Profile of the Economy 

[Source: Office of Macroeconomic Analysis] 

As of February 7, 2013 

Introduction 

Economic recovery in the United States continued at a 

moderate pace over the course of 2012, with real gross 

domestic product (GDP) expanding by 1.5 percent following 

a 2.0 percent increase during 2011. The economy was 

influenced by a number of factors last year, including a jump 

in energy prices early in the year, a severe drought during 

the summer that affected agricultural output, Hurricane 

Sandy in late October, the ongoing sovereign debt crisis in 

Europe, and a more general slowdown in global growth. 

However, job creation accelerated during the final quarter of 

2012. The economy has added 6.1 million private sector jobs 

since job growth resumed in early 2010, and the 

unemployment rate has declined 2.1 percentage points from 

its peak level in October 2009, but remains elevated at 7.9 

percent. Conditions in the housing sector have solidly 

improved in recent months, with a number of performance 

measures now approaching important milestones. 

The Administration has taken a number of steps in recent 

years to promote stronger economic growth, including 

several specifically targeted at the housing market. Financial 

disbursements under the American Recovery and 

Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA, or the “Recovery Act”) 

were increased from $787 billion originally to $840 billion, 

reflecting additional measures to restore financial stability, 

create jobs, and improve housing markets. A variety of tax 

breaks and credits have been created and extended in recent 

years, along with extensions of unemployment benefits, all 

with the aim of maintaining employment, consumption, and 

growth. Yet, important progress has also been made in 

reducing the government’s budget deficit in recent years. 

Early in January 2013, the American Taxpayer Relief Act 

(ATRA) was signed into law, which will reduce the deficit 

by an estimated $737 billion over the next 10 years. 

In December 2012, the Federal Reserve announced the 

provision of further monetary accommodation for the 

economy, and also implemented numerical targets for its 

policy rate guidance with reference to the unemployment 

and inflation rates. The Federal Reserve re-affirmed these 

actions at its most recent meeting in January 2013. 

Economic Growth 

Since the current expansion began in mid-2009, the 

economy has grown by about 7.5 percent and, as of the third 

quarter of 2012, real GDP was 2.4 percent above its level at 

the end of 2007, when the recession began. However, after 

13 straight quarters of growth, real GDP edged down 

slightly in the fourth quarter of last year: according to the 

advance estimate, real GDP declined 0.1 percent at an 

annual rate—the first decline, albeit very slight, since the 

second quarter of 2009—after growing by 3.1 percent in the 

third quarter of last year. The deceleration in growth since 

the third quarter reflected sharply lower defense spending, 

slower inventory growth, and a widening of the trade deficit. 

These developments offset a solid increase in consumer 

spending and strong growth of both residential investment 

and business capital spending. Consensus forecasts currently 

put real GDP growth in the first quarter of 2013 at about a 

1.6 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 

3.3 percent annual rate in the fourth quarter, more than 

double the third quarter’s 1.5 percent pace. Real personal 

consumption expenditures—which account for about 70 

percent of GDP—advanced by a 2.2 percent annual rate in 

the fourth quarter, accelerating from the 1.6 percent rise in 

the third quarter. Consumption added 1.5 percentage points 

to real GDP growth in the latest quarter. 

Residential investment—mostly residential homebuilding—

grew 15.3 percent in the fourth quarter, accelerating from a 

13.5 percent pace in the third quarter. Residential activity 

added 0.4 percentage point to fourth-quarter real GDP 

growth. For the past seven consecutive quarters, the first 

such string of advances in this sector since 2005, growth in 

residential investment has averaged nearly 11 percent per 

quarter. 

There has been noteworthy progress made in the housing 

market over the past several months, as captured by several 

measures. Single-family housing starts rose 8.1 percent in 
4 PROFILE OF THE ECONOMY 

March 2013 

December 2012 to 616,000 units at an annual rate, the 

highest level since June 2008. The level of single-family 

starts has risen nearly 75 percent from a low of 353,000 in 

March 2009, but in December 2012, it was still 66 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 nearly 9 percent over the 

past year, reaching 369,000 at an annual rate in December 

2012. Sales of existing single-family homes (94 percent of 

all home sales) increased almost 13 percent over the past 

year to 4.94 million at an annual rate in December. The 

inventory of homes available for sale continued to trend 

lower. As of December, the number of new single-family 

homes for sale was slightly above record lows (dating back 

to 1963). Relative to sales, there was a 4.9-month supply of 

new homes on the market, comparable to its long-run 

average. The inventory of existing single-family homes has 

also fallen noticeably, relative to sales. In December, there 

was a 4.4-month supply of these homes available for sale, 

down considerably from a peak of 12.1 months in June 

2010. House price measures continue to improve, with a 

number having risen on a year-over-year basis for several 

months, reflecting a pick-up in demand and, according to 

some anecdotal reports, tight inventories in some markets. 

The FHFA purchase-only house price index rose 0.6 percent 

in December and was up 5.6 percent in the year through 

December, compared with a 2.3 percent decline in the year 

through December 2011. In November 2012, the Standard & 

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

index ticked down 0.1 percent, but rose 5.5 percent yearover-year, compared with a 3.9 percent decline over the year 

ended in November 2011. Reflecting growing optimism in 

the housing market, the December 2012 Zillow Home Price 

Expectations Survey predicted that home prices will rise by 

3.1 percent in 2013, and reported that prices rose in 2012 by 

more than 4.6 percent. 

