Profile of the Economy
[Source: Office of Macroeconomic Analysis]
As of August 8, 2013

Introduction
The pace of real gross domestic product (GDP) growth
accelerated in the second quarter, after having picked up in
the first quarter of 2013. Stronger growth in fixed
investment, a smaller fiscal drag from government spending,
and slightly faster growth of residential investment all
contributed to the acceleration, which occurred as financial
stresses from the sovereign debt crisis in Europe began to
ease. These factors were partially offset by a wider trade
deficit and slower growth in consumer spending and private
inventories. Job creation continued at a moderate pace
during the first quarter of 2013. The economy has added 7.3
million private sector jobs since job growth resumed in early
2010, and the unemployment rate has declined 2.6
percentage points from its peak level of 10 percent in
October 2009, but remained elevated at 7.4 percent as of
July 2013. Conditions in the housing sector continued to
improve, with house prices in particular showing solid and
steady gains, supported in part by tighter supply.
Although the Administration has taken a number of steps
in recent years to promote stronger economic growth in the
near-term, it has also pursued deficit reduction measures in
the interests of the nation’s longer-term growth. More than
$2.5 trillion in deficit reduction measures have been enacted
over the past 2 years, including the January 2013 signing of
the American Taxpayer Relief Act (ATRA), which will
reduce the deficit by an estimated $737 billion over the next
10 years. An additional $1.2 trillion in sequester-related
spending cuts took effect in March 2013. Since fiscal year
2009, the federal budget deficit has fallen from a peak of
10.1 percent of GDP to 7.0 percent in fiscal year 2012.
At its most recent meeting in July 2013, the Federal
Reserve’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC)
announced it would maintain its monetary stance, including
existing programs of asset purchase, reinvestment of
principal payments, and roll-overs of maturing Treasuries at
auction.

Economic Growth
Since the current expansion began in mid-2009, the
economy has grown by about 9.0 percent and, as of the
second quarter of 2013, real GDP was 4.4 percent above its
level at the end of 2007, when the recession began.
According to the advance estimate, real GDP rose 1.7
percent at an annual rate during the second quarter of 2013,
after increasing by 1.1 percent in the first quarter of last
year. The acceleration in growth in the latest quarter
reflected a rebound in business fixed investment spending, a
smaller drag from government spending cuts, and slightly
faster growth in residential investment. These factors were

partly offset by slower growth of personal consumption
expenditures, a slower pace of business inventory
accumulation, and a much larger drag from net exports
compared to the prior quarter. Consensus forecasts currently
put real GDP growth in the third quarter of 2013 at a 2.3
percent annual rate.
Private domestic final demand (consumption plus private
fixed investment, considered a better measure of underlying
private demand because it subtracts out government
spending, inventory movements, and net exports) grew at a
2.6 percent annual rate in the second quarter, accelerating
from the first quarter’s 1.5 percent pace. Real personal
consumption expenditures—which account for about 70
percent of GDP—rose at a 1.8 percent annual rate in the
second quarter, slowing from the 2.3 percent rise in the first
quarter. Consumption added 1.2 percentage points to real
GDP growth in the latest quarter.
Residential
investment—mostly
residential
homebuilding—grew 13.4 percent in the second quarter,
accelerating from a 12.5 percent pace in the first quarter.
Residential activity added 0.4 percentage point to secondquarter real GDP growth. For the past eleven consecutive
quarters, the first such string of advances in this sector since
2005, growth in residential investment has averaged nearly
11 percent per quarter. Significantly, residential investment
grew by nearly 13 percent in 2012, the strongest yearly
increase since 1992.
Noteworthy progress has been made in the housing
market over the past year, as captured by several measures.
Although single-family housing starts fell 0.8 percent in
June 2013 to 591,000 units at an annual rate, this was still
11.5 percent above the level in June 2012. The level of
single-family starts has risen by more than 75 percent from a
September 2013

4

PROFILE OF THE ECONOMY

low of 353,000 in March 2009, but in June 2013, it was still
about 68 percent below the January 2006 peak, and well
below the 1.1 million unit average observed from 1980 to
2004. Sales of new single-family homes have risen by 38
percent over the past year, reaching 497,000 at an annual
rate in June 2013. Sales of existing single-family homes (94
percent of all home sales) increased more than 15 percent
over the past year to 5.08 million at an annual rate in June
2013. The inventory of homes available for sale has trended
lower. As of June, the number of new single-family homes
for sale was near a record low (dating back to 1963).
Relative to sales, there was a 3.9-month supply of new
homes on the market, below its long-run average. The
inventory of existing single-family homes has also fallen
noticeably, relative to sales. In June, it stood at a 5.2-month
supply, down considerably from a peak of 12.1 months in
June 2010. House price measures continue to rise, reflecting
a pick-up in demand and tight inventories in some markets.
The FHFA purchase-only house price index rose 0.7 percent
in May, and was up 7.3 percent in the year through May, the
second-strongest 12-month gain since mid-2006, and the
16th straight month of year-over-year increases in this index.
In May 2013, the Standard & Poor’s (S&P)/Case-Shiller
composite 20-city home price index increased 1.0 percent to
its highest level since October 2008, and rose 12.2 percent
year-over-year, the largest year-over-year gain since March
2006. Reflecting growing optimism in the housing market,
the May 2013 Zillow Home Price Expectations Survey
predicted that home prices will rise by 5.4 percent in 2013,
and by 4.4 percent in 2014.
Nonresidential fixed investment—about 12 percent of
GDP—grew 4.6 percent (annual rate) in the second quarter
of 2013, reversing an identical decline in the first quarter.
The rebound in business fixed investment partly reflected a
large swing in investment in structures. Outlays for
structures rose 6.8 percent in the second quarter of this year,
after plunging by almost 26 percent in the first quarter.
Growth in business spending on equipment accelerated to
4.1 percent in the second quarter, after rising by 1.6 percent
in the first quarter. Investment in intellectual property
products—a new category that includes outlays for software,
research and development, and entertainment, literary and
artistic originals—grew 3.8 percent in the second quarter,
little changed from the pace recorded in the first quarter.
Altogether, nonresidential fixed investment added 0.6
percentage point to real GDP growth in the second quarter of
2013. Inventory accumulation made a smaller but positive
contribution to growth in the first quarter, adding 0.4
percentage point to GDP growth, after making a 0.9
percentage point contribution in the first quarter.
Exports account for about 13 percent of GDP, while
imports (which are subtracted from total domestic spending
to calculate GDP) account for about 17 percent. After
contributing nearly 1 percentage point, on average, to
quarterly GDP growth in 2007 through 2009, net exports
subtracted 0.5 percentage point in 2010, and then added 0.1

September 2013

percentage point in 2011 and 2012. In the second quarter of
2013, the net export deficit widened as exports rose 5.4
percent, but imports increased 9.5 percent. Net exports
subtracted 0.8 percentage point from GDP growth in the
second quarter, after reducing growth by 0.3 percentage
point in the first quarter.
The current account balance (reflecting international
trade in goods and services, investment income flows, and
unilateral transfers) has been in deficit almost continuously
since the early 1980s and, in 2006, reached a record $798
billion, equivalent to 6.0 percent of GDP. After narrowing to
$382 billion (2.7 percent of GDP) in 2009, the current
account deficit widened again to $449 billion (3.1 percent of
GDP) in 2010 and to $458 billion (3.0 percent of GDP) in
2011. It narrowed in 2012, to $440 billion, or 2.8 percent of
GDP. As of the first quarter of 2013, the current account
deficit had narrowed further, to $427 billion, or 2.7 percent
of GDP.
Government purchases—which account for close to 20
percent of GDP—fell 0.4 percent in the second quarter of
2013, far less than the 4.2 percent drop in the first quarter of
2013. Government outlays for consumption and investment
have fallen in 12 of the past 15 quarters and, in the second
quarter of this year, subtracted 0.1 percentage point from
real GDP growth. Federal spending fell 1.5 percent in the
second quarter after declining 8.4 percent in the first quarter.
After 10 straight quarterly declines in State and local
government spending—the longest period of falling
expenditures at this level of government in postwar
history—State and local spending grew 0.6 percent in the
second quarter of 2012, but fell again in the subsequent three
quarters. In the second quarter of 2013, however, State and
local spending rose 0.3 percent, and made a slightly positive
contribution to real GDP growth.

