Profile of the Economy
[Source: Office of Macroeconomic Analysis]
As of November 4, 2016

Introduction
Economic growth accelerated noticeably in the third
quarter of 2016, as solid boosts from consumer spending, net
exports, and private investment, as well as positive
contributions from federal government spending and
nonresidential fixed investment were partly offset by
negative contributions from residential fixed investment and
State and local government spending. Labor market
conditions continued to improve, and the unemployment rate
stood at 4.9 percent in October 2016, close to full
employment. Inflation has edged up a bit, as the effects of
past declines in energy prices have dissipated, but it remains
relatively low.
The Administration has taken a number of steps in recent
years to promote stronger economic growth in the near term
and put the deficit and debt on a sustainable path over the
longer term. Since 2009, the budget deficit has been reduced
by nearly $4 trillion (including the deep cuts imposed by
sequestration). The federal budget deficit fell from a peak of
9.8 percent of GDP in fiscal year 2009 to an 8-year low of
2.5 percent in fiscal year 2015. It rose a bit to 3.2 percent of
GDP in fiscal year 2016. The Mid-Session Review of the
FY2017 Budget projects the deficit will decline to 1.7
percent of GDP in fiscal year 2018 and then stabilize at 2.3
percent of GDP through the end of the forecast period in
fiscal year 2026.
At its latest meeting in November 2016, the Federal
Reserve’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC)
maintained the target range for the federal funds rate at 0.25
to 0.50 percent. At that meeting, the FOMC announced it
would maintain existing programs for reinvestment of
principal payments and roll-overs of maturing Treasuries at
auction. The Committee noted the “current shortfall of
inflation from 2 percent” and reiterated that, “the stance of
monetary policy remains accommodative, thereby
supporting further improvement in labor market conditions
and a return to 2 percent inflation.”

Economic Growth
Since the current expansion began in mid-2009, the
economy has grown by 16.3 percent and, as of the third
quarter of 2016, real GDP was 11.4 percent above its level at
the end of 2007, when the recession began. According to the
advance estimate, real GDP rose 2.9 percent at an annual
rate in the third quarter of 2016, picking up from a 1.4
percent increase in the second quarter. Consumer spending
and net exports grew solidly in the third quarter, making
sizeable contributions to overall GDP growth. Residential

investment declined for the second-straight quarter, posing a
small drag on real GDP growth. Business fixed investment
grew modestly, reflecting a pick-up in nonresidential
investment in structures (which had fallen in five of the
previous six quarters due to earlier drops in oil and gas
drilling). After making a negative contribution in the second
quarter to real GDP growth, total government spending
made a small addition to growth, although State and local
government spending declined for the second-straight
quarter. Net exports contributed to GDP growth, reflecting
much stronger growth in exports than in imports. After
posing a large drag on GDP growth for five straight quarters,
private inventory accumulation added solidly to growth in
the third quarter.
Real personal consumption expenditures—which
account for about 68 percent of GDP—rose at a 2.1 percent
annual rate in the third quarter, slowing from a 4.3 percent
rate in the second quarter. Across spending categories,
consumption growth was notably faster for durables;
consumer durables purchases grew 9.5 percent, comparable
to the 9.8 percent surge in the second quarter, while
consumption of nondurables declined 1.4 percent in the third
quarter, after growing 5.7 percent in the previous quarter.
Services consumption rose 2.1 percent (after the second
quarter’s 3.0 percent advance). Altogether, consumption
contributed 1.5 percentage points to real GDP growth in the
third quarter.

PROFILE OF THE ECONOMY

Housing activity fell in the third quarter, as it had in the
second quarter, but these back-to-back declines occurred
after eight straight quarters of very strong growth.
Residential investment declined 6.2 percent at an annual rate
in the third quarter, somewhat less than the 7.8 percent drop
in the second quarter. Residential activity accounts for just
over 3-½ percent of GDP and posed a drag of 0.2 percentage
point on third-quarter real GDP growth.
Home building and home sales remain on a gradual
upward trend. Single-family housing starts gained 5.4
percent over the year through September 2016 to an annual
rate of 783,000 units. However, single-family starts remain
57 percent below their January 2006 peak and well below
the 1.1 million unit average observed from 1980 to 2004.
Multi-family starts plunged 40.8 percent over the year
through September 2016, and are 38.0 percent below prerecession levels. Sales of new single-family homes rose 29.8
percent over the year through September 2016 to a 593,000
annual rate. Sales of existing homes (94 percent of all home
sales, including single-family, condos and co-ops) increased
0.6 percent over the year to a 5.5 million rate in September
2016.
Nonresidential fixed investment—nearly 13 percent of
GDP—rose 1.1 percent at an annual rate in the third quarter
of 2016, following a 1.0 percent advance in the second
quarter. Growth of business spending on intellectual
property products—including outlays for software, research
and development, and entertainment, literary and
artistic originals—advanced 4.0 percent on top of a 9.0
percent gain in the second quarter. In contrast, equipment
investment fell 2.7 percent in the third quarter, extending a
3.0 percent decline in the second quarter. Business outlays
for structures advanced 5.4 percent, after falling 2.1 percent
in the second quarter. Altogether, nonresidential fixed
investment added nearly 0.2 percentage point to real GDP
growth in the third quarter, roughly comparable to the 0.1
percentage point contribution in the second quarter. Finally,
businesses added to inventories in the third quarter, after
liquidating them in the second quarter. The resulting change
in private inventories added 0.6 percentage point to thirdquarter real GDP growth, after subtracting 1.2 percentage
points in the second quarter.
Exports account for about 12-½ percent of GDP, while
imports (which are subtracted from total domestic spending
to calculate GDP) account for about 15-½ percent. In the
third quarter of 2016, exports jumped 10.0 percent and
imports grew 2.4 percent. The net export deficit improved,
contributing 0.8 percentage point to real GDP growth in
the third quarter after adding 0.2 percent point in the second
quarter.
The current account balance (reflecting international
trade in goods and services as well as investment income
flows and unilateral transfers) has been in deficit almost
continuously since the early 1980s and in 2006 reached a
record $807 billion, equivalent to 5.8 percent of GDP. The
current account deficit narrowed sharply during the

