The CSLT: Unifying U.S. Cross-Border Securities Holdings and Transactions Data


Abstract: The Treasury International Capital (TIC) system offers comprehensive data on U.S. cross-border securities holdings and transactions, facilitating a detailed understanding of U.S. capital flows. For users new to TIC data, a key fact shapes how to use these statistics: holdings data have been collected for a longer historical period and are measured with greater precision than transactions data.
