TREASURY INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL DATA FOR JUNE 

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of the Treasury today released Treasury International 

Capital (TIC) data for June 2011. The next release, which will report on data for July 2011, is 

scheduled for September 16, 2011. 

Foreign residents decreased their holdings of long-term U.S. securities in June — net sales were 

$11.5 billion. Net sales by private foreign investors were $23.0 billion, and net purchases by 

foreign official institutions were $11.5 billion. 

At the same time, U.S. residents decreased their holdings of long-term foreign securities, with 

net sales of $15.2 billion. 

Taking into account transactions in both foreign and U.S. securities, the net foreign purchases of 

long-term securities were $3.7 billion. After adjustments, such as estimates of unrecorded 

principal payments to foreigners on U.S. asset-backed securities, are included, the overall net 

foreign acquisition of long-term securities is estimated to have been negative $8.0 billion in June. 

Foreign holdings of all dollar-denominated short-term U.S. securities and other custody 

liabilities decreased $14.7 billion. 

Banks’ own net dollar-denominated liabilities to foreign residents decreased $6.8 billion. 

In sum, the net foreign acquisitions of long-term securities, the change in foreign holdings of 

short-term U.S. securities, and banking flows yielded monthly net TIC outflows of $29.5 billion. 

Of this, net foreign private outflows were $28.0 billion, and net foreign official outflows were 

$1.5 billion.

/3 The reported division of net purchases of long-term securities between net purchases by foreign official institutions and net purchases

of other foreign investors is subject to a "transaction bias" described in Frequently Asked Questions 7 and 10.a.4 on the TIC website.

/4 Net transactions in foreign securities by U.S. residents. Foreign purchases of foreign securities = U.S. sales of foreign securities to foreigners.

Thus negative entries indicate net U.S. purchases of foreign securities, or an outflow of capital from the United States; positive entries

indicate net U.S. sales of foreign securities.

quarterly and published in the Treasury Bulletin and the TIC website.

/8 TIC data cover most components of international financial flows, but do not include data on direct investment flows, which are collected

and published by the Department of Commerce's Bureau of Economic Analysis. In addition to the monthly data summarized here, the

TIC collects quarterly data on some banking and nonbanking assets and liabilities. Frequently Asked Question 1 on the TIC website

describes the scope of TIC data collection.
