, the highest such ratio since 1956, and resulted in a reduction in the Federal debt level for the first time in 19 years.
Surpluses are expected to occur in each succeeding fiscal year
through at least 2003, according to the Administration’s projections.
Strong economic growth and passage of deficit reduction
programs placed the deficit on a downward course since 1992.
In that year the deficit recorded an all-time high of $290 billion, then shrank to just $22 billion by fiscal 1997 before the
budget moved into surplus in the year just ended.
Growth in receipts has been very strong over the past 6 years,
boosted by expansion in jobs and income, rising corporate
profits, and stock market gains. In fiscal 1998, receipts rose by
9 percent, with an especially notable jump for nonwithheld in-

dividual income taxes, up almost 13 percent over the year.
Withheld income and employment taxes grew by 9 percent in
fiscal 1998, reflecting strong growth in wages and salaries and
employment.
Growth in Federal spending was held to a moderate 3.2 percent in fiscal 1998, or even less after adjusting for some special
financial flows which artificially reduced outlays in the previous fiscal year. Excluding large spectrum auction proceeds
and asset sales in the deposit insurance account in 1997, both
of which are treated as negative outlays in budget accounting,
outlay growth in 1998 was just 2.3 percent.
Net national saving and investment
Net national sav ing has been rising steadily from a
post-World War II low of 3.4 percent of net national product
(NNP) in 1992 to 7.6 percent in the first half of 1998 (latest
available). Despite the progress, net saving, which excludes
depreciation to replace worn-out or obsolete equipment and
structures used in production, still remains well below the 12.1
percent of NNP averaged in the 1950’s and 1960’s.
Recent improvement is more than accounted for by the
swing in the Federal budget from large deficits to near balance.
As a result, the combined account of Federal and State and local governments has moved from dissaving equivalent to 4.7
percent of NNP in 1992 to saving equivalent to 1.9 percent of
NNP in the first half of 1998. Private saving of households and
businesses has declined since 1992, as increased wealth generated by a surging stock market appears to have reduced households’ desire to save. Gains in corporate profits have led to
greater business saving since 1992.
Net domestic investment equaled 9.2 percent of NNP in the
first half of 1998. This was up from a low 4.9 percent for all of
1991 and was the highest reading in more than a decade. About
one-quarter of investment so far this year was financed by foreign inflows, which were equivalent to 2.6 percent of NNP.
U.S. sources provided investment equal to 6.6 percent of NNP,
only a little more than half as much as averaged in the 1950’s
and 1960’s.

INTRODUCTION: Federal Fiscal Operations
Budget authority usually takes the form of appropriations
that allow obligations to be incurred and payments to be made.
Reappropriations are Congressional actions that extend the
availability of unobligated amounts that have expired or
would otherwise expire. These are counted as new budget authority in the fiscal year of the legislation in which the
reappropriation act is included, regardless of when the
amounts were originally appropriated or when they would otherwise lapse.
Obligations generally are liquidated by the issuance of
checks or the disbursement of cash—outlays. Obligations may
also be liquidated (and outlays recorded) by the accrual of interest on public issues of Treasury debt securities (including an
increase in redemption value of bonds outstanding); or by the
issuance of bonds, debentures, notes, monetary credits, or
electronic payments.
Refunds of collections generally are treated as reductions
of collections, whereas payments for earned-income tax credits in excess of tax liabilities are treated as outlays. Outlays
during a fiscal year may be for payment of obligations incurred
in prior years or in the same year. Outlays, therefore, flow in
part from unexpended balances of prior year budget authority
and from budget authority provided for the year in which the
money is spent. Total outlays include both budget and
off-budget outlays and are stated net of offsetting collections.
Receipts are reported in the tables as either budget receipts or offsetting collections. They are collections from the
public, excluding receipts offset against outlays. These, also
called governmental receipts, consist mainly of tax receipts
(including social insurance taxes), receipts from court fines,
certain licenses, and deposits of earnings by the Federal Reserve system. Refunds of receipts are treated as deductions
from gross receipts. Total Government receipts are compared
with total outlays in calculating the budget surplus or deficit.
Offsetting collections from other Government accounts
or the public are of a business-type or market-oriented nature.
They are classified as either collections credited to appropriations or fund accounts, or offsetting receipts (i.e., amounts deposited in receipt accounts). The former normally can be used
without appropriation act by Congress. These occur in two instances: (1) when authorized by law, amounts collected for
materials or services are treated as reimbursements to appropriations. For accounting purposes, earned reimbursements
are also known as revenues. These offsetting collections are
netted against gross outlays in determining net outlays from
such appropriations; and (2) in the three types of revolving
funds (public enterprise, intragovernmental, and trust); offsetting collections are netted against spending, and outlays are reported as the net amount.
Offsetting receipts in receipt accounts cannot be used
without appropriation. They are subdivided into three categories: (1) proprietary receipts, or collections from the public,
offset against outlays by agency and by function; (2)

