Profile of the Economy

[Source: Office of Economic Policy, Office of Financial Analysis]

Real gross domestic product (GDP)
Real GDP grew at a 4.2 percent annual rate in the first quarter
of 1998, extending the pattern of strong U.S. economic growth
during 1997. The first-quarter increase followed a gain of
3.7 percent in the previous quarter and marked the sixth
straight quarter growth has exceeded 3 percent.
Growth in the first quarter was led by rebounds in consumer
spending and business investment in equipment, and by a boost
in residential construction that was partially related to the
unusually warm winter. Real consumer spending rose at a
5.7 percent annual rate, more than double the 2.5 percent pace
in the fourth quarter. Real investment in equipment jumped by
28.8 percent at an annual rate following little change in the
previous quarter and gains of more than 20 percent in each of
the prior two quarters. Residential construction was up at a
17.6 percent annual rate. The major negative in the first quarter
was a sharp deterioration in the foreign trade balance that partly
reflected the turmoil in Asia. This subtracted almost 2 percentage points from real growth in the first quarter.
The broad measures of inflation carried in the national income accounts were very low in the first quarter of 1998. The
chain-weighted GDP price index increased at a 0.9 percent
annual rate, half the 1.8 percent pace during 1997 and the
smallest quarterly rise in almost 35 years. The gross domestic
purchases index, which subtracts exports and adds imports to
get a measure of prices paid by U.S. residents, was unchanged
in the first quarter, reflecting the impact of plunging petroleum
prices. The last time the index registered no change was in the
third quarter of 1954.
Inflation
Inflation continued to moderate in the early part of 1998,
with energy prices falling at a more rapid rate than in 1997 and

the rate of increase in food prices continuing to slow. ‘‘Core’’
inflation, which excludes the volatile food and energy components, has picked up a bit but still remains well behaved. Wages
have been accelerating, leading to a pickup in labor costs in the
last two quarters.
During the first 4 months of the year, the consumer price
index (CPI) rose at an annual rate of only 0.9 percent, off from
a gain of 1.7 percent last year and well below the 3.3 percent
advance posted in 1996. Much of the deceleration this year is
due to energy prices, which are falling at an annual rate of close
to 17 percent. Food prices are up at an annual rate of just over
1 percent. The core CPI has advanced by 2.6 percent at an
annual rate through April. This is up slightly from the 2.2 percent increase last year (the smallest increase since 1965) but
close to the pace of the preceding few years.

