Profile of the Economy 

[Source: Office of Macroeconomic Analysis] 

Real gross domestic product 

The economy rebounded strongly in the second quarter 

of 2007, after a lackluster performance in the first quarter. 

Business investment picked up, particularly outlays for 

structures, the net export deficit narrowed, and Federal 

defense spending rebounded. Inventories also contributed 

slightly to growth as businesses rebuilt depleted inventories 

from the first quarter. Continued weakness in residential 

building and slowing growth of consumer spending offset 

some of the second quarter gains. The pattern of spending in 

the second quarter, with the strength in net exports and 

nonresidential investment in structures, but slower consumer 

spending, suggests some change of leadership in the engine 

driving growth. 

July’s advance estimate of real gross domestic product 

(GDP) reported an acceleration of annualized growth to 3.4 

percent in the second quarter of 2007, following a 0.6 

percent gain in the first quarter of the year. Consumer 

spending slowed in the second quarter to a 1.3 percent 

annual rate from a 3.7 percent gain in the first quarter. 

Reduced spending on nondurable goods was mainly 

responsible, declining 0.8 percent from the first quarter. 

Residential investment declined 9.3 percent at an annual 

rate, down from the 16.3 percent reduction in the first 

quarter. Investment in business equipment and software 

rebounded to a 2.3 percent annual rate contributing an 

additional 0.2 percentage point to real growth. Average 

growth for the previous four quarters for this volatile series 

was -0.5 percent. Nonresidential investment in structures 

rose 22.1 percent in the second quarter and was up an 

average of 10.3 percent over the previous four quarters.

Business inventory investment turned up slightly (inventory 

accumulation was negative in the first quarter) adding 0.2 

percentage point to second quarter GDP growth. 

The net export deficit on trade in goods and services 

narrowed $34.2 billion in real terms in the second quarter, 

driven by export growth and a decline in imports, adding 1.2 

percentage points to GDP growth. Real exports of goods and 

services increased 6.4 percent, while real imports of goods 

and services decreased 2.6 percent. 

Growth in Federal spending increased 6.7 percent in the 

second quarter, largely the result of a 9.5 percent rebound in 

national defense spending which had previously decreased 

10.8 percent in the first quarter. Higher Federal spending 

added 0.5 percentage point to GDP growth, while state and 

local outlays added 0.4 percentage point. 

Each July, the Bureau of Economic Analysis revises the 

National Income and Product Accounts for the previous 

three years. This year, annual average real GDP growth was 

revised down by 0.3 percentage point from 2004 to 2006 to a 

still solid 3.2 percent. Growth for the four quarters of 2006 

was revised down from 3.1 percent to 2.6 percent, with 

notable downward revisions to consumer spending, 

inventories, and business spending on equipment and 

software.

Inflation 

Headline inflation continued to be volatile in the second 

quarter of 2007, but underlying inflation pressure, measured 

by consumer prices excluding food and energy (the “core” 

consumer price index (CPI)) remained modest. Fluctuations 

in energy prices have been the key factor behind changes in 

the overall inflation rate over the past several months. In the 

12 months through June 2007, the CPI increased 2.7 percent, 

slower than the 4.3 percent rate for the previous 12 months. 

More recently, in the 6 months through June 2007, the CPI 

rose 5.0 percent at an annual rate, much higher than the 

annual rates of 3.4 percent in 2005 and 3.2 percent in 2006. 

Energy prices rose in the second quarter of 2007, up 10.3 

percent on a quarter-over-quarter basis, following a 3.8 

percent increase in the first quarter. Gasoline prices led the 

way jumping 19.4 percent in the second quarter on a 

quarterly basis following a 4.7 percent rise in the first 

quarter of 2007. Gasoline prices began to retreat in the early 

part of the third quarter of 2007 and fell to $2.82 per gallon 

in mid-August after hitting a high of $3.26 per gallon in 

mid-May. 

Food prices have also increased, rising 1.3 percent in 

each of the first two quarters of 2007 after quarterly 

increases in 2006 ranging from 0.3 to 0.8 percent. 

Despite the increases in energy and food prices, growth 

in the core consumer price index – which some think is a 

better measure of the underlying inflation trend – has been 

modest. Core prices rose 2.2 percent in the 12 months 

through June 2007, slower than the 2.6 percent increase of a 

year earlier. Over the last 6 months (through June 2007), 

core inflation was 2.3 percent. 

Movements in producer prices broadly followed 

consumer price trends. The producer price index (PPI) for 

finished goods was up 3.3 percent in the 12 months through 

June 2007, after rising 4.9 percent in the previous 12 month 

period. Although finished energy goods at the producer level 

increased 4.8 percent in the second quarter of 2007 on a 

quarter-over-quarter basis, the rise followed two consecutive 

quarterly declines. The core PPI (finished goods less food 

and energy) was up 1.8 percent in the 12 months through 

June 2007, about in line with its year-earlier increase of 1.7 

percent.

Employment and unemployment 

The labor market remained firm in the first half of 2007. 

The pace of job creation slowed a bit compared to 2006, but 

generally remained solid, and the unemployment rate 

hovered near a 6-year low. Workers continued to accrue real 

wage gains although earnings growth eased somewhat due to 

a pickup in inflation. 