intragovernmental transactions, or payments into receipt accounts from governmental appropriation or fund accounts.
They finance operations within and between Government
agencies and are credited with collections from other Government accounts; and (3) offsetting governmental receipts
which include foreign cash contributions.
Intrabudgetary transactions are subdivided into three
categories: (1) interfund transactions—payments are from
one fund group (either Federal funds or trust funds) to a receipt
account in the other fund group; (2) Federal intrafund transactions—payments and receipts both occur within the Federal
fund group; and (3) trust intrafund transactions—payments
and receipts both occur within the trust fund group.
Offsetting receipts are generally deducted from budget
authority and outlays by function, subfunction, or agency.
There are four types of receipts, however, that are deducted
from budget totals as undistributed offsetting receipts. They
are: (1) agen cies’ pay ments (in clud ing pay ments by
off-budget Federal entities) as employers into employees’ retirement funds; (2) interest received by trust funds; (3) rents
and royalties on the Outer Continental Shelf lands; and (4)
other interest (i.e., that collected on Outer Continental Shelf
money in deposit funds when such money is transferred into
the budget).
The Government has used the unified budget concept set
forth in the “ Report of the President’s Commission on Budget
Concepts” as a foundation for its budgetary analysis and presentation since 1969. The concept calls for the budget to include all of the Government’s fiscal transactions with the
public. Since 1971, however, various laws have been enacted
removing several Federal entities from (or creating them outside of) the budget. Other laws have moved certain off-budget
Federal entities onto the budget. Under current law, the
off-budget Federal entities consist of the two Social Security
trust funds, Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance and the
Federal Disability Insurance Trust Fund, and the Postal Service.
Although an off-budget Federal entity’s receipts, outlays,
and surplus or deficit ordinarily are not subject to targets set by
the Congressional resolution, the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 [commonly known as the
Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Act as amended by the Budget Enforce ment Act of 1990 (2 U.S.C. 900-922)] in cluded
off-budget surplus or deficit in calculating deficit targets under that act and in calculating excess deficit. Partly for this reason, attention has focused on both on- and off-budget receipts,
outlays, and deficit of the Government.
Tables FFO-1, FFO-2, and FFO-3 are published quarterly and cover 5 years of data, estimates for 2 years, detail for
13 months, and fiscal year-to-date data. They provide a summary of data relating to Federal fiscal operations reported by
Federal entities and disbursing officers, and daily reports from

and liabilities of the Government. Data are derived from the

outlays, and surplus or deficit, as well as transactions in Federal securities, monetary assets and balances in Treasury operating cash.
! Table FFO-2 includes on- and off-budget receipts by

! Table FFO-4 summarizes internal revenue collections
by States and other areas and by type of tax. Amounts reported
are collections made in a fiscal year. They span several tax liability years because they consist of prepayments (i.e., estimated tax payments and taxes withheld by employers for
individual income and Social Security taxes), payments made
with tax returns and subsequent payments made after tax returns are due or are filed (i.e., payments with delinquent returns or on delinquent accounts).
It is important to note that these data do not necessarily reflect the Federal tax burden of individual States. Amounts are
reported based on the primary filing address provided by each
taxpayer or reporting entity. For multistate corporations, the
address may reflect only the State where such a corporation reported its taxes from a principal office rather than other States
where income was earned or where individual income and Social Security taxes were withheld. In addition, an individual
may reside in one State and work in another.