Nonresidential fixed investment—about 10 percent of 

GDP—fell 1.3 percent (annual rate) in the fourth quarter of 

2012 after rising at an annual rate of 3.6 percent in the third 

quarter. For the eight quarters of 2010 and 2011, 

nonresidential fixed investment grew at an average annual 

rate of 9.1 percent. Growth of business fixed investment 

slowed to 4.4 percent during 2012. Growth in business 

spending on equipment and software surged 12.4 percent in 

the fourth quarter after falling by 2.6 percent in the third 

quarter. Equipment and software spending grew at an 

average annual rate of 11.7 percent over the eight quarters of 

2010 and 2011, although this pace slowed to 5.0 percent for 

the most recent four quarters. Outlays for structures fell 1.1 

percent in the fourth quarter after a flat reading in the third 

quarter. Altogether, nonresidential fixed investment added 

0.8 percentage point to real GDP growth in the fourth 

quarter. Inventory accumulation made a negative 

contribution to growth in the fourth quarter, subtracting 1.3 

percentage points from real GDP growth, after adding 0.7 

percentage point in the third quarter. 

Exports account for about 12 percent of GDP, while 

imports (which are subtracted from total domestic spending 

to calculate GDP) account for about 17 percent. After 

contributing 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 percentage 

point in 2011. In the fourth quarter of 2012, the net export 

deficit widened as exports declined 5.7 percent, the first 

quarterly decline since the first quarter of 2009, more than 

offsetting a 3.2 percent decline in imports. Net exports 

subtracted 0.3 percentage point from GDP growth in the 

fourth quarter, after making 0.4 percentage point positive 

contribution in the third quarter; for 2012 as a whole, the net 

export contribution was flat. 

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 $801 

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 $442 billion (3.0 percent of 

GDP) in 2010 and to $466 billion (3.1 percent of GDP) in 

2011. Through the first three quarters of 2012, the current 

account gap averaged $479 billion (3.1 percent of GDP). 

After falling for eight straight quarters, government 

purchases—which account for roughly 20 percent of GDP—

rose in the third quarter of 2012, but then fell substantially in 

the final quarter of the year. Specifically, government 

outlays for consumption and investment fell 6.6 percent 

(after rising by 3.9 percent in the third quarter), subtracting 

1.3 percentage points from real GDP growth. Federal 

spending plunged 15 percent in the fourth quarter, 

subtracting 1.25 percentage points from real GDP growth. 

After 11 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 0.3 percent in the 

third quarter, but fell again in the fourth quarter, by 0.7 

percent, shaving 0.1 percentage point from 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 January 2013 total nonfarm payroll 

employment has grown by 5.5 million. In the private sector, 

employment has increased by 6.1 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 nearly 1.6 million, and 

leisure and hospitality industries’ employment has increased 

by 982,000 through January 2013. Manufacturing payrolls 
PROFILE OF THE ECONOMY 5 

March 2013 

have retraced somewhat in recent months, but have grown 

by 490,000 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 901,000 jobs. The 

government sector also added workers to payrolls during the 

recession, but the State and local sector has since cut 

employment considerably. Although State and local payrolls 

began adding jobs last fall, cuts have resumed in more recent 

months. From early 2010 through January 2013, State and 

local job losses numbered 526,000, including 423,000 local 

government jobs (of which 293,000 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 7.8 

percent in November 2012 before edging back up to 7.9 

percent in January 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 14.4 percent in January 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 38.1 percent in January 2013, 

its lowest level since October 2009. 

Inflation 

Headline inflation as well as core inflation (excluding 

food and energy) has moderated over the past year, and both 

remain low by historical standards. Headline consumer 

prices rose 1.7 percent over the 12 months ending in 

December 2012, slowing from the 3.0 percent increase 

during the 12 months through December 2011. Energy 

prices were up 0.5 percent in the year through December, 

slower than the 6.6 percent advance in the previous year. 

Food prices rose 1.8 percent over the year through 

December 2012, considerably less than the 4.7 percent 

advance of the previous year. On a 12-month basis, core 

consumer prices (excluding food and energy) rose 1.9 

percent through December 2012, less than the 2.2 percent 

increase in the year through December 2011. Labor market 

slack should continue to keep wage growth and core 

inflation in check for the foreseeable future. 

Energy prices fluctuated throughout 2012, but eased in 

the last months of the year, before beginning to rise again 

early in 2013. The front-month futures price of West Texas 

Intermediate (WTI) crude oil climbed to nearly $110 per 

barrel in February 2012, but averaged $95 per barrel in 

January 2013, up $7 from December 2012. The retail price 

of regular gasoline averaged $3.32 per gallon in January 

2013, down 6 cents from a year earlier, but jumped to $3.54 

per gallon in the first week of February. 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. 
6 PROFILE OF THE ECONOMY 

March 2013 

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. 

The Administration’s Fiscal Year 2013 budget proposal 

would cut the deficit to less than 3 percent of GDP by fiscal 

year 2018, and put the debt-to-GDP ratio on a declining 

path. The primary deficit—receipts less outlays, excluding 

net interest—would reach balance in fiscal year 2018, at 

which point spending would no longer add to the national 

debt. 

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 has 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 percent payroll tax cut, extensions of 

unemployment benefits and refundable tax credits, and a 2-

year extension of the 2001 tax cuts. In late December 2011, 

the 2 percentage point employee payroll tax cut, and 

extended unemployment benefits included in the 2010 tax 

legislation, were each extended for 2 additional months. In 

late February 2012, the extension of the payroll tax cut and 

extended unemployment benefits for the remainder of 2012 

were signed into law. 

Putting federal finances on a more sustainable course in a 

way that supports growth and creates jobs in the near term is 

important to both maintaining the recovery and ensuring 

stronger growth over the long term. In the Fiscal Year 2013 

Budget, the Administration proposed more than $350 billion 

in short-term job creation and growth-boosting initiatives. 