December 2016

recession to $384 billion (2.7 percent of GDP) in 2009. It
has widened somewhat since then but remains well below its
2006 peak. In the second quarter of 2016 (latest data
available), the current account deficit narrowed to $480
billion (annualized), or 2.6 percent of GDP.
Government purchases—which account for close to 18
percent of GDP—contributed modestly on net to economic
growth in 2015 after subtracting from GDP growth in each
of the previous 4 years. However, in the third quarter,
government outlays increased 0.5 percent, after declining 1.7
percent in the second quarter, and added 0.1 percentage
point to real GDP growth. At the federal level, spending
advanced 2.5 percent, after a 0.4 percent decline in the
second quarter. State and local government spending
declined 0.7 percent, following a 2.5 percent decline in the
second quarter. State and local government spending
declined for 13 straight quarters from the fourth quarter of
2009 through the fourth quarter of 2012, but has risen in all
but five quarters since then. Similarly, spending cutbacks at
the federal level restrained overall growth from 2011
through 2014.
Labor Markets
During the recession (from December 2007 through June
2009), the economy lost 7.4 million jobs. Job losses
continued even after the recovery began, but February 2010
was the low point and employment rose in March of that
year. Since then, through October 2016, total nonfarm
payroll employment has increased by 15.2 million. Privatesector employment has risen 15.5 million.
Job losses during the recession were spread broadly
across most sectors but, with the resumption of job growth,
all of these sectors have added jobs. Since the labor market
recovery began in early 2010, payrolls in professional and
business services have risen by 3.9 million, and the leisure
and hospitality industry’s employment has increased by
more than 2.6 million through October 2016. Employment in
the manufacturing sector has expanded by 805,000 since
early 2010 and the construction sector has added 1.2 million
workers to its payrolls. A few sectors added jobs throughout
the recession and continue to hire new workers: since early
2010, the health care and social assistance sector has added
an additional 2.6 million jobs. On a net basis, the
government sector also added workers to payrolls during the
recession, although payrolls began declining late in 2008 and
trended lower until early 2014. Government employment has
increased since then but growth has been uneven. From
January 2014 through October 2016, the government sector
has added just 428,000 jobs. Much of that growth occurred
at the local level with the addition of 271,000 positions.
Federal government employment has risen by 82,000 during
this period and state government employment has increased
by 75,000.
The unemployment rate peaked in October 2009 at a 26year high of 10.0 percent—5.4 percentage points above the
4.6 percent average that prevailed in 2006 and 2007, before

PROFILE OF THE ECONOMY

the recession began. Since then, the unemployment rate has
trended lower and in October 2016 stood at 4.9 percent.
Broader measures of unemployment have also declined
but are still elevated compared with pre-recession levels.
The broadest measure, which includes workers who are
underemployed and those who are only marginally attached
to the labor force (the U-6 unemployment rate), has fallen
from a record high of 17.1 percent in late 2009 and early
2010 to 9.5 percent in October 2016. The U-6
unemployment rate averaged 8.3 percent in the 2 years prior
to the last recession. The percentage of the unemployed who
have been out of work for 27 weeks or more also remains
elevated relative to its pre-recession average. In October
2016, 25.2 percent of unemployed workers were included in
this category compared with readings around 17.5 percent
before the recession.

Inflation
Over the past year, headline and core inflation rates have
accelerated somewhat, as the effects of earlier declines in
energy prices have started to recede, but rates remain
relatively low nonetheless. Headline consumer prices rose
1.5 percent over the 12 months ending in September 2016,
after a flat reading during the previous year. Energy prices
fell 2.9 percent over the year through September 2016, a
smaller decline than the 18.4 percent plunge over the year
through September 2015. Food and beverage prices fell 0.3
percent over the year through September 2016, in contrast
with a 1.6 percent increase over the 12 months ending in
September 2015. On a 12-month basis, core consumer prices
(excluding food and energy) rose 2.2 percent through
September 2016, higher than the 1.9 percent advance in the
year ending in September 2015. Core inflation had been near

5

or below 2 percent from early 2013 through late 2015, but
over the past several months has been higher.
Oil and gasoline prices fell sharply between mid-2014
and early 2015. They trended higher in the spring and early
summer of 2015, but resumed a declining trend through
early 2016, reaching their lowest levels since early 2009.
Since then, prices have trended broadly higher. The frontmonth futures price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude
oil averaged $49.94 per barrel in October 2016, roughly
$3.65 above its October 2015 average, and $4.75 above its
September 2016 average. The retail price of regular gasoline
averaged $2.23 per gallon in October 2016, unchanged from
a year earlier, but 1 cent higher than its September 2016
average. The retail price of regular gasoline averaged $2.23
per gallon in October 2016, unchanged from a year earlier,
but 1 cent higher than its September 2016 average.
Home prices have continued to rise. While the pace of
increase remains below that observed in mid-2013, it far
exceeds the increases in broad measures of consumer prices.
The FHFA purchase-only home price index rose 6.4 percent
over the year ending in August 2016, down from peak rates
of around 8 percent in mid-2013. The Standard and Poor’s
(S&P)/Case-Shiller composite 20-city home price index rose
5.1 percent over the year ending in August 2016, down from
a peak of 13.8 percent in November 2013.