net of refunds, were $269.8 billion for the third quarter of fiscal
1998. This is an increase of $30.5 billion over the comparable
prior year quarter. Withheld receipts increased by $11.7 billion
and non-withheld receipts increased by $20.7 billion during this
period. Refunds increased by $1.9 billion over the comparable
fiscal 1997 quarter. There was a decrease of $4.1 billion in accounting adjustments between individual income tax receipts
and the Social Security and Medicare trust funds over the comparable quarter in fiscal 1997.
Corporation income taxes—Net corporate income tax receipts were $70.4 billion for the third quarter of fiscal 1998.
This is a decrease of $0.6 billion compared to the prior year
third quarter. This $0.6 billion figure is composed of increased
refunds of $1.2 billion, less an increase in estimated and final
payments of $0.6 billion.
Employment taxes and contributions—Employment
taxes and contributions receipts for the third quarter were
$153.9 billion, an increase of $15.4 billion over the comparable
prior year quarter. Receipts to the Old-Age Survivors Insurance, Disability Insurance, and Hospital Insurance trust funds
increased by $9.7 billion, $1.3 billion and $4.2 billion, respectively. There was a $2.2 billion accounting adjustment for prior

years’ employment tax liabilities made in the third quarter of
fiscal 1998, while there was a -$1.9 billion adjustment made
in the third quarter of fiscal 1997.
Unemployment insurance—Unemployment insurance
receipts were $13.2 billion for the third quarter of fiscal
1998, a $0.7 billion (4.9 percent) decline over third quarter
fiscal 1997 receipts. State deposits decreased $0.9 billion to
$9.8 billion. Federal unemployment taxes increased $0.2 billion to $3.4 billion. Railroad receipts increased negligibly.
Con tri bu tions for other in sur ance and re tirement—Contributions for other retirement were $1.1 billion
for the third quarter of fiscal 1998. There was a negligible increase over receipts from the comparable quarter of fiscal
1997. The growth in contributions will remain flat over the
next few years as the number of employees covered by the
Federal employees’ retirement system (FERS) grows slowly
relative to those covered under the civil service retirement
system (CSRS).
Excise taxes—Net excise tax receipts for the third quarter of fiscal 1998 were $16.0 billion, an increase of $1.2 billion over the comparable prior year quarter. Total excise tax
refunds for the quarter were $0.2 billion, a decrease of $0.2
billion over the comparable prior year quarter.
Estate and gift taxes—Net estate and gift tax receipts
were $7.8 billion for the third quarter of fiscal 1998. These
receipts represent an increase of $2.7 billion over the previous quarter and an increase of $1.6 billion over the same
quarter in fiscal 1997.

INTRODUCTION: Source and Availability of the
Balance in the Account of the U.S. Treasury
The Treasury’s operating cash is maintained in accounts
with the Federal Reserve Banks (FRBs) and branches, as well
as in tax and loan accounts in other financial institutions. Major information sources include the Daily Balance Wire received from the FRBs and branches, and electronic transfers
through the Letter of Credit Payment, Fedline Payment, and
Fedwire Deposit Systems. As the FRB accounts are depleted,
funds are called in (withdrawn) from thousands of tax and loan
accounts at financial institutions throughout the country.

Note Option. The program permits Treasury to collect funds
through financial institutions and to leave the funds in Note
Option depositaries and in the financial communities in which
they arise until Treasury needs the funds for its operations. In
this way, Treasury is able to neutralize the effect of its fluctuating operations on Note Option financial institution reserves
and on the economy. Likewise, those institutions wishing to
remit the funds to the Treasury’s account at FRBs do so under
the Remittance Option.

Under authority of Public Law 95-147, Treasury implemented a program on November 2, 1978, to invest a portion of
its operating cash in obligations of depositaries maintaining
tax and loan accounts. Under the Treasury tax and loan investment program, depositary financial institutions select the
manner in which they will participate. Financial institutions
wishing to retain funds deposited into their tax and loan accounts in interest-bearing obligations participate under the

Deposits to tax and loan accounts occur as customers of
financial institutions deposit tax payments, which the financial institutions use to purchase Government securities. In
most cases, this involves a transfer of funds from a customer’s
account to the tax and loan account in the same financial institution. Also, Treasury can direct the FRBs to invest excess
funds in tax and loan accounts directly from the Treasury account at the FRBs.