Labor Markets
During the recession (from December 2007 through June
2009), the economy lost 7.7 million private-sector jobs. Job
losses continued even after the recovery began but, in
February 2010, nonfarm payrolls began to rise again. Since
then, through July 2013, total nonfarm payroll employment
has grown by nearly 6.7 million. In the private sector,
employment has increased by 7.3 million during the same
period.
Job losses during the recession were spread broadly
across most sectors but, with the resumption of job growth,
all of these sectors have added jobs. Since the labor market
recovery began in early 2010, payrolls in professional and
business services have risen by more than 2 million, and the
leisure and hospitality industries’ employment has increased
by 1.3 million through July 2013. Growth in manufacturing
payrolls has slowed in recent months, but payrolls have
grown by 515,000 since early 2010. A few sectors continued
to add jobs throughout the recession and still continue to hire
new workers: since early 2010, the health care and social
assistance sector has added an additional 1 million jobs. The

PROFILE OF THE ECONOMY

government sector also added workers to payrolls during the
recession, but the State and local sectors have since cut
employment considerably, although at a slower pace in more
recent months. From February 2010 through July 2013,
government sector job losses totaled 618,000. Over that
same period, State and local job losses numbered 494,000,
including 369,000 local government jobs (of which 269,000
were in local education).
The unemployment rate peaked at 10.0 percent in
October 2009—a 26-year high—and 5.6 percentage points
above the May 2007 low of 4.4 percent. Over the next 3
years, the unemployment rate trended lower, reaching 7.4
percent in July 2013. Broader measures of unemployment
have also declined. One such measure, that includes workers
who are underemployed and those who are only marginally
attached to the labor force (the U-6 unemployment rate),
reached a record high of 17.2 percent in October 2009
(series dates from 1994)—nearly double its level of 8.8
percent in December 2007. This measure stood at 14.0
percent in July 2013. The percentage of the unemployed who
have been out of work for 27 weeks or more peaked at an
all-time high of 45.5 percent in March 2011. This measure
dropped to 36.7 percent in June, an almost four-year low, but
rose to 37.0 percent in July.

percent increase in the year through June 2012. On a 12month basis, core consumer prices (excluding food and
energy) rose 1.6 percent through June 2013, less than the 2.2
percent advance in the year through June 2012, and the
smallest increase in 2 years.
Energy prices have increased in recent months. The
front-month futures price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI)
crude oil averaged $104.55 per barrel in July 2013, up nearly
$17 from the July 2012 average. The retail price of regular
gasoline averaged $3.59 per gallon in July 2013, up 15 cents
from a year earlier. Prices for crude oil and gasoline
remained below the all-time highs reached in July 2008, of
$147 per barrel and $4.11 per gallon, respectively.

Inflation
Headline inflation has generally leveled off over the past
year, while core inflation (excluding food and energy) has
moderated. Headline consumer prices rose 1.8 percent over
the 12 months ending in June 2013, just above the 1.7
percent rise over the year through June 2012. Energy prices
advanced 3.2 percent in the year through June, after falling
by 3.9 percent in the previous year. Food prices rose 1.4
percent over the year through June 2013, about half the 2.7

PROFILE OF THE ECONOMY

Federal Budget and Debt
The federal budget deficit narrowed to $1.1 trillion in
fiscal year 2012, dropping sharply as a percentage of GDP to
7.0 percent from 8.7 percent in fiscal year 2011. The deficit
has declined by roughly 3 percentage points as a share of the
economy from a peak of 10.1 percent in fiscal year 2009,
making the past three years the most rapid period of fiscal
consolidation that the U.S. has experienced since the year
following the end of World War II.
On March 1, 2013, $1.2 trillion in mandated public
spending cuts, collectively known as the sequester, took
effect. In April 2013, the Administration released its Fiscal
Year 2014 budget proposal, which would replace the
sequester with a deficit reduction package worth $1.8 trillion
over the next 10 years. Together with the $2.5 trillion in
deficit reduction measures enacted in the previous 2 years,
these measures would bring the total amount of deficit
reduction over 10 years to $4.3 trillion. The
Administration’s Mid-Session Review of the Fiscal Year
2014 Budget, released in early July, shows a smaller deficit
in Fiscal Year 2013 than previously forecast, reflecting
stronger-than-expected revenue growth, lower outlays for
discretionary and mandatory programs, the implementation
of spending cuts under the Budget Control Act, and
increased dividend payments to the Treasury from Fannie
Mae and Freddie Mac. The budget deficit is projected to
decline to 6.0 percent of GDP in fiscal year 2013, to 4.5
percent of GDP in fiscal year 2014, and to dip below 3
percent of GDP by fiscal year 2017. The primary deficit—
receipts less outlays, excluding net interest—would reach
balance in fiscal year 2019, at which point spending would
no longer add to the national debt.
The national debt-to-GDP ratio is projected to peak at
78.2 percent in fiscal years 2014 and 2015, and then begin to
decline, falling to 73 percent of GDP in fiscal year 2023.

Economic Policy
Key fiscal and monetary policy actions taken over the
past few years have aided the recovery. On the fiscal policy
side, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)
authorized the Federal Government to spend $787 billion to
stimulate domestic demand, an amount that was increased to
$840 billion to be consistent with the President’s Fiscal Year
2012 Budget. This spending provided an important boost to
economic activity, but the Administration also proposed and
implemented a variety of additional programs to maintain
the recovery’s momentum. These included an extension and
expansion of the first-time home buyer tax credit, a new
Small Business Jobs and Wages Tax Credit, and additional
financial support for State and local Governments. In
December 2010, the 2010 Tax Relief Act authorized a 2
percentage point payroll tax cut, extensions of
unemployment benefits and refundable tax credits, and a 2year extension of the 2001 tax cuts. In late December 2011,
the 2 percentage point payroll tax cut and extended

September 2013

unemployment benefits included in the 2010 tax legislation,
were each extended for 2 additional months. In late February
2012, the extension of the payroll tax cut and extended
unemployment benefits for the remainder of 2012 were
signed into law.
In January 2013, the ATRA was signed into law. The
ATRA permanently extended tax cuts for the vast majority
of Americans and small businesses, extended Emergency
Unemployment benefits for an additional year, extended a
variety of other tax cuts and credits, postponed the sequester,
originally scheduled to take effect on January 1, until March
1, 2013, and raised tax rates for high-income earners.
Altogether, the ATRA is projected to reduce the deficit by
$737 billion over the next decade.
Partly in response to rising financial market stress, as
well as to signs of more slowing in the broader economy, the
Federal Reserve began easing monetary policy in September
2007. By late 2008, the FOMC had lowered the federal
funds target interest rate dramatically, reducing it to a
historically low target range of 0 percent to 0.25 percent at
the December 2008 FOMC meeting. Beginning with the
August 2011 meeting, the FOMC also began identifying an
expected timeframe for maintaining the Federal funds rate
target at “exceptionally low levels.” Initially put at mid2013, the timeframe was extended to “at least late 2014” at
the January 2012 FOMC meeting, and then to “at least mid2015” at the September 2012 meeting, a timeframe for the
target range which was maintained at the October 2012
meeting. At the December 2012 meeting, however, the
FOMC implemented numerical targets for its policy rate
guidance. Specifically, the FOMC indicated that it would
maintain the target range as long as the unemployment rate
remained above 6.5 percent, inflation between 1 and 2 years
ahead is projected to be no more than 0.5 percentage point
above the FOMC’s 2 percent longer-run goal, and long-term
inflation expectations remain well anchored. These
numerical targets were maintained at the FOMC’s most
recent meeting in July 2013.
The Federal Reserve significantly expanded its tools to
increase liquidity in credit markets, and eased lending terms
to sectors in need of liquidity, including a variety of facilities
and funds directed at specific financial markets. As of June
30, 2010, all of these special facilities had expired. At the
August 2010 FOMC meeting, the Federal Reserve
announced it would maintain its holdings of securities at
current levels by reinvesting principal payments from
agency debt and agency mortgage-backed securities in
longer-term Treasury securities, and continue rolling over
the Federal Reserve’s holdings of Treasury securities as they
mature. At the end of June 2011, the FOMC completed
purchases of $600 billion of longer-term Treasury securities.
At the September 2011 meeting, the FOMC announced it
would extend the average maturity of its holdings (a socalled “twist” operation) by purchasing $400 billion of
longer-term (6 to 30 years) Treasury securities and selling an
equal amount of shorter-term (3 years or less) Treasury