Nonfarm payroll employment rose by 92,000 in July 

following a 126,000 increase in June. Job growth in the 

latest month was restrained by a large drop in Government 

employment. Private sector hiring resulted in 120,000 new 

jobs in July. In the first 7 months of 2007, nearly 1 million 

jobs were created, bringing total job growth since the August 

2003 employment trough to 8.3 million. Hiring in health 

care, leisure and hospitality, and professional and business 

services was particularly strong in the first 7 months of 

2007. Job growth in those industries was only partially offset 

by ongoing job losses in the manufacturing sector and 

weakness in the construction industry, which has been 

affected by the downturn in the housing market. 

The unemployment rate ticked up to 4.6 percent in July 

after holding steady at 4.5 percent for three straight months. 

The jobless rate has fluctuated around 4.5 percent since the 

fall of 2006, twice dipping to 4.4 percent, which was the 

lowest since the spring of 2001. 

Average hourly earnings of production and other 

nonsupervisory workers grew by 3.9 percent over the 12 

months ended in July. Recent nominal earnings gains are 

among the strongest in 6 years. In real terms, earnings rose 

by 1.3 percent over the 12 months ended in June (latest 

available). That was down from gains of around 2-1/2 

percent in the fall of 2006. The recent fluctuation in the real 

wage reflects movements in overall inflation, largely caused 

by fluctuations in oil prices.

September 2007

Real disposable personal income and 

consumer spending 

Growth in personal income and outlays slowed in the 

second quarter of 2007 relative to the first, but nonetheless 

experienced solid gains. Nominal personal income rose 4.0 

percent at an annual rate in the second quarter of 2007, 

following growth of 10.5 percent in the previous quarter. 

Wages and salaries, accounting for more than 50 percent of 

personal income, rose at a 2.8 percent annual rate in the 

second quarter, following a gain of 10.7 percent in the first 

quarter. The unusually large first-quarter gain was driven by 

bonuses and exercised stock options, which are counted as 

wage income in the national accounts. 

Growth of personal income receipts on assets stayed 

strong with a 9.2 percent increase at an annual rate after a 

10.5 percent rise during the first quarter. Growth of personal 

interest income increased at a 6.2 percent annual pace after 

rising 8.7 percent in the first quarter. 

Real disposable (after-tax) income declined 0.8 percent 

at an annual rate in the second quarter following two strong 

quarters of growth averaging more than 6 percent. Real 

personal consumption expenditures increased at a 1.3 

percent annual pace, 2.4 percentage points slower than the 

first quarter growth rate. The personal saving rate (personal 

saving as a percentage of disposable personal income) 

dropped 0.5 percentage point to 0.6 percent in the second 

quarter from 1.1 percent in the first quarter. After the annual 

GDP revision released in July, the personal saving rate, 

which had been consistently negative for 2 years, was 

revised up. It now appears that personal disposable income 

was larger than or equal to consumer spending in every 

quarter since the third quarter of 2005. 

Industrial production and capacity 

utilization 

Industrial production from factories, mines, and utilities 

increased about 3 percent at an annual rate in the second 

quarter of 2007 after rising at a 1.1 percent pace in the first 

quarter. Over the 12 months ending in June, output increased 

1.4 percent. On an annual basis, industrial production grew 4 

percent in 2006, the fastest rate since 2000. 

Manufacturing production, which accounts for about 82 

percent of all industrial output, rose 3.6 percent at an annual 

rate in the second quarter of 2007, following a small 0.8 

percent increase in the first quarter. Strong gains in the 

output of high-technology goods and automobiles led the 

overall manufacturing increase. The output of hightechnology goods (computers, communications equipment, 

and semiconductors) grew by 10.6 percent at an annual rate, 

up from the first quarter’s 9.1 percent pace. Production of 

motor vehicles and parts grew 13.4 percent at an annual rate 

in the second quarter of 2007 after six straight quarterly 

declines. Despite the strong second quarter, in the 12 months 

through June, output of motor vehicles and parts was down 

1.7 percent. Apart from automobiles, manufacturing output 

increased at a 2.8 percent annual rate in the second quarter 

of 2007. 

Utilities output, accounting for roughly 9.5 percent of 

total industrial output, fell 0.4 percent at an annual rate in the 

second quarter of 2007 (following an 8.7 percent 

improvement in the first quarter). Weather is usually a factor 

in this sector, and unseasonable weather in quarters often 

causes sharp swings in output from 1 month or quarter to the 

next. Output at mines (the remaining 10 percent of industrial 

output) grew 1.5 percent in the second quarter of 2007, 

following a 4.8 percent decline in the first quarter. In the 12 

months through June 2007, mining output grew 0.1 percent. 

The capacity utilization rate for the industrial sector 

edged up to 81.6 percent in the second quarter of 2007 from 

81.4 percent in the first quarter. Capacity utilization has 

trended higher over the past 2 years or so; in the second 

quarter it was still above its long-term average of 81.0. 

Capacity utilization ranged between 82 and 85 percent from 

1994 through 1999. In manufacturing, capacity utilization 

was 80.1 percent in the second quarter of 2007, up from 79.8 

percent in the first quarter – also its long-term average. 

