Profile of the Economy

[Source: Office of Macroeconomic Analysis]

As of August 4, 2017

Introduction

United States economic growth accelerated in the second 

quarter of 2017, after a temporary slowing in the first 

quarter. Personal consumption expenditures stepped up 

noticeably in the second quarter and non-residential fixed 

investment continued to expand. Net exports and total 

government spending also supported second-quarter growth. 

Residential investment declined (after the previous quarter’s 

double-digit advance) and inventory accumulation had a 

neutral impact. Labor market conditions remained healthy, 

and the unemployment rate stood at 4.3 percent in July 2017. 

Inflation has slowed in recent months, partly due to a 

pullback in oil prices. However, headline rates remain 

above year-ago levels, while core inflation remains stable.

The federal budget deficit fell from a peak of 9.8 percent 

of GDP in fiscal year 2009 to an 8-year low of 2.5 percent in 

fiscal year 2015 before rising a bit to 3.2 percent of GDP in 

fiscal year 2016. The Administration’s Fiscal Year 2018 

Budget projects the budget deficit will decline to 3.1 percent 

of GDP in FY2017, and range between 2-1⁄4 and 2-1⁄2 percent 

of GDP from fiscal year 2018 to fiscal year 2020.

At its latest meeting on July 25-26, 2017, the Federal 

Reserve’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) 

maintained the target range for the federal funds rate at 1.00 

to 1.25 percent. At that meeting, the FOMC indicated that 

“for the time being” it would maintain existing programs for 

reinvestment of principal payments and roll-overs of 

maturing Treasuries at auction. Most notably, however, it 

signaled that it “expects to begin implementing its balance 

sheet normalization program relatively soon, provided that 

the economy evolves broadly as anticipated.” The FOMC 

continued to assert that “the stance of monetary policy 

remains accommodative, thereby supporting some further 

strengthening in labor market conditions and a sustained 

return to 2 percent inflation.” 

Economic Growth

Since the current expansion began in mid-2009, the 

economy has grown by 18.5 percent and, as of the second 

quarter of 2017, real GDP was 13.5 percent above its level at 

the end of 2007, when the recession began. According to the 

advance estimate, real GDP rose 2.6 percent at an annual 

rate in the second quarter of 2017, accelerating from a 1.2 

percent advance in the first quarter. Consumer spending 

grew much faster in the second quarter, while nonresidential fixed investment and net exports continued to add 

to growth. Total government spending also contributed, as a 

rise in federal expenditures helped offset a decline in State 

and local government spending. Inventory accumulation had 

a neutral impact on growth, after several quarters of posing a 

drag. Residential investment fell following two strong 

quarters of growth, subtracting from real GDP.

Real personal consumption expenditures—which 

account for about 69 percent of GDP—rose at a 2.8 percent 

annual rate in the second quarter, picking up significantly 

from a 1.9 percent pace in the first quarter. Across spending 

categories, consumption growth for durables advanced at a 

4.7 percent annual rate in the second quarter, following a 0.7 

percent rise in the previous quarter, while consumption of 

nondurables jumped 6.3 percent in the latest quarter, after 

edging down 0.1 percent in the first quarter. Services 

consumption rose 1.9 percent in the second quarter, slowing 

from the first quarter’s 2.5 percent pace. Altogether, 

consumption added 1.9 percentage points to real GDP 

growth in the second quarter, much more than the 1.3 

percentage point contribution in the first quarter.

After strong growth in the two previous quarters, housing 

activity waned in the second quarter. Residential investment 

fell 6.8 percent at an annual rate in the second quarter, after 

surging by 11.1 percent in the first quarter. Residential 

activity accounts for 3.8 percent of GDP and subtracted 0.3 

percentage point from second-quarter real GDP growth.

Home building and home sales remain on a gradual 

upward trend. Single-family housing starts gained 10.3 

percent over the year through June 2017 to an annual rate of 

849,000 units. However, single-family starts remain 53

September 2017

percent below their January 2006 peak and also below the 

1.1 million unit average observed from 1980 to 2004. Multifamily starts fell 12.9 percent over the year through June 

2017, and are 18.7 percent below the pre-recession peak. 

Sales of new single-family homes rose 9.1 percent over the 

year through June 2017 to a 610,000 annual rate. Sales of 

existing homes (94 percent of all home sales, including 

single-family, condos and co-ops) increased 0.7 percent over 

the year through June 2017, to a 5.5 million annual rate.

Nonresidential fixed investment—12.4 percent of 

GDP—advanced 5.2 percent at an annual rate in the second 

quarter of 2017, following a 7.1 percent increase in the first 

quarter. One subcomponent accelerated, with the pace of 

equipment investment nearly doubling to reach an annual 

rate of 8.2 percent, up from 4.4 percent in the previous 

quarter. The other two components expanded but at a slower 

pace than in the first quarter. Outlays for intellectual 

property products grew at annual rate of 1.4 percent, 

compared with 5.8 percent in the first quarter. Spending on 

structures rose 4.9 percent at an annual rate, after a 14.8 

percent surge in the first quarter that was driven largely by 

energy-sector spending. Altogether, nonresidential fixed 

investment added 0.6 percentage point to real GDP growth 

in the second quarter, after contributing 0.9 percentage point 

in the first quarter. After posing a drag on growth in six of 

the previous eight quarters, inventory investment made an 

essentially neutral contribution to growth in the second 

quarter, following a 1.5 percentage point subtraction in the 

first quarter. 

Exports account for about 12 percent of GDP, while 

imports (which are subtracted from total domestic spending 

to calculate GDP) account for nearly 15 percent. In the 

second quarter of 2017, exports grew by 4.1 percent (after 

rising 7.3 percent in the previous quarter) and import growth 

slowed to 2.1 percent (from 4.3 percent in the first quarter). 

The net export deficit narrowed a bit, adding 0.2 percentage 

point to real GDP growth in the second quarter after making 

a similar contribution to growth in the first quarter.

The current account balance (reflecting international 

trade in goods and services as well as investment income 

flows and unilateral transfers) has been in deficit almost 

continuously since the early 1980s and in 2006 reached a 

record $807 billion, equivalent to 5.8 percent of GDP. The 

current account deficit narrowed sharply during the 

recession to $384 billion (2.7 percent of GDP) in 2009. It 

has widened somewhat since then but remains well below its 

2006 peak. In the first quarter of 2017 (latest data available), 

the current account deficit widened to $467 billion 

(annualized), or 2.5 percent of GDP.

