Financial Developments
in the First Quarter of 1975
This report, which was sent to the Joint Eco­
nomic Committee of the U.S. Congress on May
22, 1975, highlights the important developments
in financial markets during the winter and early
spring.
Short-term market rates of interest declined fur­
ther in the first quarter of 1975, as the continued
weakness of the economy reduced credit de­
mands and prompted additional easing actions
by the Federal Reserve System. The Federal
funds rate— the rate banks pay when they bor­
row reserve funds from one another— fell almost
3 percentage points over the quarter, and other
private short-term rates registered similar de­
clines. In long-term securities markets, rate
movements were mixed. After dropping signifi­
cantly early in the quarter, bond yields moved
upward in response to a record volume of new
issues and concerns about the credit market
impact of the prospective Federal budget deficit.
Rates on residential mortgages in the primary
market trended downward during most of the
quarter, mainly reflecting record inflows of sav­
ings to nonbank thrift institutions; in late March
and early April, however, mortgage rates firmed
in reflection of the movements of other long­
term rates.
Because of the continued decline in economic
activity, the Federal Reserve sought during the
quarter to foster further easing of credit condi­
tions and more rapid growth in the monetary
aggregates than had occurred, on average, over
earlier months. The System reduced required
reserves by about $1.1 billion in January in
order to improve member bank liquidity, and
the discount rate was lowered in three steps from
7% per cent in January to 6 V* per cent in March.
The System also bought substantial quantities
of longer-term Treasury securities in the course
of its open market operations, particularly in
March when there was a large overhang of
securities in the capital markets.



The narrowly defined money stock grew more
slowly in the first quarter of 1975 than in the
fourth quarter of 1974, reflecting primarily a
sharp contraction in January. However, most of
the broader money stock measures posted more
rapid rates of increase. Growth in nearly all of
the aggregates accelerated as the quarter pro­
gressed.

MONETARY
AGGREGATES AND
MEMBER BANK RESERVES
Measured on an end-month-of-quarter basis, the
narrow money stock—Mr— expanded at a 2.4
per cent seasonally adjusted annual rate in the
first quarter, as compared to the 5.3 per cent
rate of the preceding 3 months. The further
sharp drop in economic activity during the
quarter and the weak expansion of credit limited
demands for cash balances.
As in most months of 1974, the growth of
currency in the first 3 months of 1975 was
consistently more rapid than that of demand
deposits. For the quarter as a whole the currency
component of M t rose at a 9.4 per cent annual
rate, while the demand deposit component in­
creased at a 0.2 per cent rate. Demand deposits
in fact declined absolutely in January before
moving upward strongly in February and
March. A significant element in the strength of
demand deposits late in the quarter appears to
have been the early payment of a large volume
of Federal income tax refunds, which individ­
uals may have placed temporarily in checking
accounts pending use in the purchase of goods
or earning assets.
The decline in interest rates did have a no­
ticeable impact on the growth of broader money
stock measures that include consumer-type time
and savings deposits. As the spread between
rates on market instruments and those on thrift

deposits narrowed, an increasing share of funds
flows was directed into banks and nonbank
depositary institutions. Time and savings de­
posits other than large negotiable certificates of
deposit (CD’s) at commercial banks rose at a
13.6 per cent annual rate between December and
March, up from the 7.9 per cent rate of the
preceding 3-month period. At nonbank deposi­
tary institutions— savings and loan associations,
mutual savings banks, and credit unions— the
pick-up in deposit growth was even more sub­
stantial, from 7.4 per cent in the fourth quarter
to 13.6 per cent in the first. Thus, the strength
in interest-bearing accounts was great enough
to offset the weakness in
and to generate
larger rates of growth in M2 and M3 than during
the preceding quarter.
The income velocity of money, defined as the
ratio of gross national product to M x or M2,
fell sharply in the first quarter. Although veloc-

ity has trended upward during the postwar
period— reflecting the secular rise in interest
rates, economies of scale in transactions re­
quirements, and improvements in cash manage­
ment by individuals and firms— some decline in
velocity typically has occurred during signifi­
cant recessions. The decline in yields on alter­
native assets during such periods lowers the
relative costs of holding larger cash balances
or thrift deposits, and the greater economic
uncertainty tends to increase precautionary de­
mands for deposits; thus businesses and house­
holds hold larger money balances relative to
transactions needs, and the turnover rate falls.
As these factors reverse themselves and as con­
fidence develops during the recovery phase of
the business cycle, velocity normally rises at
an above-trend rate.
In view of the strength in other time deposits
and the weakness in loan demand during the

reduction in total reserves because required re­
serves also fell at about an 8 per cent annual
rate. The reduced use of nondeposit sources
of funds released reserves to support growth of
deposits; in addition, the average ratio of re­
quired reserves to deposits fell because of a shift
in the composition of time deposits toward
longer maturities, which are subject to lower
reserve requirements, and because lagged re­
serve requirement accounting reduced the need
for reserves during the quarter, given the par­
ticular pattern of deposit growth that occurred.

BANK CREDIT AND
COMMERCIAL PAPER
During the first quarter of 1975, total loans and
investments at commercial banks, measured
from the end of December to the last Wednesday
of March, rose at a seasonally adjusted annual
rate of about 4.4 per cent. Virtually all of the
expansion was due to the increase in bank

first quarter, banks reduced interest rates paid
on new large CD’s and permitted some run-offs
in maturing CD’s. Consequently, the growth in
M4, which is the sum of M2 plus large negotia­
ble CD’s, was somewhat less rapid in the first
quarter than in the preceding 3-month period.
For the same reason, the acceleration in the rate
of growth of M5, which is the sum of M3 plus
large negotiable CD’s, was less marked than
that of M3. With total member bank deposits
expanding at a slower pace, the adjusted credit
proxy increased at a slower rate than in the
October-December period.
Total reserves declined at an 8 per cent annual
rate between December and March. Most of the
drop was attributable to repayments of member
bank borrowing from the Federal Reserve. Such
borrowings averaged $100 million in March, as
compared with $700 million in December 1974.
Nonborrowed reserves, meanwhile, declined
slightly during the quarter.
The substantial first-quarter growth in the
monetary aggregates was possible despite the

holdings of U.S. Government securities. Treas­
ury borrowing rose sharply, particularly in
March; partly in the exercise of their normal
underwriting function, but primarily because of
weak loan demand and a desire to improve
liquidity, banks increased their holdings of
Treasury securities by $10 billion. Bank hold­
ings of other securities declined slightly on a
seasonally adjusted basis.
Total loans outstanding declined somewhat
further in the January-March period. The
growth of real estate loans at commercial banks
remained sluggish— reflecting, in part, banks’
concern about liquidity. Consumer loans at
banks also remained weak, on balance, as de­
mands of households for durable goods were
limited and banks remained cautious in their
consumer lending policies.
Business loans expanded at a progressively
slower pace during the latter half of 1974 and
then declined by $2.1 billion, seasonally ad­
justed, in the first quarter of this year. The
weakness in business loans reflected both the




continuation of generally cautious bank lending
policies and the reduced demand for short-term
business credit associated with the liquidation
of inventories and sale of long-term securities
in the first quarter.
Interest rates on commercial paper dropped
from 9 per cent in December 1974 to about 6
per cent in February, and, after some further
easing, returned to that level in late March and
early April. The commercial bank prime rate
also fell 3 percentage points—from IOV2 per
cent in early January to 7V2 per cent at most
banks in March— so the spread of the prime rate
over commercial paper rates remained at an
historically high level throughout the quarter.
Thus, prime borrowers probably continued to
shift some of their credit demands from banks
to the commercial paper market. Still, the out­
standing volume of commercial paper issued by
nonfinancial companies increased only moder­
ately over the quarter as a whole, and with
business loans at commercial banks declining,
the total volume of short-term business credit
outstanding showed a small absolute reduction
for the first time since 1971.

