Prefatory Note
The attached document represents the most complete and accurate version
available based on original copies culled from the files of the FOMC Secretariat at the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. This electronic document was
created through a comprehensive digitization process which included identifying the bestpreserved paper copies, scanning those copies, 1 and then making the scanned versions
text-searchable. 2 Though a stringent quality assurance process was employed, some
imperfections may remain.
Please note that this document may contain occasional gaps in the text. These
gaps are the result of a redaction process that removed information obtained on a
confidential basis. All redacted passages are exempt from disclosure under applicable
provisions of the Freedom of Information Act.
1
In some cases, original copies needed to be photocopied before being scanned into electronic format. All
scanned images were deskewed (to remove the effects of printer- and scanner-introduced tilting) and lightly
cleaned (to remove dark spots caused by staple holes, hole punches, and other blemishes caused after initial
printing).
2
A two-step process was used. An advanced optimal character recognition computer program (OCR) first
created electronic text from the document image. Where the OCR results were inconclusive, staff checked
and corrected the text as necessary. Please note that the numbers and text in charts and tables were not
reliably recognized by the OCR process and were not checked or corrected by staff.

SUPPLEMENTAL NOTES
THE DOMESTIC NONFINANCIAL ECONOMY
Housing Construction
Total private housing starts rose 3.9 percent in November to an
annual rate of 1.43 million units.
The increase reflected a jump in
single-family housing construction.
Revisions to the September and
October estimates of total starts were small and about offsetting.
Total issuance of building permits in November rose 4.8 percent to a
1.37 million unit annual rate, corroborating the strength in starts.
In the single-family sector, starts increased to a 1.27 million
unit pace--the highest level since early 1987.
By contrast,
multifamily starts edged down 0.6 percent to 163.000 units (annual
rate).
On a regional basis, starts jumped 17 percent in the
Northeast, approximately offsetting a drop in October.
Starts also
rose in the South, but they declined slightly in the Midwest and the
West.

THE INTERNATIONAL ECONOMY
U.S. Merchandise Trade
In October, the merchandise trade deficit was $10.5 billion
(seasonally adjusted, Census basis), marginally smaller than in
September, but slightly above the rate for the third quarter as a
whole.
Exports rose 3 percent in October, with nearly all of the
increase in non-agricultural exports.
Exports of automotive
products rose strongly, with exports to Canada accounting for most
of this increase.
Exports of aircraft, which are often marked by
large month-to-month fluctuations, also rebounded from a September
downturn.
Smaller increases were recorded for exports of fuels
(particularly nuclear fuels) and machinery other than computers
(particularly semiconductors and telecommunications products).
Exports of computers and consumer goods were flat in October.
A rise of 2 percent in imports in October was spread across all
major trade categories.
Capital goods imports rose moderately,
driven by an 8 percent increase in imports of computers.
Increased
imports of automotive products were entirely from sources other than
Canada.
The increase in oil imports in October was split evenly
between higher price and quantity.