PROFILE OF THE ECONOMY

securities, all by the end of June 2012. The Committee also
announced the reinvestment of principal payments from its
holdings of agency debt and agency mortgage-backed
securities into the latter securities. At the June 2012 meeting,
the FOMC extended and expanded its program to extend the
average maturity of its holdings (the so-called “twist”
operation announced in September 2011). At the September
2012 meeting, the FOMC announced it would increase
monetary accommodation through $40 billion per month in
additional purchases of mortgage-backed securities through
the end of the year. The FOMC announced additional
monetary accommodation at the December 2012 meeting,
including the completion of short-term securities sales
(which drain liquidity) and the continuation of purchases of
long-term Treasury securities at a rate of $45 billion per
month beyond the end of 2012. The FOMC also indicated
that monthly purchases of mortgage-backed securities at a
pace of $40 billion per month would continue, and affirmed
its existing policy of reinvesting principal payments. At the
July 2013 meeting, the FOMC re-affirmed these
arrangements, which means it will be growing its balance
sheet at a rate of $85 billion per month on an open-ended
basis.

Financial Markets
Financial markets have largely recovered from the
unprecedented strains experienced in the fall of 2008, but
came under renewed pressure in 2011, as investors
expressed concerns about slowing economic growth in the
United States as well as globally, and about strains in debt

7

markets in Europe. These concerns persisted in 2012 and in
early 2013, and expanded to include uncertainty about the
U.S. fiscal situation. Although concerns about U.S. fiscal
drag persist, concerns have eased about the sovereign debt
crisis in Europe. Overall, financial conditions in general
continue to improve. Credit flows have increased
substantially since early 2009, with banks continuing to ease
standards and terms across several lending categories,
though to a lesser extent in the second quarter of 2013.
However, demand has risen more strongly in the second
quarter for a variety of loan types. Small firms in particular
increased their demand for commercial and industrial loans,
and there was also stronger demand for commercial real
estate loans as well as mortgages. After some deterioration
in the summer of 2011, measures of risk tolerance and
volatility have all improved.
After plunging 38.5 percent in 2008, the sharpest loss
since 1931 (when an earlier version of the index, containing
only 90 stocks, dropped 47 percent), the S&P 500 index rose
23.5 percent in 2009 and 12.8 percent in 2010. Although the
index was flat in 2011, it advanced 13.4 percent last year.
Thus far in 2013, the index has reached successive record
highs, and is up nearly 19 percent. The S&P Stock Market
Volatility Index (VIX), often used as a measure of financial
market uncertainty, surged to an all-time high of 80 in late
October 2008, after hovering in a range of 20 to 30 for most
of that year. The VIX retreated fairly steadily during 2009,
ending that year at about 20. Since then, the VIX has
fluctuated more widely, resurging to 46 in mid-May 2010
and to that level again in early October 2011. Since the most
recent peak, this index has trended lower, and stood at about
13 as of early August 2013.

September 2013

PROFILE OF THE ECONOMY

A variety of factors have buffeted long-term Treasury
interest rates, including flight-to-quality flows in response to
a variety of specific risk events, as well as supply concerns
related to funding of the government’s debt, concern about
the need for fiscal retrenchment, the downgrade of U.S.
Treasury debt by rating agency S&P in August 2011,
ongoing concerns about European debt markets and debt
downgrades in some European countries and, most recently,
concerns about forthcoming fiscal drag in the United States.
The yield on the 10-year note traded above the 3 percent
level during the first half of 2011, but thereafter trended
lower, reaching a record low of 1.43 percent in late July
2012. The yield subsequently rose and fluctuated around the
2 percent mark in early 2013, then fell to about 1.7 percent
in early May. Thereafter, the yield trended much higher,
reaching about 2.6 percent as of early August. The 3-month
Treasury bill yield fluctuated in a range from about 0.05
percent to 0.17 percent for much of 2011 but, between
August 2011 and January 2012, the yield fluctuated in a
range of 0.0 percent to 0.02 percent. Since then, the yield has
fluctuated around 0.1 percent as of early August 2013. The
2- to 10-year Treasury yield spread, one measure of the
steepness of the yield curve, widened to 291 basis points in
early February 2011, then trended noticeably lower, reaching
132 basis points in mid-November 2012. Since then, the
spread has widened again, reaching 235 basis points as of
early August 2013.
Key interest rates on private securities, which spiked in
response to financial market turbulence in late 2008, have
since retraced as conditions have stabilized. The spread
between the 3-month London Inter-bank Offered Rate
(LIBOR) and the 3-month Treasury bill rate (the TED
spread, a measure of inter-bank liquidity and credit risk) rose
to an all-time high of nearly 460 basis points in early
October 2008. However, improvements in short-term credit
availability have led to a narrowing of this spread. Through
early August 2011, the TED spread fluctuated in a range
from 14 to 25 basis points. Since then, this spread has
widened, reaching almost 60 basis points earlier this year,
before narrowing again to 23 basis points in early August

September 2013

2013. The spread between the Baa corporate bond yield and
the 10-year Treasury yield peaked at nearly 620 basis points
in December 2008. After narrowing on trend in the
intervening years, and trading below 300 basis points for
much of 2011, the spread widened above that level again in
early August 2011 to about 340 basis points. The spread
remained above 300 basis points for much of 2012, but
dropped below that level late in the year, where it has
remained since. This spread stood at 270 basis points as of
early August 2013, still very high by historical standards.
Rates for conforming mortgages have trended lower in
recent years, as have rates for jumbo mortgages. The interest
rate for a 30-year conforming fixed-rate mortgage fell to a
record low of 3.31 percent in November 2012; starting in
May 2013, however, it started moving sharply higher. As of
early August 2013, the rate had risen to 4.5 percent.

Foreign Exchange Rates
The value of the U.S. dollar compared with the
currencies of seven major trading partners (the euro area
countries, Japan, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia,
Sweden, and Switzerland) appreciated to a peak level in
February 2002, and then depreciated significantly over the
next several years. From its peak in February 2002, to the
recent low reached in August 2011, the exchange value of
the dollar compared to an index of these currencies fell by
about 38.5 percent. Although the dollar’s exchange value
against this index remains well below the February 2002
peak, it has appreciated between August 2011 and July 2013
by nearly 12 percent. Over the longer timeframe, the dollar
depreciated by about 42 percent against the yen and by 39
percent against the euro. In the period since August 2011
through July 2013, the dollar has appreciated by almost 30
percent against the yen, but has depreciated by about 10
percent against the euro. Against an index of currencies of
19 other important trading partners (including China, India,
and Mexico), the dollar depreciated 10.2 percent over the
longer timeframe, and has appreciated by 4.1 percent against
this basket between August 2011 and July 2013.