INTRODUCTION: Federal Debt
Treasury securities (i.e., public debt securities) comprise
most of the Federal debt, with securities issued by other Federal
agencies accounting for the rest. Tables in this section of the
“Treasury Bulletin” reflect the total. Further detailed information is published in the “Monthly Statement of the Public Debt
of the United States.” Likewise, information on agency securities and on investments of Federal Government accounts in
Federal securities is published in the “Monthly Treasury Statement of Receipts and Outlays of the United States Government.”
• Table FD-1 summarizes the Federal debt by listing public debt and agency securities held by the public, including the
Federal Reserve. It also includes debt held by Federal agencies,
largely by the Social Security and other Federal retirement trust
funds. The net unamortized premium and discount also are
listed by total Federal securities, securities held by Government accounts, and securities held by the public. The difference between the outstanding face value of the Federal debt
and the net unamortized premium and discount is classified as
the accrual amount. (For greater detail on holdings of Federal
securities by particular classes of investors, see the ownership
ta bles, OFS-1 and OFS-2.)
• Table FD-2 categorizes by type interest-bearing marketable and nonmarketable Treasury securities. The difference
between interest-bearing and total public debt securities reflects outstanding matured Treasury securities—that is, unredeemed securities that have matured and are no longer accruing
interest. Because the Federal Financing Bank is under the supervision of Treasury, its securities are held by a U.S. Government ac count.
• In table FD-3, nonmarketable Treasury securities held by
U.S. Government accounts are summarized by issues to particular funds within Government. Many of the funds invest in par
value special series nonmarketables at interest rates determined by law. Others invest in market-based special Treasury
securities whose terms mirror those of marketablesecurities.
• Table FD-4 presents interest-bearing securities issued by
Government agencies. Federal agency borrowing has declined
in recent years, in part because the Federal Financing Bank has
provided financing to other Federal agencies. (Federal agency

borrowing from Treasury is presented in the “Monthly Treasury Statement of Receipts and Outlays of the United States
Government.”)
• Table FD-5 illustrates the average length of marketable
interest-bearing public debt held by private investors and the
maturity distribution of that debt. The average length has increased gradually since it hit a low of 2 years, 5 months in December 1975. It had reached a high of 6 years, 4 months in May
1991. The average length has decreased over time so that during most of 1996 the average length has been at 5 years, 3
months. In March 1971, Congress enacted a limited exception
to the amount of bonds with rates greater than 4-1/4 percent
that could be held by the public. This permitted Treasury to offer securities maturing in more than 7 years at current market
rates of interest for the first time since 1965. In March 1976 the
definition of a bond was changed to include those securities
longer than 10 years to maturity. This exception has expanded
since 1971 authorizing Treasury to continue to issue long-term
securities, and the ceiling on Treasury bonds was repealed on
November 10, 1988. The volume of privately held Treasury
marketable securities by maturity class reflects the remaining
period to maturity of Treasury bills, notes and bonds. The average length is comprised of an average of remaining periods to
maturity, weighted by the amount of each security held by private investors. In other words, computations of average length
ex clude Gov ern ment ac counts and the Fed eral Re serve Banks.
• In table FD-6, the debt ceiling is compared with the outstanding debt subject to limitation by law. The other debt category includes Federal debt Congress has designated as being
subject to the debt ceiling. Changes in the non-interest-bearing
debt shown in the last column reflect maturities of Treasury securities on nonbusiness days, which can be redeemed on the
next busi ness day.
• Table FD-7 details Treasury holdings of securities issued
by Government corporations and other agencies. Certain Federal agencies are authorized to borrow money from the Treasury, largely to finance direct loan programs. In addition,
agencies such as the Bonneville Power Administration are authorized to borrow from the Treasury to finance capital projects. Treasury, in turn, finances these loans by selling Treasury
se cu ri ties to the pub lic.