Federal Budget and Debt
The federal budget deficit declined to $438 billion (2.5
percent of GDP) in fiscal year 2015, reaching an eight-year
low, but rose to $587 billion (3.2 percent of GDP) in fiscal
year 2016. The deficit is now 6.6 percentage points below
the peak of 9.8 percent reached in fiscal year 2009. Debt
held by the public rose to $14.2 trillion at the end of fiscal

December 2016

PROFILE OF THE ECONOMY

year 2016. As a share of the economy, publicly held debt
rose to 77.1 percent of GDP in fiscal year 2016, from 73.7
percent at the end of fiscal year 2015.
In February 2016, the Administration released its Fiscal
Year 2017 Budget. The Mid-Session Review of the FY2017
Budget, released in July 2016, projected the federal budget
deficit in fiscal year 2017 would fiscal year 2007). The
deficit will continue to narrow in 2018, falling to 1.7 percent
of GDP before starting to rise again. Over the projection
period fiscal year 2019 to 2026, the Administration estimates
that the deficit will average 2.3 percent of GDP, down from
2.6 percent estimated in February, and below the 40-year
average of 3.2 percent of GDP. The primary deficit–the
deficit excluding net interest outlays–will decline to a
neutral share of GDP by fiscal year 2018 and then hover
around that level for the rest of the projection period. The
debt-to-GDP ratio is projected to decline gradually from
77.1 percent of GDP to 73.0 percent by fiscal year 2026.

Economic Policy
Key fiscal and monetary policy actions taken over the
past few years aided the recovery and have helped reinforce
the expansion. On the fiscal policy side, the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 authorized
the Federal Government to spend $787 billion to stimulate
domestic demand, an amount that was increased to $840
billion to be consistent with the President’s Fiscal Year 2012
Budget. This spending provided an important boost to
economic activity, but the Administration also proposed and
implemented a variety of additional programs to maintain
the recovery’s momentum. These included an extension and
expansion of the first-time home buyer tax credit, a new
Small Business Jobs and Wages Tax Credit, and additional
financial support for State and local Governments. In
December 2010, the 2010 Tax Relief Act authorized a 2
percentage point payroll tax cut, extensions of

December 2016

unemployment benefits and refundable tax credits, and a 2year extension of the 2001 tax cuts. In late December 2011,
the 2 percentage point payroll tax cut and extended
unemployment benefits included in the 2010 tax legislation
were each extended for 2 additional months. In late February
2012, the extension of the payroll tax cut and extended
unemployment benefits for the remainder of 2012 were
signed into law.
In January 2013, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of
2012 (ATRA) was signed into law. The ATRA permanently
extended tax cuts for the vast majority of Americans and
small businesses, extended Emergency Unemployment
benefits for an additional year, extended a variety of other
tax cuts and credits, postponed the sequester originally
scheduled to take effect on January 1 until March 1, 2013,
and raised tax rates for high-income earners (representing
about 2 percent of taxpayers). Altogether, the ATRA is
projected to reduce the deficit by $737 billion over the next
decade.
At the end of October 2015, Congress passed and the
President signed the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015. The Act
suspended the debt ceiling through March 15, 2017,
established budgetary guidelines for the 2016 and 2017
fiscal years and lessened the burden of sequestration in those
years. Congress passed an omnibus bill in December 2015,
funding the government through September 2016.
On September 28, Congress passed a continuing
resolution (CR) that will fund the federal government
through December 9, 2016. The Senate used H.R. 5325, the
appropriations bill for the Legislative Branch, as the vehicle
to advance the CR and included appropriations for Military
Construction and Veterans affairs, as well as emergency
appropriations to respond to the spread of the Zika virus.
The CR maintains funding levels for other government
functions and agencies, for which appropriations bills have
not passed, at fiscal year 2016 levels.
The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 suspended the debt
ceiling from November 2, 2015, through March 15, 2017.
On March 16, 2017, the debt ceiling will be raised to
accommodate interim borrowing. If no new debt ceiling is
passed or suspended, the Treasury will resort to
extraordinary measures to fund the government’s obligation.
Partly in response to rising financial market stress, as
well as to signs of slowing in the broader economy, the
Federal Reserve began its last cycle of monetary policy
easing in September 2007. By December 2008, the Federal
Open Market Committee (FOMC) had lowered the federal
funds target interest rate to an historically low range of 0 to
0.25 percent. The FOMC maintained this range until
December 2015 and then raised the target range by 25 basis
points to 0.25 to 0.5 percent. At its most recent meeting in
November 2016, the FOMC maintained this range and
reiterated its view, first expressed at the December 2015
meeting, that it “expects economic conditions will evolve in
a manner that will warrant only gradual increases in the
federal funds rate; the federal funds rate is likely to remain,

