Profile of the Economy
[Source: Office of Macroeconomic Analysis]

Real gross domestic product (GDP)
After rising about 6 percent at an annual rate over the
second half of 2003, forward momentum continued into the
first quarter of 2004 as real gross domestic product (GDP)
increased at a sizable 4.2 percent pace. Growth in the last
three quarters averaged 5.5 percent at an annual rate, the
strongest three-quarter performance since 1984. Almost all
GDP sectors expanded in the first quarter, providing firm
support for continued gains in economic activity.
Growth in personal consumption expenditures picked up
to a 3.8 percent rate from 3.2 percent in the prior quarter.
Increased spending on services, particularly medical care
and housing, accounted for much of the growth. Business
investment in equipment and software was also very
favorable, with an 11.5 percent rate of increase representing
an eighth straight quarterly gain. Business investment in
structures continued its long string of declines, but the pace
of inventory investment picked up as businesses became
more confident about the sustainability of aggregate
demand. Residential investment grew modestly in the first
quarter.
Exports rose 3.2 percent at an annual rate in the first
quarter for a third straight quarterly increase, though growth
slowed sharply from the fourth quarter. Imports increased at
a 2.0 percent pace, but because the level of imports is so
much higher than exports, the changes were roughly
offsetting and the trade deficit remained virtually the same.
In the government sector, Federal consumption
expenditures and gross investment increased at a 10.1

Inflation
Inflation at both the consumer and producer price levels
picked up in the early part of this year. The consumer price
index (CPI) rose by 0.5 percent in March, bringing the
annual rate increase during the first 3 months of 2004 to 5.1
percent. This is up from 1.9 percent during all of 2003 but
slightly less than during the first quarter of that year. Energy
prices jumped at a near 39 percent pace during the first 3
months of 2004 and also boosted CPI growth in the same
months of 2003. The increase in food prices slowed to a 1.3
percent annual rate in the first 3 months of 2004 from 3.6
percent last year. “Core” inflation (prices excluding food and
energy), however, moved from a very low 1.1 percent pace
during 2003 to an annual rate of 2.9 percent during the first 3
months of this year. The increase last year was the smallest
annual rise since 1960.

percent annual rate as defense spending grew $17 billion in
real terms, or an annual rate of 15.1 percent. Nondefense
showed a 0.7 percent rate of increase. Expenditures and
investment of state and local governments continued to be
squeezed by tight budgets and fell 2.6 percent at an annual
rate in the first quarter.

*2004 based on first quarter

The pattern at the producer level mirrors developments at
the consumer level. Overall finished goods prices rose by 4.0
percent during 2003 but were up at a 5.1 percent annual rate
during the first 3 months of this year. Rising core prices and
a sharp jump in energy costs contributed to the overall
acceleration, offset somewhat by moderation in the increase
in wholesale food costs. Energy prices were up at a 23.5
percent annual rate through March, more than double the
11.5 percent rise during 2003 but much less than during the
first quarter of that year. Core prices rose by 1.0 percent last
year but have increased at a 2.1 percent pace so far this year.
Wholesale food prices rose at a 1.1 percent pace during the
first 3 months of 2004, well below the 7.7 percent increase
last year. Further back in the production chain, the pace of
core intermediate materials price increases accelerated from
2.1 percent during 2003 to an annual rate of almost 9 percent
during the first quarter of 2004.

PROFILE OF THE ECONOMY

Labor costs remain subdued. Hourly compensation costs
as calculated in the national income accounts for the private
nonfarm business sector increased at a 4.0 percent annual
rate in the first quarter of 2004. This was the same as
averaged during 2003 but slightly faster than the 3.5 percent
increase in productivity. As a result, unit labor costs rose at a
0.5 percent pace in the first quarter after declining by 1.3

percent across the four quarters of 2003. The employment
cost index (ECI) for total compensation, a fixed-weighted
compensation measure, increased by 3.8 percent during the
12-month period ending in March, boosted by a surge in
benefit costs. This was close to the 3.9 percent increases for
the comparable periods in each of the previous 2 years.

Employment and unemployment
The labor market recovery that began in August 2003
strengthened notably heading into the spring of 2004.
Nonfarm payroll employment rose by 1.1 million over the 8
months ended in April, and the unemployment rate retreated
from a 9-year high of 6.3 percent in June 2003 to 5.6
percent.
Nonfarm payroll employment surged by 288,000 in April
on top of a 337,000 jump in March-the best 2-month
performance in 4 years. Employment growth since the
August trough has been concentrated in the private serviceproducing sector, with the bulk of the gains in professional
and business services, health services, and leisure and
hospitality. Construction employment continued to grow at a
solid pace through April. Manufacturing payrolls expanded

91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 00 01 02 03 04

by 37,000 over the latest 3 months after a 3-1/2-year slump
during which 3 million factory jobs were lost.
The unemployment rate eased back to 5.6 percent in
April from 5.7 percent in March. The jobless rate has
hovered around 5.6 percent since the beginning of the year
and is the lowest since early 2002.
Wage gains remain subdued despite the recovery in labor
demand. Over the 12 months ended in April, average hourly
earnings of nonfarm production workers rose 2.2 percent
compared to 3.0 percent in the year-earlier period. However,
growth in earnings adjusted for inflation firmed to 0.4
percent over the 12 months ended in March (latest available)
after easing by 0.1 percent over same period in 2003. The
small decline recorded last year reflected a surge in energy
prices, which boosted inflation and ate into real earnings.
Although energy prices remain elevated, they have grown
more slowly over the latest year.

Real disposable personal income and
consumer spending

Industrial production and capacity
utilization

Personal income in nominal terms grew at a 5.6 percent
annual rate in the first quarter of 2004. This represented an
acceleration from the 4.3 percent pace across the four
quarters of last year. Wages and salaries, which account for
more than half of personal income, grew at a strong
4.8 percent annual rate in the first quarter, up from the 3.2
percent advance during 2003. Personal interest income
edged up slightly in the first quarter after increasing by 3.7
percent at an annual rate in the fourth quarter. Prior to these
two increases, interest income had been moving down on
average for 3 years. Dividend income continued up at a
healthy pace in the first quarter. Personal current transfer
receipts, which include transfer payments from the
government, grew at a 5.6 percent rate in the first quarter,
off a little from the 6.7 percent pace last year.
Disposable (after-tax) income adjusted for inflation
moved up at a 4.3 percent annual rate in the first quarter, a
modest acceleration from the 3.6 percent gain during 2003.
These increases in inflation-adjusted disposable income
reflected the impact of the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief
Reconciliation Act of 2003.
Real consumer spending rose at a 3.8 percent annual rate
in the first quarter, up from an increase of 3.2 percent in the
fourth quarter but in line with the 4.0 percent gain across all
four quarters of 2003. With after-tax income up at a slightly
faster rate than real spending in the first quarter, the personal
saving rate edged up to 1.9 percent from 1.7 percent in the
fourth quarter. The saving rate stood at 2.1 percent for all of
2003, down from 2.3 percent during 2002.