INTRODUCTION: Public Debt Operations
Chapter 31 of Title 31 of the United States Code allows
the Secretary of the Treasury to borrow money by issuing
Treasury securities. The Secretary determines the terms and
conditions of issue, conversion, maturity, payment, and interest rate. New issues of Treasury notes mature in 2 to 10 years.
Bonds mature in more than 10 years from the issue date. Each
marketable security is listed in the “Monthly Statement of the
Public Debt of the United States.” The information in this section of the “Treasury Bulletin” pertains only to marketable
Treasury securities, current bills, notes, and bonds.
• Table PDO-1 provides a maturity schedule of interest-bearing marketable public debt securities other than regular weekly and 52-week bills. All unmatured Treasury notes
and bonds are listed in maturity order, from earliest to latest. A
separate breakout is provided for the combined holdings of the
Government accounts and Federal Reserve Banks, so that the
“all other investors” category includes all private holdings.
• Table PDO-2 presents the results of weekly auctions of
13- and 26-week bills, as well as auctions of 52-week bills,
which are held every 4 weeks. Treasury bills mature each
Thursday. New issues of 13-week bills are reopenings of

26-week bills. The 26-week bill issued every fourth week to
mature on the same Thursday as an existing 52-week bill is a
reopening of the existing 52-week bill. New issues of cash
management bills are also presented. High, low, and average
yields on accepted tenders and the dollar value of total bids are
presented, with the dollar value of awards made on both competitive and noncompetitive basis.
Treasury accepts noncompetitive tenders of up to $1 million for bills and $5 million for notes and bonds in each auction
of securities to encourage participation of individuals and
smaller institutions.
• Table PDO-3 lists the results of auctions of marketable
securities, other than weekly bills, in chronological order over
the past 2 years. Included are: notes and bonds from table
PDO-1; 52-week bills from table PDO-2, and data for cash
management bills.
• Table PDO-4 indicates the total amount of marketable
securities allotted to each class of investor. The Federal Reserve Banks tally into investor classes the tenders in each auction of marketable securities other than weekly auctions of 13and 26-week bills.

INTRODUCTION: Ownership of Federal Securities
Federal securities presented in the following tables are
public debt securities such as savings bonds, bills, notes, and
bonds that the Treasury issues. The tables also detail debt issued by other Federal agencies under special financing authorities. [See the Federal debt (FD) tables for a more complete
description of the Federal debt.]
• Table OFS-1 presents Treasury marketable and nonmarketable securities and debt issued by other Federal agencies
held by Government accounts, the Federal Reserve banks, and
private investors. Social Security and Federal retirement trust
fund investments comprise much of the Government account
holdings.

The Federal Reserve banks acquire Treasury securities in
the market as a means of executing monetary policy.
• Table OFS-2 presents the estimated amount of public
debt securities held by private investors. Information is obtained from sources such as the Federal financial institution
regulatory agencies. State, local, and foreign holdings include
special issues of nonmarketable securities to municipal entities and foreign official accounts. They also include municipal, foreign official, and private holdings of marketable
Treasury securities. (See footnotes to the table for description
of investor categories.)

INTRODUCTION: Market Yields
The tables and charts in this section present yields on
Treasury marketable securities, and compare long-term yields
on Treasury securities with yields on long-term corporate and
municipal securities.
• Table MY-1 lists Treasury market bid yields at constant
maturities for bills, notes, and bonds. The Treasury yield curve
in the accompanying chart is based on current market bid quotations on the most actively traded Treasury securities as of
3:30 p.m. on the last business day of the calendar quarter.
The Treasury uses quotations obtained by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to derive the yield curve, based on
semiannual interest payments and read at constant maturity
points to develop a consistent data series. Yields on Treasury
bills are coupon equivalent yields of bank discount rates at
which Treasury bills trade in the market. The Board of Gover-

nors of the Federal Reserve System publishes the Treasury
constant maturity data series in its weekly H.15 press release.
• Table MY-2 shows average yields of long-term Treasury, corporate, and municipal bonds. The long-term Treasury
average yield is the 30-year constant maturity yield. The corporate bond average yield is developed by Treasury by calculating reoffering yields on new long-term securities maturing
in at least 20 years and rated Aa by Moody’s Investors Service.
The municipal bond average yield prior to 1991 was compiled
by Treasury. Beginning with January 1991, the average yield
is the “Municipal Bond Yield Average,” published by
Moody’s Investors Service for 20-year reoffering yields on selected Aa-rated general obligations. See the footnotes for further explanation.