Nonfarm productivity and unit labor costs 

Productivity growth rose in the second quarter of 2007, 

according to preliminary data, after leveling off during the 

first quarter. Productivity in the nonfarm business sector 

grew at an annual rate of 1.8 percent in the second quarter 

after slowing to 0.7 percent in the first quarter. In the second 

quarter, output rose 4.2 percent, while worker hours rose 2.3 

percent. In the first half of 2007, productivity grew 1.2 

percent at an annual rate, up from 2006 as a whole, when 

productivity increased 1.0 percent. Despite relatively slow 

productivity growth over the last year, the longer-term trend 

of productivity growth appears strong. Since the business 

cycle peak in the first quarter of 2001, productivity has 

grown at an annual rate of 2.5 percent, matching the 2.5 

percent rate during the preceding 5-year period. 

Hourly compensation costs in the nonfarm business 

sector rose 3.9 percent at an annual rate in the second 

quarter, slightly above the first quarter’s 3.7 percent rate but 

well below the 5.2 percent pace over the most recent four 

quarters. In real terms, hourly compensation was up 2.4 

percent over the most recent four quarters. 

An alternative measure from the Bureau of Labor 

Statistics, the employment cost index, shows that nominal 

hourly compensation rose 3.3 percent in the 12 months 

through June 2007, the fastest rate of increase since the 

second quarter of 2004. The employment cost index shows 

data on the two main components of compensation – wages 

and salaries and benefits. Both wages and salaries and 

benefit costs for all civilian workers were up 3.4 percent 

through June 2007 from a year earlier. Although benefit 

costs grew rapidly over 2003-2005, there has been a 

significant slowing over the past several quarters. Growth

during the 12 months through June is still the second slowest 

since the second quarter of 1999. 

Unit labor costs, which represent the interaction of 

productivity and compensation, increased 2.1 percent at an 

annual rate in the second quarter, slowing from the first 

quarter’s 3.0 percent rise. These costs were up 4.5 percent 

over the latest four quarters. 

In manufacturing, productivity rose 1.6 percent at an 

annual rate in the second quarter and was up 2.9 percent 

over the most recent four quarters. Over the past 5 years, 

productivity has grown at a 4.2 percent annual rate, slowing 

from the 4.6 percent pace of the previous 5-year period. 

Hourly compensation costs in manufacturing advanced 2.8 

percent at an annual rate in the second quarter and were up 

6.2 percent over the most recent four quarters. Factory unit 

labor costs increased 1.2 percent at an annual rate in the 

second quarter and are up 3.2 percent over the past four 

quarters. 

International transactions 

The U.S. current account has been in deficit almost 

continuously since the early 1980s. In the first quarter of 

2007, the current account deficit widened slightly to $770 

billion at an annual rate (equivalent to 5.7 percent of GDP) 

from $752 billion (5.6 percent of GDP) in the fourth quarter 

of 2006. The relatively small increase reflected a modest 

widening in the merchandise trade deficit – the largest 

component of the current account – as well as a pickup in 

net unilateral transfers (which include U.S. Government 

grants and private remittances). Partially offsetting those 

changes, the services trade surplus and the surplus on 

income both rose in the first quarter. 

The current account is matched by offsetting transactions 

in the capital and financial accounts, with any differences in 

the recorded flows listed as a statistical discrepancy. Net 

capital account transactions, which mainly consist of debt 

forgiveness and wealth transfers associated with 

immigration, were little changed at an annual rate of $2.2 

billion in the first quarter. 

Financial flows into and out of the United States slowed, 

on net, in the first quarter of 2007 to $811 billion at an 

annual rate from $908 billion in the fourth quarter of 2006. 

Within the financial account, net foreign purchases of U.S. 

assets accelerated to $2.5 trillion from $2.1 trillion in the 

fourth quarter. Private foreign purchases of U.S. Treasuries 

and stocks rose in the first quarter, and U.S. liabilities to 

foreigners reported by U.S. banks increased. In addition, 

foreign official assets in the United States jumped sharply 

but remained in line with recent trends as a percent of total 

net foreign acquisitions of U.S. assets. Finally, foreign direct 

investment and private foreign purchases of U.S. corporate 

bonds slowed, and foreign sales of federally-sponsored 

agency bonds increased. In the first quarter, net foreign 

financial inflows were more than outweighed by a rise in 

U.S. purchases of assets overseas, which increased to $1.7 

trillion at an annual rate from $1.2 trillion in the fourth 

quarter. 

Exchange rate of the dollar 

The value of the U.S. dollar compared to the currencies 

of America’s key trading partners slipped in the second 

quarter of 2007 after edging upward in the first quarter. The 

nominal exchange value of the dollar (relative to a broad 

index covering the currencies of 26 important U.S. trading 

partners) depreciated 2.4 percent during the second quarter 

of 2007. In June, the dollar settled at its lowest nominal level 

in 10 years. Since peaking in February 2002, the U.S. 

currency as measured by this broad index has depreciated by 

nearly 20 percent. 

The aggregate decline since 2002 mainly reflected dollar 

weakness against the currencies of seven major trading 

partners, including the euro area countries, Japan, Canada, 

the United Kingdom, Australia, Sweden, and Switzerland. 

Between February 2002 and June 2007, the exchange rate of 

the dollar compared to an index of these currencies fell by 

nearly 30 percent. Over this period, the dollar was down by 

35 percent against the euro and by 8 percent against the yen. 

