FRED Adds Data from the Treasury International Capital System

FRED has added 4260 data series about cross-border portfolio investment flows and positions between U.S. residents (including U.S.-based branches of firms headquartered in other countries) and foreign residents (including offshore branches of U.S. firms), reported by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

The Treasury International Capital (TIC) reporting system provides:

• Monthly data on transactions and holdings of long-term securities;
• Annual detailed position data on holdings of long-term and short-term securities;
• Monthly and quarterly position data on claims and liabilities (including short-term securities) reported by banks and broker/dealers of securities;
• Quarterly position data on selected claims and liabilities reported by non-banks and non-broker/dealers; and
• Quarterly position and transactions data on financial derivatives reported by major participants in those markets.