Industrial production continued its solid performance at
the beginning of 2004. Output from factories, mines, and
utilities rose by a strong 6.6 percent at an annual rate in the
first quarter, the fastest pace in nearly 4 years. Production
fell by 0.2 percent in March but that was largely due to a
sizeable decline in activity at utilities as a result of unusually
warm weather. Output rose by 3.4 percent over the 12
months ending in March.
Manufacturing production, which accounts for about 82
percent of all industrial output, was flat in March following a
large 1.1 increase in February. Factory output advanced by a
strong 5.9 percent at an annual rate in the first quarter on top
of the fourth quarter’s 6.1 percent rise. (April’s employment
report also showed that the manufacturing sector began to
create jobs in February after 42 consecutive months of job
contraction.) Production of motor vehicles and parts
increased at an 8.6 percent annual rate in the first quarter,
roughly on par with the fourth quarter’s 8.8 percent gain.
Vehicle and part production declined by 2.2 percent in
March. Apart from automobiles, manufacturing output rose
at a 5.6 percent annual rate in the first quarter. Production in
the high-technology industries (computers, communications
equipment, and semiconductors) rose at a rapid 30 percent
annual rate in the first quarter. In recent quarters, this
industry sector has been running at rates not seen since mid 2000. Both the computers and office equipment sector and
semiconductors have accounted for much of these sharp
gains. Communications equipment remains the weakest
segment of the high-technology group. Nondurable
manufacturing rose by 1.8 percent at an annual rate in the

6

PROFILE OF THE ECONOMY

first quarter, down somewhat from the fourth quarter’s 3year high of 2.5 percent. Chemicals and apparel and leather
accounted for much of the first-quarter rise. Production at
utilities, which accounts for 10 percent of total industrial
output, rose by a strong 17.0 percent in the first quarter–
mainly because of severe weather. Output at mines (the
remaining 8 percent of industrial output) rose by 1.0 percent
at an annual rate in the first quarter, about the same as in the
prior two quarters.
The capacity utilization rate for the industrial sector
ended the first quarter at 76.5 percent, up from last June’s
two-decade low of 74.0 percent but still 4.6 percentage
points below the long-term average of 81.1 percent.
Capacity utilization ranged between 82 and 85 percent in the
1994–1999 period. Capacity utilization in the manufacturing
sector was 75.2 percent in March, 4.8 percentage points
below its long-term average. Utilization in the high-tech
industries edged up to the 70.0 percent mark by the end of
the first quarter, the highest reading in nearly 3 years. That is
still below its long-term average of 78.8 percent.

Nonfarm productivity and unit labor costs
Gains in productivity continue to be quite impressive.
Nonfarm business productivity (real output per hour worked)
rose 3.5 percent at an annual rate in the first quarter
following the fourth quarter’s 2.5 percent gain. Over the
most recent four quarters, labor productivity rose by 5.4
percent, well above the already rapid 3.1 percent annual pace
averaged between 1995 and 2003. Since the fourth quarter of
2000–a period that includes both recession and recovery–
output per hour in the nonfarm business sector surged by 4.1
percent at an annual rate, the strongest 13-quarter gain in 40
years. This provides further evidence of an accelerated “New
Economy” trend in recent years, compared to the 1973 to
1995 period, when productivity growth averaged only 1.5
percent per year.
Hourly compensation costs rose by 4.0 percent at an
annual rate in the first quarter and were up by 4.0 percent
during the past four quarters. Unit labor costs edged up by
0.5 percent at an annual rate in the first quarter, the first
increase in a year, but declined by 1.3 percent over the latest
four quarters as the rise in productivity more than offset the
increase in compensation costs.
Productivity in manufacturing advanced by a 3.1 percent
annual rate in the first quarter and was up by 5.3 percent
over the most recent four quarters. Hourly compensation in
manufacturing rose by 5.2 percent at an annual rate in the
first quarter and by 4.9 percent over the past four quarters.
Unit labor costs rose at an annual rate of 2.0 percent in the
first quarter but were down 0.4 percent over the latest four
quarters.

International transactions
The current account measures trade in goods and
services as well as the flow of net income receipts and
unilateral transfers (including government grants and
pension payments and private transfers to and from
foreigners). The current account has been in deficit almost
continuously since the early 1980s but has shown wide
swings over time. Steady growth of the trade deficit since
late 2001 pushed the current account deficit to a record high
of $559 billion at an annual rate (5.2 percent of GDP) in the
second quarter of 2003. However, subsequent improvement
in the trade balance combined with a sharp rise in the surplus
on investment income caused the current account gap to
recede to $510 billion at an annual rate (4.5 percent of GDP)
in the fourth quarter. Despite the narrowing, the current
account deficit reached a new annual high of $542 billion
(4.9 percent of GDP) in 2003.
The current account is, by definition, matched by
offsetting transactions in the capital and financial accounts,
with any difference in the recorded flows listed as a
statistical discrepancy. Capital account transactions, which
include such items as debt forgiveness, wealth transfers
associated with immigration, investment grants and
acquisitions and disposal of nonproduced nonfinancial
assets, are typically small. In the fourth quarter they fell to
$1.2 billion at an annual rate from outsized flows of $6.2
billion and $3.3 billion in the second and third quarters,
respectively.
The financial account measures transactions that alter the
foreign financial assets and liabilities of the United States.
Net financial inflows rebounded sharply in the fourth quarter
to $724 billion at an annual rate from $424 billion in the
third quarter. Net foreign purchases of assets in the United
States nearly doubled in the fourth quarter to $928 billion at
an annual rate from $479 billion in the previous quarter. The
lack of synchronization in movements of the current and
financial account balances reflects a $333 billion swing, at
an annual rate, in the statistical discrepancy between the
third and fourth quarters. Foreign purchases of non-Treasury
securities, especially U.S. equities, increased between the
third and fourth quarters. Foreign purchases of U.S.
corporate bonds also rose, and outlays for federally sponsored agency bonds turned slightly positive. Foreign
direct investment in the United States also rebounded in the
fourth quarter, but foreign purchases of U.S. Treasuries fell.
U.S. assets abroad increased at a $204 billion annual rate in
the fourth quarter compared $55 billion in the prior quarter.
A major factor in this acceleration was a $104 billion rise at
an annual rate in U.S. banks’ claims on unaffiliated
foreigners in the fourth quarter compared to an $83 billion
decline the previous quarter.

Exchange rate of the dollar
The dollar strengthened somewhat in early 2004 after
falling from a peak in February 2002 through January 2004.
In the 23-month period between that peak and January, the
nominal exchange value of the dollar relative to a broad
index covering the currencies of 26 important U.S. trading
partners depreciated by 13 percent. During the 3 months
through April, the dollar began to firm rising by a little more
than 2 percent.
The decline was a function mainly of dollar weakness
against the seven currencies of the United States’ major
trading partners, including the euro area countries, Japan,
Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Sweden, and
Switzerland. Between February 2002 and January 2004, the
exchange rate of the dollar compared to an index of these
currencies fell by 24.5 percent. Dollar depreciation against
the yen and the euro, whose combined weights account for
roughly 55 percent of the major index, was largely

Interest rates
The Federal Reserve’s monetary stance remained
extremely accommodative through early May. The Federal
Open Market Committee held the federal funds rate (the rate
that banks and other financial institutions charge each other
for overnight loans) constant at 1 percent since June 2003.
In the Treasury market, the 3-month Treasury bill rate
remained below 1 percent for most of the period since June
2003. In early May, it rose about 10 basis points in
anticipation of Federal tightening as the economy
strengthened. The 10-year Treasury yield dipped to a low of
3.75 in early March. Over the past few weeks, however, the
10-year yield has risen to the 4.8 percent level.
Mortgage interest rates generally follow movements of
the 10-year Treasury rate. The interest rate on a conventional
30-year fixed-rate loan fell to about 5.4 percent in March
2004, close to the low of 5.2 percent reached in June 2003.

responsible. Over the same period, the dollar/euro exchange
rate fell by 31 percent and the dollar/yen exchange rate fell
by 20.5 percent. Since January, the dollar has risen 3.6
percent against the major currencies, including a 5.4 percent
rise against the euro, reflecting indications that the U.S.
economic recovery is gaining strength and rising
expectations of U.S. monetary tightening over the course of
this year.
The dollar remains relatively strong compared with the
currencies of many other important trading partners, and the
pace of its appreciation in the most recent months has picked
up somewhat. Since February 2002, the exchange value of
the dollar compared to an index of currencies that includes
Mexico, China, Brazil, and seven other Asian countries has
appreciated by 4.2 percent. Since December 1999, this index
has risen by 10.2 percent.