The dollar generally showed much less movement with 

respect to the currencies of the other 19 important trading 

partners (including Mexico, China, and India). It 

strengthened somewhat from February 2002 through the first 

half of 2004, but since then, the dollar has depreciated 

against this index by about 8 percent. In June 2007, the 

dollar was 5.5 percent lower against this basket of currencies 

than at the February 2002 peak.

Interest rates 

At its most recent meeting in August 2007, the Federal 

Open Market Committee (FOMC) – the Federal Reserve’s 

policy-making arm – maintained the Federal funds target 

interest rate at 5.25 percent, where it has stood since late 

June 2006. The funds rate target had been as low as 1 

percent as recently as the middle of 2004. 

In the Treasury market, the 3-month Treasury bill rate 

stood at 4.8 percent in early August 2007, and had risen by 

about 140 basis points over the past 2 years. The 10-year 

yield has fluctuated over the past 18 months, rising above 5 

percent in mid-2006 before falling back to 4.7 percent by 

year-end. In 2007, the rate rose again, moving back above 5 

percent to peak at 5.2 percent in late June. However, in 

recent weeks the rate has declined by over 40 basis points, 

on signs of slower growth and on safe-haven flows, the latter 

partly reflecting credit market concerns. The rate has 

declined to about 4.8 percent as of early August. 

Mortgage interest rates have generally followed 

movements of the 10-year Treasury rate, moving decisively 

higher through the first half of 2006. In early July 2006, the 

rate for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage reached 6.8 percent, 

its highest level in over four years. During the second half of 

2006, the mortgage rate generally declined in tandem with 

the 10-year Treasury rate to about 6.1 percent in December. 

During the first few months of 2007 the rate fluctuated 

around the 6 percent mark but started moving sharply higher 

in May. As of early August, the 30-year conventional 

mortgage rate stood at 6.7 percent. 

Corporate bond yields have also generally followed 

movements in long-term Treasury yields. Moody’s seasoned 

Baa yield reached a recent peak of 6.9 percent in late June 

2006, but during the latter half of 2006 and early 2007, it 

retreated, trading between 6.1 percent and 6.5 percent. Since 

late May, the yield has fluctuated in a higher range between 

6.6 percent and 6.8 percent, and was 6.7 percent in early 

August. The spread between the Baa yield and the 10-year 

Treasury yield, a measure of investor risk appetite, has 

remained essentially unchanged through much of 2005 and 

2006. This spread had widened to as much as 4.0 percentage 

points in October 2002, but over most of the past several 

months has remained quite stable at roughly 1.7 percentage 

points. Most recently, spreads have widened with rising 

credit market concerns and stood at about 2 percentage 

points in early August.

Housing 

Housing activity remained sluggish in the second quarter 

of 2007. Housing starts rose slightly while permits continued 

to decline. Both home builder and home buyer sentiment 

declined, caused in part by higher mortgage rates. Despite 

the weak housing market, the homeownership rate remained 

close to record levels. 

Housing starts inched up to a 1.462 million unit pace in 

the second quarter from a 1.460 million rate in the first 

quarter. Although small, this was the first quarterly rise in 

starts since the first quarter of 2006. Housing permits signal 

continued slow growth. The number of permits issued for 

future construction was 1.463 million at an annual rate in the 

first quarter, the slowest quarterly rate in almost 10 years. 

Residential investment, a key component of GDP, declined 

for the sixth straight quarter, subtracting 0.5 percentage 

points from real GDP in the second quarter. 

Measures of consumer home buying attitudes and home 

builder sentiment continued their downward trend in the 

second quarter. The National Association of Home Builder’s 

housing market index dropped 8.0 points from March to 

June. The net loss for the Michigan survey of consumer 

sentiment’s home buying conditions was 6.0 points during 

the same time period, down from a 5 point rise in the first. 

The housing market index plummeted another 4 points in 

July, and the Michigan survey’s home buying conditions 

dropped 2 points, showing no signs of relief in the housing 

market. 

Sales of new single-family homes rose 13.1 percent at an 

annual rate in the second quarter to a 0.880 million unit pace 

from a 0.853 million unit pace in the first quarter. This rise 

was preceded by six quarters of declines, but was still well 

below the most recent peak rate of 1.296 million units in 

2005. Resales of existing single-family homes, accounting 

for nearly 85 percent of all one-family home sales, did not 

fare as well in the second quarter, falling 28.2 percent at an 

annual rate to a 5.913 million unit rate. The homeownership 

rate slipped by 0.2 percentage points to 68.4 percent in the 

second quarter but remains at a historically high level, less 

than 1 percent below its peak in the spring of 2004. After 

declining for three quarters, existing home prices turned up 

once again in the second quarter. The median sales price of 

an existing single-family home rose 5.3 percent to $224,000 

in the second quarter, compared to $213,000 in the first. 

Mortgage interest rates began to creep up in the second 

quarter and have continued to rise at the start of the third 

quarter, due to the recent tightening of credit standards. The 

average rate on a 30-year conventional mortgage rose from 

an average of 6.22 percent in the first quarter to 6.37 percent 

in the second. In July the rate averaged 6.70 percent, 6 basis 

points lower than the 30-year mortgage rate in July 2006 and 

below the 7.5 percent average posted in the second half of 

the 1990s. Although rising, the relatively low mortgage 

interest rate, along with more moderate housing price 

appreciation, should help to keep the homeownership rate 

high. The National Association of Realtors’ housing 

affordability index fell to 104.4 percent in June from a 

reading of 113.3 percent in the March, slightly below the 

2006 average of 106.2 percent. 

