Imports of goods and services from, and income paid to, foreign residents increased $92.2 billion to $1.69 trillion, reflecting increases in goods imports and in primary (earned) income payments. Capital-transfer receipts decreased $1.1 billion to $2.3 billion in the second quarter. Capital-transfer payments decreased $0.9 billion to $1.0 billion. Net financial-account transactions were –$369.7 billion in the second quarter, reflecting net U.S. borrowing from foreign residents.1 Second-quarter transactions increased U.S. residents’ foreign financial assets by $663.3 billion and increased U.S. liabilities to foreign residents by $978.9 billion. The U.S. net international investment position, the difference between U.S. residents’ foreign financial assets and liabilities, was –$22.42 trillion at the end of the second quarter of 2026. Assets totaled $46.97 trillion, and liabilities totaled $69.39 trillion. At the end of the first quarter of 2026, the net investment position was –$21.27 trillion (revised).
