Notes    
This series reports foreign investor holdings, at market value, of short-term U.S. Treasury bills.

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) BL2 form (financial firms' dollar liabilities on behalf of customers, with an original maturity of one year or less) and staff estimates of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, detailed in https://doi.org/10.17016/2380-7172.4084 (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.