Federal budget 

The Federal budget deficit continued to improve in the 

third fiscal quarter of 2007, as strong receipts growth 

outpaced outlays. Budget results for the first 10 months of 

fiscal year 2007 show the Federal deficit narrowed to $157 

billion, an improvement of more than $80 billion compared 

with the same months of fiscal year 2006. Receipts rose 

$146 billion or 7.4 percent through 10 months of the fiscal 

year versus last year. About 85 percent of the revenue 

growth experienced so far this year has been from individual 

income taxes, individual payments, and employment taxes 

and contributions, reflecting the solid pace of nominal wage 

and salary growth.

Outlays increased by $64 billion, or 2.9 percent in the 

first 10 months of fiscal year 2007. The largest increase in 

outlays was for Medicare, with expenditures up about $39 

billion or roughly 14 percent compared with the first 10 

months of fiscal year 2006 (the prescription drug benefit 

started in January 2006 contributed $42 billion to the 

increase). Net outlays for national defense increased by $28 

billion through the first 10 months of the fiscal year 

compared to the same 10 months of fiscal year 2006, or 

about 6 percent. Net interest expenses were up nearly $10 

billion (about 5 percent) from fiscal year 2006 due in part to 

higher short-term interest rates. 

The annual Mid-Session Review (MSR) of the budget 

was released in mid-July, and projected that the Federal 

deficit will continue to shrink, both in dollar terms and 

relative to the rest of the economy. The MSR projects the 

deficit will shrink almost steadily through the 5-year forecast 

horizon, ending with a small surplus ($33 billion or 0.2 

percent of GDP) in fiscal year 2012. The MSR projects 

receipts will grow about 5 percent a year during fiscal years 

2008-2012 and will average 18.5 percent as a share of GDP. 

That share is 1.2 percentage points above the average over 

the last 5 years. Outlays are projected to rise about 3.2 

percent during fiscal years 2008-2012. Outlays are expected 

to shrink as a share of GDP from 20.3 percent in fiscal year 

2007 to 18.5 percent in fiscal year 2012. Over the last 5 

years, outlays have averaged 19.7 percent of GDP.

Net national saving and investment 

The net national saving rate – net national saving as a 

share of net national product (NNP) – eased to 1.5 percent in 

the first quarter of 2007 from 2.2 percent in 2006 as saving 

by the private sector declined. Net national saving has been 

on a downward trend since the 1960s, in part due to 

declining private saving but also reflecting the growth of 

Federal Government budget deficits since the 1970s. Over 

this period, net national saving as a share of NNP declined 

from an average of 12.2 percent in the 1960s to a low of 1.1 

percent in 2005. 

Private saving (of households and businesses) slipped to 

3.3 percent of NNP in the first quarter of 2007 from 3.8 

percent in 2006. The decline reflected a drop in the corporate 

saving rate to 2.8 percent from 3.4 percent in 2006. Personal 

saving as a share of NNP has been declining since the early 

1980s and in 2003 dipped to a 7-decade low of 0.3 percent. 

In the first quarter of 2007, however, personal saving as a 

share of NNP turned up slightly to 0.9 percent. 

Government saving as a share of NNP was little changed 

at -1.8 percent in the first quarter. As a share of NNP, the 

Federal budget deficit narrowed slightly to 1.8 percent in the 

first quarter of 2007 from 1.9 percent in 2006. Shrinking 

budget shortfalls over the past few years have triggered a 

notable improvement in the Federal saving rate, which 

reached a 10-year low of -3.8 percent in 2003. State and 

local governments posted a surplus in 2006 but their 

combined fiscal balance slipped back into deficit in the first 

quarter of 2007. The state and local budget deficit as a share 

of NNP eased to -0.05 percent in the first quarter. 

Net domestic investment was equivalent to 7.5 percent of 

NNP in the first quarter of 2007, down from 8.8 percent in 

2006. Private industry outlays for structures, equipment and 

software, and inventories fell to 6.1 percent of NNP in the 

first quarter from 7.4 percent in 2006. Net private domestic 

investment was 6.6 percent of NNP in each of the prior 2 

calendar years. A growing portion of domestic investment 

has been financed from abroad. In the first quarter of 2007, 

foreign inflows were equivalent to 6.3 percent of NNP. That 

was up from around 1-1/2 percent of NNP in the mid 1990s.

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.

Third-Quarter Receipts 

The following capsule analysis of budget 

receipts, by source, for the third quarter of fiscal 

year 2007 supplements fiscal data reported in the 

June issue of the “Treasury Bulletin.” At the time 

of that issue’s release, not enough data were 

available to analyze adequately collections for the 

quarter. 

Individual income taxes—Individual income tax 

receipts, net of refunds, were $405.9 billion for the third 

quarter of fiscal year 2007. This is an increase of $44.6 

billion over the comparable prior year quarter. Withheld 

receipts increased by $22.0 billion and non-withheld receipts 

increased by $28.9 billion during this period. Refunds 

increased by $6.3 billion over the comparable fiscal year 

2006 quarter. There was an increase of $5.3 billion in 

accounting adjustments between individual income tax 

receipts and the Social Security and Medicare trust funds 

over the comparable quarter in fiscal year 2006. 

