             U.S. International Transactions: First Quarter 2007

                                Current Account

        The U.S. current-account deficit--the combined balances on trade in
goods and services, income, and net unilateral current transfers--increased to
$192.6 billion (preliminary) in the first quarter of 2007 from $187.9 billion
(revised) in the fourth quarter of 2006.  The increase was more than accounted
for by an increase in net unilateral current transfers to foreigners.  In
addition, the deficit on goods increased a small amount. These increases were
partly offset by small increases in the surpluses on services and on income.

Goods and services

        The deficit on goods and services decreased slightly to $176.8 billion
in the first quarter from $176.9 billion in the fourth.

        Goods

        The deficit on goods increased to $200.9 billion in the first quarter
from $200.3 billion in the fourth.

        Goods exports increased to $270.1 billion from $266.5 billion.  The
largest increases were in consumer goods, in agricultural products, and in
automotive vehicles, parts, and engines.

        Goods imports increased to $471.0 billion from $466.8 billion.  The
increase largely resulted from an increase in petroleum and products.  Among
nonpetroleum products, increases in capital goods, in consumer goods, and in
foods, feeds, and beverages were mostly offset by decreases in other major
commodity categories.

        Services

        The surplus on services increased to $24.1 billion in the first quarter
from $23.4 billion in the fourth.

        Services receipts increased to $112.8 billion from $111.1 billion.  The
increase was largely accounted for by increases in other private services
(such as business, professional, and technical services, insurance services,
and financial services), in travel, and in royalties and license fees.

        Services payments increased to $88.7 billion from $87.7 billion.  The
increase was largely accounted for by increases in other private services, in
direct defense expenditures, and in passenger fares.

Income

        The surplus on income increased to $10.4 billion in the first quarter
from $9.7 billion in the fourth.

        Investment income

        Income receipts on U.S.-owned assets abroad increased to $176.8 billion
from $172.3 billion.  The increase was largely accounted for by an increase in
other private receipts (which consists of interest and dividends).

        Income payments on foreign-owned assets in the United States increased
to $164.8 billion from $161.0 billion.  Increases in other private payments
(which consists of interest and dividends) and in U.S. Government payments
(which consists of interest) were partly offset by a decrease in direct
investment payments.

        Compensation of employees

        Receipts for compensation of U.S. workers abroad were virtually
unchanged at $0.7 billion, and payments for compensation of foreign workers in
the United States were virtually unchanged at $2.4 billion.

Unilateral current transfers

        Net unilateral current transfers to foreigners were $26.1 billion in
the first quarter, up from $20.7 billion in the fourth.  The increase resulted
from increases in U.S. Government grants, mostly to the Middle East, and in
private remittances and other transfers.

                                Capital Account

        Net capital account payments (outflows) were virtually unchanged at
$0.6 billion in the first quarter.

                               Financial Account

        Net financial inflows--net acquisitions by foreign residents of assets
in the United States less net acquisitions by U.S. residents of assets abroad--
were $202.8 billion in the first quarter, down from $225.2 billion in the
fourth.  Net acquisitions by U.S. residents picked up more than net
acquisitions by foreign residents.

U.S.-owned assets abroad

        U.S.-owned assets abroad increased $420.8 billion in the first quarter,
following an increase of $289.0 billion in the fourth.

        U.S. claims on foreigners reported by U.S. banks increased $233.0
billion in the first quarter, following an increase of $123.9 billion in the
fourth.

        Net U.S. purchases of foreign securities were $87.7 billion in the
first quarter, down from $117.2 billion in the fourth.  Net U.S. purchases of
foreign stocks were $43.5 billion, down from $62.7 billion.  Net U.S. purchases
of foreign bonds were $44.2 billion, down from $54.5 billion.

        Net financial flows for U.S. direct investment abroad were $75.5
billion in the first quarter, up from $66.1 billion in the fourth.  A pickup in
net equity capital investment abroad was partly offset by a larger decrease in
net intercompany debt investment abroad and a slowdown in reinvested earnings.

        U.S. official reserve assets increased $0.1 billion in the first
quarter, following a decrease of $1.4 billion in the fourth.

Foreign-owned assets in the United States

        Foreign-owned assets in the United States increased $623.6 billion in
the first quarter, following an increase of $516.0 billion in the fourth.