PROFILE OF THE ECONOMY

for some time, below levels that are expected to prevail in
the longer run.”
During the Great Recession, in addition to lowering the
federal funds rate target, the Federal Reserve significantly
expanded its tools to increase liquidity in credit markets, and
eased lending terms to sectors in need of liquidity, including
a variety of facilities and funds directed at specific financial
markets. As of June 30, 2010, all of these special facilities
had expired. At the August 2010 FOMC meeting, the Federal
Reserve announced it would maintain its holdings of
securities at current levels by reinvesting principal payments
from agency debt and agency mortgage-backed securities in
longer-term Treasury securities and continue rolling over the
Federal Reserve’s holdings of Treasury securities as they
mature. At the end of June 2011, the FOMC completed
purchases of $600 billion of longer-term Treasury securities.
At the September 2011 meeting, the FOMC announced it
would extend the average maturity of its holdings (a socalled “twist” operation) by purchasing $400 billion of
longer-term Treasury securities (6 to 30 years) and selling an
equal amount of shorter-term Treasury securities (3 years or
less), all by the end of June 2012. The Committee also
announced the reinvestment of principal payments from its
holdings of agency debt and agency mortgage-backed
securities into the latter securities. At the June 2012 meeting,
the FOMC extended and expanded its program to extend the
average maturity of its holdings (the so-called “twist”
operation announced in September 2011). At the September
2012 meeting, the FOMC announced it would increase
monetary accommodation through $40 billion per month in
additional purchases of mortgage-backed securities through
the end of the year.
The
FOMC
announced
additional
monetary
accommodation at the December 2012 meeting, including
the completion of short-term securities sales (which drain
liquidity) and the continuation of purchases of long-term
Treasury securities at a rate of $45 billion per month beyond
the end of 2012. The FOMC also indicated that monthly
purchases of mortgage-backed securities at a pace of $40
billion per month would continue, and affirmed its existing
policy of reinvesting principal payments. At its most recent
meeting in November 2016, the Committee indicated that it
is maintaining its existing policy of reinvesting principal
payments from its holdings of agency debt and agency
mortgage-backed securities in agency mortgage-backed
securities, and of rolling over maturing Treasury securities at
auction.” It added that, “it anticipates doing so until
normalization of the level of the federal funds rate is well
under way,” and reiterated that, “this policy, by keeping the
Committee’s holdings of longer-term securities at sizeable
levels, should help maintain accommodative financial
conditions.”
At the December 2013 meeting, the FOMC announced a
tapering of long-term Treasury security purchases and
mortgage-backed securities purchases of $5 billion each,
beginning in January 2014. The tapering brought monthly

7

purchases to $40 billion and $35 billion, respectively. At
each subsequent meeting in January, March, April, June,
July, and September 2014, the Committee announced further
tapering of asset purchases of $5 billion in each category. At
its meeting in October 2014, the Committee announced the
conclusion of its asset purchase program at the end of
October 2014.

Financial Markets
Financial markets have largely recovered from the
unprecedented strains experienced in the fall of 2008. Credit
flows have increased substantially, and measures of risk
tolerance and volatility have all improved, on net. Equity
markets have more than recovered from the steep losses
incurred in 2008, when the S&P 500 index suffered its
largest annual loss since the Great Depression. Although the
index is currently 33 percent above its October 2007 peak, it
declined by 0.7 percent during 2015, and thus far in 2016, is
2.0 percent higher through early November. Volatility has
also declined markedly: the S&P Stock Market Volatility
Index (VIX) often used as a measure of financial market
uncertainty, stood at about 22 as of early November 2016–
down sharply from an all-time high of 80 in late October
2008.
A variety of factors have buffeted long-term Treasury
interest rates over the past several years, including flight-toquality flows in response to a variety of specific risk events,
as well as supply concerns related to funding of the
Government’s debt, and more recently, concerns about
global financial markets and global growth. After falling by
nearly 90 basis points during 2014, the yield on the 10-year
Treasury note rose by about 10 basis points over the course
of 2015. As of early November 2016, the 10-year yield was
48 basis points lower on the year at 1.79 percent, but was
still above the record low of 1.43 percent reached in late July
2012. The 3- month Treasury bill yield dipped below 0.1
percent between January 2012 and November 2015, but
since then has trended higher, and stood at about 0.4 percent
as of early November 2016. The 2- to 10-year Treasury yield
spread, one measure of the steepness of the yield curve, has
narrowed significantly since November 2013 and stood at
about 99 basis points as of early November 2016.
Key interest rates on private securities, which spiked in
response to financial market turbulence in late 2008, have
since retraced as conditions have stabilized. The spread
between the 3-month London Inter-bank Offered Rate
(LIBOR) and the 3-month Treasury bill rate (also known as
the TED spread, a measure of inter-bank liquidity and credit
risk) rose to an all-time high of nearly 460 basis points in
early October 2008. However, improvements in short-term
credit availability have led to a narrowing of this spread,
which stood at 60 basis points as of early October 2016. The
spread between the Baa corporate bond yield and the 10-year
Treasury yield peaked at nearly 620 basis points in
December 2008. The Baa-10-year spread had narrowed to
213 basis points in April 2014, but thereafter, widened very

December 2016

8

PROFILE OF THE ECONOMY

gradually to about 360 basis points as of early 2016. Since
then, the spread has narrowed on trend, and stood at 263
basis points as of early October, still very high by historical
standards.
Rates for conforming mortgages have trended lower in
recent years, as have rates for jumbo mortgages. The interest
rate for a 30-year conforming fixed-rate mortgage fell to a
record low of 3.31 percent in November 2012. In the spring
of 2013, however, it moved sharply higher, peaking at 4.58
percent in August 2013. Since then, this rate has eased on
net and in October 2016 averaged 3.47 percent.