Corporate income taxes—Net corporate income tax 

receipts were $125.6 billion for the third quarter of fiscal 

year 2007. This is an increase of $4.6 billion compared to 

the prior year third quarter. The $4.6 billion change is 

comprised of an increase of $4.4 billion in estimated and 

final payments, and a decrease of $0.2 billion in corporate 

refunds. 

Employment taxes and contributions—Employment 

taxes and contributions receipts for the third quarter of fiscal 

year 2007 were $228.2 billion, an increase of $6.3 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 $4.0 billion, $0.7 billion, and $1.6 billion 

respectively. There was a -$3.6 billion accounting 

adjustment for prior years employment tax liabilities made 

in the third quarter of fiscal year 2007, while there was a 

$1.7 billion adjustment in the third quarter of fiscal year 

2006. 

Unemployment insurance—Unemployment insurance 

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

2007 were $21.2 billion, a decrease of $1.3 billion over the 

comparable quarter of fiscal year 2006. Net State taxes 

deposited in the U.S. Treasury decreased by $1.4 billion to 

$17.2 billion. Net Federal Unemployment Tax Act taxes 

increased by $0.1 billion to $4.0 billion.

and Third-Quarter Receipts by Source, con.

Contributions for other insurance and retirement—

Contributions for other retirement were $1.1 billion for the 

third quarter of fiscal year 2007. This was a negligible 

change from the comparable quarter of fiscal year 2006. 

Excise taxes—Net excise tax receipts for the third 

quarter of fiscal year 2007 were $16.0 billion, a decrease of 

$3.0 billion over the comparable prior year quarter. Total 

excise tax refunds for the quarter were $1.9 billion, an 

increase of $1.2 billion over the comparable prior year 

quarter. 

Estate and gift taxes—Net estate and gift tax receipts 

were $7.7 billion for the third quarter of fiscal year 2007. 

These receipts represent an increase of $0.2 billion over the 

same quarter in fiscal year 2006. 

Customs duties—Customs duties net of refunds were 

$6.2 billion for the third quarter of fiscal year 2007. This is 

an increase of $0.2 billion over the comparable prior year 

quarter. 

Miscellaneous receipts—Net miscellaneous receipts 

for the third quarter of fiscal year 2007 were $12.6 billion, 

an increase of $0.6 billion over the comparable prior year 

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

Federal Reserve banks increasing by $0.4 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. Issues of cash management bills also are

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: Market Yields

The table in this section presents yields on Treasury 

marketable securities for maturities ranging from 1 month to 

30 years. 

Table MY-1 lists Treasury market bid yields at constant 

maturities for bills, notes, and bonds. These Constant 

Maturity Treasury rates (CMTs) are interpolated from the 

Treasury yield curve and published daily at Treasury’s 

Domestic Finance web site, www.ustreas.gov/offices/domesticfinance/debt-management/interest-rate/yield.shtml. The 

yield curve is fitted daily using a hermite cubic spline. For 

inputs, Treasury primarily uses the bid yields of the on-therun securities (most recently auctioned Treasury securities in 

all maturity tranches that Treasury currently auctions) as 

quoted in the secondary bond market as of approximately 

3:30 p.m. each trading day. CMT yields are based on 

semiannual interest payments and are read at constant 

maturity points to develop a consistent data series. 

The quotations used by Treasury to calculate the bid 

yields and fit the yield curve are obtained by the Federal 

Reserve Bank of New York. The Board of Governors of the 

Federal Reserve System also publishes the Treasury constant 

maturity data series in its weekly Statistical Release H.15. 

Treasury discontinued the 30-year constant maturity 

yield during the time period February 18, 2002, through 

February 8, 2006. Thus, 30-year yields for that time frame 

are not available.

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. 

4

 Includes holdings of Treasury and Federal Reserve System; beginning November 

1978, these are valued at current market exchange rates or, where appropriate, at 

such other rates as may be agreed upon by the parties to the transactions. 

5

 The United States has the right to purchase foreign currencies equivalent to its 

reserve position in the IMF automatically if needed. Under appropriate conditions, the 

United States could purchase additional amounts related to the U.S. quota.

INTRODUCTION: Capital Movements 

Background 

Data relating to U.S. international transactions in 

financial instruments and to other portfolio capital 

movements between the United States and foreign countries 

have been collected in some form since 1935. This 

information is necessary for compiling the U.S. balance of 

payments accounts, for calculating the U.S. international 

investment position, and for use in formulating U.S. 

international financial and monetary policies. 

From the beginning, reporting under the Treasury data 

collection program has been mandatory. Under the current 

Treasury International Capital (TIC) reporting system, an 

assortment of monthly 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. 

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 

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, 
CAPITAL MOVEMENTS 

September 2007 

52 

2003, reporting coverage was expanded as outlined in 

Section I. Additionally, columns were added for separate 

reporting of issued by foreigners. Further, the foreigner 

category, 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.

 Includes Bahamas, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Netherlands Antilles, and Panama. For data beginning June 2006, also 

includes the British Virgin Islands. 