        U.S. liabilities to foreigners reported by U.S. banks increased $203.8
billion in the first quarter, following an increase of $172.3 billion in the
fourth.

        Net purchases by foreigners of U.S. Treasury securities were $45.6
billion in the first quarter, up from $22.1 billion in the fourth.

        Net purchases by foreigners of U.S. securities other than U.S. Treasury
securities were $123.4 billion in the first quarter, down from $132.7 billion
in the fourth.  Net purchases by foreigners of U.S. stocks were $49.1 billion,
up from $26.6 billion.  Net purchases by foreigners of U.S. corporate bonds
were $102.1 billion, down from $112.2 billion.  Net sales by foreigners of
federally sponsored agency bonds were $27.7 billion, up from $6.1 billion.

        Net financial flows for foreign direct investment in the United States
were $23.5 billion in the first quarter, down from $45.6 billion in the fourth.
A shift from an increase to a decrease in net intercompany debt investment in
the United States and a slowdown in net equity capital investment in the United
States were partly offset by a pickup in reinvested earnings.

        Foreign official assets in the United States increased $147.8 billion
in the first quarter, following an increase of $85.3 billion in the fourth.

        Transactions in U.S. currency shifted to net shipments to the United
States of $1.6 billion in the first quarter from net shipments to foreign
countries of $8.4 billion in the fourth.

        The statistical discrepancy--errors and omissions in recorded
transactions--was a negative $9.6 billion in the first quarter, compared with a
negative $36.6 billion in the fourth.

      In the first quarter, the U.S. dollar appreciated less than 1 percent on
a trade-weighted quarterly average basis against a group of 7 major currencies.

                                   Revisions

        As is customary each June, estimates of U.S. international transactions
are updated and revised to incorporate newly available source data and improved
estimating methodologies.  The major changes this year are summarized below.

  *    New and comprehensive estimates of transactions in financial derivatives
are introduced for 2006.

  *    A new methodology is introduced for 2001-2006 for estimating interest
received on U.S. holdings of foreign bonds and interest paid on foreign
holdings of U.S. corporate bonds, U.S. agency bonds, and U.S. Treasury bonds.

  *    The geographic detail of the accounts is presented in an expanded format
for 1999-2004; the new estimates extend to these years the same format that was
introduced last year for 2005-2006.  Separate estimates are now presented for
Asia, for Africa, and for the Middle East; for additional countries in Asia;
and for additional countries in Latin America.  Some European countries
previously published annually are now published quarterly.  New country
groupings are now presented within Europe and include first-time estimates for
the euro area.  (See BEAs Web site at www.bea.gov/international/bp_web for
more details.)

  *    Goods export and goods import end-use commodity classification codes
have been updated for 2004-2006 to incorporate revisions made by the World
Customs Organization to the international Harmonized System of commodity
classification codes.

  *    Interest receipts for foreign bonds and dividend receipts for foreign
stocks are revised for 2005-2006 to incorporate results of the U.S. Treasury
Departments annual survey of securities claims for December 2005.

  *    Interest payments for U.S. corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury bonds, and U.S.
agency bonds and dividend payments for U.S. stocks are revised for 2004-2006 to
incorporate results from the U.S. Treasury Departments annual surveys of
securities liabilities for June 2005 (revised) and for June 2006.

  *    The statistical adjustment for re-valuing some goods imports of computer
software from media to full value has been updated for 1997-2006.

       Revised estimates for the detailed components of the U.S. international
transactions accounts for 2005-2006 are shown in table 1.  Summary information
on revisions for 1997-2006 is shown in table 2.

       Preliminary estimates for 2006 and revised estimates for 2003-2005 for
the U.S. net international investment position will be presented in a news
release on June 28.

       The fourth-quarter 2006 international transactions are revised from
previously published estimates.  Revisions reflect both newly available source
data for the fourth quarter and changes from all of the above sources of
revision.  The current-account deficit was revised to $187.9 billion from
$195.8 billion.  The goods deficit was revised to $200.3 billion from $197.9
billion; the services surplus was revised to $23.4 billion from $19.4 billion;
the surplus on income was revised to $9.7 billion from $3.0 billion; and
unilateral current transfers were revised to net outflows of $20.7 billion from
$20.2 billion.  Net financial inflows were revised to $225.2 billion from
$164.6 billion.