INTRODUCTION: Federal Fiscal Operations
Budget authority usually takes the form of appropriations
that allow obligations to be incurred and payments to be
made. Reappropriations are Congressional actions that
extend the availability of unobligated amounts that have
expired or would otherwise expire. These are counted as
new budget authority in the fiscal year of the legislation in
which the reappropriation act is included, regardless of when
the amounts were originally appropriated or when they
would otherwise lapse.
Obligations generally are liquidated by the issuance of
checks or the disbursement of cash—outlays. Obligations
may also be liquidated (and outlays recorded) by the accrual
of interest on public issues of Treasury debt securities
(including an increase in redemption value of bonds
outstanding); or by the issuance of bonds, debentures, notes,
monetary credits, or electronic payments.
Refunds of collections generally are treated as reductions
of collections, whereas payments for earned-income tax
credits in excess of tax liabilities are treated as outlays.
Outlays during a fiscal year may be for payment of
obligations incurred in prior years or in the same year.
Outlays, therefore, flow in part from unexpended balances of
prior year budget authority and from budget authority
provided for the year in which the money is spent. Total
outlays include both budget and off-budget outlays and are
stated net of offsetting collections.
Receipts are reported in the tables as either budget
receipts or offsetting collections. They are collections from
the public, excluding receipts offset against outlays. These,
also called governmental receipts, consist mainly of tax
receipts (including social insurance taxes), receipts from
court fines, certain licenses, and deposits of earnings by the
Federal Reserve system. Refunds of receipts are treated as
deductions from gross receipts. Total Government receipts
are compared with total outlays in calculating the budget
surplus or deficit.
Offsetting collections from other Government accounts
or the public are of a business-type or market-oriented
nature. They are classified as either collections credited to
appropriations or fund accounts, or offsetting receipts (i.e.,
amounts deposited in receipt accounts). The former normally
can be used without an appropriation act by Congress. These
occur in two instances: (1) when authorized by law, amounts
collected for materials or services are treated as
reimbursements to appropriations. For accounting purposes,
earned reimbursements are also known as revenues. These
offsetting collections are netted against gross outlays in
determining net outlays from such appropriations; and (2) in
the three types of revolving funds (public enterprise,
intragovernmental, and trust); offsetting collections are
netted against spending, and outlays are reported as the net
amount.

Offsetting receipts in receipt accounts cannot be used
without appropriation. They are subdivided into three
categories: (1) proprietary receipts, or collections from the
public, offset against outlays by agency and by function; (2)
intragovernmental transactions, or payments into receipt
accounts from governmental appropriation or fund accounts.
They finance operations within and between Government
agencies and are credited with collections from other
Government accounts; and (3) offsetting governmental
receipts that include foreign cash contributions.
Intrabudgetary transactions are subdivided into three
categories: (1) interfund transactions—payments are from
one fund group (either Federal funds or trust funds) to a
receipt account in the other fund group; (2) Federal intrafund
transactions—payments and receipts both occur within the
Federal fund group; and (3) trust intrafund transactions—
payments and receipts both occur within the trust fund
group.
Offsetting receipts are generally deducted from budget
authority and outlays by function, subfunction, or agency.
There are four types of receipts, however, that are deducted
from budget totals as undistributed offsetting receipts. They
are: (1) agencies’ payments (including payments by offbudget Federal entities) as employers into employees’
retirement funds; (2) interest received by trust funds; (3)
rents and royalties on the Outer Continental Shelf lands; and
(4) other interest (i.e., that collected on Outer Continental
Shelf money in deposit funds when such money is
transferred into the budget).
The Government has used the unified budget concept set
forth in the “Report of the President’s Commission on
Budget Concepts” as a foundation for its budgetary analysis
and presentation since 1969. The concept calls for the
budget to include all of the Government’s fiscal transactions
with the public. Since 1971, however, various laws have
been enacted removing several Federal entities from (or
creating them outside of) the budget. Other laws have moved
certain off-budget Federal entities onto the budget. Under
current law, the off-budget Federal entities consist of the two
Social Security trust funds, Federal Old-Age and Survivors
Insurance and the Federal Disability Insurance Trust Fund,
and the Postal Service.
Although an off-budget Federal entity’s receipts, outlays,
and surplus or deficit ordinarily are not subject to targets set
by the Congressional resolution, the Balanced Budget and
Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 [commonly known
as the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Act as amended by the
Budget Enforcement Act of 1990 (2 United States Code 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.

 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.

Third-Quarter Receipts
The following capsule analysis of budget
receipts, by source, for the third quarter of fiscal
year 2013 supplements fiscal data reported in the
June issue of the “Treasury Bulletin.” At the time
of that issue’s release, not enough data were
available to adequately analyze collections for the
quarter.
Individual income taxes—Individual income tax
receipts, net of refunds, were $437.0 billion for the third
quarter of fiscal year 2013. This is an increase of $80.6
billion over the comparable prior year quarter. Withheld
receipts increased by $12.0 billion and non-withheld receipts
increased by $70.5 billion during this period. Refunds
increased by $1.8 billion over the comparable fiscal year
2012 quarter. There was an increase of $3.3 billion in
accounting adjustments between individual income tax
receipts and the Social Security and Medicare trust funds
over the comparable quarter in fiscal year 2012.
Corporate income taxes—Net corporate income tax
receipts were $105.3 billion for the third quarter of fiscal
year 2013. This is an increase of $13.9 billion compared to
the prior year third quarter. The $13.9 billion change is

September 2013

comprised of an increase of $15.1 billion in estimated and
final payments, and an increase of $1.2 billion in corporate
refunds.
Employment taxes and contributions—Employment
taxes and contributions receipts for the third quarter of fiscal
year 2013 were $256.2 billion, an increase of $38.2 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 $30.7 billion, $5.2 billion, and $2.2 billion
respectively. There was a -$2.5 billion accounting
adjustment for prior years employment tax liabilities made
in the third quarter of fiscal year 2013, while there was a
$0.8 billion adjustment in the third quarter of fiscal year
2012.
Unemployment insurance—Unemployment insurance
receipts, net of refunds, for the third quarter of fiscal year
2013 were $28.6 billion, a decrease of $1.9 billion over the
comparable quarter of fiscal year 2012. Net State taxes
deposited in the U.S. Treasury decreased by $1.9 billion to
$25.5 billion. Net Federal Unemployment Tax Act taxes
increased by $0.1 billion to $3.2 billion.

Contributions for other insurance and retirement—
Contributions for other retirement were $0.9 billion for the
third quarter of fiscal year 2013. This was a negligible
change from the comparable quarter of fiscal year 2012.
Excise taxes—Net excise tax receipts for the third
quarter of fiscal year 2013 were $20.5 billion, a decrease of
$0.4 billion over the comparable prior year quarter. Total
excise tax refunds for the quarter were $1.0 billion, an
increase of $0.2 billion over the comparable prior year
quarter.
Estate and gift taxes—Net estate and gift tax receipts
were $8.5 billion for the third quarter of fiscal year 2013.