U.S. liabilities to foreigners 

reported by U.S. banks were 

recorded at $4.3 trillion in June 

2007, an increase of $370 billion 

from yearend 2006. U.S. banking 

liabilities include foreign holdings 

of U.S. short-term securities but 

exclude foreign holdings of U.S. 

long-term securities. U.S. banking 

liabilities increased about $759 

billion in 2006, about $169 billion 

in 2005, and about $635 billion in 

2004. However, much of the 

increase in liabilities to foreigners 

in 2006 reflects changes in 

coverage in the bank-reported 

data in the first and second 

quarters of 2006. Between June 

and December of 2006, when data 

were reported on a consistent 

basis, banking liabilities increased 

about $247 billion. 

U.S. banking liabilities are 

concentrated in international 

financial centers. The data on this 

page show that more than 60 

percent of U.S. banking liabilities 

is currently recorded against the 

United Kingdom and banking 

centers in the Caribbean. These 

financial centers have recorded 

most of the growth in banking 

liabilities in recent years. 

Foreigners domiciled in the rest of 

Europe and in Asia account for 

about one-third of U.S. banking 

liabilities.

CHART CM-B.—U.S. Claims on Foreigners 

Reported by U.S. Banks, Brokers, and Dealers with Respect to Selected Countries

In March 2007, U.S. claims on 

foreigners reported by U.S. banks 

amounted to about $3.3 trillion, 

an increase of $276 billion from 

the level recorded at yearend 

2006. U.S. banking claims 

include holdings of foreign shortterm securities but exclude 

holdings of foreign long-term 

securities. U.S. banking claims 

increased $572 billion in 2006, 

but part of the increase reflects 

changes in coverage in the bankreported data in the first and 

second quarters of 2006. Between 

June and December of 2006, 

when data were reported on a 

consistent basis, banking claims 

increased about $186 billion. 

Banking claims increased $312 

billion in 2005 and $488 billion in 

2004. 

As with U.S. banking liabilities, 

U.S. banking claims on foreigners 

are concentrated in international 

financial centers. About 60 

percent of these claims are 

reported opposite the United 

Kingdom and banking centers in 

the Caribbean. The share of 

claims against foreigners 

domiciled in Asia has declined 

over the past several years from 

about 20 percent at the end of 

1996 to less than 10 percent 

currently.

includes the British Virgin Islands. 

2

 Beginning January 2001, Cayman Islands replaced British West Indies in reporting format. 

The data on this page represent 

foreign investors’ purchases and 

sales of long-term U.S. securities 

(that is, U.S. Treasury and 

Government agency bonds and 

notes, and U.S. corporate bonds and 

stocks) as reported to the TIC 

reporting system. Foreign investors 

also acquired U.S. equities through 

mergers and reincorporations that 

involve stock swaps. Net foreign 

acquisitions of U.S. equities through 

stock swaps have been modest, 

amounting to $2 billion in 2003, $36 

billion in 2004, $6 billion in 2005, 

$4 billion in 2006, and $7 billion in 

the second quarter of 2007. (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 Web site. 

The TIC Web site also provides 

estimates from the Federal Reserve 

Bank of New York on principal 

repayment flows on foreign holdings 

of U.S. government agency and 

corporate asset-backed securities 

(ABS). These repayments, also not 

reported under the TIC system, are 

estimated to have reduced foreign 

net purchases of U.S. securities by 

$123 billion in 2003, $86 billion in 

2004, $141 billion in both 2005 and 

2006, nearly $40 billion in the first 

quarter of 2007, and $42 billion in 

the second quarter of 2007. 

Net foreign purchases of U.S. 

securities first surpassed $100 

billion in 1993. In 2003, net foreign 

acquisitions of U.S. securities 

(including stock swaps and 

accounting for ABS repayment 

flows) totaled $599 billion. Net 

acquisitions picked up to $866 

billion in 2004, grew a bit further to 

$876 billion in 2005, and reached a 

new record of nearly $1,000 billion 

in 2006. Net purchases were $631 

billion in the first half of 2007, a 

pace of acquisition above that in 

2006.

The data on this page represent U.S. 

investors’ purchases and sales of longterm foreign securities as reported to 

the TIC reporting system. However, in 

the past several years, U.S. investors 

also have acquired a substantial amount 

of foreign stocks, mostly European, 

through mergers that involve stock 

swaps. In addition, when foreign firms 

reincorporate in the United States, the 

associated stock swap reduces U.S. 

holdings of foreign equity. Net 

acquisitions through stock swaps 

amounted to $80 billion in 2000, $47 

billion in 2001, $3 billion in 2002, $17 

billion in 2003, -$12 billion in 2004, $4 

billion in 2005, $19 billion in 2006, 

and $4 billion in the first quarter of 

2007. There are no reported 

acquisitions of stock swaps in the 

second quarter of 2007. (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 

Web site. 

Including the stock swaps, annual U.S. 

net purchases of long-term foreign 

securities averaged about $100 billion 

from the mid-1990s through 2000, 

without much variation from year to 

year. U.S. investors’ acquisitions of 

foreign securities (including stock 

swaps) then slowed over the 2001-2003 

period before rebounding to $141 

billion in 2004 and $176 billion in 

2005. The pace of U.S. acquisitions 

picked up further in 2006, as U.S. 

investors acquired nearly $270 billion 

in foreign securities. This strength 

continued in the first half of 2007, as 

U.S. investors acquired $164 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 Treasury reports. 