The low rates led to a new round of mortgage refinancings
and helped free additional cash for consumption. In early
May, it rose to an average 6.12 percent–still low in historical
perspective.
Corporate bond yields reflect movements in long-term
Treasury yields as well as numerous other factors. Moody’s
seasoned Baa yield declined on evidence of faster growth
and rising corporate profits, reaching an average 6.11
percent in March 2004. The yield rose to 6.42 in April,
reflecting rising yields in bond markets. The spread between
the Baa yield and the 10-year Treasury yield, a measure of
investor risk appetite, narrowed to an average of 2.14
percentage points as of April from nearly 4 percentage
points in late 2002.

Housing
Housing construction slowed in the first quarter of 2004
as the weather in many parts of the country was wetter than
usual for that time of year. Activity rebounded in the final
month of the quarter and real residential investment posted a
2.1 percent annual rate increase in the first quarter. That was
the ninth straight quarterly gain for this sector, but well
below the 8.4 percent average of the previous eight quarters.
Sales of new single-family homes continued to be strong
in the first quarter, which should translate into renewed
growth in home construction over the next few quarters of
2004. Sales jumped at a 17.5 percent annual rate in the
quarter to an annualized 1.166 million, a new record high for
this series which started in 1963. Resales of existing singlefamily homes also did well in the first quarter, posting a 6.2
million annual rate. That is down from a 6.3 million unit
selling pace in the fourth quarter of 2003 and a record 6.4
million unit pace in the third quarter.
Housing starts declined in the first 2 months of the first
quarter but rebounded in March as more favorable weather
returned. That was not enough to offset the earlier weakness,
and starts in the first quarter declined at a 16 percent annual
rate after surging at about a 36 percent pace in the last two
quarters of 2003. All of the decline in the latest quarter was
in single-family homebuilding, while starts in the smaller
multi-family market increased. Total starts for the entire first
quarter averaged 1.944 million units at an annual rate, down
from a 25-year high of 2.031 million in the fourth quarter
but still quite high by historical standards.
Housing activity continued to be supported by relatively
favorable mortgage interest rates in the first quarter. The

mortgage rate for a 30-year conventional fixed-rate loan
averaged 5.61 percent that quarter, down from 5.92 percent
in the fourth quarter and a recent quarterly high of 6.01
percent in the third. Recent data show that rates began rising
moderately at the start of the second quarter, however,
though demand for new homes depends not only on the
mortgage interest rate but on housing fundamentals as well.
These remain favorable, including expansion of the home buying population, strong economic growth that has resulted
in increased employment and rising incomes, and continued
home price appreciation. Both home builders and potential
buyers remain upbeat about housing prospects, as the
National Association of Home Builders’ housing market
index and the University of Michigan’s index of consumer
home buying attitudes rose in April.

Federal budget
The Federal budget posted a $375 billion deficit in fiscal
year 2003. That was the second consecutive fiscal year
deficit following 4 years of surpluses. In relation to the
overall economy, the 2003 deficit represented a moderate
3.5 percent share of GDP, lower than shares ranging from
3.9 percent to 4.7 percent from 1990 to 1993 and below the
4.8 percent to 6.0 percent shares from 1983 to 1986. The 6.0
percent share reached in 1983 was a post-World War II
peak.
The deficit continued to widen during the first 6 months
of fiscal year 2004 as military and other security-related
expenses rose. In the first half of fiscal year 2004, the deficit
totaled $299.5 billion. That was $46.4 billion (18 percent)
wider than in the same months of the previous fiscal year.

PROFILE OF THE ECONOMY

The Administration’s budget projected the deficit to total
$520.7 billion in fiscal year 2004. That would be about
$146 billion more than the $375 billion deficit in fiscal year
2003 and a new record in level terms. In relation to the more
than $11 trillion U.S. economy, however, the fiscal year
2004 deficit would be 4.5 percent of GDP. The deficit is
projected to shrink to $364 billion in fiscal year 2005 and
continue to diminish each year through the rest of the
forecast horizon, which extends to fiscal year 2009. The
improvement stems from a growing economy and tight
controls on outlays, particularly discretionary spending
unrelated to defense or homeland security.
It appears that improvement is already beginning and it is
possible the deficit in fiscal year 2004 could be less than
projected. The stronger economy has raised individual
incomes and corporate profits and receipts through the first
half of the fiscal year are about 3 percent higher than the
comparable period of fiscal year 2003. That is well above
the 0.9 percent increase in receipts projected for the fiscal
year. Outlays are 6.6 percent higher than last year through 6
months of the fiscal year and even less than that after
adjusting for differences in the timing of recurring outlays
between the two periods. Outlays were projected to grow 7.5
percent this fiscal year.

9

Private saving was 6.0 percent of NNP in 2003, up from
the 5.4 percent reached in 2002 and well above the rate of
3.6 percent in 2001, which was the lowest since 1938.
Personal saving eased to 1.7 percent of NNP during 2003
from 2.0 percent in 2002, but remained above the 1.4 percent
in 2001, which was the lowest in 50 years. Retained earnings
of corporations rose substantially to 4.3 percent of NNP in
2003 from 3.4 percent in 2002 and 2.2 percent in 2001,
reflecting the upswing in corporate profits which is being
generated by the continuing strength of the economic
recovery.
Net domestic investment (by government and private
industry in structures, equipment, software, and inventory)
rose to 7.3 percent of NNP in 2003 from 6.9 percent in 2002.
Net investment averaged over 9-1/2 percent from 1998
through 2000; nevertheless, the most recent rates of
investment are higher than rates at 6percent or below in
1991 and 1992. A large part of investment during the last
decade was financed from abroad; the U.S. balance on
current account swung from 0.3 percent of NNP in 1991 to
-5.3 percent in 2003.

Net National Saving
(Saving as a percent of NNP)

Net national saving and investment
Net national saving, the source of funds for new
investment, fell to 1.7 percent of net national product (NNP)
in 2003 (latest available data) from 2.7 percent in 2002 and a
recent high of 7.3 percent in 1998. (Net national saving and
NNP exclude depreciation to replace worn-out or obsolete
equipment, software, and structures used in production.)
The decline in the net national saving rate in 2003 mostly
stemmed from a widening in the Federal budget deficit from
2.6 percent of NNP in calendar year 2002 to 4.3 percent in
2003. The Federal deficit has largely reflected the effects of
the recession and the need for spending on homeland
security following the terrorist attacks in 2001. State and
local government budgets were in balance on average in
2003 and 2002; therefore, the total public sector deficit was
about the same as the Federal deficit for the last 2 years. Last
year’s deficit is only a little above public sector deficits
averaging 3.8 percent of NNP from 1982 through 1995.

