Re: foreign holdings of US govt securities

There is ample evidence available in the weekly Fed Reports that foreign central
banks have been liquidating US debt holdings at a steady rate - balances have
dropped by 10% from April '97 peak of 650+ billion. This appears to be offset by
the decline in government demand for borrowing. The situation should not be a
problem until such time as the US dollar reverses course - the whole debt pile
may then indeed be a bubble.