Government purchases—which account for close to 18 

percent of GDP—posed a drag on GDP growth each year 

from 2011 through 2014, but contributed modestly on net to 

economic growth in 2015 and 2016. In the second quarter of 

2017, government outlays increased by 0.7 percent, after 

falling by 0.6 percent in the previous quarter, and added 0.1 

percentage point to real GDP growth. At the federal level, 

spending rose 2.3 percent, after falling 2.4 percent in the first 

quarter. State and local government spending declined 0.2 

percent, following a 0.5 percent advance in the first quarter. 

State and local government spending declined for 13 straight 

quarters from the fourth quarter of 2009 through the fourth 

quarter of 2012, but has risen in all but six quarters since 

then. Similarly, spending cutbacks at the federal level 

restrained overall growth from late 2010 through 2014.

Labor Markets

During the recession (from December 2007 through June 

2009), the economy lost 7.4 million jobs. Job losses 

continued even after the recovery began, but February 2010 

was the low point and employment rose in March of that 

year. Since then, through July 2017, total nonfarm payroll 

employment has increased by 16.9 million. Private-sector 

employment has risen 17.0 million.

Job losses during the recession were spread broadly 

across most sectors but, with the resumption of job growth, 

all of these sectors have added jobs. Since the labor market 

recovery began in early 2010, through July 2017, payrolls in 

professional and business services have risen by 4.2 million, 

and the leisure and hospitality industry’s employment has 

increased by about 3.0 million through July 2017. 

Employment in the manufacturing sector has expanded by 

972,000 since early 2010 and the construction sector has 

added 1.4 million workers to its payrolls. A few sectors 

added 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 2.8 million jobs. 

On a net basis, the government sector also added workers to 

payrolls during the recession, although payrolls began 

declining late in 2008 and trended lower until early 2014. 

Government employment has increased since then but 

growth has been uneven. From January 2014 through July 

2017, the government sector has added 553,000 jobs. Much 

of that growth occurred at the local level with the addition of 

428,000 positions, including 211,000 jobs in local education. 

Federal government employment has risen by 77,000 during 

this period and state government employment has increased 

by 48,000.

The unemployment rate peaked in October 2009 at a 26-

year high of 10.0 percent—5.4 percentage points above the 

4.6 percent average that prevailed in 2006 and 2007, before 

the recession began. Since then, the unemployment rate has 

trended lower and in July 2017 stood at 4.3 percent, 

matching the 16-year low reached in May 2017.
PROFILE OF THE ECONOMY 5

September 2017

Broader measures of unemployment have also declined 

to levels much closer to pre-recession levels. The broadest 

measure, which includes workers who are underemployed 

and those who are only marginally attached to the labor 

force (the U-6 unemployment rate), has fallen from a record 

high of 17.1 percent in late 2009 and early 2010 to 8.6 

percent in July 2017. The U-6 unemployment rate averaged 

8.3 percent in the 2 years prior to the last recession. The 

percentage of the unemployed who have been out of work

for 27 weeks or more also remains elevated relative to its 

pre-recession average. In July 2017, 25.9 percent of 

unemployed workers were included in this category 

compared with readings around 17.5 percent before the 

recession.

Inflation

Headline inflation rates have accelerated relatively to 

year-ago readings but the recent pull-back in oil prices has 

contributed to a slowing of inflation in recent months. 

Headline and core inflation readings are still relatively low, 

and core inflation remains stable. Headline consumer prices 

rose 1.6 percent over the 12 months ending in June 2017, a 

slower reading than the 2.7 percent rate seen in February 

2017, but faster than the 1.0 percent increase during the 

previous year. Energy prices advanced 2.3 percent over the 

year through June 2017, in sharp contrast with the 9.4 

percent plunge over the year through June 2016. On a yearover-year basis, food prices rose 0.9 percent over the year 

through June 2017, faster than the 0.3 percent pace over the 

12 months ending in June 2016. On a 12-month basis, core 

consumer prices (excluding food and energy) rose 1.7 

percent through June 2017, slowing from the 2.2 percent 

increase in the year ending in June 2016. Core inflation had 

been near or below 2 percent from early 2013 through late 

2015, but hovered around 2-1⁄4 percent throughout 2016 and 

the first quarter of 2017, before slowing to an average 1-3⁄4 

percent in the second quarter.

Oil and gasoline prices fell sharply between mid-2014 

and early 2015. They trended higher in the spring and early 

summer of 2015, but resumed a declining trend through 

early 2016, reaching their lowest levels since early 2009. 

Prices have since trended higher, although there was a small 

pull-back in oil prices in the spring and early summer of 

2017. The front month futures price of West Texas 

Intermediate (WTI) crude oil averaged $46.63 per barrel in 

July 2017, up $1.45 from the previous month’s average, and 

$1.98 above the July 2016 average. The retail price of 

regular gasoline averaged $2.35 per gallon in July 2017, 6 

cents higher than the previous month, and 17 cents higher 

than its July 2016 average.

Home prices have continued to rise. While the pace of 

increase remains below that observed in mid-2013, it far 

exceeds the increases in broad measures of consumer prices. 

The FHFA purchase-only home price index rose 6.9 percent 

over the year ending in May 2017, lower than the peak rates 

of around 8 percent observed in mid-2013. The Standard and 

Poor’s (S&P)/Case-Shiller composite 20-city home price 

index rose 5.7 percent over the year ending in May 2017, a 

pace less than half the peak rate of 13.8 percent in 

November 2013.

September 2017

Federal Budget and Debt

The federal budget deficit declined to $438 billion (2.5 

percent of GDP) in fiscal year 2015, reaching an 8-year low, 

but rose to $587 billion (3.2 percent of GDP) in fiscal year 

2016. The deficit is now 6.6 percentage points below the 

peak of 9.8 percent reached in fiscal year 2009. Debt held by 

the public rose to $14.2 trillion at the end of fiscal year 

2016. As a share of the economy, publicly held debt rose to 

77.0 percent of GDP in fiscal year 2016, from 73.7 percent 

at the end of fiscal year 2015.

On May 23, 2017, the Administration released its Fiscal 

Year 2018 Budget. It projects the Federal Government will 

post a budget deficit of $603 billion (3.1 percent of GDP) in 

fiscal year 2017, up slightly from $585 billion (3.2 percent 

of GDP) in fiscal year 2016.The Budget forecasts the deficit 

will range between 2-1⁄4 and 2-1⁄2 percent of GDP from fiscal 

year 2018 to 2020, but, thereafter, will fall as Administration 

policies are enacted. By 2027, the Administration expects its 

policies to create a modest surplus of $16 billion (0.1 percent 

of GDP). The primary deficit (receipts less spending 

excluding interest payments) will be 1.7 percent of GDP in 

fiscal year 2017, turning into a small primary surplus by 

fiscal year 2021. The primary surplus is projected to grow in 

the latter part of the forecast horizon, climbing to 2.1 percent 

of GDP by fiscal year 2027.

