Government Drops Its Global Investment Assessment
The BEA will not publish the full annual U S Net International Investment Position for 1989. A scaled down report will omit the actual investment position, offering enough data to calculate the deficit by simple math. Critics say political pressure fuels the omission while economists project a net debtor position near 650 billion dollars for 1989.