These receipts represent an increase of $4.1 billion over the
same quarter in fiscal year 2012.
Customs duties—Customs duties net of refunds were
$7.5 billion for the third quarter of fiscal year 2013. This is
an increase of $0.1 billion over the comparable prior year
quarter.
Miscellaneous receipts—Net miscellaneous receipts
for the third quarter of fiscal year 2013 were $26.2 billion, a
decrease of $3.8 billion over the comparable prior year
quarter. This change is due in part to deposits of earnings by
Federal Reserve banks decreasing by $3.7 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, the Bureau of the Fiscal
Service, and various electronic systems. As the FRB
accounts are depleted, funds are called in (withdrawn) from
thousands of tax and loan accounts at financial institutions
throughout the country.
Under authority of Public Law 95-147 (codified at 31
United States Code 323), Treasury implemented a program
on November 2, 1978, to invest a portion of its operating
cash in obligations of depositaries maintaining tax and loan
accounts. Under the Treasury tax and loan (TT&L)
investment program, depositary financial institutions select
the manner in which they will participate. Financial
institutions wishing to retain funds deposited into their tax

and loan accounts in interest-bearing obligations can
participate. The program permits Treasury to collect funds
through financial institutions and to leave the funds in TT&L
depositaries and in the financial communities in which they
arise until Treasury needs the funds for its operations. In this
way, Treasury is able to neutralize the effect of its
fluctuating operations on TT&L financial institution reserves
and on the economy. Likewise, those institutions wishing to
remit the funds to the Treasury account at FRBs do so as
collector depositaries.
Deposits to tax and loan accounts occur as customers of
financial institutions deposit tax payments that the financial
institutions use to purchase Government securities. In most
cases, this involves a transfer of funds from a customer’s
account to the tax and loan account in the same financial
institution. Also, Treasury can direct the FRBs to invest
excess funds in tax and loan accounts directly from the
Treasury account at the FRBs.

INTRODUCTION: Federal Debt
Treasury securities (i.e., public debt securities) comprise
most of the Federal debt, with securities issued by other
Federal agencies accounting for the rest. Tables in this
section of the “Treasury Bulletin” reflect the total. Further
detailed information is published in the “Monthly Statement
of the Public Debt of the United States.” Likewise,
information on agency securities and on investments of
Federal Government accounts in Federal securities is
published in the “Monthly Treasury Statement of Receipts
and Outlays of the United States Government.”
Treasury’s Bureau of the Fiscal Service compiles data in
the “Treasury Bulletin” tables FD-2 and FD-6 from the
“Monthly Statement of the Public Debt of the United
States.”
 Table FD-1 summarizes the Federal debt by listing
public debt and agency securities held by the public,
including the Federal Reserve. It also includes debt held by
Federal agencies, largely by the Social Security and other
Federal retirement trust funds. The net unamortized
premium and discount also are listed by total Federal
securities, securities held by Government accounts and
securities held by the public. The difference between the
outstanding face value of the Federal debt and the net
unamortized premium and discount is classified as the
accrual amount. (For greater detail on holdings of Federal
securities by particular classes of investors, see the
ownership tables, OFS-1 and OFS-2.)
 Table FD-2 categorizes by type, that is, marketable
and nonmarketable, the total public debt securities
outstanding that are held by the public.
 In table FD-3, nonmarketable Treasury securities
held by U.S. Government accounts are summarized by
issues to particular funds within Government. Many of the
funds invest in par value special series nonmarketabletes at
interest rates determined by law. Others invest in marketbased special Treasury securities whose terms mirror those
of marketable securities.
 Table FD-4 presents interest-bearing securities
issued by Government agencies. Federal agency borrowing

has declined in recent years, in part because the Federal
Financing Bank has provided financing to other Federal
agencies. (Federal agency borrowing from Treasury is
presented in the “Monthly Treasury Statement of Receipts
and Outlays of the United States Government.”)
 Table FD-5 illustrates the average length of
marketable interest-bearing public debt held by private
investors and the maturity distribution of that debt.
In March 1971, Congress enacted a limited exception to
the amount of bonds with rates greater than 4-1/4 percent
that could be held by the public. This permitted Treasury to
offer securities maturing in more than 7 years at current
market interest rates for the first time since 1965. In March
1976, the definition of a bond was changed to include those
securities longer than 10 years to maturity. This exception
has expanded since 1971, authorizing Treasury to continue
to issue long-term securities. The ceiling on Treasury bonds
was repealed on November 10, 1988.
The volume of privately held Treasury marketable
securities by maturity class reflects the remaining period to
maturity of Treasury bills, notes and bonds. The average
length is comprised of an average of remaining periods to
maturity, weighted by the amount of each security held by
private investors. In other words, computations of average
length exclude Government accounts and the FRBs.
 In table FD-6, the debt ceiling is compared with the
outstanding debt subject to limitation by law. The other debt
category includes Federal debt Congress has designated as
being subject to the debt ceiling.
 Table FD-7 details Treasury holdings of securities
issued by Government corporations and other agencies.
Certain Federal agencies are authorized to borrow money
from the Treasury, largely to finance direct loan programs.
In addition, agencies such as the Bonneville Power
Administration are authorized to borrow from the Treasury
to finance capital projects. Treasury, in turn, finances these
loans by selling Treasury securities to the public.

INTRODUCTION: 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 presents the results of weekly auctions of 4-,
13-, and 26-week bills. Treasury bills mature each Thursday.
Issues of 4- and 13-week bills are reopenings of 26-week
bills. High 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
$5 million for bills and $5 million for notes and bonds in each
auction of securities.
Table PDO-2 lists the results of auctions of marketable
securities, other than weekly bills, in chronological order over
the past 2 years. Issues of cash management bills also are
presented.
Note: Cash management bills identified below are issued
as part of the Supplementary Financing Program (SFP). For
more details about the SFP, visit www.treasury.gov/
press/releases/hp1144.htm or call 202-622-2960.
Note: On February 4, 2009, Treasury announced the
reintroduction of the 7-year note. The first auction of this
security took place on February 26, 2009.

INTRODUCTION: Ownership of Federal Securities
Federal securities presented in the following tables are
public debt securities such as savings bonds, bills, notes, and
bonds that the Treasury issues. The tables also detail debt
issued by other Federal agencies under special financing
authorities. [See the Federal debt (FD) tables for a more
complete description of the Federal debt.]
Effective January 1, 2001, Treasury’s Bureau of the
Fiscal Service revised formats, titles, and column headings
in the “Monthly Statement of the Public Debt of the United
States,” Table I: Summary of Treasury Securities
Outstanding and Table II: Statutory Debt Limit. These
changes should reduce confusion and bring the publication
more in line with the public’s use of terms.
Treasury’s Bureau of the Fiscal Service compiles data in
the “Treasury Bulletin” table OFS-1 from the “Monthly
Statement of the Public Debt of the United States.” Effective
June 2001, Bureau of the Fiscal Service revised procedures
and categories in this table to agree with the Bureau of the
Fiscal Service’s publication changes.

 Table OFS-1 presents Treasury marketable and
nonmarketable securities and debt issued by other Federal
agencies held by Government accounts, the FRBs, and
private investors. Social Security and Federal retirement
trust fund investments comprise much of the Government
account holdings.
The FRBs acquire Treasury securities in the market as a
means of executing monetary policy.
 Table OFS-2 presents the estimated ownership of
U.S. Treasury securities. Information is primarily obtained
from the Federal Reserve Board of Governors Flow of Funds
data, Table L209. State, local, and foreign holdings include
special issues of nonmarketable securities to municipal
entities and foreign official accounts. They also include
municipal, foreign official, and private holdings of
marketable Treasury securities. (See footnotes to the table
for description of investor categories.)

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

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

INTRODUCTION: International Financial Statistics
The tables in this section provide statistics on U.S.
Government reserve assets, liabilities to foreigners, and its
international financial position. All monetary figures are in
dollars or dollar equivalents.
 Table IFS-1 shows reserve assets of the United
States, including its gold stock, special drawing rights held in
the Special Drawing Account in the International Monetary
Fund (IMF), holdings of convertible foreign currencies and
reserve position in the IMF.
 Table IFS-2 contains statistics on liabilities to foreign
official institutions, and selected liabilities to all other
foreigners, which are used in the U.S. balance of payments
statistics.

 Table IFS-3 shows nonmarketable bonds and notes
that the Treasury issues to official institutions and other
residents of foreign countries.
Note: After the December 2013 issue of the Treasury Bulletin,
the "International Financial Statistics" tables will be
discontinued. The same data will continue to be available

Beginning July 1974, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) adopted a technique for
valuing the special drawing right (SDR) based on a weighted average of exchange rates for
the currencies of selected member countries. The U.S. SDR holdings and reserve position
in the IMF also are valued on this basis beginning July 1974.
2
Treasury values its gold stock at $42.2222 per fine troy ounce and pursuant to 31 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. Recent allocations are as follows: August 2009—$43,069 million and
September 2009—$4,529 million.