In January 2013, the American Taxpayer Relief Act 

(ATRA) was signed into law, thereby reducing the budget 

deficit by an estimated $737 billion over the next decade. 

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, and 

postponed the sequester scheduled to take effect on January 

1 for 2 months. 

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 Federal Open Market Committee 

(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 mid-2013, the timeframe was 

extended to “at least late 2014” at the January 2012 FOMC 

meeting, and then to “at least mid-2015” 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 January 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 
PROFILE OF THE ECONOMY 7 

March 2013 

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 

so-called “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 

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. The FOMC 

affirmed its existing policy of reinvesting principal 

payments. At the January 2013 meeting, the FOMC reaffirmed these arrangements, which means that 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 

markets in Europe. These concerns persisted in 2012, and 

expanded to include uncertainty about the U.S. fiscal 

situation. Nonetheless, financial conditions in general 

continue to improve. Credit flows have increased 

substantially since early 2009, although credit conditions in 

some markets remain relatively tight. Bank lending 

conditions have eased in standards and terms, and demand 

for business, mortgage, and consumer loans has increased. In 

particular, demand for commercial and industrial loans 

among large, middle-market, and small firms increased 

notably in the final quarter of 2012. After some deterioration 

in the summer of 2011, measures of risk tolerance and 

volatility have stabilized or 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 is up about 6 percent. The S&P 

Stock Market Volatility Index (VIX), often used as a 

measure of financial market uncertainty, surged to an alltime 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 14 as of early February 2013. 

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 has since trended 

lower, reaching a record low of 1.43 percent in late July 

2012. As of early February, the yield has climbed back 

above 2 percent. 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 February 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 midNovember 2012. Since then, the spread has widened a bit, to 

just under 180 basis points as of early February 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 February 

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, it 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 
8 PROFILE OF THE ECONOMY 

March 2013 

spread stood at 284 basis points as of early February 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; as of early 

February 2013, the rate had risen to 3.53 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 has depreciated significantly since then. 

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 January 2013 by 6.5 

percent. Over the longer timeframe, the dollar depreciated 

by about 42 percent against the yen and by 34.5 percent 

against the euro. In the period since August 2011 through 

January 2013, the dollar has appreciated by nearly 16 

percent against the yen and by almost 8 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 2 percent against this basket between 

August 2011 and January 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 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.

First-Quarter Receipts 

The following capsule analysis of budget 

receipts, by source, for the first quarter of fiscal 

year 2013 supplements fiscal data reported in the 

December 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 $312.4 billion for the first 

quarter of fiscal year 2013. This is an increase of $42.0 

billion over the comparable prior year quarter. Withheld 

receipts increased by $43.6 billion and non-withheld receipts 

decreased by $0.9 billion during this period. Refunds 

increased by $0.6 billion over the comparable fiscal year 

2012 quarter. There was an increase of $0.7 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 $62.5 billion for the first quarter of fiscal year 

2013. This is an increase of $6.9 billion compared to the 

prior year first quarter. The $6.9 billion change is comprised 

of an increase of $6.3 billion in estimated and final 

payments, and a decrease of $0.6 billion in corporate 

refunds. 

Employment taxes and contributions—Employment 

taxes and contributions receipts for the first quarter of fiscal 

year 2013 were $172.1 billion, an increase of $4.4 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 $2.9 billion, $0.5 billion, and $0.9 billion 

respectively. There was a -$8.4 billion accounting 

adjustment for prior years employment tax liabilities made 

in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, while there was a 

-$7.7 billion adjustment in the first quarter of fiscal year 

2012. 

Unemployment insurance—Unemployment insurance 

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

2013 were $8.2 billion, a decrease of $3.1 billion over the 

comparable quarter of fiscal year 2012. Net State taxes 

deposited in the U.S. Treasury decreased by $3.1 billion to 

$7.6 billion. Net Federal Unemployment Tax Act taxes did 

not change significantly from $0.6 billion.

Contributions for other insurance and retirement—

Contributions for other retirement were $0.9 billion for the 

first 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 first quarter 

of fiscal year 2013 were $20.1 billion, an increase of $2.3 

billion over the comparable prior year quarter. Total excise tax 

refunds for the quarter were $0.4 billion, a decrease of $0.2 

billion over the comparable prior year quarter. 

Estate and gift taxes—Net estate and gift tax receipts 

were $3.2 billion for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. 

These receipts represent an increase of $0.2 billion over the 

same quarter in fiscal year 2012. 

Customs duties—Customs duties net of refunds were 

$8.1 billion for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. This is 

an increase of $0.4 billion over the comparable prior year 

quarter. 

Miscellaneous receipts—Net miscellaneous receipts 

for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 were $28.0 billion, an 

increase of $7.0 billion over the comparable prior year 

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

Federal Reserve banks increasing by $6.0 billion.

INTRODUCTION: Source and Availability of the 

Balance in the Account of the U.S. Treasury

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

cash is maintained in accounts with the Federal Reserve 

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

accounts in other financial institutions. Major information 

sources include FRBs, Treasury Regional Financial Centers, 

Internal Revenue Service Centers, Bureau of the Public 

Debt, and various electronic systems. As the FRB accounts 

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

of tax and loan accounts at financial institutions throughout 

the country. 

