Includes required reserves against deposits at member banks and Edge Act corporations and beginning
November 13, 1980, at other depository institutions. Effective November 13, 1980 required reserves of member
banks and Edge Act corporations were reduced about $4.3 billion and required reserves of other depository
institutions were increased about $1.4 billion due to the implementation of the Monetary Control Act of 1980.
Also in conjunction with the Monetary Control Act, required reserves of certain nomaeraber banks and foreign
related institutions increased pursuant to the transitional phase-in program by approximately $245 million
effective February 18, 1981 and by another $245 million effective May 20, 1981.
2 Reserve balances with Federal Reserve Banks plus vault cash at institutions with required reserve balances
plus vault cash equal to required reserves at other institutions,
3 includes reserve balances at Federal Reserve Banks in the current week plus vault cash held two weeks earlier
used to satisfy reserve requirements at all depository institutions plus currency outside the U.S. Treasury,
Federal Reserve Banks, the vault of depository institutions, and surplus vault cash at depository institutions.
4 Reserve aggregates series have been adjusted to remove discontinuities associated with the implementation of
the Monetary Control Act, marginal reserve requirements, the inclusions of Edge Act Corporation Reserves, and
other changes in Regulations D and K. Prior to the February 18, 1981, reserve aggregates series have been
adjusted historically to conform to the structure of reserve requirements currently in effect. Beginning
February 18, the series have been adjusted to remove the effects of scheduled transitions! changes in reserve
requirements under the MCA.
5 Money stock data reflect benchmark revisions made on June 26, 1981, for more information, see June 26, 1981
H.6 Statistical Release.
6 On July 15, 1981 bank-related commercial paper outstanding was $29,167 million.
7 Yield at 20-year constant maturity. Source: U.S. Treasury.
8 Reserve measures reflect increases in required reserves, largely in November 1980, associated with
the reduction of weekend avoidance activities of a few large banks. The reduction of these activities leads
to essentially a one-time increase—currently estimated at $550 to $600 million—in the average level of
required reserves that need to be held for a given level of deposits entering the money supply. This increase
in required reserves would raise reserve aggregates for technical reasons unrelated to monetary policy. Growth
rates shown in parentheses reflect adjustment for this technical factor. No significant influence on money
supply data has been identified as a result of this technical change.
NOTE: All percentage changes are at seasonally adjusted annual rates, not compounded.
p—Indicates preliminary data.
Special caution should be taken in interpreting week-to-week changes in money
supply data, which are often highly volatile and subject to revision in subsequent weeks and months.