Includes holdings of Treasury and Federal Reserve System; consistent with the Quarterly
Report on Treasury and Federal Reserve Foreign Exchange Operations, foreign currency
dominated assets are shown not at market value but rather at amortized cost revalued at
current foreign currency market exchange rates in order to report these assets in U.S.
dollars. Excludes outstanding reciprocal currency swaps with foreign central banks. As of
end-July 2013, swaps outstanding were $1.48 billion with the European Central Bank.
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.
6
IMF data include the reserve tranche position and, as of May 2011, New Arrangements to
Borrow.

INTRODUCTION: Capital Movements
Background

Basic definitions

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 and quarterly 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 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.
Requests for public comments on proposed changes are
published in the Federal Register, and any further
modifications are based on the comments received. The most
recent revisions to selected reporting forms and instructions
were effective June 30, 2006. The reporting forms and
instructions may be downloaded from the TIC website.
Copies of the reporting forms and instructions also may be
obtained from the Global Economics Group, 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 Federal Reserve banks.

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. Effective beginning with
data for June 2006, information pertaining to the Bank for
International Settlements is now included with data for
international organizations, and information for the European
Central Bank is distributed across the individual euro-area
countries. For prior dates, information for these organizations
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.

September 2013

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.

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. 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.
TIC Form D is filed quarterly by all U.S. resident banks,
securities dealers, and other firms with worldwide holding of
derivatives in their own and in their customers’ accounts
exceeding $100 billion in notional value. Data from this
information collection was first released on May 15, 2007,
with data on holdings beginning from end-December 2005,
and data on net settlements beginning from the first quarter of
2006.
Quarterly reports are also 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 unaffiliated foreigners. Separate
reports are filed for financial balances and for commercial
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.
Effective with the reports filed for June 2006, the country
coverage of the monthly TIC forms was expanded
significantly and the semiannual reports, which covered the
smaller market economies, were discontinued. Country
coverage was also expanded for the quarterly banking forms,
the Form S, the Form D, and the Forms CQ-1 and CQ-2,
effective with reports filed for June 2006.
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

51

Commerce in its regular reports on the U.S. balance of
payments.
Effective with the December 2009 Treasury Bulletin, a
number of data reporters were reclassified in the TIC system
as bank holding companies, beginning with the reports as of
the fourth quarter of 2008. These data reporters are now
included in the monthly bank-reported statistics and are no
longer reporting as nonbanks.

Description of statistics
Data collected on the TIC forms are published in the
“Capital Movements” tables in four 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. The expansion of the
country coverage on the standard report forms allows for
publication of additional country detail for data beginning as
of June 2006. As a result, the former Capital Movements
Section III, which listed bank-reported claims and liabilities of
selected countries from the semiannual reports, has been
discontinued.
 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 Cseries 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 BQ2 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 nontransactions 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 Cseries forms. Data on respondents’ own dollar claims are

CAPITAL MOVEMENTS

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 (formerly reported as Section IV) shows
the liabilities to, and claims on, unaffiliated foreigners of
exporters, importers, industrial and commercial concerns,
financial institutions (other than banks, other depository
institutions, and 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 TIC reports CQ-1 and CQ-2 exclude
accounts of nonbanking enterprises in the United States with
their own branches and subsidiaries abroad or with their
foreign parent companies. Such accounts with foreign
affiliates are reported by business enterprises to Commerce on
its direct investment forms. There was an exception when
reporting of foreign affiliate positions of insurance
underwriting subsidiaries and financial intermediaries was
included in Section B of Form CQ-1 for reports between endMarch 2003 and end-March 2006. That reporting requirement
was discontinued with the reports beginning as of June 2006.
 Section IV (formerly 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.

September 2013

 Section V presents quarterly data on holdings and
net cash settlements of cross-border derivatives contracts
reported by banks, securities brokers, dealers, and
nonfinancial companies in the U.S. with sizable holdings of
derivatives contracts. Total holdings are divided between
those contracts with positive fair values and those contracts
with negative fair values from the perspective of the reporter.
The fair (market) value is generally defined as the amount for
which a derivative contract could be exchanged in a current
transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or
liquidation sale.
The data on U.S. net settlements with foreign residents
include all cash receipts and payments made during the
quarter for the acquisition, sale, or final closeout of
derivatives, including all settlement payments under the terms
of derivatives contracts such as the periodic settlement under a
swap agreement and the daily settlement of an exchangetraded contract. In calculating net settlements, U.S. receipts of
cash from foreign persons are positive amounts (+), and U.S.
payments of cash to foreign persons are negative amounts (-).
Items excluded from net settlements are: (a) collateral
including initial and maintenance margins, whether or not in
the form of cash; and (b) purchases of underlying
commodities, securities, or other noncash assets. (e.g., the
purchase/sale by foreigners of a long-term security is reported
on TIC Form S).
The gross fair (market) values and net settlement
payments on derivatives are reported by type of derivative and
by country based on the residence of the direct foreign
counterparty. Positions of foreign customers on U.S.
exchanges are reported opposite the country in which the
foreign counterparty resides. In the case of U.S. residents’
futures contracts on foreign exchanges, the country of the
exchange is reported as the country of the foreign
counterparty.
NOTE: Current and historical data on United States
transactions with foreigners in long-term securities on the
gross foreign liabilities and claims reported by banks and
nonbanks in the United States and on derivatives contracts
with foreigners 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 movements 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.
NOTE: After the December 2013 issue of the Treasury
Bulletin, the “Capital Movements” tables will be
discontinued. The same data will continue to be available
monthly on the Treasury website: http://www.treasury.gov/
resource-center/data-chart-center/tic/Pages/index.aspx.

Includes Bahamas, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Netherlands Antilles, and Panama.

U.S. liabilities to foreigners reported by U.S. banks were recorded at $4.8 trillion in June 2013, an increase
of $240 billion from year-end 2012. U.S. banking liabilities include foreign holdings of U.S. short-term
securities but exclude foreign holdings of U.S. long-term securities. U.S. banking liabilities increased about
$131 billion in 2010 and $304 billion in 2011 but decreased $394 billion in 2012.
U.S. banking liabilities are concentrated in international financial centers. The data on this page show that
about 57 percent of U.S. banking liabilities is currently recorded against the United Kingdom and banking
centers in the Caribbean. Overall, banking liabilities rebounded in 2010 and 2011 from earlier declines, with
the exception of Caribbean banking centers. In 2012, liabilities to Caribbean banking centers continued to fall
and liabilities to other international financial centers and Japan turned down. However, liabilities to “all other
countries” have continued to grow at a steady pace in the post crisis years. In the first two quarters of 2013,
liabilities to most regions increased, especially those to the Caribbean banking centers and the United
Kingdom. The only region to which there was a decline in liabilities was “all other Asia”.

Includes Bahamas, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Netherlands Antilles, and Panama.

In March 2013, U.S. claims on foreigners reported by U.S. banks amounted to $3.8 trillion, a similar level
to that of December 2012 and a decrease of $469 billion from year-end 2011. U.S. banking claims include
holdings of foreign short-term securities but exclude holdings of foreign long-term securities. U.S. banking
claims increased $257 billion in 2009 and $554 billion in 2010. However, they decreased $267 billion in 2011.
As with U.S. banking liabilities, U.S. banking claims on foreigners are concentrated in international
financial centers. Nearly 56 percent of these claims are reported opposite the United Kingdom and banking
centers in the Caribbean. In the post crisis years, there has been a steady fall in claims on Caribbean banking
centers, the United Kingdom, and all other Europe. In contrast, claims on Asia have consistently risen since
2008. Although the lion’s share of banking claims against the United States is held by the international
financial centers, this share has fallen while Asia’s share has grown from under 5 percent in 2008 to over 15
percent in 2012.

