| Notes | This series reports foreign investor holdings, at market value, of long-term U.S. Treasury bonds. Excludes Hong Kong and Taiwan, which are reported separately. This series is a component of balance of payments accounting which decomposes the change in securities position into net purchases, valuation change, and residual other changes (not included). This series is a combination of data reported on the Treasury International Capital (TIC) SLT form (securities long-term, those with an original maturity greater than one year) and staff estimates of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, detailed in https://doi.org/10.17016/2380-7172.4084. The Treasury International Capital (TIC) system collects U.S. cross-border investment between the United States and the rest of the world. TIC data are reported based on the counterparty's country of legal residence. TIC data underlie the cross-border securities portions of the Bureau for Economic Analysis's (BEA's) International Investment Position (IIP) and Balance of Payments (BOP) statistics. |