PROFILE OF THE ECONOMY

the 267,000 per month averaged for all of 1997. Demand for
labor remains high in the service-producing sector (particularly in computer software, engineering, temporary help, and
finance, insurance and real estate), as well as in construction.
Manufacturing employment, on the other hand, has softened
noticeably over the past 3 months, at least in part a response to
the reduction in U.S. exports to the troubled Asian countries.
The unemployment rate plunged from 4.7 percent in March
to 4.3 percent in April, the lowest in more than 28 years. The
share of the working-age population employed returned to an
all-time high of 64.2 percent registered in the first 2 months of
the year. These indicators show that the economy continues to
operate at a very high rate of labor utilization.
Average hourly earnings of production and other nonsupervisory workers rose to $12.67 in April, 4.4 percent in nominal
terms above the year-earlier level. Slow growth in consumer
prices has contributed to an acceleration in growth of earnings
in real terms, to 2.9 percent over the latest 12 months----a pace
unmatched since 1972.
Nonfarm productivity and unit labor costs
Nonfarm business productivity (real output per hour worked)
rose at an annual rate of 0.2 percent in the first quarter, much
slower than the 1.4 percent pace registered in the fourth quarter.
However, first-quarter results are preliminary and partially
reflect statistical complications. Revisions later in the year
could boost the first-quarter figure. Productivity growth over
the past 2 years averaged 1.9 percent, a marked improvement
over the prior 3 years, when productivity was almost flat. Trend
productivity growth is estimated to be slightly higher than 1.0
percent annually.
Hourly compensation costs in the nonfarm business sector
grew at a 4.1 percent annual rate in the first 3 months of 1998,
following a rapid 5.2 percent increase in the final quarter of
last year. Labor costs per unit of output in this sector, which
combine the effects of both compensation and productivity,
were up at a 3.8 percent annual rate, the same as in the previous
quarter. The two latest quarterly increases in unit labor costs
are well above the 2.0 percent pace registered during all of
1997.
Productivity in manufacturing edged up by 0.5 percent at an
annual rate in the first quarter after advancing 4.3 percent in
the fourth quarter. The small first-quarter increase primarily
reflected a sharp deceleration in factory output growth, although factory work hours also grew at a slower pace in the
first quarter. Unit labor costs in manufacturing jumped up by
2.3 percent at an annual rate, but over the past four quarters
were down 0.3 percent.
Current account balance
The current account is a summary of U.S. international
transactions, measuring trade in goods and services as well as
the flow of investment income on assets. On an annual basis,
the current account has been in deficit since the early 1980’s.
The current account deficit totaled $166 billion in 1997. This
represents a substantial widening from a recent low of $6
billion in 1991. The faster pace of U.S. economic growth since
then compared with that of our major trading partners has
brought in imports at a more rapid rate than exports. In addition, what had been a positive balance on investment income
shifted to a negative in 1997 as the inflow of capital into the

5

United States boosted payments of earnings and interest to
foreigners.
The current account deficit in 1997, though large, was $2
billion below the all-time peak deficit in 1987. Relative to
GDP, the deficit has improved, dropping from 3.6 percent as a
share of GDP in 1987 to just 2.1 percent last year.
The widening deficit in 1997 mainly reflected the swing
from surplus to deficit on investment income, primarily interest
payments on the rapidly growing foreign holdings of U.S.
Treasury securities. The balance on trade in goods also deteriorated in 1997, but the surplus in services improved.
The current account deficit is matched by offsetting transactions in the capital account. The large inflow of foreign capital
in 1997 led to a $691 billion increase in foreign assets in the
U.S. in 1997, exceeding the increase in U.S. assets abroad by
$264 billion. This was the largest net capital inflow on record,
apparently reflecting the strength of the U.S. domestic economic situation. The difference between the $264 billion reported capital inflow and the $166 billion current account
deficit represented unrecorded capital flows (the statistical
discrepancy).
Exchange rate of the dollar
The appreciation of the dollar, which began in the middle of
1995 accelerated in 1997, and continued through early 1998.
Based on the Federal Reserve Board’s trade-weighted index of
the dollar against the currencies of other G-10 industrialized
nations, the dollar rose by 11.4 percent over the course of 1997,
more than the 4.3 percent increase recorded in 1996. In January
1998, the dollar rose a further 1.4 percent, reaching its highest
mark on this basis since 1989, but holding well below the peak
recorded in 1985. In the 3 succeeding months, the dollar has
held steady.
Among the G-10 currencies, the dollar’s appreciation has
been greatest against the yen and the deutschemark. Since the
dollar’s recent low in April 1995, the dollar appreciated by a
total of 50 percent through the end of 1997 against the yen and
by 29 percent against the deutschemark. In the first 4 months
of 1998, the dollar appreciated an additional 1.6 percent against
the yen and 1.9 percent against the deutschemark.
Financial crises in several newly-industrialized Asian countries in 1997 led in some cases to currency devaluation, raising
the dollar’s value against those currencies. One result was to
make imports from those countries cheaper in dollar terms, a
factor that contributed to the low U.S. inflation performance
last year. Another result was to raise the relative price of U.S.
exports, which contributed to a decline in exports in the first
quarter and is expected to continue to act as a drag on U.S.
export growth through the year.
Interest rates
Short-term market interest rates have declined slightly in
recent months. After starting the year at close to 5.3 percent,
the rate on the 3-month bill edged back below 5.0 percent by
early May.
The Federal Reserve Board has not altered monetary policy
since raising the Federal funds rate target by one-quarter of a
point in March 1997, to 5.50 percent. The discount rate was
left unchanged at 5.0 percent, where it has been since January
1996. At recent meetings the Board has decided to continue to
leave monetary policy unchanged, partly because of the uncer-