NONBANK
INTERMEDIARIES AND THE
MORTGAGE MARKET
Deposit inflows at nonbank intermediaries that
are important residential mortgage lenders con­
tinued to improve over the first quarter. Deposits
at savings and loan associations and mutual
savings banks expanded at a seasonally adjusted
annual rate of 14.9 per cent. As market interest
rates declined further from their late summer
highs, these institutions recorded steadily im­
proved deposit flows, with March inflows the
highest for any month on record at both savings
and loan associations and mutual savings banks.
Time certificates were favored by savers early
in the quarter, but passbook accounts recorded
sizable inflows in late February and March as
many investors chose to emphasize maximum
liquidity in their acquisitions and as short-term
interest rates declined to levels that made pass­
book rates more attractive.

Financial D evelo p m en ts, Q l 1975

In response to these strong inflows, the non­
bank thrift institutions continued to rebuild their
liquid asset portfolios and to repay borrowings.
Savings and loan associations reduced their in­
debtedness to Federal home loan banks at a
seasonally adjusted annual rate of $5 billion
over the quarter, the first decline in 11 quarters.
These institutions also repaid short-term bank
loans, and the surge in deposits led the Federal
Home Loan Bank Board (FHLBB) to raise the
required liquidity ratio from 5 per cent to 5Vi
per cent, effective April 1, 1975, and then to
6 per cent on May 1.

The increase in net mortgage debt formation
by the nonbank intermediaries was more than
offset, however, by a reduction at commercial
banks. Overall, the expansion in net mortgage
debt in the first quarter declined to the lowest
level since 1970, although there was a modest
rise in the residential component. Many com­
mercial banks, already facing possible losses on
loans related to real estate finance, maintained
relatively restrictive lending policies in the face
of generally slack demands for both permanent
mortgages and construction loans.
Residential mortgage yields in the primary
market continued to move lower throughout the
first quarter. Average interest rates on new
commitments by savings and loan associations
for conventional home mortgages dropped
below 9 per cent in early April, more than 1
percentage point under the peak reached last
October. Mortgage yields in the secondary
market also declined further in January and
February, and the downtrend prompted another
reduction in the ceiling rate on mortgages that
are insured by the Federal Housing Administra­
tion (FHA) or guaranteed by the Veterans Ad­
ministration (VA) from SV2 to 8 per cent in early
March. However, the decline in secondary
mortgage market yields halted in mid-March,
and yields moved upward slightly for the first
time since September. The rise led to a reversal
in late April of the earlier FHA-VA action.

Reflecting the pick-up in new commitment
activity that began in the final quarter of 1974,
net mortgage lending by savings and loans and
mutual savings banks increased substantially in
the first quarter of 1975. With the improvement
in flows of funds to the depositary institutions,
direct and indirect support of the mortgage
market by the Federally sponsored credit agen­
cies generally declined in the first quarter, al­
though purchases of loans by the Government
National Mortgage Association (GNMA) under
rate-subsidy programs enacted last year re­
mained large.

in the first quarter of 1975, the largest gross
volume for any 3-month period on record. In­
dustrial corporations were the principal bor­
rowers— accounting for approximately twothirds of the total— as these companies sought
long-term funds with which to reduce their
short-term liabilities and to finance capital ex­
penditures. The record volume in the first quar­
ter continued the upsurge in bond financing that
began last fall when interest rates started to
decline from their record high levels.
Corporate bond yields moved lower during
January and into February despite the large
volume of new issues. The average rate on new
Aaa-rated utility bonds fell more than one-half
of a percentage point from year-end 1974 to less
than 9 per cent by mid-February, but the decline
was erased as yields rose over the remainder
of the quarter. Contributing to this reversal in
bond yields were the apprehensions of investors
about the size and impact of the Federal deficit,
the continued sizable volume of long-term cor-

porate offerings, and a leveling-off of short-term
rates, which created some uncertainty in the
market about the future course of monetary
policy.
Although long-term interest rates were little
changed at the end of March from their levels
at the end of 1974, stock prices had increased
about 20 per cent over the quarter. The surge
in equity prices resulted in an increase in stock
issuance, almost entirely by public utilities.
Nevertheless, new stock offerings during the
quarter remained below levels recorded in pre­
vious years.
Yields in the municipal bond market moved
sharply lower in concert with other long-term
interest rates in January, but the rally ended
abruptly in mid-February and yields returned to
near-record levels by the end of March. A pall
was cast over the municipal market in late
February when the New York Urban Develop­
ment Corporation (UDC) defaulted on a short­
term note issue and bank loan. This default




347

caused municipal investors to become increas­
ingly quality-conscious, especially towards socalled “ moral obligation” bonds, which have
been issued during the past decade by a number
of State and local agencies such as UDC. These
bonds do not have the full faith and credit pledge
of a State government in the loan agreement,
but instead include a clause indicating that the
State is morally committed to budget sufficient
funds for debt service in the event that the
issuing authority is unable to meet its obliga­
tions. In addition, the municipal market contin­
ued to be disturbed by the financial problems
of a number of major cities.
Yields on short-term Treasury issues dropped
approximately one percentage point in January,
along with other short-term interest rates, in
response to sharply reduced short-term credit
demands and the further easing in money market
conditions. They then fluctuated in a relatively
narrow range over the remainder of the quarter
and into April. Yields on longer-term Treasury
coupon issues also moved lower in the first half
of the quarter, but then backed up to levels only
slightly below last fall’s peak.
As noted earlier, one of the factors contribut­
ing to the reversal in long-term rates at mid­
quarter was increasing concern by market par­
ticipants over the impact of the rising Federal
deficit. As the quarter progressed, estimates of
the deficit were increased in part because of the
passage of contracyclical fiscal measures that
added to the deficit. For example, the Tax

Reduction Act of 1975, enacted in late March,
added approximately $13 billion to the deficit
for fiscal 1975.
The Treasury met its cash requirements over
the quarter by increasing the supply of Treasury
bills by $4.2 billion and of coupon issues by
$12.9 billion. The coupon issues were concen­
trated in maturities of less than 7 years. A large
portion of the sizable increase in Treasury debt
during the first quarter was purchased by com­
mercial banks, thrift institutions, and foreign
official institutions. Nations that are not mem­
bers of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting
Countries (OPEC) bought substantial amounts
of Treasury debt in February and March, as they
invested dollars acquired in foreign exchange
market operations intended to limit the appreci­
ation of their currencies relative to the dollar.
The dollar was under downward pressure during

348

Federal Reserve Bulletin □ June 1975

most of the first quarter, owing in part to the
effects on capital flows of the greater decline
in U.S. than in foreign interest rates. Acquisi­
tions of Treasury securities by oil-exporting
countries declined, reflecting continued efforts
by these nations to diversify their investments.
The Federal Reserve System also purchased
large amounts of Treasury and Federal agency
coupon issues during the quarter. Between the




end of December and the end of March, the
System increased its holdings of Treasury and
Federal agency coupon issues by more than $2.3
billion, while reducing its holdings of shorterterm Treasury bills by about $2 billion. The
Federal Reserve acquired an additional $2.4
billion of Treasury debt in April, when it was
a net purchaser of both short-term and long-term
Treasury securities.