Federal debt held by the public, or federal debt less that 

held in government accounts, is projected to rise to 77.4 

percent of GDP ($14.8 trillion) in fiscal year 2017 from 77.0 

percent ($14.2 trillion) in fiscal year 2016. Debt held by the 

public is projected to fall thereafter as a percentage of GDP, 

dropping to 59.8 percent by fiscal year 2027.

Economic Policy

Key fiscal and monetary policy actions taken in past 

years aided the recovery and helped reinforce the expansion. 

On the fiscal policy side, these measures included the 

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, 

a variety of selected tax cuts and credits for individuals and 

businesses, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 

(ATRA), financial support for State and local Governments, 

and extensions of Emergency Unemployment benefits.

On May 5, the President signed an omnibus bill to fully 

fund the federal government through September 2017. The 

omnibus bill appropriates $1.1 trillion for discretionary 

spending, including non-capped spending for Overseas 

Contingency Operations and emergency and disaster relief 

funding.

The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 suspended the debt 

ceiling from November 2, 2015, through March 15, 2017. 

On March 16, 2017, the debt ceiling was reinstated and 

increased to include borrowing since October 2015. With 

federal debt now at the statutory limit of $19.9 trillion, the 

Treasury Department has suspended issuing debt to finance 

government operations, and is now using extraordinary 

measures to balance any financing gaps between revenues 

and outlays.

On the monetary policy side, the Federal Reserve began 

its last cycle of monetary policy easing in September 2007, 

partly in response to rising financial market stress, as well as 

to signs of slowing in the broader economy. By December 

2008, the FOMC had lowered the federal funds target 

interest rate to an historically low range of 0 to 0.25 percent. 

The FOMC maintained this range until December 2015 and 

then raised the rate by 25 basis points to 0.25 to 0.5 percent. 

The Committee raised the rate by another 25 basis points in 

December 2016 to 0.5 to 0.75 percent, and raised it by a 

further 25 basis points to 0.75 to 1.0 percent at its March 14-

15, 2017, meeting. At its meeting on June 13-14, 2017, the 

rate was raised by an additional 25 basis points to 1.0 to 1.25 

percent. The FOMC maintained this range at its most recent 

meeting on July 25-26, 2017, and its view, first expressed at 

the December 2015 meeting, that it “expects economic 

conditions will evolve in a manner that will warrant only 

gradual increases in the federal funds rate; the federal funds 

rate is likely to remain, for some time, below levels that are 

expected to prevail in the longer run.”

In addition to lowering the federal funds rate target to 

respond to the financial crisis and slower economic growth, 

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 
PROFILE OF THE ECONOMY 7

September 2017

longer-term Treasury securities and continue rolling over the 

Federal Reserve’s holdings of Treasury securities as they 

mature. At the end of June 2011, the FOMC completed 

purchases of $600 billion of longer-term Treasury securities. 

At the September 2011 meeting, the FOMC announced it 

would extend the average maturity of its holdings (a socalled “twist” operation) by purchasing $400 billion of 

longer-term Treasury securities (6 to 30 years) and selling an 

equal amount of shorter-term Treasury securities (3 years or 

less), all by the end of June 2012. The Committee also 

announced the reinvestment of principal payments from its 

holdings of agency debt and agency mortgage-backed 

securities into the latter securities. At the June 2012 meeting, 

the FOMC extended and expanded its program to extend the 

average maturity of its holdings (the so-called “twist” 

operation announced in September 2011). At the September 

2012 meeting, the FOMC announced it would increase 

monetary accommodation through $40 billion per month in 

additional purchases of mortgage-backed securities through 

the end of the year.

The FOMC announced additional monetary 

accommodation at the December 2012 meeting, including 

the completion of short-term securities sales (which drain 

liquidity) and the continuation of purchases of long-term 

Treasury securities at a rate of $45 billion per month beyond 

the end of 2012. The FOMC also indicated that monthly 

purchases of mortgage-backed securities at a pace of $40 

billion per month would continue, and affirmed its existing 

policy of reinvesting principal payments. At its most recent 

meeting on July 25-26, 2017, the Committee indicated that 

“for the time being” it is “maintaining its existing policy of 

reinvesting principal payments from its holdings of agency 

debt and agency mortgage-backed securities, and of rolling 

over maturing Treasury securities at auction.” It also 

signaled that it “expects to begin implementing its balance 

sheet normalization program relatively soon, provided that 

the economy evolves broadly as anticipated.” This program 

would gradually reduce the Federal Reserve’s holdings of 

securities by decreasing reinvestment of principal payments 

from those securities.

At the December 2013 meeting, the FOMC announced a 

tapering of long-term Treasury security purchases and 

mortgage-backed securities purchases of $5 billion each, 

beginning in January 2014. The tapering brought monthly 

purchases to $40 billion and $35 billion, respectively. At 

each subsequent meeting in January, March, April, June, 

July, and September 2014, the Committee announced further 

tapering of asset purchases of $5 billion in each category. At 

its meeting in October 2014, the Committee announced the 

conclusion of its asset purchase program at the end of 

October 2014.

Financial Markets

Financial markets have largely recovered from the 

unprecedented strains experienced in the fall of 2008. Credit 

flows have increased substantially, and measures of risk 

tolerance and volatility have all improved, on net.

Equity markets have more than recovered from the steep 

losses incurred in 2008, when the S&P 500 index suffered its 

largest annual loss since the Great Depression. After 

advancing 9.5 percent in 2016, the index has risen 10.6 

percent thus far in 2017 through early August, and is 

currently 58 percent above its October 2007 peak. Volatility 

has also declined markedly: the S&P Stock Market 

Volatility Index (VIX) often used as a measure of financial

market uncertainty, stood at about 10 as of early August 

2017—down sharply from an all-time high of 80 in late 

October 2008. 