Foreign Exchange Rates
The value of the U.S. dollar compared with the
currencies of seven major trading partners (the euro area

December 2016

countries, Japan, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia,
Sweden, and Switzerland) appreciated to a peak level in
February 2002, and then depreciated significantly over the
next several years. From its peak in February 2002, to the
recent low reached in August 2011, the exchange value of
the dollar compared to an index of these currencies fell by
about 39 percent. Although the dollar’s exchange value
against this index remains well below the February 2002
peak, it has appreciated between August 2011 and October
2016 by about 33 percent. From August 2011 through
October 2016, the dollar has appreciated by about 35 percent
against the yen and by about 30 percent against the euro.
Against an index of currencies of 19 other important trading
partners (including China, India, and Mexico), the dollar has
appreciated by about 26 percent.

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 earnedincome 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 an 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 that 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) agencies’ payments (including payments by offbudget 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 Enforcement Act of 1990 (2 United
States Code 900-922)] included off-budget surplus or deficit
in calculating deficit targets under that act and in calculating
excess deficit. Partly for this reason, attention has focused

December 2016

10

FEDERAL FISCAL OPERATIONS

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 the FRBs. They also detail
accounting transactions affecting receipts and outlays of the
Government and off-budget Federal entities and their related
effect on assets and liabilities of the Government. Data are
derived from the “Monthly Treasury Statement of Receipts
and Outlays of the United States Government.”

 Table FFO-1 summarizes the amount of total
receipts, 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 source. Amounts represent income taxes, social
insurance taxes, net contributions for other insurance and
retirement, excise taxes, estate and gift taxes, customs
duties, and net miscellaneous receipts.
 Table FFO-3 details on- and off-budget outlays by
agency.

 Table FFO-4 summarizes on- and off-budget
receipts by source and outlays by function as reported to
each major fund group classification for the current fiscal
year to date and prior fiscal year to date.
 Table FFO-5 summarizes internal revenue receipts
by states 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
(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 (that is, payments with
delinquent returns or on delinquent accounts).
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
district where such a corporation reported its taxes from a
principal office rather than other districts where income was
earned or where individual income and Social Security taxes
were withheld. In addition, an individual may reside in one
district and work in another.
 Table FFO-6 includes customs collection of duties,
taxes, and fees by districts and ports.

Fourth-Quarter Receipts
The following capsule analysis of budget
receipts, by source, for the fourth quarter of fiscal
year 2016 supplements fiscal data reported in the
September issue of the “Treasury Bulletin.” At the
time of that issue’s release, not enough data were
available to analyze adequately collections for the
quarter.
Individual income taxes—Individual income tax
receipts, net of refunds, were $374.5 billion for the fourth
quarter of fiscal year 2016. This is an increase of $1.2
billion over the comparable prior year quarter. Withheld
receipts increased by $5.6 billion and non-withheld receipts
decreased by $2.2 billion during this period. Refunds
increased by $2.3 billion over the comparable fiscal year
2015 quarter. There was a decrease of $0.6 billion in
accounting adjustments between individual income tax
receipts and the Social Security and Medicare trust funds
over the comparable quarter in fiscal year 2015.
Corporate income taxes—Net corporate income tax
receipts were $76.2 billion for the fourth quarter of fiscal
year 2016. This is a decrease of $12.2 billion compared to
the prior year fourth quarter. The $12.2 billion change is

December 2016

comprised of a decrease of $11.8 billion in estimated and
final payments, and an increase of $0.4 billion in corporate
refunds.
Employment taxes and contributions—Employment
taxes and contributions receipts for the fourth quarter of
fiscal year 2016 were $254.7 billion, an increase of $15.3
billion over the comparable prior year quarter. Receipts to
the Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance, Federal
Disability Insurance, and Federal Hospital Insurance trust
funds changed by $1.6 billion, $10.8 billion, and $3.3
billion respectively. There was a negligible accounting
adjustment for prior years employment tax liabilities made
in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016, while there was a
-0.6 billion adjustment in the fourth quarter of fiscal year
2015.
Unemployment insurance—Unemployment insurance
receipts, net of refunds, for the fourth quarter of fiscal year
2016 were $9.1 billion, a negligible change over the
comparable quarter of fiscal year 2015. Net State taxes
deposited in the U.S. Treasury did not change significantly
from $8.2 billion. Net Federal Unemployment Tax Act taxes
did not change significantly from $0.9 billion.

Contributions for other insurance and retirement—
Contributions for other retirement were $1.1 billion for the
fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016. This was a negligible
change from the comparable quarter of fiscal year 2015.
Excise taxes—Net excise tax receipts for the fourth
quarter of fiscal year 2016 were $36.1 billion, a decrease of
$2.1 billion over the comparable prior year quarter. Total
excise tax refunds for the quarter were $3.2 billion, an
increase of $1.4 billion over the comparable prior year
quarter.
Estate and gift taxes—Net estate and gift tax receipts
were $4.8 billion for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016.