INTRODUCTION: U.S. Currency and Coin Outstanding and in Circulation
The U.S. Currency and Coin Outstanding and in Circulation (USCC) statement informs the public of the total face
value of currency and coin used as a medium of exchange that
is in circulation at the end of a given accounting month. The
statement defines the total amount of currency and coin outstanding and the portion deemed to be in circulation. It includes some old and current rare issues that do not circulate or
that may do so to a limited extent. Treasury includes them in
the statement because the issues were originally intended for
general circulation.

The USCC statement provides a description of the various issues of paper money. It also gives an estimated average
of currency and coin held by each individual, using estimates
of population from the Bureau of the Census. USCC information has been published by Treasury since 1888, and was published separately until 1983, when it was incorporated into the
“Treasury Bulletin.” The USCC comes from monthly reports
compiled by Treasury offices, various U.S. Mint offices, the
Federal Reserve Banks and the Federal Reserve Board.

INTRODUCTION: Capital Movements
Treasury collects information about the transference of financial assets and other portfolio capital movements between
the United States and foreigners and has since 1935. Commercial banks and other depository institutions, bank holding companies, secu ri ties 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 International Financial Analysis, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Economic Policy, Department of the Treasury,
Washington, D.C., 20220 or from 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.
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 specified 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 31, they also report
the same liabilities and claims items attributed to foreigners in
countries not shown separately on the monthly reports. Quarterly reports are filed for liabilities and claims denominated in
foreign currencies. 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 report

securities transactions with foreigners if their aggregate purchases or their aggregate sales amount to at least $2 million
during the covered month.
Exporters, importers, industrial and commercial concerns,
financial institutions (other than banks, other depository institutions and brokers) and other nonbanking enterprises must
file reports quarterly if liabilities to or claims on, unaffiliated
foreigners amount to $10 million or more at the end of the covered quarter.
Nonbanking enterprises also report each month their aggregate U.S. dollar 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 or with
their foreign parent companies (own foreign offices) and capital transactions of the U.S. Government. Consolidated data on
all 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 their
custody liabilities to foreigners.
• Section II presents claims on foreigners reported by U.S.
banks and other depository institutions, brokers and dealers.
Data on banks’ claims held for their own account are collected
monthly. Information on claims held for their domestic customers as well as on 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.
• Section IV shows the liabilities to and claims on, unaffiliated foreigners of 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

CAPITAL MOVEMENTS

forms. Data exclude claims on foreigners held through banks
in the United States.
• Section V contains information on transactions with foreigners in long-term domestic and foreign securities as 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. However, the data do not include nonmarketable Treasury bonds and notes shown in table IFS-3.

65

The geographical breakdown of the transactions data does
not necessarily reflect the domicile of 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 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.

INTRODUCTION: Foreign Currency Positions
The “Treasury Bulletin” reports foreign currency holdings
of large foreign exchange market participants. These reports
provide information on positions in derivative instruments,
such as foreign exchange futures and options, that are increasingly used in establishing foreign exchange positions but were
not covered in the old reports.
The information is based on reports of large foreign exchange market participants on holdings of five major foreign
currencies (Canadian dollar, German mark, Japanese yen,
Swiss franc, and pound sterling). U.S.-based businesses file a
consolidated report for their domestic and foreign subsidiaries, branches and agencies. U.S. subsidiaries of foreign entities file only for themselves, not for their foreign parents.
Filing is required by law (31 U.S.C. 5315; 31 C.F.R. 128,
Subpart C).
Weekly and monthly reports must be filed throughout the
calendar year by major foreign exchange market participants,
which are defined as market participants with more than $50
billion equivalent in foreign exchange contracts on the last
business day of any calendar quarter during the previous year
(end March, June, September, or December). Such contracts
include the amounts of foreign exchange spot contracts
bought and sold, foreign exchange forward contracts bought
and sold, foreign exchange futures bought and sold and one
half the notional amount of foreign exchange options bought
and sold. Exemptions from filing the monthly report are given
to banking institutions that file the Federal Financial Institu-