A variety of factors have buffeted long-term Treasury 

interest rates over the past several years, including flight-toquality flows in response to a variety of specific risk events, 

as well as supply concerns related to funding of the 

Government’s debt, and concerns about global financial 

markets and global growth. More recently, yields have been 

affected by adjustments to expectations for more 

government spending and higher inflation. After falling by 

nearly 90 basis points during 2014, the yield on the 10-year 

Treasury note rose by about 10 basis points over the course 

of 2015 and by about 18 basis points over 2016. Currently, 

the 10-year yield stands at 2.27 percent, well above the 

record low of 1.43 percent reached in late July 2012, but 18 

basis points lower on the year through early August. The 3-

month Treasury bill yield dipped below 0.1 percent between 

January 2012 and November 2015, but since then has

trended higher, and stood at about 1.1 percent as of early 

August 2017. The 2- to 10-year Treasury yield spread, one 

measure of the steepness of the yield curve, narrowed 

significantly from November 2013 to July 2016 when it 

stood at 76 basis points. Since then, however, the spread has 

widened, and stood at 90 basis points as of early August 

2017.

Key interest rates on private securities, which spiked in 

response to financial market turbulence in late 2008, have 

since retraced as conditions have stabilized. The spread 

between the 3-month London Inter-bank Offered Rate 

(LIBOR) and the 3-month Treasury bill rate (also known as 

the TED spread, a measure of inter-bank liquidity and credit 

risk) rose to an all-time high of nearly 460 basis points in 

early October 2008. However, improvements in short-term 

credit availability have led to a narrowing of this spread, 

which stood at 23 basis points as of early August 2017. 

Measures of longer-term credit risk have also improved. 

The spread between the 10-year Treasury BBB (TBBB) 

corporate bond yield and the 10-year Treasury Constant 

Maturity yield averaged 211 basis points as of September 

2016, and since then has narrowed, standing at an average 

172 basis points in July 2017. The spread between the 10-

year Treasury High Quality Market (HQM) corporate bond 

yield and the 10-year Treasury Constant Maturity yield 

averaged 136 basis points in September 2016, and since then 

has narrowed to an average of 106 basis points as of July 

2017. (The HQM and TBBB yield curves are produced in 

Treasury’s Office of Macroeconomic Analysis. The 10-year 

yields from these curves correspond to the 10-year Treasury 

yield, so the spreads provide a more accurate measure of 

credit risk.)

Rates for conforming mortgages have trended lower in 

recent years, as have rates for jumbo mortgages. The interest 

rate for a 30-year conforming fixed-rate mortgage fell to a 

record low of 3.31 percent in November 2012. In the spring 

of 2013, however, it moved sharply higher, peaking at 4.58 

percent in August 2013. After that, this rate moved lower, to 

3.41 percent in July 2016. Since then, the rate has trended 

higher, and in July 2017 averaged 3.97 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 39 percent. Although the dollar’s exchange value 

against this index remains well below the February 2002 

peak, it has appreciated between August 2011 and July 2017 

by about 30 percent. From August 2011 through July 2017, 

the dollar has appreciated by about 46 percent against the 

yen and by about 24 percent against the euro. Against an 

index of currencies of 19 other important trading partners 

(including China, India, and Mexico), the dollar has 

appreciated by about 25 percent.

INTRODUCTION: Federal Fiscal Operations

Budget authority usually takes the form of 

appropriations that allow obligations to be incurred and 

payments to be made. Reappropriations are Congressional 

actions that extend the availability of unobligated amounts

that have expired or would otherwise expire. These are 

counted as new budget authority in the fiscal year of the 

legislation in which the reappropriation act is included, 

regardless of when the amounts were originally appropriated 

or when they would otherwise lapse.

Obligations generally are liquidated by the issuance of 

checks or the disbursement of cash—outlays. Obligations 

may also be liquidated (and outlays recorded) by the accrual 

of interest on public issues of Treasury debt securities 

(including an increase in redemption value of bonds 

outstanding); or by the issuance of bonds, debentures, notes, 

monetary credits, or electronic payments.

Refunds of collections generally are treated as 

reductions of collections, whereas payments for earnedincome tax credits in excess of tax liabilities are treated as 

outlays. Outlays during a fiscal year may be for payment of 

obligations incurred in prior years or in the same year. 

Outlays, therefore, flow in part from unexpended balances 

of prior year budget authority and from budget authority 

provided for the year in which the money is spent. Total 

outlays include both budget and off-budget outlays and are 

stated net of offsetting collections.

Receipts are reported in the tables as either budget 

receipts or offsetting collections. They are collections from 

the public, excluding receipts offset against outlays. These, 

also called governmental receipts, consist mainly of tax 

receipts (including social insurance taxes), receipts from 

court fines, certain licenses, and deposits of earnings by the 

Federal Reserve system. Refunds of receipts are treated as 

deductions from gross receipts. Total Government receipts 

are compared with total outlays in calculating the budget 

surplus or deficit.

Offsetting collections from other Government accounts 

or the public are of a business-type or market-oriented 

nature. They are classified as either collections credited to 

appropriations or fund accounts, or offsetting receipts (i.e., 

amounts deposited in receipt accounts). The former 

normally can be used without an appropriation act by 

Congress. These occur in two instances: (1) when 

authorized by law, amounts collected for materials or 

services are treated as reimbursements to appropriations. 

For accounting purposes, earned reimbursements are also 

known as revenues. These offsetting collections are netted 

against gross outlays in determining net outlays from such 

appropriations; and (2) in the three types of revolving funds 

(public enterprise, intragovernmental, and trust); offsetting 

collections are netted against spending, and outlays are 

reported as the net amount.

Offsetting receipts in receipt accounts cannot be used 

without appropriation. They are subdivided into three 

categories: (1) proprietary receipts, or collections from the 

public, offset against outlays by agency and by function; (2) 

intragovernmental transactions, or payments into receipt 

accounts from governmental appropriation or fund accounts. 

They finance operations within and between Government 

agencies and are credited with collections from other 

Government accounts; and (3) offsetting governmental 

receipts that include foreign cash contributions.

Intrabudgetary transactions are subdivided into three 

categories: (1) interfund transactions—payments are from 

one fund group (either Federal funds or trust funds) to a 

receipt account in the other fund group; (2) Federal 

intrafund transactions—payments and receipts both occur 

within the Federal fund group; and (3) trust intrafund 

transactions—payments and receipts both occur within the 

trust fund group.

Offsetting receipts are generally deducted from budget 

authority and outlays by function, subfunction, or agency. 

There are four types of receipts, however, that are deducted 

from budget totals as undistributed offsetting receipts. They 

are: (1) agencies’ payments (including payments by offbudget Federal entities) as employers into employees’ 

retirement funds; (2) interest received by trust funds; (3) 

rents and royalties on the Outer Continental Shelf lands; and 

(4) other interest (i.e., that collected on Outer Continental 

Shelf money in deposit funds when such money is 

transferred into the budget).