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

United States Code 323), Treasury implemented a program 

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

cash in obligations of depositaries maintaining tax and loan 

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

investment program, depositary financial institutions select 

the manner in which they will participate. Financial 

institutions wishing to retain funds deposited into their tax 

and loan accounts in interest-bearing obligations can 

participate. The program permits Treasury to collect funds 

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

depositaries and in the financial communities in which they 

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

way, Treasury is able to neutralize the effect of its 

fluctuating operations on TT&L financial institution reserves 

and on the economy. Likewise, those institutions wishing to 

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

collector depositaries. 

Deposits to tax and loan accounts occur as customers of 

financial institutions deposit tax payments that the financial 

institutions use to purchase Government securities. In most 

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

account to the tax and loan account in the same financial 

institution. Also, Treasury can direct the FRBs to invest 

excess funds in tax and loan accounts directly from the 

Treasury account at the FRBs.

INTRODUCTION: Federal Debt 

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

most of the Federal debt, with securities issued by other 

Federal agencies accounting for the rest. Tables in this 

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

detailed information is published in the “Monthly Statement 

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

information on agency securities and on investments of 

Federal Government accounts in Federal securities is 

published in the “Monthly Treasury Statement of Receipts 

and Outlays of the United States Government.” 

Treasury’s Financial Management Service (FMS) 

compiles data in the “Treasury Bulletin” tables FD-2 and 

FD-6 from the “Monthly Statement of the Public Debt of the 

United States.” 

 Table FD-1 summarizes the Federal debt by listing 

public debt and agency securities held by the public, 

including the Federal Reserve. It also includes debt held by 

Federal agencies, largely by the Social Security and other 

Federal retirement trust funds. The net unamortized 

premium and discount also are listed by total Federal 

securities, securities held by Government accounts and 

securities held by the public. The difference between the 

outstanding face value of the Federal debt and the net 

unamortized premium and discount is classified as the 

accrual amount. (For greater detail on holdings of Federal 

securities by particular classes of investors, see the 

ownership tables, OFS-1 and OFS-2.) 

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

and nonmarketable, the total public debt securities 

outstanding that are held by the public. 

 In table FD-3, nonmarketable Treasury securities 

held by U.S. Government accounts are summarized by 

issues to particular funds within Government. Many of the 

funds invest in par value special series nonmarketables at 

interest rates determined by law. Others invest in marketbased special Treasury securities whose terms mirror those 

of marketable securities. 

 Table FD-4 presents interest-bearing securities 

issued by Government agencies. Federal agency borrowing 

has declined in recent years, in part because the Federal 

Financing Bank has provided financing to other Federal 

agencies. (Federal agency borrowing from Treasury is 

presented in the “Monthly Treasury Statement of Receipts 

and Outlays of the United States Government.”) 

 Table FD-5 illustrates the average length of 

marketable interest-bearing public debt held by private 

investors and the maturity distribution of that debt. 

In March 1971, Congress enacted a limited exception to 

the amount of bonds with rates greater than 4-1/4 percent 

that could be held by the public. This permitted Treasury to 

offer securities maturing in more than 7 years at current 

market interest rates for the first time since 1965. In March 

1976, the definition of a bond was changed to include those 

securities longer than 10 years to maturity. This exception 

has expanded since 1971, authorizing Treasury to continue 

to issue long-term securities. The ceiling on Treasury bonds 

was repealed on November 10, 1988. 

The volume of privately held Treasury marketable 

securities by maturity class reflects the remaining period to 

maturity of Treasury bills, notes and bonds. The average 

length is comprised of an average of remaining periods to 

maturity, weighted by the amount of each security held by 

private investors. In other words, computations of average 

length exclude Government accounts and the FRBs. 

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

outstanding debt subject to limitation by law. The other debt 

category includes Federal debt Congress has designated as 

being subject to the debt ceiling. 

 Table FD-7 details Treasury holdings of securities 

issued by Government corporations and other agencies. 

Certain Federal agencies are authorized to borrow money 

from the Treasury, largely to finance direct loan programs. 

In addition, agencies such as the Bonneville Power 

Administration are authorized to borrow from the Treasury 

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

loans by selling Treasury securities to the public.

INTRODUCTION: 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 

Public Debt revised formats, titles, and column headings in 

the “Monthly Statement of the Public Debt of the United 

States,” Table I: Summary of Treasury Securities 

Outstanding and Table II: Statutory Debt Limit. These 

changes should reduce confusion and bring the publication 

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

Treasury’s Financial Management Service (FMS) 

compiles data in the “Treasury Bulletin” table OFS-1 from 

the “Monthly Statement of the Public Debt of the United 

States.” Effective June 2001, FMS revised procedures and 

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

Debt’s publication changes. 

 Table OFS-1 presents Treasury marketable and 

nonmarketable securities and debt issued by other Federal 

agencies held by Government accounts, the FRBs, and 

private investors. Social Security and Federal retirement 

trust fund investments comprise much of the Government 

account holdings. 

The FRBs acquire Treasury securities in the market as a 

means of executing monetary policy. 

 Table OFS-2 presents the estimated 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.

1

 Beginning July 1974, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) adopted a technique for 

valuing the special drawing right (SDR) based on a weighted average of exchange rates for 

the currencies of selected member countries. The U.S. SDR holdings and reserve position 

in the IMF also are valued on this basis beginning July 1974. 

2

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

4

 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-December 2012, swaps outstanding were $8.90 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 

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. 

Basic definitions 

The term “foreigner” as used in TIC reporting covers all 

institutions and individuals resident outside the United 

States, including: U.S. citizens domiciled abroad; the foreign 

branches, subsidiaries and offices of U.S. banks and business 

concerns; the central governments, central banks, and other 

official institutions of foreign countries, wherever located; 

and international and regional organizations, wherever 

located. The term “foreigner” also includes persons in the 

United States to the extent that they are known by reporting 

institutions to be acting on behalf of foreigners.