Federal budget
The Federal budget is on track in the current fiscal year to
post a surplus, which would be the first Federal budget surplus
since 1969 and only the ninth since World War II. Surpluses
are expected to occur in each succeeding year through at least
2003, the last year for which Administration projections are
available.
Strong economic growth and passage of deficit reduction
programs have placed the deficit on a downward course since
1992. Since the all-time high of $290 billion in that year, the
deficit was reduced to just $22 billion in fiscal 1997, a 92
percent cut. With about half of the current fiscal year already
completed, the budget is projected to show a surplus of $39
billion in fiscal 1998.
Growth in receipts has been very strong over the past 5 years
and so far in fiscal 1998, receipts have been boosted by expan-

7

sion in jobs and income, rising corporate profits, and stock
market gains. In fiscal 1997, receipts rose by 8.7 percent.
Nonwithheld individual income taxes made an especially notable jump, up more than 16 percent over the year. Through
half of the current fiscal year, total receipts were 10 percent
higher than during the comparable period of the previous fiscal
year.
Growth in Federal spending was held to a moderate 2.6
percent in fiscal 1997 and continued to rise slowly in fiscal
1998. Slow growth in outlays last year was aided by large
spectrum auction proceeds and asset sales in the deposit insurance account, both of which are treated as negative outlays in
budget accounting. Excluding these components, outlay
growth was about 4 percent in fiscal 1997. So far this year,
outlays are about 2 percent higher than during the comparable
period last year.

FEDERAL FISCAL OPERATIONS

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 offbudget 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) agencies’ payments (including payments 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 offbudget 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 U.S.C. 900-922)] included offbudget 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
the Federal Reserve Banks. 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

liability years because they consist of prepayments (i.e., estimated tax payments and taxes withheld by employers for
individual income and Social Security taxes), of payments
made with tax returns, and of 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.

First-Quarter Receipts
The following capsule analysis of budget receipts,
by source, for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 supplements fiscal data reported in the March 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
were $176.3 billion for the first quarter of fiscal 1998. This
was an increase of $16.6 billion over the comparable prior year
quarter. Withheld receipts increased by $18.9 billion and nonwithheld receipts decreased by $1.6 billion during this period.
Refunds increased by $0.7 billion over the comparable fiscal
1997 quarter. There was a decrease of $1.3 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----Corporate income tax receipts were $51.2 billion for the first quarter of fiscal 1998.
This was an increase of $9.0 billion over the prior year first
quarter. The $9 billion figure consists of $6.6 billion in higher
estimated and final payments plus $2.4 billion in lower refunds.
Employment taxes and contributions----Employment
taxes and contributions receipts for the October through December quarter of fiscal 1997 were $120.9 billion, an increase
of $9.4 billion over the comparable prior year quarter. Receipts to the Old-Age Survivors Insurance and Hospital Insurance trust funds increased $7.6 billion and $1.9 billion,
respectively. Receipts to the Disability Insurance trust fund
decreased negligibly. There was a $0.7 billion accounting