The Government has used the unified budget concept set 

forth in the “Report of the President’s Commission on 

Budget Concepts” as a foundation for its budgetary analysis 

and presentation since 1969. The concept calls for the 

budget to include all of the Government’s fiscal transactions 

with the public. Since 1971, however, various laws have 

been enacted removing several Federal entities from (or 

creating them outside of) the budget. Other laws have 

moved certain off-budget Federal entities onto the budget. 

Under current law, the off-budget Federal entities consist of 

the two Social Security trust funds, Federal Old-Age and 

Survivors Insurance and the Federal Disability Insurance 

Trust Fund, and the Postal Service.

Although an off-budget Federal entity’s receipts, 

outlays, and surplus or deficit ordinarily are not subject to 

targets set by the Congressional resolution, the Balanced 

Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 

[commonly known as the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Act as 

amended by the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990 (2 United 

States Code 900-922)] included off-budget surplus or deficit 

in calculating deficit targets under that act and in calculating 

excess deficit. Partly for this reason, attention has focused

on both on- and off-budget receipts, outlays and deficit of 

the Government.

Tables FFO-1, FFO-2, and FFO-3 are published 

quarterly and cover 5 years of data, estimates for 2 years, 

detail for 13 months, and fiscal year-to-date data. They 

provide a summary of data relating to Federal fiscal 

operations reported by Federal entities and disbursing 

officers, and daily reports from the FRBs. They also detail 

accounting transactions affecting receipts and outlays of the 

Government and off-budget Federal entities and their related 

effect on assets and liabilities of the Government. Data are 

derived from the “Monthly Treasury Statement of Receipts 

and Outlays of the United States Government.”

• Table FFO-1 summarizes the amount of total 

receipts, outlays, and surplus or deficit, as well as 

transactions in Federal securities, monetary assets, and 

balances in Treasury operating cash.

• Table FFO-2 includes on- and off-budget receipts 

by source. Amounts represent income taxes, social 

insurance taxes, net contributions for other insurance and 

retirement, excise taxes, estate and gift taxes, customs 

duties, and net miscellaneous receipts.

• Table FFO-3 details on- and off-budget outlays by 

agency.

• Table FFO-4 summarizes on- and off-budget 

receipts by source and outlays by function as reported to 

each major fund group classification for the current fiscal 

year to date and prior fiscal year to date.

• Table FFO-5 summarizes internal revenue receipts 

by states and by type of tax. Amounts reported are 

collections made in a fiscal year. They span several tax 

liability years because they consist of prepayments 

(estimated tax payments and taxes withheld by employers 

for individual income and Social Security taxes), payments 

made with tax returns and subsequent payments made after 

tax returns are due or are filed (that is, payments with 

delinquent returns or on delinquent accounts).

Amounts are reported based on the primary filing 

address provided by each taxpayer or reporting entity. For 

multistate corporations, the address may reflect only the 

district where such a corporation reported its taxes from a 

principal office rather than other districts where income was 

earned or where individual income and Social Security taxes 

were withheld. In addition, an individual may reside in one 

district and work in another.

• Table FFO-6 includes customs collection of duties, 

taxes, and fees by districts and ports.

Third-Quarter Receipts

The following capsule analysis of budget receipts, by 

source, for the third quarter of fiscal year 2017

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 analyze adequately 

collections for the quarter.

Individual income taxes—Individual income tax 

receipts, net of refunds, were $503.8 billion for the third 

quarter of fiscal year 2017. This is an increase of $6.9 

billion over the comparable prior year quarter. Withheld 

receipts increased by $21.3 billion and non-withheld 

receipts decreased by $7.9 billion during this period. 

Refunds increased by $6.5 billion over the comparable fiscal 

year 2016 quarter. There was an increase of $17.5 billion in 

accounting adjustments between individual income tax 

receipts and the Social Security and Medicare trust funds 

over the comparable quarter in fiscal year 2016.

Corporate income taxes— Net corporate income tax 

receipts were $123.0 billion for the third quarter of fiscal 

year 2017. This is an increase of $21.5 billion compared to 

the prior year third quarter. The $21.5 billion change is 

comprised of an increase of $21.1 billion in estimated and 

final payments, and a decrease of $0.5 billion in corporate 

refunds.

Employment taxes and contributions— Employment 

taxes and contributions receipts for the third quarter of fiscal 

year 2017 were $316.4 billion, an increase of $13.6 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 $8.4 billion, $3.4 billion, and $1.7 billion

respectively. There was a -$5.3 billion accounting 

adjustment for prior years employment tax liabilities made 

in the third quarter of fiscal year 2017, while there was a 

$12.3 billion adjustment in the third quarter of fiscal year 

2016.

Unemployment insurance—Unemployment insurance 

receipts, net of refunds, for the third quarter of fiscal year 

2017 were $22.9 billion, a decrease of $0.6 billion over the 

comparable quarter of fiscal year 2016. Net State taxes 

deposited in the U.S. Treasury decreased by $0.8 billion to 

$19.4 billion. Net Federal Unemployment Tax Act taxes 

increased by $0.1 billion to $3.5 billion.

Contributions for other insurance and retirement—

Contributions for other retirement were $1.1 billion for the 

third quarter of fiscal year 2017. This was a negligible 

change from the comparable quarter of fiscal year 2016. 

Excise taxes—Net excise tax receipts for the third 

quarter of fiscal year 2017 were $19.9 billion, an increase of 

$0.2 billion over the comparable prior year quarter. Total 

excise tax refunds for the quarter were $1.9 billion, not a 

significant change over the comparable prior year quarter. 

Estate and gift taxes—Net estate and gift tax receipts 

were $7.7 billion for the third quarter of fiscal year 2017. 

These receipts represent an increase of $1.4 billion over the 

same quarter in fiscal year 2016. 

Customs duties—Customs duties net of refunds were 

$8.3 billion for the third quarter of fiscal year 2017. This is

an increase of $0.3 billion over the comparable prior year 

quarter. 

Miscellaneous receipts—Net miscellaneous receipts 

for the third quarter of fiscal year 2017 were $31.6 billion, a

decrease of $1.3 billion over the comparable prior year 

quarter. This change is due in part to deposits of earnings by 

Federal Reserve banks decreasing by $3.8 billion.

INTRODUCTION: Source and Availability of the

Balance in the Account of the U.S. Treasury

The Department of the Treasury’s (Treasury’s) operating 

cash is maintained in accounts with the Federal Reserve 

banks (FRBs) and branches, as well as in tax and loan 

accounts in other financial institutions. Major information 

sources include FRBs, Treasury Regional Financial Centers, 

Internal Revenue Service Centers, Bureau of the Fiscal 

Service, and various electronic systems. As the FRB 

accounts are depleted, funds are called in (withdrawn) from 

thousands of tax and loan accounts at financial institutions 

throughout the country.