INTRODUCTION: Federal Fiscal Operations
Budget authority usually takes the form of appropriations
that allow obligations to be incurred and payments to be
made. Reappropriations are Congressional actions that
extend the availability of unobligated amounts that have
expired or would otherwise expire. These are counted as
new budget authority in the fiscal year of the legislation in
which the reappropriation act is included, regardless of when
the amounts were originally appropriated or when they
would otherwise lapse.
Obligations generally are liquidated by the issuance of
checks or the disbursement of cash—outlays. Obligations
may also be liquidated (and outlays recorded) by the accrual
of interest on public issues of Treasury debt securities
(including an increase in redemption value of bonds
outstanding); or by the issuance of bonds, debentures, notes,
monetary credits, or electronic payments.
Refunds of collections generally are treated as reductions
of collections, whereas payments for earned-income tax
credits in excess of tax liabilities are treated as outlays.
Outlays during a fiscal year may be for payment of
obligations incurred in prior years or in the same year.
Outlays, therefore, flow in part from unexpended balances of
prior year budget authority and from budget authority
provided for the year in which the money is spent. Total
outlays include both budget and off-budget outlays and are
stated net of offsetting collections.
Receipts are reported in the tables as either budget
receipts or offsetting collections. They are collections from
the public, excluding receipts offset against outlays. These,
also called governmental receipts, consist mainly of tax
receipts (including social insurance taxes), receipts from
court fines, certain licenses, and deposits of earnings by the
Federal Reserve system. Refunds of receipts are treated as
deductions from gross receipts. Total Government receipts
are compared with total outlays in calculating the budget
surplus or deficit.
Offsetting collections from other Government accounts
or the public are of a business-type or market-oriented
nature. They are classified as either collections credited to
appropriations or fund accounts, or offsetting receipts (i.e.,
amounts deposited in receipt accounts). The former norma lly
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 fro m (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 900922)] 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 on both on- and
off-budget receipts, outlays and deficit of the Government.

FEDERAL FISCAL OPERATIONS

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.

11

• 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.

Second-Quarter Receipts
The following capsule analysis of budget receipts,
by source, for the second quarter of fiscal year 2004
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, net of refunds, were $169.0 billion for the second
quarter of fiscal year 2004. This is a decrease of $5.4 billion
over the comparable prior year quarter. Withheld receipts
increased by $5.2 billion and non-withheld receipts
decreased by $3.6 billion during this period. Refunds
increased by $6.9 billion over the comparable fiscal year
2003 quarter. There was a decrease of $3.4 billion in
accounting adjustments between individual income tax
receipts and the Social Security and Medicare trust funds
over the comparable quarter in fiscal year 2003.
Corporate income taxes—Net corporate income tax
receipts were $24.1 billion for the second quarter of fiscal
year 2004. This is an increase of $12.6 billion compared to
the prior year second quarter. The $12.6 billion change is
comprised of an increase of $2.6 billion in estimated and

final payments, and a decrease of $9.9 billion in corporate
refunds.
Employment taxes and contributions—Employment
taxes and contributions receipts for the second quarter of
fiscal year 2004 were $176.5 billion, an increase of $4.9
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 $3.5 billion, $0.6 billion, and $0.9 billion,
respectively. There was a -$1.4 billion accounting
adjustment for prior years employment tax liabilities made
in the second quarter of fiscal year 2004, while there was a
-$4.9 billion adjustment in the second quarter of fiscal year
2003.
Unemployment insurance—Unemployment insurance
receipts, net of refunds, for the second quarter of fiscal year
2004 were $4.7 billion, an increase of $0.9 billion over the
comparable quarter of fiscal year 2003. Net State taxes
deposited in the U.S. Treasury increased by $0.9 billion to
$3.7 billion. Net Federal Unemployment Tax Act taxes did
not change significantly from $1.0 billion.

Contributions for other insurance and retirement—
Contributions for other retirement were $1.2 billion for the
second quarter of fiscal year 2004. This was a negligible
change from the comparable quarter of fiscal year 2003.
Excise taxes—Net excise tax receipts for the second
quarter of fiscal year 2004 were $16.2 billion, an increase of
$0.9 billion over the comparable prior year quarter. Total
excise tax refunds for the quarter were $0.6 billion, an
increase of $0.1 billion over the comparable prior year
quarter.
Estate and gift taxes—Net estate and gift tax receipts
were $5.8 billion for the second quarter of fiscal year 2004.

These receipts represent an increase of $0.3 billion over the
same quarter in fiscal year 2003.
Customs duties—Customs duties net of refunds were
$4.9 billion for the second quarter of fiscal year 2004. This
is an increase of $0.2 billion over the comparable prior year
quarter.
Miscellaneous receipts—Net miscellaneous receipts for
the second quarter of fiscal year 2004 were $7.3 billion, a
decrease of $2.4 billion over the comparable prior year
quarter. This change is due in part to deposits of earnings by
Federal Reserve banks decreasing by $1.3 billion.

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 Public
Debt, 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.”
Effective January 1, 2001, Treasury’s Bureau of the
Public Debt 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 Financial Management Service (FMS)
compiles data in the “Treasury Bulletin” tables FD-2 and
FD-6 from the “Monthly Statement of the Public Debt of the
United States.” Effective June 2001, FMS revised
procedures and categories in these tables to agree with the
Bureau of the Public Debt’s publication changes.
• 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.
• Table FD-2 (Historical) categorizes by type interestbearing 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 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.
• In table FD-6 (Historical), the same debt
information is compared as in table FD-6. Changes in the
non-interest-bearing debt shown in the last column reflect
maturities of Treasury securities on nonbusiness days, which
can be redeemed on the next 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.

INTRODUCTION: Public Debt 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.

•

Table PDO-1 provides a maturity schedule of
interest-bearing marketable Treasury notes and bonds. All
unmatured Treasury notes and bonds are listed in maturity
order, from earliest to latest. A separate breakout is provided
for the combined holdings of the Government accounts and
Federal Reserve banks (FRBs), so that the “all other
investors” category includes all private holdings.
• Table PDO-2 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. Issues of cash management bills also are
presented. High yields on accepted tenders and the dollar
value of total bids are presented, with the dollar value of
awards made on both competitive and noncompetitive bases.
To encourage the participation of individuals and smaller
institutions, Treasury accepts noncompetitive tenders of up
to $1 million for bills and $5 million for notes and bonds in
each auction of securities.

• Table PDO-3 lists the results of auctions of
marketable securities, other than weekly bills, in
chronological order over the past 2 years.
• Table PDO-4 indicates the total amount of
marketable securities allotted to each class of investor. The
FRBs tally into investor classes the tenders in each auction
of marketable securities other than weekly auctions of 4-,
13-, and 26-week bills.

INTRODUCTION: Ownership of Federal Securities
Federal securities presented in the following tables are
public debt securities such as savings bonds, bills, notes, and
bonds that the Treasury issues. The tables also detail debt
issued by other Federal agencies under special financing
authorities. [See the Federal debt (FD) tables for a more
complete description of the Federal debt.]
Effective January 1, 2001, Treasury’s Bureau of the
Public Debt 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 Financial Management Service (FMS)
compiles data in the “Treasury Bulletin” table OFS-1 from
the “Monthly Statement of the Public Debt of the United
States.” Effective June 2001, FMS revised procedures and
categories in this table to agree with the Bureau of the Public
Debt’s publication changes.