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 in the TIC reporting system. Foreign
investors have also acquired U.S. equities through mergers and reincorporations that involve stock swaps, but these acquisitions
have been relatively small in recent years. Stock swap acquisitions were less than $1 billion in 2009, picked up to $8.3 billion in
2010, but again slowed during 2011 to $1.3 billion. Stock swaps rose in 2012 to $2.8 billion. For the first half of 2013, stock swap
acquisitions were $2 billion (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 available on the TIC
Website. The TIC Website also provides estimates from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on principal repayment flows of
foreign holdings of U.S. government agency and corporate asset-backed securities (ABS). These repayments are estimated to have
reduced foreign net purchases of U.S. securities by $204 billion in 2009, $231 billion in 2010, $164 billion in 2011, $226 billion in
2012, and $117 billion in the first half of 2013.
After including stock swaps and accounting for ABS repayment flows, net foreign purchases totaled $685 billion in 2010.
The pace of acquisitions slowed considerably in both 2011 and again in 2012, with net foreign purchases recorded at $331
billion in 2011 and $401 billion in 2012. Foreign net purchases were negative at -$145 billion in the first half of 2013.

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

The data on this page represent U.S. investors’ purchases and sales of long-term foreign securities as reported to
the TIC reporting system. U.S. investors also have acquired foreign stocks through mergers that involve stock
swaps. Net acquisitions through stock swaps amounted to $2 billion in 2009, $12 billion in 2010, $10 billion in
2011, $15 billion in 2012, and $2.3 billion in the first half of 2013 (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 available on the TIC website.
Including acquisitions through stock swaps, U.S. net purchases of long-term foreign securities amounted to $189
billion in 2009. They slowed in 2010 to $127 billion and picked up slightly in 2011 to $134 billion. In 2012, U.S.
investors’ net purchases slowed again to $50 billion in foreign securities. Net purchases of foreign securities picked
up notably to $109 billion in the first half of 2013.

INTRODUCTION: Foreign Currency Positions
The “Treasury Bulletin” reports foreign currency
holdings of large foreign exchange market participants.
These reports provide information on positions in derivative
instruments, such as foreign exchange futures and options
that are increasingly used in establishing foreign exchange
positions but were not covered in the old reports.
The information is based on reports of large foreign
exchange market participants on holdings of five major
foreign currencies (Canadian dollar, Japanese yen, Swiss
franc, pound sterling, and euro) and the U.S. dollar.
Positions in the U.S. dollar, which have been collected since
January 1999, are intended to approximate “all other”
currency positions of reporting institutions. U.S.-based
businesses file a consolidated report for their domestic and
foreign subsidiaries, branches, and agencies. U.S.
subsidiaries of foreign entities file only for themselves, not
for their foreign parents. Filing is required by law (31 United
States Code 5315; 31 Code of Federal Regulations 128,
Subpart C).
Weekly and monthly reports must be filed throughout the
calendar year by major foreign exchange market
participants, which are defined as market participants with
more than $50 billion equivalent in foreign exchange
contracts on the last business day of any calendar quarter
during the previous year (end March, September, September,
or December). Such contracts include the amounts of foreign
exchange spot contracts bought and sold, foreign exchange
forward contracts bought and sold, foreign exchange futures
bought and sold, and one half the notional amount of foreign
exchange options bought and sold.

A quarterly report must be filed throughout the calendar
year by each foreign exchange market participant that had
more than $5 billion equivalent in foreign exchange
contracts on the last business day of any quarter the previous
year (end March, September, September, or December).
This information is published in six sections
corresponding to each of the major currencies covered by the
reports. Tables I-1 through VI-1 present the currency data
reported weekly by major market participants. Tables I-2
through VI-2 present more detailed currency data of major
market participants, based on monthly reports. Tables I-3
through VI-3 present quarterly consolidated currency data
reported by large market participants that do not file weekly
reports. The information in the tables referenced above is
based on the reports referenced in this Introduction: Foreign
Currency Positions and is not audited by the Federal Reserve
banks or the Treasury Department.
Principal exchanged under cross-currency interest rate
swaps is reported as part of purchases or sales of foreign
exchange. Such principal also was noted separately on
monthly and quarterly reports through December 1998,
when this practice was discontinued. The net options
position, or the net delta-equivalent value of an options
position, is an estimate of the relationship between an
option’s value and an equivalent currency hedge. The delta
equivalent value is defined as the product of the first partial
derivative of an option valuation formula (with respect to the
price of the underlying currency) multiplied by the notional
principal of the contract.

INTRODUCTION: Exchange Stabilization Fund
To stabilize the exchange value of the dollar, the
Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF) was established pursuant
to chapter 6, section 10 of the Gold Reserve Act of January
30, 1934 (codified at 31 United States Code 5302), which
authorized establishment of a Treasury fund to be operated
under the exclusive control of the Secretary, with approval
of the President.
Subsequent amendment of the Gold Reserve Act
modified the original purpose somewhat to reflect
termination of the fixed exchange rate system.
Resources of the fund include dollar balances, partially
invested in U.S. Government securities, special drawing
rights (SDRs), and balances of foreign currencies. Principal
sources of income (+) or loss (-) for the fund are profits (+)
or losses (-) on SDRs and foreign exchange, as well as
interest earned on assets.

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

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

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

INTRODUCTION: Reforestation Trust Fund
The Reforestation Trust Fund was established on the
books of the Treasury in fiscal year 1981 to continue
through September 30, 1985, according to provisions of
Title III—Reforestation, of the Recreational Boating Safety
and Facilities Improvement Act of 1980 [Public Law 96451, codified at 16 United States Code 1606a(a)].
The act provides that the Secretary of the Treasury shall
transfer to the trust fund tariffs, limited to not more than $30
million for any fiscal year, received in the Treasury from
October 1, 1979, through September 30, 1985, on (1) rough
and primary wood products and wood waste; (2) lumber,
flooring and moldings; and (3) wood veneers, plywood,
other wood-veneer assemblies and building boards. Public
Law 99-190, title II, 99 Statutes at Large 1245, extended the
receipts for the trust fund. Amounts available in the
reforestation trust fund exceeding current withdrawals are
invested in interest-bearing obligations of the United States
or in obligations guaranteed as to both principal and interest

by the United States. The interest on, and the proceeds from
the sale or redemption of, any obligations are credited to the
trust fund.
The Secretary of the Department of Agriculture is
authorized to obligate available sums in the trust fund
(including any amounts not obligated in previous years) for
(1) reforestation and timber stand improvement and (2)
administrative costs of the Government for these activities.
Annual reports are required by 16 United States Code
1606aI (1) to be submitted by the Secretary of the Treasury,
after consultation with the Secretary of Agriculture, on the
financial condition and the results of the operations of the
trust fund during the past fiscal year and on its expected
condition and operations during the next fiscal year.
Note: This page is included in the September issue due
to an incorrect fiscal year on the Expected Conditions and
Result of Operations table in the June issue.

