Saudi Arabia and Kuwait accounted for more than half of the increase. Nigeria and Venezuela experienced declines in their reserves. OPEC's portfolio continued to shift toward longer term, higher yield assets. Saudi Arabia and Kuwait in particular sought to increase rates of return on their assets by investing heavily in longer term government and corporate issues. The $26.9 billion increase in the value of OPEC members' foreign holdings fell $12.8 billion short of their combined current account surplus. The difference was largely the result of: ? A sharp rise in receivables from the oil companies due to increasing oil sales and the two- to three-month lag between liftings and payments. ? Net repayments of debt by the OPEC countries. ? Private investment abroad.

A $10.4 billion increase in Saudi Arabia's holdings accounted for nearly 40 percent of the rise. Kuwait, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates also posted large gains in foreign holdings last year. Owing in part to the strengthening of oil demand in 1976, nearly all OPEC members shared in the reserve increase.

Two countries-Nigeria and Venezuela-had to dip into reserves in 1976. About 85 percent of OPEC's 1976 invest- ments went into medium- and long-term assets, including substantial investments in equities and corporate fixed-interest issues. The share of OPEC funds going into bank deposits declined from 31 percent in 1975 to 17 percent in 1976. The decline reflects mainly a reduction in the use of short-term deposits. Many OPEC mem- bers formerly used such deposits as a vehicle for investing surplus funds without having to make difficult investment decisions.

Some OPEC funds managed by US financial Institutions, for example, are invested in non-US securities; no attempt is made to determine whether the non-US security was purchased from another US holder or from a non-US resident. The OPEC countries reduced the pace of their investments in international organizations last year. Owing to the relatively poor yields offered by World Bank bonds, OPEC members put less than $500 million in these issues in 1976, compared with slightly over $1 billion in 1975. The end in early 1976 of the borrowing phase of the International Monetary Fund's oil facility resulted in a decline in the flow of OPEC funds to the IMF. Currency Denomination OPEC members placed roughly $22 billion of their 1976 investments in dollar-denomiria- ted assets. Their holdings of sterling-denomina- ted assets fell by $2.8 billion last year because of a continuing sell off of these assets and an $800 million decline in the dollar value of their remaining sterling portfolio. Investment in con- tinental hard currencies picked up moderately in 1976, in part because of the increased level of equity purchases. Profile of Official Foreign Assets, 31 December 1976 Concentrations Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, and the UAE accounted for the bulk of the OPEC countries' $132 billion official assets at yearend 1976. ? Saudi Arabia alone held $49 billion in for- eign official assets-nearly two-fifths of total OPEC holdings. ? Kuwait, the UAE, and Qatar accounted for about another third of OPEC foreign wealth.

About one-fourth of OPEC assets were held in the United States, more than one-half consisted of US Government and US agency securities owned primarily by Saudi Arabia. ? Less than 10 percent was held by the IMF and World Bank. ? Only about 1 percent was located in Com- munist countries, primarily held by Iraq. ? The remaining 14 percent was spread among a number of countries including those in the Middle East. Currency Composition The great bulk of OPEC foreign wealth was invested in dollar-denominated assets at yearend 1976 (table 8). ? Dollar-denominated assets accounted for more than three-quarters of the total. Only Iraq, Gabon, and Nigeria held less than 50 percent of their foreign wealth in dollars. ? Sterling accounted for less than 5 percent of OPEC wealth at yearend 1976. Saudi Ara- bia, Kuwait, and Nigeria held nearly all of the sterling assets.

Gold and IMF assets accounted for about 5 percent. Reconciliation of the Change in Assets with the OPEC Current Account Surplus OPEC countries' foreign exchange receipts totaled $44.4 billion during 1976, including the current account surplus of $39.7 billion and $4.7 billion in gross foreign borrowing (table 9). The $17.5 billion difference between OPEC members' receipts and the $26.9 billion rise in their foreign assets is accounted for by the following items: Change in credits to oil companies. Oil company indebtedness to the OPEC countries rose by $7.5 billion during 1976 to $20.6 bil- lion at yearend. This resulted from (a) a rise in oil liftings following increased world demand and (b) the continuation of the two- to three- month lag between shipments and payments for oil. Debt repayment. OPEC countries repaid $2.9 billion of their outstanding debt in 1976.

Nigeria made payments of $350 million, and Vene- zuelan payments totaled more than $500 mil- lion in 1976. Net private investment in the United States and the United Kingdom. This category consisted of an increase in private investment in the United States of $1.6 billion and an increase in private bank deposits in the United Kingdom of $900 million. Adjustments for changes in foreign ex- change. OPEC lost an estimated $200 million in the dollar value of those OPEC assets denomina- ted in currencies other than the dollar. Prepayment to United States for Imports. OPEC countries increased military prepayments by $2.9 billion in 1976. Liabilities to OPEC countries reported by non-banking concerns in the United States grew by about $400 million. Errors and omissions. This category, in- cluding private investment other than in the US or in UK bank deposits, accounted for the re- maining $3.5 billion.