In general, information is reported opposite the country or 

geographical area where the foreigner is located, as shown on 

records of reporting institutions. This information may not 

always reflect the ultimate ownership of assets. Reporting 

institutions are not required to go beyond addresses shown on 

their records and may not be aware of the actual country of 

domicile of the ultimate beneficiary. 

Transactions with branches or agencies of foreign official 

institutions, wherever located, are reported opposite the 

country that has sovereignty over the institutions. Transactions 

with international and regional organizations are not reported 

opposite any single country, but are accounted for in regional 

groupings of such organizations. 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. 

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 

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 

C-series forms. Dollar-denominated liabilities are reported 

monthly on Forms BL-1 and BL-2. Liabilities denominated 

in foreign currencies are reported quarterly on Form BQ-2. 

Respondents report certain of their own liabilities and a wide 

range of their custody liabilities to foreigners. Effective with 

reports filed as of February 28, 2003, coverage was 

broadened to cover the positions of U.S. broker-dealer 

respondents with their affiliated foreign offices. (Depository 

institutions and BHCs/FHCs already reported such 

positions.) The scope of the reports was also extended to 

include cross-border brokerage balances as well as offshore 

sweep accounts and loans to U.S. residents in “managed” 

foreign offices of U.S. reporting institutions. Additionally, in 

a new Part 2, Form BQ-2 was expanded to include the 

foreign currency-denominated liabilities held by respondents 

for their domestic customers. Further, banks’ own positions 

have been defined to be consistent with regulatory reports 

such as the FR 2950/2951 to include all amounts in the 

respondent’s “due to/due from” accounts, unless in an 

instrument that is specifically excluded. Finally, the columns 

for demand deposits and non-transactions accounts are now 

combined, as are short-term U.S. agency securities and other 

negotiable and readily transferable instruments. 

 Section II presents claims on foreigners reported 

by banks, other depository institutions, and securities 

brokers and dealers in the United States. BHCs/FHCs also 

report for their domestic nonbank and non-securities firm 

affiliates, other than their insurance affiliates, which report 
CAPITAL MOVEMENTS 

March 2013 

52 

separately on the C-series forms. Data on respondents’ own 

dollar claims are collected monthly on Form BC. 

Information on claims held for domestic customers as well 

as on claims denominated in foreign currencies is collected 

on a quarterly basis only on Forms BQ-1 and BQ-2, 

respectively. Effective with reports filed as of February 28, 

2003, reporting coverage was expanded as outlined in 

Section I. Additionally, columns were added for separate 

reporting of negotiable CDs and other short-term negotiable 

instruments issued by foreigners. Further, the foreigner 

category, “foreign official institutions,” replaced the former, 

broader category, “foreign public borrowers,” for 

consistency with the liabilities reporting on this sector. 

 Section III (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 

end-March 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. 

 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 

exchange-traded 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.

U.S. liabilities to foreigners reported by U.S. banks were recorded at $4.5 trillion in December 2012, a 

decrease of $382 billion from year-end 2011. U.S. banking liabilities include foreign holdings of U.S. shortterm securities but exclude foreign holdings of U.S. long-term securities. U.S. banking liabilities decreased 

about $427 billion in 2009 but increased about $131 billion in 2010 and $314 billion in 2011. 

U.S. banking liabilities are concentrated in international financial centers. The data on this page show that 

about 55 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 September 2012, U.S. claims on foreigners reported by U.S. banks amounted to $3.9 trillion, a decrease of 

$355 billion from that recorded at yearend 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 $276 billion in 2011. 

As with U.S. banking liabilities, U.S. banking claims on foreigners are concentrated in international financial 

centers. Nearly 60 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 all other Europe, and claims on the 

U.K. turned down in the first three quarters of 2012. 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 the 

third quarter of 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 over $8 billion in 

2010, but again slowed during 2011 to $1.3 billion. Stock swaps rose in 2012 to $11 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 assetbacked 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, and $232 billion in 2012. 

After including stock swaps and accounting for ABS repayment flows, net foreign purchases totaled $436 billion in 2009. The 

pace of acquisition picked up in 2010, when foreign net purchases were recorded at $685 billion. The pace of acquisitions slowed 

considerably in both 2011 and again in 2012, with net foreign purchases recorded at $331 billion in 2011, and $326 billion in 2012.

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 $7 billion in 2008, $2 billion in 2009, $12 billion in 2010, 

and $10 billion in 2011. There are no reported stock swaps in 2012. (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 sales of long-term foreign securities amounted to $67 

billion in 2008, but U.S. investors switched to net purchases of foreign securities in 2009 with acquisitions of $189 

billion. Net purchases slowed in 2010 to $127 billion but picked up slightly in 2011 to $135 billion. In 2012, U.S. 

investors’ net purchases slowed again to $28 billion in foreign securities.

INTRODUCTION: Foreign Currency Positions

The “Treasury Bulletin” reports foreign currency 

holdings of large foreign exchange market participants. 

These reports provide information on positions in derivative 

instruments, such as foreign exchange futures and options 

that are increasingly used in establishing foreign exchange 

positions but were not covered in the old reports. 

The information is based on reports of large foreign 

exchange market participants on holdings of five major 

foreign currencies (Canadian dollar, Japanese yen, Swiss 

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

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

January 1999, are intended to approximate “all other” 

currency positions of reporting institutions. U.S.-based 

businesses file a consolidated report for their domestic and 

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

subsidiaries of foreign entities file only for themselves, not 

for their foreign parents. Filing is required by law (31 United 

States Code 5315; 31 Code of Federal Regulations 128, 

Subpart C). 

