p Preliminary.

r Revised.

1. Prior to 1992, "depository institutions" exclude, and "finance, except depository institutions" include, savings institutions and credit unions. Beginning with 1992, savings institutions and credit unions have been reclassified from "finance, except depository institutions" to "depository institutions."

2. For investments in which more than one investor participated, each investor and each investor's outlays are classified by country of each ultimate beneficial owner.

3. See footnote 4 in text for explanation.
