1/ The data in this table are collected primarily from U.S.-based custodians and
broker-dealers. Since U.S. securities held in
overseas custody accounts may not be attributed to the actual owners, the data
may not provide a precise accounting of
individual country ownership of Treasury securities
(see TIC FAQ #7 at: http://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/data-chart-
center/tic/Pages/ticfaq1.aspx).

Estimated foreign holdings of U.S. Treasury marketable and non-marketable

bills, bonds, and notes reported under the Treasury
International Capital (TIC) reporting system are based on monthly data on
holdings of Treasury bonds and notes
as reported on TIC Form SLT, Aggregate Holdings of Long-Term Securities by
U.S. and Foreign Residents
and on TIC Form BL2, Report of Customers' U.S. Dollar Liabilities to Foreign
Residents.