Weekly and monthly reports must be filed throughout the 

calendar year by major foreign exchange market 

participants, which are defined as market participants with 

more than $50 billion equivalent in foreign exchange 

contracts on the last business day of any calendar quarter 

during the previous year (end March, June, September, or 

December). Such contracts include the amounts of foreign 

exchange spot contracts bought and sold, foreign exchange 

forward contracts bought and sold, foreign exchange futures 

bought and sold, and one half the notional amount of foreign 

exchange options bought and sold. 

A quarterly report must be filed throughout the calendar 

year by each foreign exchange market participant that had 

more than $5 billion equivalent in foreign exchange 

contracts on the last business day of any quarter the previous 

year (end March, June, September, or December). 

This information is published in six sections 

corresponding to each of the major currencies covered by the 

reports. Tables I-1 through VI-1 present the currency data 

reported weekly by major market participants. Tables I-2 

through VI-2 present more detailed currency data of major 

market participants, based on monthly 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: Financial Report of the United States Government

The following pages are excerpted from the 2012 

Financial Report of the United States Government (Financial 

Report). The report and accompanying information, prepared 

and published annually by the Financial Management Service, 

are modeled after corporate-type reports and are developed on 

an accrual basis of accounting. 

The excerpts represent some of the most noteworthy 

information contained in the Financial Report. Data for the 

Financial Report are compiled from Federal program agency 

accounting systems Governmentwide. Treasury also presents 

a management discussion and analysis, the customary notes 

to the financial statements, a section on stewardship 

information, and supplemental information in the complete 

document. 

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) is 

required by law to audit the Financial Report. GAO’s report, 

as well as the complete Financial Report, can be accessed 

easily through the internet at www.fms.treas.gov/fr.

Financial Statements 

of the United States Government 

for the Years Ended September 30, 2012, 

and 2011 

Statements of Net Cost 

These statements present the net cost of fiscal years 2012 and 2011 United States Government (Government) 1

operations, including the operations related to earmarked funds (funds financed by specifically identified revenues, 

often supplemented by other financing sources, which remain available over time). The Government’s fiscal year 

begins October 1 and ends September 30. Costs and earned revenues are categorized on the Statement of Net Cost 

by significant entity, providing greater accountability by showing the relationship of the agencies’ net cost to the 

Governmentwide net cost. Costs and earned revenues are presented in this report by department on an accrual basis, 

while the budget presents costs and revenues by obligations and receipts, generally on a cash basis. The focus of the 

budget of the United States is by agency. Budgets are prepared, defended, and monitored by agency. In reporting by 

agency, we are assisting the external users in assessing the budget integrity, operating performance, stewardship, and 

systems and controls of the Government. 

These statements contain the following four components: 

 Gross cost—is the full cost of all the departments and entities excluding (gain)/loss from changes in 

assumptions. These costs are assigned on a cause-and-effect basis, or reasonably allocated to the 

corresponding departments and entities. 

 Earned revenue—is exchange revenue resulting from the Government providing goods and services to the 

public at a price. 

 (Gain)/loss from changes in assumptions—is the loss or gain from changes in long-term assumptions used 

to measure the liabilities reported for Federal civilian and military employee pensions, other postemployment benefits, and other retirement benefits, including veterans’ compensation. 

 Net cost—is computed by subtracting earned revenue from gross cost, adjusted by the (gain)/loss from 

changes in assumptions. 

Individual agency net cost amounts will differ with the agency’s financial statements because of allocations of 

certain Office of Personnel Management (OPM) costs and intragovernmental eliminations. Because of their specific 

function, most of the costs originally associated with OPM have been allocated to their user agencies for 

Governmentwide reporting purposes. The remaining costs for OPM on the Statements of Net Cost are the 

administrative operating costs, the expenses from prior and past costs from health and pension plan amendments, 

and the actuarial gains and losses, if applicable. The interest on securities issued by the Department of the Treasury 

(Treasury) and held by the public is reported on Treasury’s financial statements, but, because of its importance and 

the dollar amounts involved, it is reported separately in these statements.

Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Position 

These statements report the results of Government operations, which include the results of operations for 

earmarked funds. They include non-exchange revenues that are generated principally by the Government’s 

sovereign power to tax, levy duties, and assess fines and penalties. These statements also present the cost of 

Government operations, net of revenue earned from the sale of goods and services to the public (exchange revenue). 

They further include certain adjustments and unreconciled transactions that affect the net position. 

Revenue 

Individual income tax and tax withholdings include Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA)/SelfEmployment Contributions Act (SECA) taxes and other taxes. These taxes are characterized as non-exchange 

revenue. 

Excise taxes consist of taxes collected for various items, such as airline tickets, gasoline products, distilled 

spirits and imported liquor, tobacco, firearms, and others. These also are characterized as non-exchange revenue. 

Other taxes and receipts include Federal Reserve banks (FRBs) earnings, tax related fines, penalties and 

interest, and railroad retirement taxes. 

Miscellaneous earned revenues consist of earned revenues received from the public with virtually no 

associated cost. These revenues include rents and royalties on the Outer Continental Shelf Lands resulting from the 

leasing and development of mineral resources on public lands. 

Earmarked revenues are required by statute to be used for designated activities, benefits or purposes and must 

be accounted for separately from the rest of the Government’s non-earmarked revenues. See Note 24—Earmarked 

Funds for detailed information. 

Intragovernmental interest represents interest earned from the investment of surplus earmarked revenues, 

which finance the deficit spending of non-earmarked operations. These investments are recorded as 

intragovernmental debt holdings and are included in Note 14—Federal Debt Securities Held by the Public and 

Accrued Interest, in the table titled Intragovernmental Debt Holdings: Federal Debt Securities Held as Investments 

by Government Accounts. These interest payments and the associated investments are eliminated in the 

consolidation process. 