These receipts represent an increase of $0.7 billion over the
same quarter in fiscal year 2015.
Customs duties—Customs duties net of refunds were
$9.2 billion for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016. This is
an increase of $0.5 billion over the comparable prior year
quarter.
Miscellaneous receipts—Net miscellaneous receipts
for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016 were $32.3 billion,
a decrease of $7.4 billion over the comparable prior year
quarter. This change is due in part to deposits of earnings by
Federal Reserve banks decreasing by $4.5 billion.

1

Excludes excise taxes paid to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Alcohol and
Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau.
2
Includes taxes on corporation income (Form 1120 series) and unrelated business income
from tax-exempt organizations (Form 990–T).
3
Collections of with-held individual income tax are not reported by taxpayers separately from
Old-Age, Survivors, Disability, and Hospital Insurance (OASDHI) taxes on salaries and
wages (under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act or FICA) and taxes on selfemployment income (under the Self-Employment Insurance Contributions Act or SECA).
Thus, while aggregate figures that show these amounts separately are presented in Table 1,
separate amounts are not available by State.
4
Excludes refunds credited to taxpayer accounts for tax liability in a subsequent year.
5
Includes tax and excess withholding payments not classified by State as of the end of the
fiscal year because they had not been applied to taxpayer accounts. Undistributed amounts
may be negative when adjustments to taxpayer accounts have not been completed.
Note—Partnership, S corporation, regulated investment company, and real estate
investment trust data are not shown in this table since these entities generally do not have a
tax liability. Instead, they pass through any profits or losses to the underlying owners who
include these profits or losses on their income tax returns.

Note—This table shows gross collections. Gross collections less refunds and net
collections. Collection and refund data may not be comparable for a given fiscal
year, because payments made in prior years may be refunded in the current
fiscal year. Adjustments to prior-year refunds made in Fiscal Year 2014 may
result in negative amounts when such adjustments exceed current-year
collections.
Note—Classification by State is based on the individual's address (or, in the
case of businesses, the location of the principal office or place of business).
However, some individuals may use the address of a tax attorney or accountant.
Sole proprietors, partners in a partnership, or shareholders in an S corporation
may use their business addresses. Such addresses could have been located in
a State other than the State in which the individual resided. Similarly, taxes
withheld and reported by employers located near a State boundary might include
substantial amounts withheld from salaries of employees who reside in a
neighboring State. Also, while taxes of corporations may be paid from the
principal office, the operations of these corporations may be located in one or
more other State(s).
Detail may not add to totals because of rounding.

INTRODUCTION: Source and Availability of the
Balance in the Account of the U.S. Treasury
The Department of the Treasury’s (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 FRBs, Treasury Regional Financial Centers,
Internal Revenue Service Centers, Bureau of the Fiscal
Service, and various electronic 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.
Under authority of Public Law 95-147 (codified at 31
United States Code 323), 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 (TT&L)
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 can
participate. The program permits Treasury to collect funds
through financial institutions and to leave the funds in TT&L
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 TT&L financial institution reserves
and on the economy. Likewise, those institutions wishing to
remit the funds to the Treasury account at FRBs do so as
collector depositaries.
Deposits to tax and loan accounts occur as customers of
financial institutions deposit tax payments that 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.”
Treasury’s Bureau of the Fiscal Service compiles data in
the “Treasury Bulletin” tables FD-2 and FD-6 from the
“Monthly Statement of the Public Debt of the United
States.”
 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 tables, OFS-1 and OFS-2.)
 Table FD-2 categorizes by type, that is, marketable
and nonmarketable, the total public debt securities
outstanding that are held by the public.
 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 marketbased special Treasury securities whose terms mirror those
of marketable securities.
 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.
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 interest rates 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. 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 exclude Government accounts and the FRBs.
 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.
 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 securities to the public.

INTRODUCTION: Bureau of the Fiscal Service Operations
Chapter 31 of Title 31 of the United States Code allows
the Secretary of 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 outstanding 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.
The Bureau of the Fiscal Service is a new bureau within
the Treasury Department, formed on October 7, 2012, from
the consolidation of the Financial Management Service and
the Bureau of the Public Debt. Our mission is to promote the
financial integrity and operational efficiency of the U.S.
government through exceptional accounting, financing,
collections, payments, and shared services. As one bureau,
the organization is better positioned to help transform
financial management and the delivery of shared services in
the federal government. The bureau will be a valued partner
for agencies as they work to strengthen their own financial
management or as they look for a quality service provider
who can allow them to focus on their missions.

Table PDO-1 presents the results of weekly auctions of 4-,
13-, and 26-week bills. Treasury bills mature each Thursday.
Issues of 4- and 13-week bills are reopenings of 26-week
bills. High rates 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.
To encourage the participation of individuals and smaller
institutions, Treasury accepts noncompetitive tenders of up to
$5 million in each auction of securities.
Table PDO-2 lists the results of auctions of marketable
securities, other than weekly bills, in chronological order over
the past 2 years. Issues of cash management bills also are
presented.
Note: On July 31, 2013, Treasury published amendments
to its marketable securities auction rules to accommodate the
auction and issuance of Floating Rate Notes (FRNs). An FRN
is a security that has an interest payment that can change over
time. Treasury FRNs will be indexed to the most recent 13week Treasury bill auction High Rate, which is the highest
accepted discount rate in a Treasury bill auction. FRNs will
pay interest quarterly.