Member Bank Income in 1974
Member banks continued to increase their net
income in 1974, but the rate of growth of 7
per cent was only about half as large as in 1973.
Substantial increases in holdings of earning
assets, especially loans, were accompanied by
a sharp rise in the rate of return on both loans
and investments. Revenues and expenses both
grew at rapid rates, but the increases were
slightly less than the record growth rates of
1973. For the second consecutive year member
banks recorded small net losses on securities.

SUMMARY
Operating income at member banks continued
to increase at a near-record rate in 1974. Reve­
nues from loans were an especially important
element in the increase— accounting for 88 per
cent of the total. With short-term interest rates
reaching high levels and with generally strong
demands for credit, member banks were able
to realize sharply increased rates of return on
their expanding loan portfolios. Investment in­
come also added appreciably to growth in reve­
nues, as both the average amount of investments
and the average rate of return on investments
increased. Although increases in average hold­
ings of both loans and investments were some­
what less than in 1973, the increases in the rates
of return on these assets were greater.
In 1974 operating expenses of member banks
increased very rapidly, although at a somewhat
slower rate than in 1973. Nearly all expense
categories recorded rapid rates of increase. As
in other recent years interest paid on time and
savings deposits represented the largest single
expense item for member banks; in fact it ac­
counted for more than half of the rise in total
operating expenses during 1974. The increase
N o t e . — This article was prepared by Anthony W .
Cyrnak of the Board’s D ivision of Research and Statis­
tics.




reflected a somewhat smaller rise in time deposit
liabilities than in 1973 but a larger rise in
average rate of interest paid for such deposits.
Other interest costs— interest on Federal funds
purchased and securities sold under repurchase
agreements, on other borrowed money, and on
capital notes and debentures— also increased
substantially, but in general far less than in
1973.
Salaries and wages, which are the second
largest expense item, increased nearly half again
as fast as in 1973. Rates of increase in other
expense items varied widely. The largest in­
crease was in provision for loan losses, which
rose 87 per cent— nearly three times the rate
recorded in 1973— as many member banks at­
tempted to bolster their loan loss reserves in
view of expanded loan portfolios, larger actual
current net losses, and uncertain economic con­
ditions in some industries. Actual net loan losses
recorded for the year were substantial— increas­
ing at more than twice the rate of the previous
year.
Reflecting these changes, income before in­
come taxes and net securities gains or losses
expanded 5.1 per cent, significantly less than
in 1973. Somewhat larger net after-tax losses
on securities in 1974 had a further negative
effect on income during the year. A decrease
in applicable income taxes on current opera­
tions, however, partially offset this influence,
and net income for the year reached a record
$5,364 million, 7.0 per cent more than in 1973.
The ratio of member bank net income to
equity capital plus reserves decreased in 1974
after having risen substantially during the pre­
vious year but remained above the level of other
recent years. Cash dividends declared increased
in 1974 at a rate faster than that of net income;
thus, the ratio of cash dividends declared to net
income increased.
Unlike 1972 and 1973, the most rapid rise
in net income was at large member banks in

350

Federal Reserve Bulletin □ June 1975

Chicago rather than New York, but in the last
2 years the differences between banks in the two
cities have been relatively small. Net income
at other large member banks rose far less rapidly
than at New York and Chicago banks, but faster
than at smaller banks.

OPERATING INCOME
The second consecutive year of rapid increase
in total operating income at member banks
brought such revenue in 1974 to $53,828 mil­

lion— $12,120 million, or 29 per cent, over the
1973 level (Table 1). As in other recent years,
most of this increase— 88 per cent in 1974— was
attributable to higher revenues on loans. Al­
though income from securities rose somewhat
faster than in 1973 and 1972, income from this
source continued to decline as a proportion of
total operating income.
Interest and fees on loans (including Federal
funds sold and securities purchased under resale
agreements) increased $10,669 million, or 35.4
per cent, in 1974, somewhat less rapidly than

Average holdings of loans at member banks
increased $51.3 billion, or 14.2 per cent.
Growth in holdings was rapid early in 1974,
then moderated as economic conditions became
increasingly less favorable. For the year, the
commercial and industrial loan category was the
only major loan category that expanded faster
than in 1973, and its increase, which amounted
to 17.7 per cent, accounted for more than twofifths of the increase in average total loans.
The needs of businesses to finance rising
inventories at higher prices provided a stimulus
for bank credit expansion throughout much of
1974. And with the bank prime lending rate
rising less rapidly than the cost of other short­
term financing, many business borrowers shifted
their short-term credit demands from other
sources— such as commercial paper— to bank
credit. Later in the year, as a less restrictive
monetary policy and decreasing aggregate de­
mand caused a general easing in credit condi­
tions, other short-term rates declined more rap­
idly than the prime rate, and this induced some
shifting of loan demand away from banks.
Real estate loans, while increasing 14.0 per
cent during 1974, expanded less rapidly as the
year progressed, along with the decline in con­
struction of new homes. Nonetheless, the
proportion of total loan growth accounted for
by such loans in 1974 remained the same as
in 1973— 21.9 per cent. The slower growth in
consumer loans— 7.4 per cent, or about half the
1973 rate— reflected a decline in real spending
for both durable and nondurable goods. Loans
for purchasing and carrying securities, after
having risen slightly in 1973, declined sharply
in 1974 and provided a further dampening effect
on over-all loan expansion.
Faced with strong loan demand during much
of the year, member banks added only
slightly— 2.1 per cent— to their holdings of se­
curities, compared with a 3 per cent increase
in 1973. Although holdings of longer-term
Treasury issues rose, aggregate holdings of
Treasury securities declined 11.0 per cent.
However, an increase of 59 basis points in the
rate of return on these securities limited the
decline in income from this source to $49 mil­
lion, or 2.0 per cent. Sizable increases in the
rate of return on other securities, coupled with

expanded holdings, enabled member banks to
record a $706 million, or 10.8 per cent, increase
in revenue from investments in 1974 as com­
pared with a 7.3 per cent rise in 1973.
Income from trust departments, service
charges on deposit accounts, and other charges
and fees in the aggregate increased $270 mil­
lion, or 8.2 per cent. This compares with an
increase of $245 million, or 8.1 per cent, in
1973. “ Other operating income,” which in­
cludes net income from the trading account, and
from Edge Act subsidiaries and foreign
branches, increased $474 million, or 26.5 per
cent, in 1974. This growth, which was about
the same as in 1973, reflected a continued ex­
pansion in the overseas activities of member
banks. Trading-account income also increased
strongly again, although a little less than in
1973.

OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses of member banks in 1974
again increased rapidly, although somewhat
below the record rate reached in 1973. The




increases were large in nearly all expense cate­
gories— especially in interest paid on time and
savings deposits— reflecting high interest rates,
the impact of inflation on other elements of cost,
and growth in the volume of banking operations.
Interest paid on time and savings deposits
rose $6,429 million, or 41.8 per cent, in 1974,
close to the rate in 1973. The growth of time
and savings deposits during the year, while
substantial, was slightly below the rate in 1973.
Savings deposits in particular grew more
slowly, increasing at only about half the modest
4.2 per cent rate in 1973, and growth in con­
sumer-type time certificates also was modest.
This slow growth reflected in part the diversion
of consumer savings to market instruments
yielding higher returns. On the other hand, large
negotiable certificates of deposit (CD’s) again
expanded at a rapid rate as banks relied heavily
on this source of funds to meet strong credit
demands.
However, average interest paid on all time
deposits increased even more sharply in 1974
than in 1973 to 7.14 per cent, a level substan­
tially above that of any previous year. As in
1973, most of the over-all rate increase was
attributable to the general advance in rates paid
on negotiable CD’s, which continued into the
third quarter of 1974, reflecting the combined
effects of monetary restraint and strong demands
for credit. An additional factor pushing up rates
in the spring and summer was the concern in
financial markets associated with the publicized
difficulties and eventual failure of a large do­
mestic bank and a few smaller foreign banks.
These developments led to further upward pres­
sure on CD rates, as banks sought increased
funds to meet the credit demands of customers
that had been squeezed out of securities markets
and as investors became more quality conscious
and required increased although varying rate
premiums over those of certain other types of
securities such as Treasury bills as an induce­
ment to invest in CD’s. It was not until mid-July
that CD rates started to decline, but even at
year-end, rates on shorter maturities were still
around 9 per cent at prime banks.
Interest paid for Federal funds purchased and
securities sold under repurchase agreements in­
creased substantially in 1974, but the rise was

M e m b er B ank Incom e in 1974

significantly less than the very sharp increase
that had occurred in 1973. Such expenses,
which rose $1,949 million, or 51.8 per cent,
during the year, derived both from a greater
volume of these funds and from significantly
higher interest rates paid for them. In 1974, for
example, the weekly average interest paid for
Federal funds was 10.51 per cent compared with
8.74 per cent in 1973.
Interest paid on “ other borrowed money,”
which includes interest on Euro-dollar borrow­
ings and on loans from Federal Reserve Banks,
rose $398 million in 1974, a slightly larger
absolute but much smaller percentage increase
than had occurred in 1973. Interest expenses
resulting from the issuance of capital notes and
debentures also increased in 1974, but both the
dollar amount and the percentage increase were
less than in 1973.
Salaries and wages (including benefits) typi­
cally represent the second most important cate­
gory of member bank expense; in 1974 these
costs rose $1,027 million, or 13.2 per cent. This
increase, which compares with a 10 per cent
rise in 1973, reflects for the most part higher
wage and salary rates and other employee bene­
fits, but the number of employees also rose by
4.7 per cent.
Member banks raised their provision for loan
losses by $863 million, or 86.8 per cent, in
1974— nearly four times the increase in 1973
and more than six times the 1974 rate of increase
in total loans outstanding. Since nearly all banks
operate on a loan-loss reserve-accounting basis,
the current provision for loan losses in most
cases is an estimate of losses that the bank may
reasonably expect to incur on its loan portfolio
(minimum provisions are prescribed by super­
visory authorities).1 For accounting purposes,
this item is classified as an operating expense
affecting net income in the current year. Al­
though the minimum amount that a bank must
provide each year for such expense is deter­
mined by prescribed methods, bank manage­
ment may designate a larger-than-required pro1 All member banks that do not provide for loan losses
on a reserve basis must use their actual net loan losses
each year as a minimum “ provision for loan lo sse s.”
Other banks may use this method if they do so on a
regular basis.




353

vision for loan losses if such action seems
prudent under existing economic circumstances.
The uncertainties in the economy during 1974
did in fact prompt numerous member banks to
increase their loan-loss provisions beyond the
prescribed amounts.
“ Provision for loan losses” in 1974 also
increased somewhat faster than actual net loan
losses, which rose $651 million, or 69.2 per
cent. With total loans outstanding increasing
14.2 per cent, the ratio of net loan losses to
average loans outstanding at member banks in­
creased to 0.39 per cent; this was a substantial
increase over the 0.25 per cent figure in 1973
and significantly higher than for any other recent
year.
The remaining minor expense items, includ­
ing net occupancy expense, furniture and
equipment expense, and other operating ex­
penses, all increased substantially during 1974.
Contributing significantly to such growth were
inflationary pressures and, especially for other
operating expenses, the cost of Euro-dollar bor­
rowings, which some banks report in this figure.

OTHER TRANSACTIONS
Member banks recorded net losses on securities
for the second consecutive year in 1974, and
although these losses were more than twice as
great as in 1973, the $69 million loss in 1974
had little effect on the aggregate net income of
member banks. Similarly, extraordinary charges
or credits after taxes, which declined in 1974,
had a negligible impact on net income.

INCOME TAXES
After having increased in 1972 and 1973, ap­
plicable income taxes of member banks declined
$63 million, or 3.8 per cent, in 1974. This
compares with a 5.1 per cent increase in income
before income taxes and net securities gains or
losses, and it reverses the relationship that had
existed between these two accounting items in
1973, a year in which applicable income taxes
rose faster than income before income taxes and
net securities gains or losses.

354

Federal Reserve Bulletin □ June 1975

NET INCOME AND
CASH DIVIDENDS
Net income of member banks, as previously
mentioned, rose $352 million, or 7.0 per cent,
in 1974. But because equity capital and reserves
rose faster than net income, the ratio of net
income to equity capital plus reserves declined

0.22 percentage point. In 1973 this ratio had
risen 0.43 percentage point.
Member banks increased their cash dividends
declared by 12.5 per cent to $2,270 million in
1974 compared with a 9.7 per cent rise in 1973.
The ratio of cash dividends declared to net
income increased to 42.3 per cent in 1974 after
declining for two consecutive years. In both

Member Bank Income in 1974

1972 and 1973, the increase in dividend dec­
larations by banks had been limited in conform­
ance with the dividend restraint guidelines of
the Committee on Interest and Dividends, but
this program was terminated on April 30, 1974.

NET INCOME BY
CATEGORY OF BANK
Differences in income and expenses among the
various categories of member banks were larger
in 1974 than in 1973. Whereas in 1973 all of
the categories recorded substantial increases in




355

net income, only the largest banks in New York
and Chicago posted sizable increases in net
income during 1974. Member banks in Chicago
recorded an increase of $47 million, or 20.2
per cent, while New York banks, which account
for a much larger proportion of member bank
income, recorded a substantial— but slightly
smaller— gain of 17.1 per cent.
Other large banks experienced a rise in net
income in 1974 of only 4.9 per cent compared
with 13.9 per cent in 1973. “ All other banks”
reported an increase in 1974 net income of 3.1
per cent, a sharp contrast to the 12.6 per cent
rise recorded by that group in 1973.