• 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 amount of
public debt securities held by private investors. Information
is obtained from sources such as the Federal financial
institution regulatory agencies. State, local, and foreign
holdings include special issues of nonmarketable securities
to municipal entities and foreign official accounts. They also
include municipal, foreign official, and private holdings of
marketable Treasury securities. (See footnotes to the table
for description of investor categories.)

INTRODUCTION: Market Yields
The table in this section presents yields on Treasury
marketable securities for maturities ranging from 1 month to
20 years.
Table MY-1 lists Treasury market bid yields at
constant maturities for bills, notes, and bonds. These
“constant maturity rates (CMTs)” are interpolated from
the Treasury yield curve and published daily at Treasury's
web site, www.ustreas.gov/offices/domestic -finance/debt management/interest-rate/yield.html . The yield curve is
fitted daily using a hermit cub ic spline. For inputs,
Treasury primarily uses the bid yields on the on-the -run
securities (most recently auctioned Treasury securities in
all maturity tranches that Treasury currently auctions) as
of approximately 3:30 p.m. each trading day. CMT yields
are based on semiannual interest payments and are read at
constant maturity points to develop a consistent data
series.
The quotations used by Treasury to calculate the bid
yields and fit the yield curve are obtained by the Federal

Reserve Bank of New York. The Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System also publishes the Treasury constant
maturity data series in its weekly Statistical Release H.15.
On July 31, 2001, Treasury expanded its constant
maturity index to include a 1-month constant maturity yield,
and Table MY-1 now includes a 1-month maturity beginning
on that date. On February 18, 2002, Treasury discontinued
the 30-year constant maturity yield. In lieu of the 30-year
yield, Table MY-1 now includes a 20-year maturity.
Historical data for the 20-year maturity is available from the
Board of Governors’ Statistical Release H.15.
Prior to January 2003, this section also included data on
long-term Treasury, corporate and municipal yields (Table
MY-2). Effective January 2003, Table MY-2 and Chart MYB were discontinued because Treasury no longer issues
long-term bonds and no longer calculates or estimates longterm corporate rates.
Chart MY-A, which previously was published in this
section, has been discontinued.

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.

Beginning July 1974, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) adopted a technique for valuing
the special drawing right (SDR) based on a wei ghted 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.

Treasury values its gold stock at $42.2222 per fine troy ounce and pursuant to 31 United
States Code 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.

INTRODUCTION: Capital Movements
Background
Data relating to U.S. international transactions in
financial instruments and to other portfolio capital
movements between the United States and foreign countries
have been collected in some form since 1935. This
information is necessary for compiling the U.S. balance of
payments accounts, for calculating the U.S. international
investment position, and for use in formulating U.S.
international financial and monetary policies.
From the beginning, reporting under the Treasury data
collection program has been mandatory. Under the current
Treasury International Capital (TIC) reporting system, an
assortment of monthly, quarterly, and semiannual reports are
filed with district Federal Reserve banks by commercial
banks, securities dealers, other financial institutions, and
nonbanking enterprises in the United States. These data are
centrally processed and maintained at the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York, which, along with the district banks, acts
as fiscal agent for Treasury. Beginning in late 1998, the
Federal Reserve Board also undertakes services on behalf of
Treasury in support of the TIC data collection system. The
TIC reports of individual respondents are treated as
confidential, and access to the respondent level data and to
some sensitive data aggregates is strictly limited to specific
staff of Treasury and the Federal Reserve System.
Data derived from Treasury reports are published in the
Capital Movements section of this quarterly Treasury Bulletin
and are posted monthly on the TIC website,
http://www.ustreas.gov/tic. (See NOTE at the end of the
INTRODUCTION text for additional website information.)
TIC data aggregates are also published in the Federal Reserve
Bulletin and are used in the U.S. international transactions and
investment position compilations published by the
Department of Commerce in the Survey of Current Business.
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. The most recent
revisions to selected reporting forms and instructions were
effective February 28, 2003. The major changes are outlined
under “Description of statis tics” below. Copies of the
reporting forms and instructions may be obtained from the
Office of Program Services, Office of the Assistant Secretary
for International Affairs, Treasury, Washington, D.C. 20220;
the International Finance Division, Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System, Washington, D.C. 20551; or district
FRBs. Reporting forms and instructions also may be
downloaded from the TIC website.

Basic definitions
The term “foreigner” as used in TIC reporting covers all
institutions and individuals resident outside the United

States, including U.S. citizens domiciled abroad; the foreign
branches, subsidiaries and offices of U.S. banks and business
concerns; the central governments, central banks, and other
official institutions of foreign countries, wherever located;
and international and regional organizations, wherever
located. The term “foreigner” also includes persons in the
United States to the extent that they are known by reporting
institutions to be acting on behalf of foreigners.
In general, information is reported opposite the country or
geographical area where the foreigner is located, as shown on
records of reporting institutions. This information may not
always reflect the ultimate ownership of assets. Reporting
institutions are not required to go beyond addresses shown on
their records and 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 single 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.” For
purposes of publication only, information on the European
Central Bank also is included in “Other Europe.”
“Short-term” refers to obligations payable on demand or
having an original maturity of one year or less. “Long-term”
refers to obligations having an original maturity of more
than one year and includes securities having no maturity.

Reporting coverage
TIC reports are required from banks and other depository
institutions, bank/financial holding companies (BHCs/FHCs),
securities brokers and dealers, and nonbanking concerns in
the United States, including the branches, agencies,
subsidiaries, and other affiliates in the United States of
foreign banking and nonbanking firms. Institutions with total
reportable liabilities, claims, or securities transactions below
specified reporting thresholds are exempt from reporting.
Beginning in February 2003, substantial revisions to the
coverage and formats of the TIC B-series and C-series forms
were introduced. The reasons for the changes were to
comply with new and expanded international standards for
reporting data on portfolio investment; to reduce reporting
burden; to clarify reporting concepts and instructions; and to
improve the quality of the series by closing known gaps in
the data. Notices of these changes and requests for public
comments on them were published in the Federal Register
last year and some modifications were made in response to
the comments received. A detailed outline of the changes
affecting each form may be accessed on the TIC website.

CAPITAL MOVEMENTS

Banks, other depository institutions, and securities brokers
and dealers file monthly B-series 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 and for claims on
foreigners held for respondents’ domestic customers. All
positions are exclusive of long-term securities. Beginning
January 2001, the exemption level applicable to the banking
reports was raised from $15 million to $50 million. This
exemption level is also subject to the provision that reportable
amounts for any one country do not exceed $25 million.
Banks and other depository institutions, securities
brokers and dealers, and other entities report their
transactions with foreigners by country in long-term
securities on monthly Form S. Respondents must report
securities transactions with foreigners if their aggregate
purchases or their aggregate sales amount to at least $50
million during the covered month.
Quarterly reports are filed by exporters, importers,
industrial and commercial concerns, financial institutions
(other than banks, other depository institutions, and
securities firms), and other nonbanking enterprises on their
liabilities and claims positions with foreigners. Except as
noted below under “Description of statistics,” the reportable
liabilities and claims positions are with unaffiliated
foreigners. Separate reports are filed for financial balances
and for commerc ial balances. Effective for reports filed as of
March 31, 2003, the threshold applicable to Form CQ-1 for
reporting financial liabilities to, and claims on, foreigners is
$50 million, up from $10 million. At the same time, the
reporting threshold for Form CQ-2, which covers
commercial liabilities and claims positions with foreigners,
was raised from $10 million to $25 million.
The data in these tables do not cover all types of reported
capital movements between the United States and other
countries. Except as noted in Section IV in “Description of
statistics” below, 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 U.S. balance of
payments.