Tables I-3 through VI-3 present quarterly consolidated 

currency data reported by large market participants that do 

not file weekly reports. 

Principal exchanged under cross-currency interest rate 

swaps is reported as part of purchases or sales of foreign 

exchange. Such principal also was noted separately on 

monthly and quarterly reports through December 1998, 

when this practice was discontinued. The net options 

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

position, is an estimate of the relationship between an 

option’s value and an equivalent currency hedge. The delta 

equivalent value is defined as the product of the first partial 

derivative of an option valuation formula (with respect to the 

price of the underlying currency) multiplied by the notional 

principal of the contract.

INTRODUCTION: Exchange Stabilization Fund

To stabilize the exchange value of the dollar, the 

Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF) was established pursuant 

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

30, 1934 (codified at 31 United States Code 5302), which 

authorized establishment of a Treasury fund to be operated 

under the exclusive control of the Secretary, with approval 

of the President. 

Subsequent amendment of the Gold Reserve Act 

modified the original purpose somewhat to reflect 

termination of the fixed exchange rate system. 

Resources of the fund include dollar balances, partially 

invested in U.S. Government securities, special drawing

rights (SDRs), and balances of foreign currencies. Principal 

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

or losses (-) on SDRs and foreign exchange, as well as 

interest earned on assets. 

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

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

equivalents based on current exchange rates computed 

according to the accrual method of accounting. The capital 

account represents the original capital appropriated to the fund 

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

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

International Monetary Fund. Gains and losses are reflected in 

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

• Table ESF-2 shows the results of operations by 

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

computed according to the accrual method. “Profit (+) or 

loss (-) on foreign exchange” includes realized profits or 

losses. “Adjustment for change in valuation of SDR holdings 

and allocations” reflects net gain or loss on revaluation of 

SDR holdings and allocations for the quarter.

 Beginning July 1974, the International Monetary Fund adopted a technique for valuing the 

SDRs based on a weighted average of exchange rates for the currencies of selected 

member countries. The U.S. SDR holdings and allocations are valued on this basis 

beginning July 1974. 

Note.— Annual balance sheets for fiscal years 1934 through 1940 appeared in the 1940 

“Annual Report of the Secretary of the Treasury” and those for succeeding years 

appeared in subsequent reports through 1980. Quarterly balance sheets beginning with 

December 31, 1938, have been published in the “Treasury Bulletin.” Data from inception 

to September 30, 1978, may be found on the statements published in the January 1979 

“Treasury Bulletin.”

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 June 2007, the debt 

limit was $8,965,000 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 

September 2007 

108

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 

disability fund; the Federal Hospital Insurance Trust Fund; the 

military retirement fund; and the Unemployment Trust Fund. 

Interfund transactions (“Federal Fiscal Operations”)—

Transactions in which payments are made from one fund 

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

in another group. 

International Monetary Fund (“Exchange Stabilization 

Fund,” IFS-1)—(IMF) Established by the United Nations, 

the IMF promotes international trade, stability of exchange, 

and monetary cooperation. Members are allowed to draw 

from the fund. 

Intrabudgetary transactions (“Federal Fiscal Operations”)—

These occur when payment and receipt both occur within the 

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

entities whose budget authority and outlays are excluded from 

the budget totals. 

Noncompetitive tenders (“Treasury Financing Operations”)—Offers by an investor to purchase Treasury 

securities at the price equivalent to the weighted average 

discount rate or yield of accepted competitive tenders in a 

Treasury auction. Noncompetitive tenders are always accepted 

in full. 

Obligations (“Federal Fiscal Operations”)—An unpaid 

commitment to acquire goods or services. 

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

Federally owned and controlled entities whose transactions are 

excluded from the budget totals under provisions of law. Their 

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

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

not included in totals of the budget. 

Outlays (“Federal Fiscal Operations”)—Payments on 

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

or notes, or the maturing of interest coupons. 

Own foreign offices (“Capital Movements”)—Refers to 

U.S. reporting institutions’ parent organizations, branches 

and/or majority-owned subsidiaries located outside the United 

States. 

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

interest. 

Quarterly financing (“Treasury Financing Operations”)—

Treasury has historically offered packages of several 

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

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

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

30-year bond. Treasury sometimes offers additional amounts 

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

new security issues. (See Reopening.) 

Receipts (“Federal Fiscal Operations”)—Funds collected 

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

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

and fees. 

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

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.) 
GLOSSARY 

September 2007 

109

SDR allocations are the counterpart to SDRs issued by 

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

Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF) statements as liabilities, 

they must be redeemed by ESF only in the event of 

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

of IMF or cancellation of SDRs. 

SDR certificates are issued to the Federal Reserve 

System against SDRs when SDRs are legalized as money. 

Proceeds of monetization are deposited into an ESF account 

at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. 

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

delivery within 2 workdays. 

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

nonmarketable certificates, notes, and bonds offered to State 

and local governments as a means to invest proceeds from 

their own tax-exempt financing. Interest rates and maturities 

comply with IRS arbitrage provisions. SLGS are offered in 

both time deposit and demand deposit forms. Time deposit 

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

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

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

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.)