356

Changes in Time and Savings Deposits
at Commercial Banks, July-October 1974
The growth of time and savings deposits issued
to individuals, partnerships, and corporations
(IPC’s) by commercial banks slowed markedly
in the 3 months ended October 31, 1974. Re­
sults of the quarterly survey conducted jointly
by the Federal Reserve System and the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation indicate that total
IPC time and savings deposits at insured com­
mercial banks registered a gain of only $3.4
billion— about 1 per cent— in the July-October
period. This was the weakest performance since
the absolute decline that occurred between Oc­
tober 1969 and January 1970.
All major categories of accounts showed
smaller increases between the end of July and
the end of October than during the preceding
3 months, but the sharpest deceleration occurred
in negotiable certificates of deposit and other
time deposits with minimum denominations of
$100,000. These deposits, which had paced the
advance in total IPC time and savings deposits
during the earlier part of the year, rose only
moderately in the late summer and early fall
when the economic downturn broadened and
business loan growth began to abate. Interest
rates paid for such funds declined substantially
after July, moving in step with yields on other
private short-term instruments.
Still, the general level of market rates of
interest was high by historical standards, and
given the Federal regulatory ceilings on rates
payable for smaller-denomination accounts,
banks encountered some difficulty in attracting
consumer-type time and savings deposits. Al­
though most Federally insured banks continued
to offer the highest rates permitted on consumer-type accounts, passbook savings ex­
panded only 0.6 per cent and time certificates

edged up only 0.3 per cent. The 4-year-and-over
maturity category, introduced in July 1973, was
once again the area of strongest growth.

CONSUMER-TYPE
TIME AND SAVINGS DEPOSITS
Growth in the volume of savings deposits out­
standing slowed for the second consecutive
quarter, rising $0.7 billion in the 3 months
ended October 31, 1974. Banks paying 4.51 per
cent to 5.00 per cent registered a gain of $3.2
billion, while banks paying rates of 4.50 or less
lost $2.5 billion. Still, more than a quarter of
all savings deposits outstanding at the end of
October were at the 16 per cent of banks that
offered rates of 4.50 or less, and the average
rate paid by all insured banks was 4.82 per cent.
Large West Coast banks that maintained pass­
book rates at 4.50 per cent continued to account
for a large proportion of savings accounts hav­
ing rates less than the 5 per cent regulatory
ceiling.
The high level of interest rates available on
alternative investments during the August-October period was clearly reflected in the small
increase in consumer-type time deposits. In ad­
dition to such traditional vehicles as Treasury
securities (which in some instances were sold
in denominations as small as $1,000), small
investors were able to purchase certain new
types of assets. Among these were shares in
money market mutual funds— mutual funds in­
vesting in large CD’s, commercial paper, and
other money market instruments— and floatingrate notes issued primarily by bank holding
companies.
Small-denomination time deposits maturing
in less than 2Vi years dropped $3.7 billion in
the 3 months ended October 31. The decline
in these accounts had been evident since the
revision of deposit rate ceilings in July 1973;

C hanges in Tim e an d S avin g s D e p o sits

in the five quarters between July 31, 1973, and
October 31, 1974, such deposits decreased al­
most $18 billion. Total consumer-type time de­
posits expanded throughout this period, how­
ever, as accounts with longer maturities regis­
tered strong gains. During the most recent sur­
vey period, growth in deposits with maturities
of IVi years or more slowed somewhat, but was
still substantial. The higher rate ceilings appli­
cable to such accounts made them relatively
more competitive with market instruments.

with a $10.7 billion gain in the preceding 3
months. During the summer months the demand
for business loans began to ease as the economy
weakened further; at the same time many banks
adopted more restrictive lending policies in
order to husband their liquidity and to prevent
further deterioration in capital/asset ratios.
Consequently, banks bid less aggressively for
negotiable CD’s and other large-denomination
time deposits.
The July 31, 1974, survey had indicated that
banks holding nearly 90 per cent of outstanding
negotiable CD’s were paying rates in excess of
10 per cent on such deposits. In the October
31 survey, this percentage fell to about 15 per
cent, with the bulk of negotiable CD’s issued
by banks paying between 8.50 and 9.50 per
cent. Rates on nonnegotiable CD’s and open
accounts recorded similar declines.

LARGE-DENOMINATION
TIME DEPOSITS

N ote.— D ata were compiled jointly by the Board o f G overnors of
the Federal Reserve System and the Federal D eposit Insurance




C orporation. For Jan. 31, Apr. 30, and July 31, 1974, the information
was reported by a probability sample o f all insured commercial
banks; for Oct. 31, 1974, the data for member banks were reported
by virtually all such banks and for insured nonmember banks by the
same sample o f these banks reporting in earlier surveys.
Some deposit categories include a small am ount of deposits out­
standing in a relatively few banks that no longer issue these types of
deposits and are not included in the num ber o f issuing banks. D ollar
amounts may not add to totals because of rounding.

DEPOSITS
HELD BY BUSINESSES
As part of the October surveys of time and
savings deposits, Federal Reserve member
banks are asked to report the percentage of their
IPC time deposits held by businesses within the
various maturity and denomination classifica­
tions. The information obtained in the latest




survey confirms what had been found pre­
viously— namely, that businesses hold only a
minor share (less than 8 per cent) of small-de­
nomination deposits outstanding, but that they
hold the bulk of the large-denomination deposits
(Table 4). The October 1974 survey also indi­
cates that the business share of each type of
time deposit declined over the preceding year.
The proportion of small-denomination depos­
its held by businesses has fallen with each

N ote.—D ata are for member banks of the Federal Reserve System

only. N o insured nonmember banks reported this information,
and there was some nonreporting among member banks. Never­
theless, the member banks that did report accounted for more than

succeeding survey. Between October 1972 and
October 1974, the percentage dropped from
11.3 to 7.6. This trend has manifested itself in
all maturity categories. Among large-denomi­
nation deposits the declines in the relative im­
portance of business holdings also have been
marked— the proportion of business ownership
of negotiable CD’s fell from 82.3 per cent to
75.0 per cent over the 1972-74 span, while that




60 per cent of the total deposits o f these types in all member banks.
Passbook savings and Christmas savings and other special funds are
excluded.

for other large-denomination time deposits fell
from 56 per cent to 48.5 per cent. However,
despite these trends, between October 1973 and
October 1974 the proportion of all IPC time
deposits (other than savings) held by businesses
actually rose from 43.4 per cent to 46.0 per
cent, as large-denomination deposits, most of
which are held by businesses, grew more rapidly
than consumer-type time deposits.

N ote.— The most common interest rate for each instrument refers
to the basic stated rate per annum (before compounding) in effect on
the survey date that was generating the largest dollar volume o f de­
posit inflows. If the posted rates were unchanged during the 30-day
period just preceding the survey date, the rate reported as the most
common rate was the rate in effect on the largest dollar volume o f
deposit inflows during the 30-day period. If the rate changed during
that period, the rate reported was the rate prevailing on the largest
dollar volume o f inflows from the time o f the last rate change to the
survey date.

While rate ranges of 1/a or l/ i o f a percentage point are shown in
this and other tables, the most common rate reported by most banks
was the top rate in the range; for example, 4.00, 4.50, etc. Some
deposit categories exclude a small am ount o f deposits outstanding in
a relatively few banks that no longer issue these types o f deposits and
are not included in the number o f issuing banks.
Figures may not add to totals because of rounding.