Description of statistics
Data collected on the TIC forms are published in the
“Capital Movements” tables in five sections. Each section
contains all the data relevant to the same statistical series,
with tables showing time series by type and country, and
detailed breakdowns of the latest available data.

61

• Section I covers liabilities to foreigners reported by
banks, other depository institutions, and securities brokers
and dealers in the United States. BHCs/FHCs also report for
all domestic nonbank, non-securities firm affiliates, other
than their insurance affiliates, which report separately on the
C-series forms. Dollar-denominated liabilities are reported
monthly on Forms BL-1 and BL-2. Liabilities denominated
in foreign currencies are reported quarterly on Form BQ-2.
Respondents report certain of their own liabilities and a wide
range of their custody liabilities to foreigners. Effective with
reports filed as of February 28, 2003, coverage was
broadened to cover the positions of U.S. broker-dealer
respondents with their affiliated foreign offices. (Depository
institutions and BHCs/FHCs already reported such
positions.) The scope of the reports was also extended to
include cross-border brokerage balances as well as offshore
sweep accounts and loans to U.S. residents in “managed”
foreign offices of U.S. reporting institutions. Additionally, in
a new Part 2, Form BQ-2 was expanded to include the
foreign currency-denominated liabilities held by respondents
for their domestic customers. Further, banks’ own positions
have been defined to be consistent with regulatory reports
such as the FR 2950/2951 to include all amounts in the
respondent’s “due to/due from” accounts, unless in an
instrument that is specifically excluded. Finally, the columns
for demand deposits and non-transactions accounts are now
combined, as are short-term U.S. agency securities and other
negotiable and readily transferable instruments.
• Section II presents claims on foreigners reported by
banks, other depository institutions, and securities brokers
and dealers in the United States. BHCs/FHCs also report for
their domestic nonbank and non-securities firm affiliates,
other than their insurance affiliates, which report separately
on the C-series forms. Data on respondents’ own dollar
claims are collected monthly on Form BC. Information on
claims held for domestic customers as well as on claims
denominated in foreign currencies is collected on a quarterly
basis only on Forms BQ-1 and BQ-2, respectively. Effective
with reports filed as of February 28, 2003, reporting
coverage was expanded as outlined in Section I.
Additionally, columns were added for separate reporting of
negotiable CDs and other short-term negotiable instruments
issued by foreigners. Further, the foreigner category,
“foreign official institutions,” replaced the former, broader
category, “foreign public borrowers,” for consistency with
the liabilities reporting on this sector.
• 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, and securities 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

62

CAPITAL MOVEMENTS

banks, other depository institutions, and securities brokers
and dealers), and other nonbanking enterprises in the United
States. Data exclude claims on foreigners held by banks in
the United States.
Historically, the information does not include any
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 Commerce on its direct investment forms.
However, effective with reports filed as of March 31, 2003,
a number of changes were introduced in the coverage and
reporting formats of nonbanking forms. A major revision is
the addition of Section B to Form CQ-1 to capture foreign
affiliate positions (including those with affiliates of the
respondent’s parent) of insurance underwriting subsidiaries
and financial intermediaries. Insurance underwriting
subsidiaries of BHCs/FHCs now include positions vis -à-vis
all foreign-resident affiliates. From end-March 2003
forward, financial intermediaries are to report positions vis à-vis all foreign-resident affiliated financial intermediaries.

• Section V contains information on transactions with
foreigners in long-term domestic and foreign securities as
reported by banks, securities brokers and dealers, and other
entities in the United States. The data cover transactions
executed in the United States for the accounts of foreigners
and transactions executed abroad for the accounts of
reporting institutions and their domestic customers. This
includes transactions in newly-issued securities as well as
transactions in, and redemptions of, outstanding issues.

However, the data do not include nonmarketable Treasury
bonds and notes shown in table IFS-3.
The geographical allocation of the transactions data
indicates the country of location of the foreign buyers and
sellers who deal directly with reporting institutions in the
United States. The data do not necessarily indicate the
country of beneficial owner or issuer, or the currency of
denomination of securities. For instance, a U.S. purchaser’s
order for Japanese securities may be placed directly with an
intermediary in London. In this instance, the transaction for
Form S reporting purposes would be recorded opposite the
United Kingdom and not opposite Japan. Similarly,
purchases and sales of U.S. securities for the account of an
Italian resident may be placed, for example, in the Swiss
market. In that case, the trades would be reported opposite
Switzerland and not opposite Italy.
NOTE: Current and historical data on United States
transactions with foreigners in long-term securities and on
the gross foreign liabilities and claims reported by banks in
the United States are available on the TIC website:
http://www.ustreas.gov/tic. These data may be downloaded
as separate time series for each country or geographical area
regularly shown in the capital mo vements tables. Also
available on this website are other series, including a table
on “Major Foreign Holders of Treasury Securities,” showing
estimated total holdings of U.S. Treasury bills, bonds and
notes for current and recent periods. All data series on the
TIC website are updated monthly.

CHART CM-A.—U.S. Liabilities to Foreigners
Reported by U.S. Banks, Brokers, and Dealers with Respect to Selected Countries
1100

U.S. banking liabilities to
foreigners, excluding long-term
securities, were recorded at
about $2.6 trillion in March
2004, an increase of about $174
billion from yearend 2003. U.S.
banking liabilities increased
about $317 billion in 2003.
Much of the increase in
liabilities to foreigners in 2003
reflects changes to the reporting
scope of the TIC reporting
system effective February 2003.
Between March and December,
when data are reported on a
consistent basis, banking
liabilities increased about $126
billion.

United Kingdom and banking
centers in the Caribbean. These

CHART CM-B.—U.S. Claims on Foreigners
Reported by U.S. Banks, Brokers, and Dealers with Respect to Selected Countries
700

In December 2003, U.S.
banking claims, excluding
long-term securities, amounted
to about $1.7 trillion, an
increase of about $191 billion
from yearend 2002. In large
part, the increase in claims
reflects changes to the reporting
scope of the TIC reporting
system effective February 2003.
Between March and December,
when data are reported on a
consistent basis, banking claims
increased $6 billion.

Includes Bahamas, Bermuda, British West Indies, Netherlands Antilles, and Panama.
Beginning January 2001, Cayman Islands replaced British West Indies in reporting format.

As with U.S. banking liabilities,
U.S. banking claims on
foreigners are concentrated in
international financial centers.
About 60 percent of these
claims are reported opposite the
United Kingdom and banking
centers in the Caribbean. These
financial centers also accounted
for most of the increase in U.S.
banking claims in 2003. The
share of claims against
foreigners domiciled in Asia
has declined over the past
several years from about 20
percent at the end of 1996 to
less than 10 percent currently.

The data on this page represent
foreign investors’ purchases and
sales of long-term U.S. securities
(that is, U.S. Treasury and
Government agency bonds and
notes, and U.S. corporate bonds
and stocks) as reported to the TIC
reporting system. Foreign
investors also acquired U.S.
equities through mergers that
involve stock swaps. Net foreign
acquisitions of U.S. equities
through stock swaps have been
modest, amounting to $21 billion
in 2000, $7 billion in both 2001
and 2002, $2 billion in 2003, and
$3 billion in the first quarter of
2004. (Stock swaps data for the
most recent quarter are Federal
Reserve Board/Treasury estimates
and are subject to substantial
revisions.) These stock swaps are
not reported under the TIC
reporting system, but are now
available on the TIC web site.
The data present aggregate net
purchases for 2000 through the
first quarter of 2004. The figures
show that foreigners’ annual net
purchases (gross purchases minus
gross sales) of U.S. securities
have maintained an extremely
high level since 2000.

