FEDERAL RESERVE press release

For immediate release

January 9, 1992

Preliminary figures indicate that operating income
of the Federal Reserve Banks amounted to $22,551 billion
during 1991.
Net income before payment of dividends,
additions to surplus, and payments to the Treasury totaled
$21,158 billion.
About $20,778 billion was paid to the U.S.
Treasury during 1991.
Federal Reserve System income is derived primarily
from interest earned on U.S. government securities that the
Federal Reserve has acquired through open market operations.
Income from the provision of financial services amounted to
$737 million.
Operating expenses of the 12 Reserve Banks and
branches totaled $1,268 billion.
In addition, $160 million
for earnings credits were granted to depository institutions
under the Monetary Control Act of 1980.
Assessments to
Reserve Banks for Board expenditures totaled $110 million
and the cost of currency amounted to $261 million.
Net additions to income amounted to $496 million,
primarily resulting from realized and unrealized gains on
assets denominated in foreign currencies and gains on the
sales of securities from the System Open Market Account
portfolio.
Statutory dividends to member banks were $153
million.
Under the policy established by the Board of
Governors at the end of 1964, all net income after the
statutory dividend to member banks and the amount necessary
to equate surplus to paid-in capital is transferred to the
U.S. Treasury as interest on Federal Reserve notes.