Net Cost of Government Operations 

The net cost of Government operations (gross cost [including (gains)/losses from changes in assumptions] less 

earned revenue) flows through from the Statements of Net Cost. The net cost associated with earmarked activities is 

separately reported. 

Intragovernmental Transfers 

Intragovernmental transfers reflect amounts required by statute to be transferred from the General Fund of the 

Treasury to earmarked funds. An example is the annual transfer to the Department of Health and Human Services’ 

(HHS) Supplementary Medical Insurance Trust Fund (Medicare Parts B and D) which receives approximately 75 

percent and 74 percent, respectively, of its funding from the General Fund.

108 

Unmatched Transactions and Balances 

Unmatched transactions and balances are adjustments needed to bring the change in net position into balance 

due to unreconciled intragovernmental differences, agency reporting errors, timing differences, and General Fund 

transactions in the consolidated financial statements. See Note 1.T—Unmatched Transactions and Balances for 

detailed information. 

Net Position, Beginning of Period 

The net position, beginning of period, reflects the net position reported on the prior year’s balance sheet as of 

the end of that fiscal year. The net position for earmarked funds is shown separately. 

Prior-period adjustments are revisions to adjust the beginning net position and balances presented on the prior 

year financial statements due to corrections of errors or changes in accounting principles. See Note 21—Prior Period 

Adjustments for detailed information. 

Net Position, End of Period 

The net position, end of period, amount reflects the net position as of the end of the fiscal year. The net 

position for earmarked funds is separately shown. 

Reconciliations of Net Operating Cost and Unified Budget 

Deficit 

These statements reconcile the results of operations (net operating cost) on the Statements of Operations and 

Changes in Net Position to the unified budget deficit. The premise of the reconciliation is that the accrual and 

budgetary accounting bases share transaction data. 

Receipts and outlays in the budget are measured primarily on a cash basis and differ from the accrual basis of 

accounting used in the Financial Report. Refer to Note 1.B—Basis of Accounting and Revenue Recognition for 

details. These statements begin with the net results of operations (net operating cost), where operating revenues are 

reported on a modified cash basis of accounting and the net cost of Government operations on an accrual basis of 

accounting and reports activities where the bases of accounting for the components of net operating cost and the 

unified budget deficit differ. 

Components of Net Operating Cost Not Part of the 

Budget Deficit 

This information includes the operating components, such as the changes in benefits payable for veterans, 

military and civilian employees, the environmental liabilities, and depreciation expense, not included in the 

budget results. 
FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, EXCERPT 

March 2013 

109

Components of the Budget Deficit Not Part of 

Net Operating Cost 

This information includes the budget components, such as capitalized fixed assets that are recorded as outlays 

in the budget when purchased and reflected in net operating cost through depreciation expense over the useful life of 

the asset, and increases in other assets, that are not included in the operating results. 

Statements of Changes in Cash Balance from Unified 

Budget and Other Activities 

The primary purpose of these statements is to report how the annual unified budget deficit relates to the change 

in the Government’s cash and other monetary assets and debt held by the public. It explains why the unified budget 

deficit normally would not result in an equivalent change in the Government’s cash and other monetary assets. 

These statements reconcile the unified budget deficit to the change in cash and other monetary assets during 

the fiscal year and explain how the budget deficits were financed. A budget deficit is the result of outlays 

(expenditures) exceeding receipts (revenue) during a particular fiscal year. 

The budget deficit is financed through borrowings from the public. Other transactions such as the payment 

of interest on debt held by the public also require cash disbursements and are not part of the deficit. The budget 

deficit also includes certain amounts that are recognized in the budget and will be disbursed in a future period or 

are adjustments that did not affect the cash balance. These amounts include interest accrued on debt issued by 

Treasury and held by the public and subsidy expense related to direct and guaranteed loans as well as equity 

investment activity and did not contribute to the change in the cash balance. 

These statements show the adjustments for noncash outlays included in the budget and items affecting the cash 

balance not included in the budget to explain the change in cash and other monetary assets.

Balance Sheets 

The balance sheets show the Government’s assets, liabilities, and net position. When combined with 

stewardship information, this information presents a more comprehensive understanding of the Government’s 

financial position. The net position for earmarked funds is shown separately. 

Assets 

Assets included on the balance sheets are resources of the Government that remain available to meet future 

needs. The most significant assets that are reported on the balance sheets are loans receivable and mortgage-backed 

securities, net; property, plant, and equipment (PP&E), net; inventories and related property, net; and cash and other 

monetary assets. There are, however, other significant resources available to the Government that extend beyond the 

assets presented in these balance sheets. Those resources include the Government’s sovereign powers to tax, and set 

monetary policy. 

Liabilities and Net Position 

Liabilities are obligations of the Government resulting from prior actions that will require financial resources. 

The most significant liabilities reported on the balance sheets are Federal debt securities held by the public and 

accrued interest and Federal employee and veteran benefits payable. Liabilities also include environmental and 

disposal liabilities, liabilities to Government-Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs), benefits due and payable, and insurance 

and guarantee program liabilities. 
FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, EXCERPT

As with reported assets, the Government’s responsibilities, policy commitments, and contingencies are much 

broader than these reported balance sheet liabilities. They include the social insurance programs reported in the 

Statements of Social Insurance and disclosed in the Required Supplementary Information—Social Insurance section, 

the fiscal long-term projections of non-interest spending disclosed in the Required Supplementary Information—

Statement of Fiscal Projections for the United States Government (U.S. Government) section, and a wide range of 

other programs under which the Government provides benefits and services to the people of this Nation, as well as 

certain future loss contingencies. 