tion Examination Council (FFIEC) 035 report (“Monthly
Consolidated Foreign Currency Report”).
A quarterly report must be filed throughout the calendar
year by each foreign exchange market participant that had
more than $1 billion equivalent in foreign exchange contracts
on the last business day of any quarter the previous year (end
March, June, September, or December). Exemptions from filing the quarterly report are given to major nonbank market
participants that file weekly and monthly reports and banking
institutions that file FFIEC 035 reports.
This information is published in five sections corresponding to each of the major currencies covered by the reports. Tables I-1 through V-1 present the foreign currency data
reported weekly by major market participants. Tables I-2
through V-2 present more detailed currency data of major
market participants, based on monthly Treasury and FFIEC
035 reports. Tables I-3 through V-3 present quarterly consolidated foreign currency data reported by large market participants and FFIEC reporters that do not file weekly reports.
Principal exchanged under cross currency interest rate
swaps is reported as part of purchases or sales of foreign exchange. Such principal also is separately noted on monthly
and quarterly reports. The net options position, or the net
delta-equivalent value of an options position, is an estimate of
the relationship between an option’s value and an equivalent
currency hedge. The delta equivalent value is defined as the
product of the first partial derivative of an option valuation
formula (with respect to the price of the underlying currency)
multiplied by the notional principal of the contract.

INTRODUCTION: Exchange Stabilization Fund
To stabilize the exchange value of the dollar, the Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF) was established under the
Gold Reserve Act of January 30, 1934 (31 U.S.C. 5302),
which authorized establishment of a Treasury Department
fund to be operated under the exclusive control of the Secretary, with approval of the President.
Subsequent amendment of the Gold Reserve Act modified the original purpose somewhat to reflect termination of
the fixed exchange rate system.
Resources of the fund include dollar balances, partially
invested in U.S. Government securities, special drawing
rights (SDRs), and balances of foreign currencies. Principal
sources of income (+) or loss (-) for the fund are profits (+) or
losses (-) on SDRs and foreign exchange, as well as interest
earned on assets.

• Table ESF-1 presents the assets, liabilities, and capital
of the fund. The figures are in U.S. dollars or their equivalents
based on current exchange rates computed according to the accrual method of accounting. The capital account represents the
original capital appropriated to the fund by Congress of $2 billion, minus a subsequent transfer of $1.8 billion to pay for the
initial U.S. quota subscription to the IMF. Gains and losses are
reflected in the cumulative net income (+) or loss (-) account.
• Table ESF-2 shows the results of operations by quarter.
Figures are in U.S. dollars or their equivalents computed according to the accrual method. “Profit (+) or loss (-) on foreign
exchange” includes realized profits or losses. “Adjustment for
change in valuation of SDR holdings and allocations” reflects
net gain or loss on revaluation of SDR holdings and allocations
for the quarter.

Beginning July 1974, the International Monetary Fund adopted a technique for valuing the
special drawing rights (SDRs) based on a weighted average of exchange rates for the currencies of selected member countries. The U.S. SDR holdings and allocations are valued on this
basis beginning July 1974.

Excludes foreign exchange transactions for future and spot delivery.

Note.—Annual balance sheets for fiscal years 1934 through 1940 appeared in the 1940
“Annual Report of the Secretary of the Treasury” and those for succeeding years appeared in
subsequent reports through 1980. Quarterly balance sheets beginning with December 31,
1938, have been published in the “Treasury Bulletin.” Data from inception to September 30,
1978, may be found on the statements published in the January 1979 “Treasury Bulletin.”

INTRODUCTION: Trust Funds
The tables and charts in this section present the most recent data available on various trust funds administered by the
Treasury. Trust funds are moneys held by the Government in
accounts established by law or by trust agreement for specific
purposes and designated by law as being trust funds.
This report compiles data from many sources and provides information in a consolidated manner.
The Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund is operated by the Office of Personnel Management. The Federal
Hospital Insurance and Federal Supplementary Medical Insurance Trust Funds are under the auspices of the Department
of Health and Human Services’ Health Care Financing Administration. The Federal Old-age and Survivors Insurance
and Federal Disability Insurance Trust Funds are administered
by Social Security.

