|
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 web site.
|

|
|
|
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.

These are primarily data on monthly changes in banks' and broker/dealers' custody liabilities. Data on custody claims are collected

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 web
|
|
|
|
|
site describes the scope of TIC data collection.