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.]
Effective January 1, 2001, Treasury’s Bureau of the
Fiscal Service revised formats, titles, and column headings
in the “Monthly Statement of the Public Debt of the United
States,” Table I: Summary of Treasury Securities
Outstanding and Table II: Statutory Debt Limit. These
changes should reduce confusion and bring the publication
more in line with the public’s use of terms.
Treasury’s Bureau of the Fiscal Service compiles data in
the “Treasury Bulletin” table OFS-1 from the “Monthly
Statement of the Public Debt of the United States.” Effective
June 2001, Bureau of the Fiscal Service revised procedures
and categories in this table to agree with the Bureau of the
Fiscal Service’s publication changes.

December 2016

 Table OFS-1 presents Treasury marketable and
nonmarketable securities and debt issued by other Federal
agencies held by Government accounts, the FRBs, and
private investors. Social Security and Federal retirement
trust fund investments comprise much of the Government
account holdings.
The FRBs acquire Treasury securities in the market as a
means of executing monetary policy.
 Table OFS-2 presents the estimated ownership of
U.S. Treasury securities. Information is primarily obtained
from the Federal Reserve Board of Governors Flow of Funds
data, Table L209. 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: 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, U.S.
Mint offices, the Federal Reserve banks (FRBs), and the
Federal Reserve Board.

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, Japanese yen, Swiss
franc, pound sterling, and euro) and the U.S. dollar.
Positions in the U.S. dollar, which have been collected since
January 1999, are intended to approximate “all other”
currency positions of reporting institutions. 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 United
States Code 5315; 31 Code of Federal Regulations 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, September, 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.

A quarterly report must be filed throughout the calendar
year by each foreign exchange market participant that had
more than $5 billion equivalent in foreign exchange
contracts on the last business day of any quarter the previous
year (end March, June, September, or December).
This information is published in six sections
corresponding to each of the major currencies covered by the
reports. Tables I-1 through VI-1 present the currency data
reported weekly by major market participants. Tables I-2
through VI-2 present more detailed currency data of major
market participants, based on monthly reports. Tables I-3
through VI-3 present quarterly consolidated currency data
reported by large market participants that do not file weekly
reports. The information in the tables referenced above is
based on the reports referenced in this Introduction: Foreign
Currency Positions and is not audited by the Federal Reserve
banks or the Treasury Department.
Principal exchanged under cross-currency interest rate
swaps is reported as part of purchases or sales of foreign
exchange. Such principal also was noted separately on
monthly and quarterly reports through December 1998,
when this practice was discontinued. 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 pursuant
to chapter 6, section 10 of the Gold Reserve Act of January
30, 1934 -codified at 31 United States Code 5302, which
authorized establishment of a Treasury 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
International Monetary Fund. 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
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.

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.”

The following information is released according to the
provisions of the Byrd Amendment [codified at 26 United
States Code 9503(d)] and represents data concerning the
Highway Trust Fund. The figure described as “unfunded
authorizations” is the latest estimate received from the DOT.

The 48-month revenue estimates for the highway and
mass transit accounts, respectively, include the latest
estimates received from Treasury’s Office of Tax Analysis
for excise taxes, net of refunds. They represent net highway
receipts for those periods.

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-1, -2)—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.

Second Liberty Loan Act of 1917, the nature of the limitation
was modified until, in 1941, it developed into an overall limit
on the outstanding Federal debt.
Pursuant to 31 U.S.C. 3101(b). By the Bipartisan Budget
Act of 2015, Public Law 114-74, the Statutory Debt Limit has
been suspended through March 15, 2017.
Discount—The interest deducted in advance when purchasing
notes or bonds. (See Accrued discount.)
Discount rate (PDO-1)—The difference between par value
and the actual purchase price paid, annualized over a 360-day
year. Because this rate is less than the actual yield (couponequivalent rate), the yield should be used in any comparison
with coupon issue securities.
Dollar coins (USCC)—Include standard silver and nonsilver
coins.

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 also may be classified as
current or permanent. Permanent authority requires no
current action by Congress.

Domestic series (FD-2)—Nonmarketable, interest- and noninterest-bearing securities issued periodically by Treasury to
the Resolution Funding Corporation (RFC) for investment of
funds authorized under section 21B of the Federal Home Loan
Bank Act (12 United States Code 1441b).

Budget deficit—The total, cumulative amount by which
budget outlays (spending) exceed budget receipts (income).

Federal Reserve notes (USCC)—Issues by the U.S.
Government to the public through the Federal Reserve banks
and their member banks. They represent money owed by the
Government to the public. Currently, the item “Federal
Reserve notes—amounts outstanding” consists of new series
issues. The Federal Reserve note is the only class of currency
currently issued.

Cash management bills (PDO-1)—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.
Competitive tenders (“Treasury Financing Operations”)—
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
Noncompetitive tenders.)
Currency no longer issued (USCC)—Old and new series
gold and silver certificates, Federal Reserve notes, national
bank notes, and 1890 Series Treasury notes.
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

Federal intrafund transactions (“Federal Fiscal Operations”)—Intrabudgetary transactions in which payments and
receipts both occur within the same Federal fund group
(Federal funds or trust funds).