In addition, the Department of Veterans Affairs’ Veterans
Benefits Administration disburses the National Service Life
Insurance Fund. And the Department of Labor, Employment
and Training Administration is responsible for the Unemployment Trust Fund.
Data for the Railroad Retirement Trust Fund are also included in this section. That trust fund is administered by the
Railroad Retirement Board, an independent agency.
The following tables are published in the December issue
of the “Treasury Bulletin” each year. Most of the data for the
tables came from the “Monthly Treasury Statement of Receipts and Outlays of the United States Government,” in which
monthly data are published. Estimated figures are based on the
“Budget of the United States Government, Fiscal Year 1999,”
released February 2, 1998.

TABLE TF-15A.—Highway Trust Fund
The following information is released according to the
provisions of the Byrd Amendment to the Intermodal Surface
Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 and represents data
concerning the Highway Trust Fund. The figure described as
“unfunded authorizations” is the latest estimate received from
the Department of Transportation for fiscal 1996. The 24- and

12-month revenue estimates for the highway and mass transit
accounts, respectively, include the latest estimates received
from the Department of Treasury’s Office of Tax Analysis for
excise taxes, net of refunds. They represent net highway receipts for those periods beginning at the close of fiscal 1996.

Glossary
With References to Applicable Sections and Tables
Source: Financial Management Service
Accrued discount (SBN-1, -2, -3)—Interest that accumulates
on savings bonds from the date of purchase until the date of redemption or final maturity, whichever comes first. Series A, B,
C, D, E, EE, F, I and J are discount or accrual type
bonds—meaning principal and interest are paid when bonds
are redeemed. Series G, H, HH, and K are current-income
bonds, and the semiannual interest paid to their holders is not
included in accrued discount.
Amounts outstanding and in circulation (USCC)—Includes all issues by the Bureau of the Mint purposely intended
as a medium of exchange. Coins sold by the Bureau of the Mint
at premium prices are excluded; however, uncirculated coin
sets sold at face value plus handling charge are included.
Average discount rate (PDO-2, -3)—In Treasury bill auctions, purchasers tender competitive bids on a discount rate basis. The average discount rate is the weighted, or adjusted,
average of all bids accepted in the auction.
Budget authority (“Federal Fiscal Operations”)—Congress passes laws giving budget authority to Government entities, which gives the agencies the power to spend Federal
funds. Congress can stipulate various criteria for the spending
of these funds. For example, Congress can stipulate that a
given agency must spend within a specific year, number of
years, or any time in the future.
The basic forms of budget authority are appropriations, authority to borrow, contract authority, and authority to obligate
and expend offsetting receipts and collections. The period of
time during which Congress makes funds available may be
specified as 1-year, multiple-year, or no-year. The available
amount may be classified as either definite or indefinite; a specific amount or an unspecified amount can be made available.
Authority may also be classified as current or permanent. Permanent authority requires no current action by Congress.
Budget deficit—The total, cumulative amount by which budget outlays (spending) exceed budget receipts (income).
Cash management bills (PDO-2)—Marketable Treasury
bills of irregular maturity lengths, sold periodically to fund
short-term cash needs of Treasury. Their sale, having higher
minimum and multiple purchase requirements than those of
other issues, is generally restricted to competitive bidders.
Com pet i tive ten ders (“Treasury Fi nancing Op er ations”)—A bid to purchase a stated amount of one issue of
Treasury securities at a specified yield or discount. The bid is
accepted if it is within the range accepted in the auction. (See

Debt outstanding subject to limitation (FD-6)—The debt
incurred by the Treasury subject to the statutory limit set by
Congress. Until World War I, a specific amount of debt was
authorized to each separate security issue. Beginning with the
Second Liberty Loan Act of 1917, the nature of the limitation

on the outstanding Federal debt. As of September 1998, the
debt limit was $5,950,000 million; the limit may change from
year to year.
The debt subject to limitation includes most of Treasury’s
public debt except securities issued to the Federal Financing
Bank, upon which there is a limitation of $15 billion, and certain categories of older debt (totaling approximately $595 million as of February 1991).
Discount—The interest deducted in advance when purchasing notes or bonds. (See Accrued discount.)
Discount rate (PDO-2)—The difference between par value

coins.

non-interest-bearing securities issued periodically by Treasury to the Resolution Funding Corporation (RFC) for investment of funds authorized under section 21B of the Federal