Under authority of Public Law 95-147 (codified at 31 

United States Code 323), Treasury implemented a program 

on November 2, 1978, to invest a portion of its operating 

cash in obligations of depositaries maintaining tax and loan 

accounts. Under the Treasury tax and loan (TT&L) 

investment program, depositary financial institutions select 

the manner in which they will participate. Financial 

institutions wishing to retain funds deposited into their tax 

and loan accounts in interest-bearing obligations can 

participate. The program permits Treasury to collect funds 

through financial institutions and to leave the funds in TT&L 

depositaries and in the financial communities in which they 

arise until Treasury needs the funds for its operations. In this 

way, Treasury is able to neutralize the effect of its 

fluctuating operations on TT&L financial institution reserves 

and on the economy. Likewise, those institutions wishing to 

remit the funds to the Treasury account at FRBs do so as 

collector depositaries.

Deposits to tax and loan accounts occur as customers of 

financial institutions deposit tax payments that the financial 

institutions use to purchase Government securities. In most 

cases, this involves a transfer of funds from a customer’s 

account to the tax and loan account in the same financial 

institution. Also, Treasury can direct the FRBs to invest 

excess funds in tax and loan accounts directly from the 

Treasury account at the FRBs.

INTRODUCTION: Federal Debt

Treasury securities (i.e., public debt securities) comprise 

most of the Federal debt, with securities issued by other 

Federal agencies accounting for the rest. Tables in this section 

of the “Treasury Bulletin” reflect the total. Further detailed 

information is published in the “Monthly Statement of the 

Public Debt of the United States.” Likewise, information on 

agency securities and on investments of Federal Government 

accounts in Federal securities is published in the “Monthly 

Treasury Statement of Receipts and Outlays of the United 

States Government.”

Treasury’s Bureau of the Fiscal Service compiles data in 

the “Treasury Bulletin” tables FD-2 and FD-6 from the 

“Monthly Statement of the Public Debt of the United States.”

• Table FD-1 summarizes the Federal debt by listing 

public debt and agency securities held by the public, including 

the Federal Reserve. It also includes debt held by Federal 

agencies, largely by the Social Security and other Federal 

retirement trust funds. The net unamortized premium and 

discount also are listed by total Federal securities, securities 

held by Government accounts and securities held by the 

public. The difference between the outstanding face value of 

the Federal debt and the net unamortized premium and 

discount is classified as the accrual amount. (For greater detail 

on holdings of Federal securities by particular classes of 

investors, see the ownership tables, OFS-1 and OFS-2.)

• Table FD-2 categorizes by type, that is, marketable 

and nonmarketable, the total public debt securities 

outstanding that are held by the public.

• In table FD-3, nonmarketable Treasury securities 

held by U.S. Government accounts are summarized by issues 

to particular funds within Government. Many of the funds 

invest in par value special series nonmarketables at interest 

rates determined by law. Others invest in market-based 

special Treasury securities whose terms mirror those of 

marketable securities.

• Table FD-4 presents interest-bearing securities issued 

by Government agencies. Federal agency borrowing has 

declined in recent years, in part because the Federal Financing 

Bank has provided financing to other Federal agencies. 

(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 longterm securities. The ceiling on Treasury bonds was repealed 

on November 10, 1988.

The volume of privately held Treasury marketable 

securities by maturity class reflects the remaining period to 

maturity of Treasury bills, notes and bonds. The average 

length is comprised of an average of remaining periods to 

maturity, weighted by the amount of each security held by 

private investors. In other words, computations of average 

length exclude Government accounts and the FRBs.

• In table FD-6, the debt ceiling is compared with the 

outstanding debt subject to limitation by law. The other debt 

category includes Federal debt Congress has designated as 

being subject to the debt ceiling.

• Table FD-7 details Treasury holdings of securities 

issued by Government corporations and other agencies. 

Certain Federal agencies are authorized to borrow money 

from the Treasury, largely to finance direct loan programs. In 

addition, agencies such as the Bonneville Power 

Administration are authorized to borrow from the Treasury to 

finance capital projects. Treasury, in turn, finances these loans 

by selling Treasury securities to the public.

INTRODUCTION: Bureau of the Fiscal Service Operations

Chapter 31 of Title 31 of the United States Code allows 

the Secretary of Treasury to borrow money by issuing 

Treasury securities. The Secretary determines the terms and 

conditions of issue, conversion, maturity, payment, and 

interest rate. New issues of Treasury notes mature in 2 to 10 

years. Bonds mature in more than 10 years from the issue 

date. Each outstanding marketable security is listed in the 

“Monthly Statement of the Public Debt of the United States.” 

The information in this section of the “Treasury Bulletin” 

pertains only to marketable Treasury securities.

The Bureau of the Fiscal Service is a new bureau within 

the Treasury Department, formed on October 7, 2012, from 

the consolidation of the Financial Management Service and 

the Bureau of the Public Debt. Our mission is to promote the 

financial integrity and operational efficiency of the U.S. 

government through exceptional accounting, financing, 

collections, payments, and shared services. As one bureau, 

the organization is better positioned to help transform 

financial management and the delivery of shared services in 

the federal government. The bureau will be a valued partner 

for agencies as they work to strengthen their own financial 

management or as they look for a quality service provider 

who can allow them to focus on their missions.

Table PDO-1 presents the results of weekly auctions of 4-, 

13-, and 26-week bills. Treasury bills mature each Thursday.

Issues of 4- and 13-week bills are reopenings of 26-week 

bills. High rates on accepted tenders and the dollar value of 

total bids are presented, with the dollar value of awards made 

on both competitive and noncompetitive basis.

To encourage the participation of individuals and smaller 

institutions, Treasury accepts noncompetitive tenders of up to 

$5 million in each auction of securities.

Table PDO-2 lists the results of auctions of marketable 

securities, other than weekly bills, in chronological order over 

the past 2 years. Issues of cash management bills also are 

presented.

Note: On July 31, 2013, Treasury published amendments 

to its marketable securities auction rules to accommodate the 

auction and issuance of Floating Rate Notes (FRNs). An FRN 

is a security that has an interest payment that can change over 

time. Treasury FRNs will be indexed to the most recent 13-

week Treasury bill auction High Rate, which is the highest 

accepted discount rate in a Treasury bill auction. FRNs will 

pay interest quarterly.

INTRODUCTION: Ownership of Federal Securities

Federal securities presented in the following tables are 

public debt securities such as savings bonds, bills, notes, and 

bonds that the Treasury issues. The tables also detail debt 

issued by other Federal agencies under special financing 

authorities. [See the Federal debt (FD) tables for a more 

complete description of the Federal debt.]

