1/ Estimated foreign holdings of U.S. Treasury marketable and non-marketable bills, bonds, and notes reported monthly under
the Treasury International Capital (TIC) reporting system. Holdings of Treasury bonds and notes are reported on TIC Form
SLT, "Aggregate Holdings of Long-Term Securities by U.S. and Foreign Residents," including preliminary SLT data for the
most recent month. The data in this table are collected primarily from U.S.-based custodians. 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).
2/ United Kingdom includes Channel Islands and Isle of Man.

Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Algeria, Gabon, Libya, and Nigeria.