Annual net foreign purchases of
U.S. securities first surpassed
$100 billion in 1993. In 2003, net
acquisitions (including stock
swaps) of U.S. securities totaled a
record $746 billion. Net
acquisitions in the first quarter of
2004 were even stronger at $270
billion.

Foreign Securities by U.S. Investors*

The data on this page represent
U.S. investors’ purchases and
sales of long-term foreign
securities as reported to the TIC
reporting system. However, in the
past several years, U.S. investors
also have acquired a substantial
amount of foreign stocks, mostly
European, through mergers that
involve stock swaps. Net
acquisitions through stock swaps
amounted to $80 billion in 2000,
$45 billion in 2001, $3 billion in
2002, $17 billion in 2003, and $1
billion in the first quarter of 2004.
(Stock swaps data for the most
recent quarter are Federal Reserve
Board/Treasury estimates and are
subject to substantial revisions.)
These stock s waps are not
reported under the TIC reporting
system, but are now available on
the TIC web site.

* Net purchases by U.S. investors equal net sales by foreigners, or gross sales minus gross purchases of securities.

Including the stock swaps, annual
U.S. net purchases of long-term
foreign securities averaged about
$100 billion from the mid-1990s
through 2000, without much
variation from year to year. Since
then, however, U.S. investors’
acquisitions of foreign securities
(including stock swaps) have been
more modest, with acquisitions of
$65 billion in 2001, net sales of
$24 billion in 2002, and
acquisitions of $62 billion in
2003. In the first quarter of 2004,
acquisitions amounted to $15
billion.

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, 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.

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 Treasury reports.
Tables I-3 through VI-3 present quarterly consolidated
currency data reported by large market participants and
FFIEC reporters that do not file weekly reports.
Principal exchanged under cross-currency interest rate
swaps is reported as part of purchases or sales of foreign
exchange. Such principal also 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.”

INTRODUCTION: Financial Report of the United States Government
The following pages are excerpted from the 2003
Financial Report of the United States Government (Financial
Report). The report and accompanying information, prepared
and published annually by the Financial Management Service,
are modeled after corporate-type reports and are developed on
an accrual basis of accounting.
The excerpts represent some of the most noteworthy
information contained in the Financial Report. Data for the
Financial Report are compiled from Federal program agency

accounting systems Governmentwide. Treasury also presents
a management discussion and analysis, the customary notes
to the financial statements, a section on stewardship
information, and supplemental information in the complete
document.
The General Accounting Office (GAO) is required by
law to audit the Financial Report. GAO’s report, as well as
the complete Financial Report, can be accessed easily
through the internet at www.fms.treas.gov/ fr .

112

FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, EXCERPT

Financial Statements
of the United States Government
for the Years Ended September 30, 2003
and September 30, 2002
Statements of Net Cost
These statements present the net cost of fiscal years 2003 and 2002 Government operations. For the purposes of this
document, “Government” refers to the United States Government. It categorizes costs by Chief Financial Officer Act entities
and other significant entities. Costs are presented by department on an accrual basis, while the budget presents costs by
obligations and outlays based on functions on a cash basis. In the Statements of Net Cost, the costs are divided between the
corresponding departments and entities mentioned above, providing greater accountability by showing the relationship of the
agencies’ net cost to the Governmentwide net cost. The focus of the budget of the United States is by agency. Budgets are
prepared, defended, and monitored by agency. In reporting by agency, we are assisting the external users in assessing the
budget integrity, operating performance, stewardship, and systems and control of the Federal Government.
These statements contain the following three components:
• Gross cost—This is the full cost of all the departments and entities. These costs are assigned on a cause-and-effect
basis, or reasonably allocated to the corresponding departments and entities.
• Earned revenue—This is revenue the Government earned by providing goods and services to the public at a price.
• Net cost—This is computed by subtracting earned revenue from gross cost.
Because of their specific functions, most of the costs originally associated with the General Services Administration
(GSA) and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) have been allocated to and reflected in the costs of their user
agencies. The remaining costs for GSA and OPM on the Statements of Net Cost are the administrative operating costs, the
expenses from prior and past costs from health and pension plan amendments, and the actuarial gains and losses for these
agencies. $123.4 billion has been allocated out of OPM to the agencies. This represents health and pension benefits that are
not reported in the individual agency statements. The interest on Treasury securities held by the public is part of the
Department of the Treasury’s (Treasury) responsibilities, but because of its importance, and the dollar amounts, it is reported
separately in these statements. Net cost for Governmentwide reporting purposes includes GSA and OPM agency allocations,
and is net of intragovernmental eliminations. For this reason, individual agency net cost amounts will not agree with the
agency’s financial statements.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Reorganization Plan was enacted on November 25, 2002, and
beginning with this 2003 Financial Report of the United States Government (Financial Report), DHS is reported as a
separate entity. Refer to Note 1A—Reporting Entity for further information. Also, refer to the Management’s
Discussion and Analysis section for information concerning DHS and the mission and organization of the components
of the Government of the United States.

Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Position
These statements report the results of Government operations. They include unearned revenues that are generated
principally by the Government’s sovereign power to tax, levy duties, and assess fines and penalties. These statements also cover
the cost of Government operations, net of revenue earned from the sale of goods and services to the public (earned revenues).
They further include any adjustments and unreconciled transactions that affect the net position.

FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, EXCERPT

113

Revenue
Individual income tax and tax withholdings consist of Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA)/Self-Employment
Contributions Act (SECA) taxes and other taxes including payroll taxes collected from other agencies.
Excise taxes consist of taxes collected for various items, such as airline tickets, gasoline products, distilled spirits and
imported liquor, tobacco, firearms, and others.
Miscellaneous earned revenues consist of earned revenues received from the public with virtually no associated
cost. This category includes revenues generated by the Federal Communications Commission from the sale of
spectrum licenses to promote open-air communication services to the public (spectrum auctions). It also includes
rents and royalties on the Outer Continental Shelf Lands resulting from the leasing and development of mineral
resources on public lands.

Net Cost of Government Operations
The net cost of Government operations (which is gross cost less earned revenue) flows through from the Statements of
Net Cost.

Unreconciled Transactions Affecting the Change
in Net Position
Unreconciled transactions are adjustments needed to bring the change in net position into balance due to unreconciled
and unaccounted for differences in the consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 16—Unreconciled Transactions
Affecting the Change in Net Position for detailed information.

Net Position, Beginning of Period
The net position, beginning of period reflects the net position reported on the prior year’s balance sheet as of the end of
that fiscal year.

Prior Period Adjustments
Prior period adjustments are revisions to adjust the beginning net position. Refer to Note 1B—Basis of Accounting and
Revenue Recognition, and Note 17—Change in Accounting Principle and Prior Period Adjustments for detailed information.

Net Position, End of Period
The net position, end of period amount reflects the net position as of the end of the fiscal year.

Reconciliations of Net Operating Cost and Unified Budget
Deficit
The purpose of the reconciliation is to report how the proprietary net operating cost and the unified budget deficit relate
to each other. The premise of the reconciliation is that the accrual and budgetary accounting basis share transaction data.
These statements report the reconciliation of the results of operations (net operating cost) on the Statements of
Operations and Changes in Net Position to the unified budget deficit in the President’s budget.