The Government has entered into contractual commitments requiring the future use of financial resources and 

has unresolved contingencies where existing conditions, situations, or circumstances create uncertainty about future 

losses. Commitments, as well as contingencies that do not meet the criteria for recognition as liabilities on the 

balance sheets, but for which there is at least a reasonable possibility that losses have been incurred, are disclosed in 

Note 22—Contingencies and Note 23—Commitments. 

The collection of earmarked taxes and other earmarked revenue is credited to the corresponding Earmarked 

Fund that will use these funds to meet a particular Government purpose. If the collections from taxes and other 

sources exceed the payments to the beneficiaries, the excess revenue is invested in Treasury securities or “loaned” to 

Treasury’s General Fund; therefore, the trust fund balances do not represent cash. An explanation of the trust funds 

for social insurance and many of the other large trust funds is included in Note 24—Earmarked Funds. That note 

also contains information about trust fund receipts, disbursements, and assets. 

Because of its sovereign power to tax and borrow, and the country’s wide economic base, the Government has 

unique access to financial resources through generating tax revenues and issuing Federal debt securities. This 

provides the Government with the ability to meet present obligations and those that are anticipated from future 

operations and are not reflected in net position. 

The net position is the residual difference between assets and liabilities and is the cumulative results of 

operations since inception. For detailed components that comprise the net position, refer to the section “Statement of 

Operations and Changes in Net Position.” 

Statements of Social Insurance and Changes in Social 

Insurance Amounts 

The Statements of Social Insurance provide estimates of the status of the most significant social insurance 

programs: Social Security, Medicare, Railroad Retirement, and Black Lung social insurance programs. They are 

administered by the Social Security Administration (SSA), HHS, the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB), and the 

Department of Labor (DOL), respectively. The estimates are actuarial present values 2

 of the projections and are 

based on the economic and demographic assumptions representing the trustees’ reasonable estimates as set forth in 

the relevant Social Security and Medicare trustees’ reports and in the agency financial report of HHS and DOL 

(Black Lung) and in the relevant agency performance and accountability reports for the SSA and RRB. The 

projections are based on the continuation of program provisions contained in current law. 

The magnitude and complexity of social insurance programs, coupled with the extreme sensitivity of 

projections relating to the many assumptions of the programs, produce a wide range of possible results. In preparing 

the Statements of Social Insurance, Government management considers and selects assumptions and data that it 

believes provide a reasonable basis for the assertions in the statements. However, because of the large number of 

factors that affect the Statements of Social Insurance and the fact that such assumptions are inherently subject to 

substantial uncertainty (arising from the likelihood of future events, significant uncertainties, and contingencies), 

there will be differences between the estimates in the Statements of Social Insurance and the actual results, and those 

differences may be material. Note 26—Social Insurance describes the social insurance programs, reports long-range 

estimates that can be used to assess the financial condition of the programs, and explains some of the factors that 

impact the various programs. The Statements of Changes in Social Insurance Amounts reconcile the change between 

the current valuation period and the prior valuation period. 

 

2

 Present values recognize that a dollar paid or collected in the future is worth less than a dollar today, because a dollar today could be invested 

and earn interest. To calculate a present value, future amounts are thus reduced using an assumed interest rate, and those reduced amounts are 

summed.

Insurance Trust Fund. These future intragovernmental transfers are included as income in both HHS’ and the Centers for Medicare & 

Medicaid Services’ Financial Reports but are not income from the Governmentwide perspective of this report. 7 These amounts approximate the present value of the future financial interchange and the future advances from the General Fund of the 

Treasury to the Social Security Equivalent Benefit Account and future repayments from the Social Security Equivalent Benefit Account to 

the General Fund (see discussion of Railroad Retirement Program in the unaudited required supplementary information section of this 

report). They are included as income in the Railroad Retirement Financial Report but are not income from the Governmentwide 

perspective of this report.

years of age at the start of the projection period, and are participating as either taxpayers, beneficiaries, or both.

Glossary 

With References to Applicable Sections and Tables 

Source: Financial Management 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 December 2012, the 

debt limit was $16,394,000 million; the limit may change 

from year to year. 

The debt subject to limitation includes most of 

Treasury’s public debt except securities issued to the Federal 

Financing Bank, upon which there is a limitation of $15 

billion, and certain categories of older debt (totaling 

approximately $595 million as of February 1991). 

Discount—The interest deducted in advance when purchasing 

notes or bonds. (See Accrued discount.) 

Discount rate (PDO-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 

other affiliates abroad of U.S. banks and business concerns; 

central governments, central banks, and other official 

institutions of countries other than the United States; and 
GLOSSARY 

March 2013 

126

international and regional organizations, wherever located. 

Also refers to persons in the United States to the extent that 

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 

of a treasury, central bank, or stabilization fund; diplomatic 

and consular establishments of foreign national governments; 

and any international or regional organization, including 

subordinate and affiliate agencies, created by treaty or 

convention between sovereign states. 

Foreign public borrower (“Capital Movements”)—Includes 

foreign official institutions, as defined above, the corporations 

and agencies of foreign central governments, including 

development banks and institutions, and other agencies that 

are majority-owned by the central government or its 

departments; and state provincial and local governments of 

foreign countries and their departments and agencies. 

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

the IMF promotes international trade, stability of exchange, 

and monetary cooperation. Members are allowed to draw 

from the fund.

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 

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,” 

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.)

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.

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.