adjustment for prior years’ employment tax liabilities made in
the first quarter of fiscal 1997, while there was a $2.0 billion
adjustment made in the first quarter of fiscal 1998.
Unemployment insurance----Unemployment insurance
receipts for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 were $4.4 billion,
which was a $0.2 billion increase over the comparable quarter
of fiscal 1997. State taxes deposited in the U.S. Treasury
increased by $0.2 billion. Federal Unemployment Tax Act
receipts and Railroad Unemployment tax receipts increased
negligibly from the comparable quarter of fiscal 1997.
Contributions for other insurance and retirement---Contributions for other retirement were $1.2 billion for the
first 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 grows slowly relative to those
covered under the civil service retirement system.
Excise taxes----Net excise tax receipts for the first quarter
of fiscal 1998 were $15.5 billion, an increase of $2.3 billion
over the comparable prior year quarter. Total excise tax refunds for the quarter were $0.2 billion, unchanged over the
comparable prior year quarter.
Estate and gift taxes----Net estate and gift tax receipts
were $5.2 billion in the October through December quarter of
fiscal 1998. These receipts represented an increase of $0.1
billion over the previous quarter and an increase of $0.9
billion over the same quarter in fiscal 1997.

ACCOUNT OF THE U.S. TREASURY

17

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.

FEDERAL DEBT

19

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 are also 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 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 account.
• 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 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. (Fed-

eral 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
which 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 exclude Government accounts and the Federal Reserve
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-interestbearing debt shown in the last column reflect maturities of
Treasury securities on nonbusiness days, which can be redeemed on the next business 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 securities to the public.

PUBLIC DEBT OPERATIONS

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 interestbearing 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

OWNERSHIP OF FEDERAL SECURITIES

49

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.)

MARKET YIELDS

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 Governors 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.

U.S. CURRENCY AND COIN OUTSTANDING AND IN CIRCULATION

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, and
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.

1
Beginning July 1974, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) adopted a technique for valuing
the special drawing right (SDR) based on a weighted-average of exchange rates for the
currencies of selected member countries. The U.S. SDR holdings and reserve position in the
IMF also are valued on this basis beginning July 1974.
2
Treasury values its gold stock at $42.2222 per fine troy ounce and pursuant to 31 U.S.C. 5117
(b) issues gold certificates to the Federal Reserve at the same rate against all gold held.
3
Includes allocations of SDRs in the Special Drawing Account in the IMF, plus or minus
transactions in SDRs.

4
Includes holdings of Treasury and Federal Reserve System; beginning November 1978,
these are valued at current market exchange rates or, where appropriate, at such other rates
as may be agreed upon by the parties to the transactions.
5
The United States has the right to purchase foreign currencies equivalent to its reserve
position in the IMF automatically if needed. Under appropriate conditions, the United States
could purchase additional amounts related to the U.S. quota.

CAPITAL MOVEMENTS

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, securities brokers and dealers, and nonbanking
enterprises in the United States file capital movement reports
with district Federal Reserve banks.
Forms and instructions are developed with the cooperation
of other Government agencies and the Federal Reserve System,
and in consultation with representatives of banks, securities
firms, and nonbanking enterprises. Copies of the reporting
forms and instructions may be obtained from the Office of
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
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

CAPITAL MOVEMENTS

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.
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

67

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.

FOREIGN CURRENCY POSITIONS

INTRODUCTION: Foreign Currency Positions
The ‘‘Treasury Bulletin’’ publishes series on foreign currency holdings of large foreign exchange market participants.
The series 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 Institution 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 which 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 is also 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.

EXCHANGE STABILIZATION FUND

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.
2
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.’’

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS EXCERPT

Balance sheet
This statement shows the operating assets of the Government that were acquired under fiscal 1997, and prior
year budgets; and which remain available as resources to
supply Government goods and services in the future. It
also shows the Government’s operating liabilities including debt held by the public. It includes some liabilities
that have not yet been funded by appropriations. The net
position shown in the statement reflects operating assets
less liabilities.
The balance sheet does not include values for certain
assets or future responsibilities under social insurance
programs such as Social Security and Medicare. Excluded assets include land not used in general operations,
natural resources and assets held solely for their historical, cultural or artistic significance. The balance sheet
also does not reflect the Government’s power to tax. Deferred maintenance is not shown this year but will be disclosed in future years after agencies implement the new
accounting standard requiring such information.