N ote.— D ata were compiled from information reported by all

member banks and by a probability sample o f all insured nonmember
commercial banks. The latter were expanded to provide universe
estimates.
Figures exclude banks that reported no interest rate paid and
that held no deposits on the survey dates, and they also exclude




a few banks that had discontinued issuing these instruments but
still had some deposits outstanding on the survey date. D ollar amounts
may not add to totals because o f rounding.
In the headings o f these tables under “ M ost common rate paid
(per cent)” the rates shown are those being paid by nearly all reporting
banks. However, for the relatively few banks that reported a rate in
between those shown, the bank was included in the next higher rate.

Treasury and Federal Reserve
Foreign Exchange Operations: Interim Report
This interim report, covering the period Febru­
ary through April 1975, is the fifth of a series
providing information on Treasury and System
foreign exchange operations to supplement the
regular series of semiannual reports that are
usually issued each March and September. It
was prepared by Alan R. Holmes, Manager,
System Open Market Account, and Executive
Vice President of the Federal Reserve Bank of
New York, and Scott E. Pardee, Deputy Man­
ager for Foreign Operations of the System Open
Market Account and a Vice President of the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
As previously reported, in late 1974-early 1975
the exchange markets had been subject to an
almost unremitting diet of bearish news for the
dollar, and market forces drove dollar rates
persistently lower. The economic downturn and
the slide of interest rates in the United States
had reinforced expectations of a further widen­
ing of interest differentials already adverse to
the dollar. Gloomy forecasts emerging in the
debates over economic and energy policies in
Washington had further depressed the market.
With individual oil-producing countries report­
edly growing restive over the dollar’s deprecia­
tion, market fears of an accelerated diversifica­
tion of oil proceeds to other currencies had
intensified. In addition, reports that the market
might be left short of some continental European
currencies as a result of the failure of several
financial institutions last year had triggered fur­
ther bidding for foreign currencies. In this at­
mosphere, the market had ignored favorable
news for the dollar, such as the underlying
improvement in the U.S. trade balance and the
slackening in our rate of inflation.
As the dollar rates fell, the Federal Reserve
had intervened in modest amounts on a day-today basis to cushion the decline, while other
major central banks also intervened to buy dol­




lars in their markets. But with markets becom­
ing increasingly nervous and unsettled, a more
forceful intervention approach was clearly
needed to avoid disorderly conditions, and dur­
ing the last week of January the Federal Reserve
and the German Federal Bank stiffened their
resistance to the further decline in dollar rates.
By January 31 the Federal Reserve’s swap debt
incurred in market operations since October
1974 had accumulated to $412.5 million equiv­
alent, of which $382.7 million was in German
marks, $26.6 million in Swiss francs, and $3.2
million in Dutch guilders.
Over the weekend of February 1-2 senior
officials of the Federal Reserve, the German
Federal Bank, and the Swiss National Bank met
in London to conclude details of a coordinated,
more forceful intervention approach. On Mon­
day, February 3, the German Federal Bank and
the Swiss National Bank countered renewed
selling pressure on the dollar through sizable
dollar purchases while several other central
banks joined in as buyers of dollars. The Federal
Reserve followed up in New York with large
offerings of marks, Swiss francs, Dutch
guilders, and Belgian francs. Drawing on the
respective swap lines, the Federal Reserve sold
in 2 days a total of $139.4 million equivalent
of currencies: $74.4 million of marks, $28 mil­
lion of Swiss francs, $26.9 million of Dutch
guilders, and $10 million of Belgian francs.
This concerted operation, and its confirmation
by Chairman Burns and by officials of the Ger­
man Federal Bank and the Swiss National Bank,
prompted a recovery for the dollar of some 4
per cent against the mark and the Swiss franc.
Subsequent events, however, served to rein­
force the bearish sentiment toward the dollar.
During the first weeks of February the cut in
Federal Reserve discount rates, subsequent re­
ductions in prime rates, and the release of
sharply higher unemployment figures seemed to

Foreign E xchange O peration s: Interim R e p o r t

reconfirm market expectations that the decline
in U . S . interest rates would continue to outpace
those of other countries. In fact, the easing of
most money market rates in the United States
was more gradual in February than before and
in line with the downturn of rates already
emerging in most European centers. Never­
theless, in the absence of strong domestic credit
demand, U.S. banks continued to substantially
increase their loans and reduce their liabilities
to foreigners. Moreover, market concern over
the possibility of large-scale diversification into
continental European currencies was heightened
by repeated statements from OPEC (Organi­
zation of Petroleum Exporting Countries)
officials that they were seeking ways to protect
the value of their oil receipts from a further
decline in dollar rates.
Against this background the dollar came
under renewed and occasionally heavy selling
pressure that persisted through most of February
and drove dollar rates back to the late January
lows and beyond. The Federal Reserve, the
German Federal Bank, and the Swiss National
Bank remained prepared to intervene forcefully,
as necessary, to avoid the outbreak of disorderly
conditions but without holding exchange rates
at any particular level. The Federal Reserve
intervened on 10 of the 14 business days be­
tween February 5 and February 26, selling a
total of $278.2 million of German marks and
$74.4 million of Swiss francs, all drawn on the
swap lines with the respective central banks.
Market pessimism was nevertheless so en­
trenched that, when on February 27 the United
States released clearly improved trade figures
for January, the dollar failed to rise and the New
York market was soon flooded with speculative
selling out of Europe. The Federal Reserve
quickly countered with offerings of foreign cur­
rencies, selling $56.7 million equivalent of
marks, $20.9 million equivalent of Swiss
francs, $20 million equivalent of guilders, and
$6.6 million of Belgian francs, all financed by
drawings on the respective swap lines. This
operation was followed up with sustaining in­
tervention the next day, amounting to $23.7
million of German marks drawn on the Federal
Bank, and helped set the stage for an improved
market atmosphere beginning early in March.




365

By then, interest rate differentials were shift­
ing in favor of the dollar, as the decline in U.S.
interest rates slackened further while interest
rates elsewhere continued to fall. In addition,
reports of disagreements within OPEC eased
some of the immediate concerns in the market
that the group would collectively cut production
or boost prices further. Moreover, a number of
statements by U.S. officials emphasizing the
fundamental strengths in this country’s trade and
payments position and rejecting a “ benign ne­
glect” policy toward the dollar helped to harden
the market’s view that dollar exchange rates
were about to bottom out. The market’s pessi­
mism began to lift and dollar rates staged a
tentative recovery. Meanwhile, the Federal Re­
serve had acquired $102.3 million of German
marks from the Bank of Italy in connection with
an Italian drawing on the International Mone­
tary Fund and repaid $25 million of swap debt
with the German Federal Bank. Using the re­
mainder of these marks, the Federal Reserve
continued to intervene to resist a backsliding in
rates that threatened to undermine a more solid
recovery, selling in the first 4 days of March
$63.3 million of marks from balances and $9.5
million of Swiss francs financed by further swap
drawings.
Thereafter, Federal Reserve intervention
tapered off sharply and was limited to resisting
sudden sharp drops in dollar rates that might
rekindle more generalized selling pressure. The
System operated on only 5 of the 12 business
days between March 7 and March 24 to sell
$55.8 million of marks, of which $47.1 million
was financed by new swap drawings and the
rest by balances. The Federal Reserve discount
rate cut announced on March 7 had little ex­
change market impact, as it followed official
lending rate cuts in several European centers.
As time passed, the market became more resist­
ant to unexpectedly adverse developments. The
news on March 25 of King Faisal’s assassi­
nation, for example, only temporarily unsettled
the markets; although the Federal Reserve of­
fered several currencies that day to avoid an
abrupt decline in dollar rates, it sold only $2.1
million of Dutch guilders before the dollar
steadied.
By this time the Federal Reserve had in­