Effective January 1, 2001, Treasury’s Bureau of the 

Fiscal Service revised formats, titles, and column headings 

in the “Monthly Statement of the Public Debt of the United 

States,” Table I: Summary of Treasury Securities 

Outstanding and Table II: Statutory Debt Limit. These 

changes should reduce confusion and bring the publication 

more in line with the public’s use of terms.

Treasury’s Bureau of the Fiscal Service compiles data in 

the “Treasury Bulletin” table OFS-1 from the “Monthly 

Statement of the Public Debt of the United States.” Effective 

June 2001, Bureau of the Fiscal Service revised procedures 

and categories in this table to agree with the Bureau of the 

Fiscal Service’s publication changes.

• Table OFS-1 presents Treasury marketable and 

nonmarketable securities and debt issued by other Federal 

agencies held by Government accounts, the FRBs, and 

private investors. Social Security and Federal retirement 

trust fund investments comprise much of the Government 

account holdings.

The FRBs acquire Treasury securities in the market as a 

means of executing monetary policy.

• Table OFS-2 presents the estimated ownership of 

U.S. Treasury securities. Information is primarily obtained 

from the Federal Reserve Board of Governors Flow of Funds 

data, Table L209. State, local, and foreign holdings include 

special issues of nonmarketable securities to municipal 

entities and foreign official accounts. They also include 

municipal, foreign official, and private holdings of 

marketable Treasury securities. (See footnotes to the table 

for description of investor categories.)

INTRODUCTION: U.S. Currency and Coin Outstanding and in Circulation 

The U.S. Currency and Coin Outstanding and in 

Circulation (USCC) statement informs the public of the total 

face value of currency and coin used as a medium of 

exchange that is in circulation at the end of a given 

accounting month. The statement defines the total amount of 

currency and coin outstanding and the portion deemed to be 

in circulation. It includes some old and current rare issues 

that do not circulate or that may do so to a limited extent. 

Treasury includes them in the statement because the issues 

were originally intended for general circulation. 

The USCC statement provides a description of the 

various issues of paper money. It also gives an estimated 

average of currency and coin held by each individual, using 

estimates of population from the Bureau of the Census. 

USCC information has been published by Treasury since 

1888, and was published separately until 1983, when it was 

incorporated into the “Treasury Bulletin.” The USCC comes 

from monthly reports compiled by Treasury offices, U.S. 

Mint offices, the Federal Reserve banks (FRBs), and the 

Federal Reserve Board.

INTRODUCTION: Foreign Currency Positions

The “Treasury Bulletin” reports foreign currency holdings of large 

foreign exchange market participants. These reports provide information on 

positions in derivative instruments, such as foreign exchange futures and

options that are increasingly used in establishing foreign exchange positions 

but were not covered in the old reports.

The information is based on reports of large foreign exchange market 

participants on holdings of five major foreign currencies (Canadian dollar, 

Japanese yen, Swiss franc, pound sterling, and euro) and the U.S. dollar. 

Positions in the U.S. dollar, which have been collected since January 1999, 

are intended to approximate “all other” currency positions of reporting 

institutions. U.S.-based businesses file a consolidated report for their 

domestic and foreign subsidiaries, branches, and agencies. U.S. subsidiaries 

of foreign entities file only for themselves, not for their foreign parents. 

Filing is required by law (31 United States Code 5315; 31 Code of Federal 

Regulations 128, Subpart C).

Weekly and monthly reports must be filed throughout the calendar year 

by major foreign exchange market participants, which are defined as market 

participants with more than $50 billion equivalent in foreign exchange 

contracts on the last business day of any calendar quarter during the 

previous year (end March, September, September, or December). Such 

contracts include the amounts of foreign exchange spot contracts bought 

and sold, foreign exchange forward contracts bought and sold, foreign 

exchange futures bought and sold, and one half the notional amount of 

foreign exchange options bought and sold.

A quarterly report must be filed throughout the calendar year by each 

foreign exchange market participant that had more than $5 billion 

equivalent in foreign exchange contracts on the last business day of any 

quarter the previous year (end March, June, September, or December).

This information is published in six sections corresponding to each of 

the major currencies covered by the reports. Tables I-1 through VI-1 present 

the currency data reported weekly by major market participants. Tables I-2 

through VI-2 present more detailed currency data of major market 

participants, based on monthly reports. Tables I-3 through VI-3 present 

quarterly consolidated currency data reported by large market participants 

that do not file weekly reports. The information in the tables referenced 

above is based on the reports referenced in this Introduction: Foreign 

Currency Positions and is not audited by the Federal Reserve banks or the 

Treasury Department.

Principal exchanged under cross-currency interest rate swaps is 

reported as part of purchases or sales of foreign exchange. Such principal 

also was noted separately on monthly and quarterly reports through 

December 1998, when this practice was discontinued. The net options 

position, or the net delta-equivalent value of an options position, is an 

estimate of the relationship between an option’s value and an equivalent 

currency hedge. The delta equivalent value is defined as the product of the 

first partial derivative of an option valuation formula (with respect to the 

price of the underlying currency) multiplied by the notional principal of the 

contract.

INTRODUCTION: Exchange Stabilization Fund

To stabilize the exchange value of the dollar, the 

Exchange Stabilization Fund -ESF was established pursuant 

to chapter 6, section 10 of the Gold Reserve Act of January 

30, 1934 -codified at 31 United States Code 5302, which 

authorized establishment of a Treasury fund to be operated 

under the exclusive control of the Secretary, with approval 

of the President. 

Subsequent amendment of the Gold Reserve Act 

modified the original purpose somewhat to reflect 

termination of the fixed exchange rate system. 

Resources of the fund include dollar balances, partially 

invested in U.S. Government securities, special drawing

rights -SDRs, and balances of foreign currencies. Principal 

sources of income -+ or loss -- for the fund are profits -+ or 

losses -- on SDRs and foreign exchange, as well as interest 

earned on assets. 

 Table ESF-1 presents the assets, liabilities, and 

capital of the fund. The figures are in U.S. dollars or their 

equivalents based on current exchange rates computed 

according to the accrual method of accounting. The capital 

account represents the original capital appropriated to the fund 

by Congress of $2 billion, minus a subsequent transfer of $1.8 

billion to pay for the initial U.S. quota subscription to the 

International Monetary Fund. Gains and losses are reflected in 

the cumulative net income -+ or loss -- account. 