Foreign-targeted issue (PDO-2)—Foreign-targeted issues
were notes sold between October 1984 and February 1986 to
foreign institutions, foreign branches of U.S. institutions,
foreign central banks or monetary authorities, or to
international organizations in which the United States held
membership. Sold as companion issues, they could be
converted to domestic (normal) Treasury notes with the same
maturity and interest rates. Interest was paid annually.
Government account series (FD-2)—Certain trust fund
statutes require the Secretary of the Treasury to apply monies
held by these funds toward the issuance of nonmarketable
special securities. These securities are sold directly by
Treasury to a specific Government agency, trust fund, or
account. Their rate is based on an average of market yields on

GLOSSARY

outstanding Treasury obligations, and they may be redeemed
at the option of the holder. Roughly 80 percent of these are
issued to five holders: the Federal Old-Age and Survivors
Insurance Trust Fund; the civil service retirement and
disability fund; the Federal Hospital Insurance Trust Fund; the
military retirement fund; and the Unemployment Trust Fund.
Interfund transactions (“Federal Fiscal Operations”)—
Transactions in which payments are made from one fund
group (either Federal funds or trust funds) to a receipt account
in another group.
International Monetary Fund transactions (“Exchange
Stabilization Fund”, ESF-1)—(IMF) Established by the
United Nations, the IMF promotes international trade, stability
of exchange, and monetary cooperation. Members are allowed
to draw from the fund.
Intrabudgetary transactions (“Federal Fiscal Operations”)—
These occur when payment and receipt both occur within the
budget, or when payment is made from off-budget Federal
entities whose budget authority and outlays are excluded from
the budget totals.
Noncompetitive tenders (“Treasury Financing Operations”)—This is a tender or bid to purchase a stated par
amount of securities at the highest yield or discount rate
awarded to competitive bidders for a single-price auction.
Obligations (“Federal Fiscal Operations”)—An unpaid
commitment to acquire goods or services.
Off-budget Federal entities (“Federal Fiscal Operations”)—
Federally owned and controlled entities whose transactions are
excluded from the budget totals under provisions of law. Their
receipts, outlays, and surplus or deficit are not included in
budget receipts, outlays, or deficits. Their budget authority is
not included in totals of the budget.
Outlays (“Federal Fiscal Operations”)—Payments on
obligations in the form of cash, checks, the issuance of bonds
or notes, or the maturing of interest coupons.
Par value—The face value of bonds or notes, including
interest.
Quarterly financing (“Treasury Financing Operations”)—
Treasury has historically offered packages of several
“coupon” security issues on the 15th of February, May,
August, and November, or on the next working day. These
issues currently consist of a 3-year note, a 10-year note, and a
30-year bond. Treasury sometimes offers additional amounts
of outstanding long-term notes or bonds, rather than selling
new security issues. (See Reopening.)
Fractional coins (USCC)—Coins minted in denominations
of 50, 25, and 10 cents, and minor coins (5 cents and 1 cent).
Receipts (“Federal Fiscal Operations”)—Funds collected
from selling land, capital, or services, as well as collections

79

from the public (budget receipts), such as taxes, fines, duties,
and fees.
Reopening (PDO-2)—The offer for sale of additional
amounts of outstanding issues, rather than an entirely new
issue. A reopened issue will always have the same maturity
date, CUSIP-number, and interest rate as the original issue.
Special drawing rights (“Exchange Stabilization Fund,”
ESF-1)—International assets created by IMF that serve to
increase international liquidity and provide additional
international reserves. SDRs may be purchased and sold
among eligible holders through IMF. (See IMF.)
SDR allocations are the counterpart to SDRs issued by
IMF based on members’ quotas in IMF. Although shown in
Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF) statements as liabilities,
they must be redeemed by ESF only in the event of
liquidation of, or U.S. withdrawal from, the SDR department
of IMF or cancellation of SDRs.
SDR certificates are issued to the Federal Reserve
System against SDRs when SDRs are legalized as money.
Proceeds of monetization are deposited into an ESF account
at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
Spot (“Foreign Currency Positions”)—Due for receipt or
delivery within 2 workdays.
State and local government series (SLGS) (FD-2)—Special
nonmarketable certificates, notes, and bonds offered to State
and local governments as a means to invest proceeds from
their own tax-exempt financing. Interest rates and maturities
comply with IRS arbitrage provisions. SLGS are offered in
both time deposit and demand deposit forms. Time deposit
certificates have maturities of up to 1 year. Notes mature in 1
to 10 years and bonds mature in more than 10 years. Demand
deposit securities are 1-day certificates rolled over with a rate
adjustment daily.
Statutory debt limit (FD-6)—By Act of Congress there is a
limit, either temporary or permanent, on the amount of public
debt that may be outstanding. When this limit is reached,
Treasury may not sell new debt issues until Congress
increases or extends the limit. For a detailed listing of changes
in the limit since 1941, see the Budget of the United States
Government. (See debt outstanding subject to limitation.)
STRIPS (PDO-2)—Separate Trading of Registered Interest
and Principal Securities. Long-term notes and bonds may be
divided into principal and interest-paying components, which
may be transferred and sold in amounts as small as $1,000.
STRIPS are sold at auction at a minimum par amount, varying
for each issue. The amount is an arithmetic function of the
issue’s interest rate.
Treasury bills—The shortest term Federal security (maturity
dates normally varying from 3 to 12 months), are sold at a
discount.