The stewardship reporting section provides information on the Government’s future responsibilities for social insurance and on the Government’s land not used in
general operations. An explanation of the nature of the social insurance trust funds is included in Note 16 together
with information about the receipts, disbursements and assets of the major social insurance trust funds. The stewardship reporting section will be expanded in future years
to disclose additional information required by recently approved accounting standards.
The line item “commitments and contingencies” is displayed to inform the reader that a note disclosure is presented, relating to certain existing conditions, situations
or sets of circumstances involving uncertainty as to possible gain or loss. The amounts stated there are in terms of
maximum theoretical risk exposure. However, it is not
likely that the maximum loss will be incurred.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS EXCERPT

Statement of net cost
This statement shows the net cost of Government operations for fiscal 1997, which is funded by taxation or
through Federal borrowing. The statement reflects the
cost incurred to carry out the national priorities as determined by law.
Cost is divided among major functions, which are the
same as in the budget except that the allocation of cost to
the functions is based on accounting standards. Thus,
cost are reported on an accrual basis and allocated differently than in the budget. For example, the cost of pensions and retiree health benefits are allocated among all
the functions that employ workers rather than as a subfunction in the income security function. A description of
each of the functions and the component of net cost for
the activities included in such function is located immediately following the statement.
The statement contains the following three components for each function:

The gross cost of Government operations; the revenues
earned from the public for goods and services; and the net
cost of Government operations, which is the gross cost less
the revenue earned.

Gross cost
Gross cost includes the full cost of the functions.
These costs may be directly traced, assigned on a cause
and effect basis or reasonably allocated to the function.
Earned revenue
These are revenues that the U.S. Government has
earned by providing goods and services to the public at a
price.
Net cost
The net cost of Government operations is the gross
cost less the related revenues.

TRUST FUNDS

INTRODUCTION: Highway Trust Fund
The Highway Trust Fund was established on the books of
the Treasury in fiscal 1957, according to provisions of the
Highway Revenue Act of 1956. It has been amended and
extended by various highway and surface transportation acts
since 1959. The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency
Act of 1991 extended the Highway Trust Fund and its taxes
through September 30, 1999. It has also been modified by the
Deficit Reduction Act of 1984, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990, and the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation
Act of 1993. Amounts equivalent to taxes on gasoline, diesel
fuel, special motor fuels, certain tires, vehicles, and truck use,
are designated by the Act to be appropriated and transferred
from the general fund of the Treasury to the trust fund. These
transfers are made monthly based on estimates by the Secretary
of the Treasury, subject to adjustments in later transfers to the
amount of actual tax receipts. Amounts available in the fund
exceeding outlay requirements are invested in public debt
securities and interest is credited to the fund.
Within the fund is a mass transit account, funded by a
portion of the excise tax collections under sections 4041, 4081,
and 4091 of the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C.). The funds

from this account are used for expenditures according to
section 21 (a) (2) of the Urban Mass Transportation Act of
1964 or the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act
of 1991. The remaining excise taxes collected are included in
a higher account within the trust fund, and expenditures from
this account are made according to the provisions of various
transportation Acts.
Amounts required for outlays to carry out the Federal
Highway program are made available to the Federal Highway
Administration, Department of Transportation. Other charges
to the trust fund are made by the Secretary of the Treasury for
transfer of certain taxes to the land and water conservation
fund and to the Aquatic Resources Trust Fund and refunds of
certain taxes.
Annual reports to Congress are required by 26 U.S.C.
9602 (a) Internal Revenue Code as amended, to be submitted
by the Secretary of the Treasury, after consultation with the
Secretary of Transportation. These reports cover the financial
condition and results of operations of the fund for the past
fiscal year and expected condition and operations during the
next 5 fiscal years.

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, 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).

minimum and multiple purchase requirements than those of
other issues, is generally restricted to competitive bidders.

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 March 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.