366

Federal Reserve Bulletin □ June 1975

creased its swap drawings by a net of $653.6
million to finance intervention in February and
March, bringing total market-related indebt­
edness to a peak of $1,066.2 million. Of this,
$837.8 million was in marks, $159.4 million
in Swiss francs, $52.2 million in Dutch
guilders, and $16.7 million in Belgian francs.
Nevertheless, with market conditions becoming
generally more settled, the Federal Reserve had
begun to make modest daily purchases of cur­
rencies needed to repay that debt.
The dollar’s tentative recovery gradually gave
way to a more generalized advance that contin­
ued through most of April, as market sentiment
improved further and outstanding short positions
were covered. Underpinning the dollar’s rise
was mounting evidence of a basic improvement
in U.S. trade and price performance, high­
lighted by news of successive record monthly
trade surpluses in February and March. More­
over, U.S. interest rates leveled off, in antici­
pation of the U.S. Treasury’s large borrowing
needs in 1975, and the outflow of bank funds
slowed.
As the dollar strengthened, the Federal Re­
serve was able to make progress in repaying
swap debt. In late March and April the System
acquired sufficient marks both in the market here
and abroad and directly from correspondents to
repay $244.6 million of swap drawings. More­
over, the Federal Reserve purchased from the
Swiss National Bank the francs needed to repay
$159.4 million of swap drawings incurred since
December 1974. The System also purchased in
the market the Belgian francs needed to liqui­
date the $16.7 million of swap drawings with
the National Bank of Belgium incurred in Feb­
ruary. With the Dutch guilder at or near the
upper limit of the European “ snake” arrange­
ment, however, the Federal Reserve refrained
from purchasing guilders in the market.
Despite the dollar’s greater buoyancy the
markets remained sensitive to potential diversi­
fication of OPEC funds into continental Euro­
pean currencies not only out of dollars but also
out of sterling, which came under heavy selling
pressure on several occasions during the month.
When these concerns surfaced, the dollar occa­
sionally came on offer, but the Federal Reserve
intervened only four times— on April 8 and on

3 days between April 23 and April 29— to
cushion sharp declines in dollar rates. These
sales, in marks only, amounted to $42.6 million
equivalent, of which $31 million was from
balances and the remainder drawn on the swap
line with the German Federal Bank. In each
instance, however, the dollar soon resumed its
recovery. By the end of April the dollar had
advanced by 4 to 6 per cent from its lows against
the German mark and the Swiss franc and by
similar amounts against most other major Euro­
pean currencies. On balance, the Federal Re­
serve reduced its outstanding swap debt incurred
since October 1974 by $409.2 million to $657
million on April 30.
In summary, in exchange market intervention
during the 3-month period, the Federal Reserve
sold a total of $793.2 million equivalent of
foreign currencies. Of these, $594.7 million
equivalent was in German marks, $491.7 mil­
lion financed by drawings under the swap ar­
rangement with the German Federal Bank and
the rest from balances. The System acquired in
the market and from central bank corre­
spondents sufficient mark balances to repay
$269.6 million of swap drawings, leaving
$604.7 million equivalent of mark debt out­
standing on April 30. Intervention in Swiss

francs amounted to $132.8 million equivalent,
all of which was drawn on the swap line with
the National Bank and fully repaid, along with
$26.6 million carried over from December-January, by means of direct purchases of francs
from the National Bank. In guilders, the System
sold a further $49 million equivalent during the
period, raising its swap drawings to $52.2 mil­
lion equivalent. Finally, in Belgian francs, the
$16.7 million equivalent of swap drawings on
the National Bank of Belgium to finance ex­
change market intervention during the period
was fully repaid through acquisitions in the
market. On April 30, in addition to the $657
million equivalent of swap debt remaining from

exchange market operations since October
1974, the Federal Reserve had $971.2 million
equivalent of Swiss franc and $261.8 million
equivalent of Belgian franc swap commitments
outstanding since August 1971.
As described in the December 1974 and
March 1975 reports, on September 26 of last
year the Federal Reserve Bank of New York
acquired the $725 million equivalent of for­
ward-exchange commitments of the Franklin
National Bank. During the 3-month period
under review, the aggregate of outstanding for­
ward contracts was further reduced by some­
what over $300 million to only $10.5 million
on April 30.

Record of Policy Actions
of the Federal Open Market Committee
M EETING HELD ON APRIL 1 4 -1 5 , 19751
D om estic Policy Directive
The information reviewed at this meeting suggested that real output
of goods and services had continued to fall sharply in the first
quarter of 1975, that the rise in prices had moderated, and that
nominal GNP had declined. Staff projections suggested that real
economic activity would recede only a little further in the second
quarter and would turn up later in the year, and that the rise in
prices would continue to moderate.
In March economic activity continued to decline but at a less
rapid pace than in the immediately preceding months. Decreases
in both industrial production and nonfarm employment, although
still substantial, were not so large as in the 4 months from
November through February. The rate of unemployment increased
from 8.2 to 8.7 per cent, as the civilian labor force expanded after
having declined sharply in February. Total retail sales were esti­
mated to have changed little in March; although sales of automo­
biles declined following termination of price rebates, the reduction
was offset by a further increase in sales of other consumer items.
In the first quarter as a whole, total sales were appreciably higher
than in the fourth quarter of 1974, and it appeared that inventory
liquidation at all levels of business had been substantial.
The advance in the index of average hourly earnings for private
nonfarm production workers accelerated in March, but over the
first quarter it was less rapid than during the spring and summer
of 1974. The wholesale price index declined in March for the fourth
consecutive month, as prices of farm and food products fell sharply




1This meeting was held over a 2-day period, beginning on the afternoon of
April 14.

