-- increased $2.9 billion in March, compared with an increase of $3.6 billion in February.
Personal current taxes and disposable personal income
Personal current taxes increased $10.4 billion in March, compared with an increase of $10.0

Personal outlays -- PCE, personal interest payments, and personal current transfer payments
increased $52.7 billion in March, compared with an increase of $20.7 billion in February. PCE
increased $51.8 billion, compared with an increase of $20.0 billion.
Personal saving -- DPI less personal outlays -- was a negative $32.5 billion in March,
compared with a negative $58.3 billion in February. Personal saving as a percentage of disposable
personal income was a negative 0.3 percent in March, compared with a negative 0.6 percent in
February. Negative personal saving reflects personal outlays that exceed disposable personal
income. Saving from current income may be near zero or negative when outlays are financed by
borrowing (including borrowing financed through credit cards or home equity loans), by selling
investments or other assets, or by using savings from previous periods. For more information, see
the FAQs on "Personal Saving" on BEA's Web site.

Real DPI -- DPI adjusted to remove price changes -- increased 0.5 percent in March,