Glossary
With References to Applicable Sections and Tables
Source: Bureau of the Fiscal Service
Amounts outstanding and in circulation (USCC)—Includes
all issues by the Bureau of the Mint purposely intended as a
medium of exchange. Coins sold by the Bureau of the Mint at
premium prices are excluded; however, uncirculated coin sets
sold at face value plus handling charge are included.
Average discount rate (PDO-1, -2)—In Treasury bill auctions,
purchasers tender competitive bids on a discount rate basis.
The average discount rate is the weighted, or adjusted,
average of all bids accepted in the auction.
Budget authority (“Federal Fiscal Operations”)—Congress
passes laws giving budget authority to Government entities,
which gives the agencies the power to spend Federal funds.
Congress can stipulate various criteria for the spending of
these funds. For example, Congress can stipulate that a given
agency must spend within a specific year, number of years, or
any time in the future.
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).
Cash management bills (PDO-1)—Marketable Treasury
bills of irregular maturity lengths, sold periodically to fund
short-term cash needs of Treasury. Their sale, having higher
minimum and multiple purchase requirements than those of
other issues, is generally restricted to competitive bidders.
Competitive tenders (“Treasury Financing Operations”)—
A bid to purchase a stated amount of one issue of Treasury
securities at a specified yield or discount. The bid is accepted
if it is within the range accepted in the auction. (See
Noncompetitive tenders.)
Currency no longer issued (USCC)—Old and new series
gold and silver certificates, Federal Reserve notes, national
bank notes, and 1890 Series Treasury notes.
Debt outstanding subject to limitation (FD-6)—The debt
incurred by the Treasury subject to the statutory limit set by
Congress. Until World War I, a specific amount of debt was
authorized to each separate security issue. Beginning with the

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 June 2013, the debt
limit was 25 million; the limit may change from year to year.
Total Public Debt Subject to Limit - The Total Public Debt
Subject to Limit is the Total Public Debt Outstanding adjusted
for Unamortized Discount on Treasury Bills and Zero Coupon
Treasury Bonds, Other Debt (old debt issued before 1917 and
old currency called United States Notes), Debt held by the
Federal Financing Bank, Hope Bonds and Guaranteed Debt of
Government Agencies. For a breakout of the debt subject to
limit, see the Monthly Statement of the Public Debt at
http://www.treasurydirect.gov/govt/reports/pd/mspd/mspd.htm.
Discount—The interest deducted in advance when purchasing
notes or bonds. (See Accrued discount.)
Discount rate (PDO-1)—The difference between par value
and the actual purchase price paid, annualized over a 360-day
year. Because this rate is less than the actual yield (couponequivalent rate), the yield should be used in any comparison
with coupon issue securities.
Dollar coins (USCC)—Include standard silver and nonsilver
coins.
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).
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).
Federal Reserve notes (USCC)—Issues by the U.S.
Government to the public through the Federal Reserve banks
and their member banks. They represent money owed by the
Government to the public. Currently, the item “Federal
Reserve notes—amounts outstanding” consists of new series
issues. The Federal Reserve note is the only class of currency
currently issued.
Foreign (“Foreign Currency Positions,” IFS-2, -3)—
Locations other than those included under the definition of the
United States. (See United States.)
Foreigner (“Capital Movements,” IFS-2)—All institutions
and individuals living outside the United States, including
U.S. citizens living abroad, and branches, subsidiaries, and

they are known by reporting institutions to be acting for
foreigners.
Foreign official institutions (“Capital Movements”)—
Includes central governments of foreign countries, including
all departments and agencies of national governments; central
banks, exchange authorities, and all fiscal agents of foreign
national governments that undertake activities similar to those

Foreign-targeted issue (PDO-2)—Foreign-targeted issues
were notes sold between October 1984 and February 1986 to
foreign institutions, foreign branches of U.S. institutions,
foreign central banks or monetary authorities, or to
international organizations in which the United States held
membership. Sold as companion issues, they could be
converted to domestic (normal) Treasury notes with the same
maturity and interest rates. Interest was paid annually.
Fractional coins (USCC)—Coins minted in denominations
of 50, 25, and 10 cents, and minor coins (5 cents and 1 cent).
Government account series (FD-2)—Certain trust fund
statutes require the Secretary of the Treasury to apply monies
held by these funds toward the issuance of nonmarketable
special securities. These securities are sold directly by
Treasury to a specific Government agency, trust fund, or
account. Their rate is based on an average of market yields on
outstanding Treasury obligations, and they may be redeemed
at the option of the holder. Roughly 80 percent of these are
issued to five holders: the Federal Old-Age and Survivors
Insurance Trust Fund; the civil service retirement and
disability fund; the Federal Hospital Insurance Trust Fund; the
military retirement fund; and the Unemployment Trust Fund.

amount of securities at the highest yield or discount rate
awarded to competitive bidders for a single-price auction.
Obligations (“Federal Fiscal Operations”)—An unpaid
commitment to acquire goods or services.
Off-budget Federal entities (“Federal Fiscal Operations”)—
Federally owned and controlled entities whose transactions are
excluded from the budget totals under provisions of law. Their
receipts, outlays, and surplus or deficit are not included in
budget receipts, outlays, or deficits. Their budget authority is
not included in totals of the budget.
Outlays (“Federal Fiscal Operations”)—Payments on
obligations in the form of cash, checks, the issuance of bonds
or notes, or the maturing of interest coupons.
Own foreign offices (“Capital Movements”)—Refers to
U.S. reporting institutions’ parent organizations, branches
and/or majority-owned subsidiaries located outside the United
States.
Par value—The face value of bonds or notes, including
interest.
Quarterly financing (“Treasury Financing Operations”)—
Treasury has historically offered packages of several
“coupon” security issues on the 15th of February, May,
August, and November, or on the next working day. These
issues currently consist of a 3-year note, a 10-year note, and a
30-year bond. Treasury sometimes offers additional amounts
of outstanding long-term notes or bonds, rather than selling
new security issues. (See Reopening.)
Receipts (“Federal Fiscal Operations”)—Funds collected
from selling land, capital, or services, as well as collections
from the public (budget receipts), such as taxes, fines, duties,
and fees.
Reopening (PDO-2)—The offer for sale of additional

issue. A reopened issue will always have the same maturity
date, CUSIP-number, and interest rate as the original issue.
Special drawing rights (“Exchange Stabilization Fund,”
IFS-1)—International assets created by IMF that serve to
increase international liquidity and provide additional
international reserves. SDRs may be purchased and sold
among eligible holders through IMF. (See IMF.)

GLOSSARY

SDR allocations are the counterpart to SDRs issued by
IMF based on members’ quotas in IMF. Although shown in
Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF) statements as liabilities,
they must be redeemed by ESF only in the event of
liquidation of, or U.S. withdrawal from, the SDR department
of IMF or cancellation of SDRs.
SDR certificates are issued to the Federal Reserve
System against SDRs when SDRs are legalized as money.
Proceeds of monetization are deposited into an ESF account
at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
Spot (“Foreign Currency Positions”)—Due for receipt or
delivery within 2 workdays.
State and local government series (SLGS) (FD-2)—Special
nonmarketable certificates, notes, and bonds offered to State
and local governments as a means to invest proceeds from

comply with IRS arbitrage provisions. SLGS are offered in
both time deposit and demand deposit forms. Time deposit
certificates have maturities of up to 1 year. Notes mature in 1
to 10 years and bonds mature in more than 10 years. Demand
deposit securities are 1-day certificates rolled over with a rate
adjustment daily.
Statutory debt limit (FD-6)—By Act of Congress there is a
limit, either temporary or permanent, on the amount of public
debt that may be outstanding. When this limit is reached,

111

Treasury may not sell new debt issues until Congress
increases or extends the limit. For a detailed listing of changes
in the limit since 1941, see the Budget of the United States
Government. (See debt outstanding subject to limitation.)
STRIPS (PDO-2)—Separate Trading of Registered Interest
and Principal Securities. Long-term notes and bonds may be
divided into principal and interest-paying components, which
may be transferred and sold in amounts as small as $1,000.
STRIPS are sold at auction at a minimum par amount, varying
for each issue. The amount is an arithmetic function of the
issue’s interest rate.
Treasury bills—The shortest term Federal security (maturity
dates normally varying from 3 to 12 months), are sold at a
discount.
Trust fund transaction (“Federal Fiscal Operations”)—
An intrabudgetary transaction in which both payments and
receipts occur within the same trust fund group.
United States—Includes the 50 States, District of Columbia,
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Midway
Island, Virgin Islands, Wake Island, and all other territories