 Table ESF-2 shows the results of operations by 

quarter. Figures are in U.S. dollars or their equivalents 

computed according to the accrual method. “Profit -+ or loss 

-- on foreign exchange” includes realized profits or losses. 

“Adjustment for change in valuation of SDR holdings and 

allocations” reflects net gain or loss on revaluation of SDR 

holdings and allocations for the quarter.

1 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.”

TABLE TF-6A—Highway Trust Fund

The following information is released according to the 

provisions of the Byrd Amendment [codified at 26 United 

States Code 9503(d)] and represents data concerning the 

Highway Trust Fund. The figure described as “unfunded 

authorizations” is the latest estimate received from the DOT.

The 48-month revenue estimates for the highway and 

mass transit accounts, respectively, include the latest 

estimates received from Treasury’s Office of Tax Analysis 

for excise taxes, net of refunds. They represent net highway 

receipts for those periods.

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.

Pursuant to 31 U.S.C. 3101(b). By the Bipartisan Budget 

Act of 2015, Public Law 114-74, the Statutory Debt Limit 

has been suspended through March 15, 2017. The Statutory 

Debt Limit was permanently increased effective March 16, 

2017 to $19,808,772,381,624.74.

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-targeted issue (PDO-2)—Foreign-targeted issues 

were notes sold between October 1984 and February 1986 to 

foreign institutions, foreign branches of U.S. institutions, 

foreign central banks or monetary authorities, or to 

international organizations in which the United States held 

membership. Sold as companion issues, they could be 

converted to domestic (normal) Treasury notes with the same 

maturity and interest rates. Interest was paid annually.

Government account series (FD-2)—Certain trust fund 

statutes require the Secretary of the Treasury to apply monies 

held by these funds toward the issuance of nonmarketable 

special securities. These securities are sold directly by

Treasury to a specific Government agency, trust fund, or 

account. Their rate is based on an average of market yields on 

outstanding Treasury obligations, and they may be redeemed 

at the option of the holder. Roughly 80 percent of these are 

issued to five holders: the Federal Old-Age and Survivors 

Insurance Trust Fund; the civil service retirement and 

disability fund; the Federal Hospital Insurance Trust Fund; the 

military retirement fund; and the Unemployment Trust Fund.

Interfund transactions (“Federal Fiscal Operations”)—

Transactions in which payments are made from one fund 

group (either Federal funds or trust funds) to a receipt account 

in another group.

International Monetary Fund transactions (“Exchange 

Stabilization Fund”, ESF-1)—(IMF) Established by the 

United Nations, the IMF promotes international trade, stability 

of exchange, and monetary cooperation. Members are allowed 

to draw from the fund.

Intrabudgetary transactions (“Federal Fiscal Operations”)—

These occur when payment and receipt both occur within the 

budget, or when payment is made from off-budget Federal 

entities whose budget authority and outlays are excluded from 

the budget totals.

Noncompetitive tenders (“Treasury Financing Operations”)—This is a tender or bid to purchase a stated par 

amount of securities at the highest yield or discount rate 

awarded to competitive bidders for a single-price auction.

Obligations (“Federal Fiscal Operations”)—An unpaid 

commitment to acquire goods or services.

Off-budget Federal entities (“Federal Fiscal Operations”)—

Federally owned and controlled entities whose transactions are 

excluded from the budget totals under provisions of law. Their 

receipts, outlays, and surplus or deficit are not included in 

budget receipts, outlays, or deficits. Their budget authority is 

not included in totals of the budget.

Outlays (“Federal Fiscal Operations”)—Payments on 

obligations in the form of cash, checks, the issuance of bonds 

or notes, or the maturing of interest coupons.

Par value—The face value of bonds or notes, including 

interest.

Quarterly financing (“Treasury Financing Operations”)—

Treasury has historically offered packages of several 

“coupon” security issues on the 15th of February, May, 

August, and November, or on the next working day. These 

issues currently consist of a 3-year note, a 10-year note, and a 

30-year bond. Treasury sometimes offers additional amounts 

of outstanding long-term notes or bonds, rather than selling 

new security issues. (See Reopening.)

Fractional coins (USCC)—Coins minted in denominations 

of 50, 25, and 10 cents, and minor coins (5 cents and 1 cent).

Receipts (“Federal Fiscal Operations”)—Funds collected 

from selling land, capital, or services, as well as collections 

from the public (budget receipts), such as taxes, fines, duties, 

and fees.

Reopening (PDO-2)—The offer for sale of additional 

amounts of outstanding issues, rather than an entirely new 

issue. A reopened issue will always have the same maturity 

date, CUSIP-number, and interest rate as the original issue.

Special drawing rights (“Exchange Stabilization Fund,” 

ESF-1)—International assets created by IMF that serve to 

increase international liquidity and provide additional 

international reserves. SDRs may be purchased and sold 

among eligible holders through IMF. (See IMF.)

SDR allocations are the counterpart to SDRs issued by 

IMF based on members’ quotas in IMF. Although shown in 

Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF) statements as liabilities, 

they must be redeemed by ESF only in the event of 

liquidation of, or U.S. withdrawal from, the SDR department 

of IMF or cancellation of SDRs.

SDR certificates are issued to the Federal Reserve 

System against SDRs when SDRs are legalized as money. 

Proceeds of monetization are deposited into an ESF account 

at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

Spot (“Foreign Currency Positions”)—Due for receipt or 

delivery within 2 workdays.

State and local government series (SLGS) (FD-2)—Special 

nonmarketable certificates, notes, and bonds offered to State 

and local governments as a means to invest proceeds from 

their own tax-exempt financing. Interest rates and maturities 

comply with IRS arbitrage provisions. SLGS are offered in 

both time deposit and demand deposit forms. Time deposit 

certificates have maturities of up to 1 year. Notes mature in 1 

to 10 years and bonds mature in more than 10 years. Demand 

deposit securities are 1-day certificates rolled over with a rate 

adjustment daily.

Statutory debt limit (FD-6)—By Act of Congress there is a 

limit, either temporary or permanent, on the amount of public 

debt that may be outstanding. When this limit is reached, 

Treasury may not sell new debt issues until Congress 

increases or extends the limit. For a detailed listing of changes 

in the limit since 1941, see the Budget of the United States 

Government. (See debt outstanding subject to limitation.)

STRIPS (PDO-2)—Separate Trading of Registered Interest 

and Principal Securities. Long-term notes and bonds may be 

divided into principal and interest-paying components, which 

may be transferred and sold in amounts as small as $1,000. 

STRIPS are sold at auction at a minimum par amount, varying 

for each issue. The amount is an arithmetic function of the 

issue’s interest rate.