114

FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, EXCERPT

Receipts and outlays in the President’s budget are measured primarily on a cash basis and differ from the basis of
accounting measures used in the Financial Report. These statements begin with the net results of operations (net operating
cost), where operating revenues are reported on a modified cash basis of accounting and the net cost of Government
operations on an accrual basis of accounting. Reconciling items to (1) operating revenues include net accrual related to taxes
receivables and (2) net cost of Government operations include items such as changes in liabilities for military, veteran and
civilian benefits, as well as depreciation expenses on fixed assets and changes in environmental liabilities.

Components of Net Operating Cost Not Part of the
Budget Deficit
This information includes the operating components, such as the changes of benefits payable for veterans, military and
civilian employees, and the environmental liabilities and depreciation expense not included in the budget results.

Components of the Budget Deficit Not Part of Net
Operating Cost
This information includes the budget components, such as capitalized fixed assets, changes in accounts receivable, and
increases in other assets not included in the operating results. These items are typically part of the balance sheets only, and
are not part of the operating results.

Statements of Changes in Cash Balance from Unified
Budget and Other Activities
The primary purpose of these statements is to report how the annual unified budget deficit relates to the change in the
Government’s operating cash balance and debt held by the public. It explains why the unified budget deficit normally would
not result in an equivalent change in the Government’s operating cash balance.
These statements reconcile the unified budget deficit to the change in operating cash during the fiscal year, and explain
how the budget deficits (fiscal years 2003 and 2002) are financed. A budget deficit is the result of expenditures exceeding
receipts (revenue) during a particular fiscal year.
In depicting how the unified budget deficits were financed, these statements show that in fiscal years 2003 and 2002, the
greatest amounts were net new borrowings from the public. Other transactions also required cash disbursements and are not
part of the repayments of the debt. These other transactions, such as the issuance of student loans or premiums on early
buyback of public debt, required cash payments and contributed to the use of the surplus or deficit. These statements show
the differences between accrual and cash budgetary basis, mainly because of timing differences in the financial statements.

Balance Sheets
The balance sheets show the Government’s assets and liabilities. When combined with stewardship information, this
information presents a more comprehensive understanding of the Government’s financial position. All of the line items on
the balance sheets are described in the Notes to the Financial Statements.

Assets
Assets included on the balance sheets are resources of the Government that remain available to meet future needs. The
most significant assets that are reported on the balance sheets are property, plant, and equipment, inventories, and loans
receivable. There are, however, other significant resources available to the Government that extend beyond the assets

FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, EXCERPT

115

presented in these financial statements. Those resources include stewardship assets, including natural resources (see
Stewardship Information section), and the Govern ment’s sovereign powers to tax, regulate commerce, and set monetary
policy.
In May 2003, SFFAS No. 23, Eliminating the Category National Defense Property, Plant, and Equipment, removed
national defense assets from Stewardship Information and included it on the balance sheet as part of inventories and related
property, net and property, plant, and equipment, net. Refer to Note 1B—Basis of Accounting and Revenue Recognition;
Note 6—Inventories and Related Property, Net; and Note 7—Property, Plant, and Equipment, Net for further information.
Selected assets are highlighted in the Stewardship Information section of this report to demonstrate the Government’s
accountability for these assets. Stewardship assets include stewardship land and heritage assets.

Liabilities and Net Position
Liabilities are obligations of the Government resulting from prior actions that will require financial resources. The most
significant liabilities reported on the balance sheets are Federal debt securities held by the public and accrued interest and
Federal employee and veteran benefits payable. Liabilities also include social insurance benefits due and payable as of the
reporting date.
As with reported assets, the Government’s responsibilities, policy commitments, and contingencies are much broader
than these reported balance sheet liabilities. They include the social insurance programs disclosed in the Statements of Social
Insurance in the Stewardship Information section, and a wide range of other programs under which the Government provides
benefits and services to the people of this Nation, and certain future loss contingencies.
The magnitude and complexity of social insurance programs, coupled with the extreme sensitivity of projections
relating to the many assumptions of the programs, produce a wide range of possible results. The Stewardship Responsibilities
section describes the social insurance programs, reports long-range estimates that can be used to assess the financial
condition of the programs, and explains some of the factors that impact the various programs. Using this information, readers
can apply their own judgment as to the condition and sustainability of the individual programs.
Each of the social insurance programs has an associated trust fund to account for its activity. The taxes collected for
specific use are credited to the corresponding trust fund that will use these funds to meet a particular Government purpose. If
the collections from taxes and other sources exceed the payments to the beneficiaries, the excess collections are invested in
Treasury securities or “loaned” to the Treasury’s general fund; therefore, the trust fund balances do not represent cash. An
explanation of the trust funds for social insurance and many of the other large trust funds is included in Note 20—Dedicated
Collections. That note also contains information about trust fund receipts, disbursements, and assets.
The Government has entered into contractual commitments requiring the future use of financial resources and has
unresolved contingencies where existing conditions, situations, or circumstances create uncertainty about future losses.
Commitments as well as contingencies that do not meet the criteria for recognition as liabilities on the balance sheets, but for
which there is at least a reasonable possibility that losses have been incurred, are disclosed in Note 18—Contingent
Liabilities and Note 19—Commitments.
Because of its sovereign power to tax and borrow, and the country’s wide economic base, the Government has unique
access to financial resources through generating tax revenues and issuing Federal debt securities. This provides the
Government with the ability to meet present obligations and those that are anticipated from future operations and are not
reflected in net position.

Glossary
With References to Applicable Sections and Tables
Source: Financial Management Service
Accrued discount (SBN-1, -2, -3)—Interest that accumulates
on savings bonds from the date of purchase until the date of
redemption or final maturity, whichever comes first. Series A,
B, C, D, E, EE, F, I, and J are discount or accrual type
bonds—meaning principal and interest are paid when bonds
are redeemed. Series G, H, HH, and K are current-income
bonds, and the semiannual interest paid to their holders is not
included in accrued discount.

Coupon issue—The issue of bonds or notes (public debt).

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.

Debt outstanding subject to limitation (FD -6)—The debt
incurred by the Treasury subject to the statutory limit set by
Congress. Until World War I, a specific amount of debt was
authorized to each separate security issue. Beginning with the
Second Liberty Loan Act of 1917, the nature of the limitation
was modified until, in 1941, it developed into an overall limit
on the outstanding Federal debt. As of March 2004, the debt
limit was $7,384,000 million; the limit may change from year
to year.

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 also may 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).

Currency no longer issued (USCC)—Old and new series
gold and silver certificates, Federal Reserve notes, national
bank notes, and 1890 Series Treasury notes.
Current income bonds (“U.S. Savings Bonds and Notes”)—
Bonds paying semiannual interest to holders. Interest is not
included in accrued discount.

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
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.
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).

Cash management bills (PDO-2)—Marketable Treasury
bills of irregular maturity lengths, sold periodically to fund
short-term cash needs of Treasury. Their sale, having higher
minimum and multiple purchase requirements than those of
other issues, is generally restricted to competitive bidders.

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).

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.)

increase international liquidity and provide additional
international reserves. SDRs may be purchased and sold
among eligible holders through IMF. (See IMF.)

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-1, -3)—Separate Trading of Registered Interest

divided into principal and interest-paying components, which

for each issue. The amount is an arithmetic function of the
issue’s interest rate.