Record of Policy Actions of FOMC

further and prices of industrial commodities increased only slightly.
In February, as in December and January, the rise in the consumer
price index had not been so large as in most months in 1974.
In late March the President signed the Tax Reduction Act of
1975, which provided for rebates of 1974 personal income taxes
and for reductions in both personal and corporate income taxes
in 1975. New withholding schedules for personal income tax
payments would take effect May 1. The Act also provided for
one-time cash payments to recipients of social security benefits
and a further lengthening of the benefit period for payment of
unemployment compensation.
Staff projections suggested that in the second quarter the decline
in real GNP would be considerably smaller than had been expected
4 weeks earlier and that nominal GNP would turn up. In large
part, the improvement in the outlook for the second quarter reflected
the expectation that inventory liquidation, while remaining rapid,
would moderate from the exceptional pace now estimated for the
first quarter. It was anticipated that business fixed investment would
decline further, but that personal consumption expenditures would
expand slightly in real terms and that residential construction would
increase.
Exchange rates for the dollar against leading foreign currencies
had risen since early March, as short-term interest rates abroad
continued to decline relative to rates in the United States, and as
market attitudes toward the dollar improved in response to indica­
tions of moderation in the rise in U.S. prices and of improvement
in the U.S. foreign trade balance. For the first 2 months of the
year the balance was in surplus; compared with fourth-quarter rates,
exports of agricultural commodities were up and imports of com­
modities other than fuels were down. Moreover, net outflows of
capital reported by banks— which had continued large in Febru­
ary— apparently diminished in March. On April 9 the Board of
Governors announced a reduction, from 8 to 4 per cent, in reserve
requirements on foreign borrowings by member banks.
Total loans and investments at U.S. commercial banks expanded
relatively little from the end of February to the end of March,
and virtually all of the expansion reflected increases in bank
holdings of Treasury securities and in loans to securities dealers.
Outstanding loans to businesses declined further; business demands

for short-term credit remained weak both at banks and in the
commercial paper market.
The narrowly defined money stock (Mx)2 expanded substantially
in March, in part because demand deposits were increased by
accelerated distribution of Federal tax refunds. Net inflows of
consumer-type time and savings deposits to banks remained strong
and those to nonbank thrift institutions were extremely large, in
part because of the tax refunds but mainly because of relatively
attractive interest rates available on such deposits. Consequently,
growth in broader measures of the money stock (M23 and M34)
was rapid. Over the first quarter M1? M2, and M3 were estimated
to have expanded at annual rates of 3.9, 8.5, and 10.2 per cent,
respectively. In March, as in February, banks reduced the out­
standing volume of their large-denomination CD’s in response to
the growth in other deposits and the weakness in loan demand.
The bank credit proxy over the first quarter grew at an annual
rate of 3.2 per cent.5
System open market operations after the March 18 meeting had
been guided initially by the Committee’s decision to seek bank
reserve and money market conditions consistent with more rapid
growth in monetary aggregates over the months ahead than had
occurred in recent months, while taking account of developments
in domestic and international financial markets. In the first statement
week after the meeting, the System purchased a substantial volume
of Treasury coupon and Federal agency issues in the course of
reserve-supplying operations undertaken to offset the effects of a
sharp rise in Treasury balances at Reserve Banks.
On March 27 available data suggested that in the March-April
period the annual rates of growth in both M x and M2 would be
above the upper limits of the ranges of tolerance that had been
specified by the Committee. During the previous statement week
the Federal funds rate had averaged about 5 lh per cent. In light
2Private demand deposits plus currency in circulation.
3Mi plus commercial bank time and savings deposits other than large-denomi­
nation CD’s.
4M2 plus time and savings deposits at mutual savings banks and at savings
and loan associations.
5Daily-average member bank deposits, adjusted to include funds from
nondeposit sources.




Record of Policy Actions of FOMC

of the behavior of the aggregates, the System Account Manager
would, under normal circumstances, have permitted the weekly
average Federal funds rate to rise to the upper limit of its range
of tolerance—namely, to 5 3A per cent. However, a majority of
Committee members concurred in the Chairman’s recommendation
of March 27 that, in view of the weakness in the economy and
of the sensitive conditions in financial markets, particularly the bond
markets, the Manager be instructed to treat 5V4 per cent as the
approximate upper limit for the weekly average funds rate for the
time being. The funds rate fluctuated around that level until the
statement week ending April 9, when a sharp decline in the
Treasury balance supplied a large volume of reserves and the funds
rate slipped to about 5 1/i per cent.
Short-term market interest rates rose somewhat over the inter­
meeting period, apparently because of growing expectations that
the decline in interest rates was at or near an end for the time
being; accelerated growth in the monetary aggregates and stability
in the Federal funds rate strengthened the view that the System
would not ease money market conditions further, and enactment
of the tax reductions made it clear that near-term Treasury financing
needs would be enlarged and also strengthened expectations of
economic recovery later in the year. At the time of this meeting
the market rate on 3-month Treasury bills was 5.53 per cent,
compared with 5.39 per cent on the day before the last meeting.
Bond yields, which had turned up before the March meeting,
increased further during the inter-meeting period. The bond markets
were affected not only by the large volume of current and expected
securities offerings but also by concern over the financial positions
of some State and local governmental entities. Public offerings of
corporate bonds were heavy in March, and a continued large
volume was in prospect for April despite many cancellations and
postponements of planned issues. Yields on home mortgages de­
clined only slightly further in the primary market and turned up
in the secondary market.
The Treasury was expected to announce the terms of its mid-May
financing on May 1. Of the maturing issues, $3.8 billion were
held by the public.
At this meeting the Committee reviewed its procedures for
specifying desired longer-run growth rates in monetary and credit




371

372

F e d e r a l R e s e r v e B u lle tin □ J u n e 1 9 7 5

aggregates and concluded that at present it should formulate such
growth rates for four aggregates—M1? M2, M3, and the bank credit
proxy— in terms of ranges for annual periods. It was the consensus
of the Committee that growth in these aggregates over the period
from March 1975 to March 1976 at rates within the following
ranges presently appeared to be consistent with its broad economic
objectives: M u 5 to lV i per cent; M2, SVi to IOV2 per cent; M3,
10 to 12 per cent; and the bank credit proxy, 6 V2 to 9Vi per cent.6
It was understood that these ranges, as well as the particular list
of aggregates for which such ranges were specified, were subject
to review and modification at subsequent meetings.
In considering current policy, the Committee took note of a staff
analysis suggesting that the monetary aggregates would grow at
relatively rapid rates in the April-May period if prevailing money
market conditions persisted. Relatively rapid growth was expected
in large part because of the temporary effects of large tax rebates
scheduled to begin in May, at a time when the demand for money
was also being influenced by the continuing impact of earlier
declines in short-term interest rates and by the rise in nominal GNP
anticipated for the second quarter. Any further upward pressures
on market interest rates most likely would be confined to the market
for Treasury securities. It was expected that business, mortgage,
and consumer demands for bank credit would remain relatively
weak.
Against the background of this analysis and of its longer-run
objectives for monetary and credit aggregates, the Committee
decided to seek growth in M x and M2 over the April-May period
at annual rates with ranges of tolerance of 6 V2 to 9 per cent and
9 V2 to 11 3A per cent, respectively. The members concluded that
such growth rates would be likely to involve growth in reserves
available to support private nonbank deposits (RPD’s) within a

6Mr. Eastburn preferred to focus on the aggregates that he believed were most
closely linked with economic activity— M 1? M2, and perhaps the bank credit
proxy— and he favored employing ranges not more than one percentage point
in width. In Mr. MacLaury’s view, the outlook for the economy over the coming
year— specifically the expected patterns of performance of employment and
prices— called for somewhat faster growth of the aggregates over the year, indexed
by a 7 per cent growth rate for M 1.




Record of Policy Actions of FOMC

range of IV2 to 4% per cent. They agreed that in the period until
the next meeting the weekly average Federal funds rate might be
expected to vary in an orderly fashion in a range of 4 % to 5 %
per cent, if necessary in the course of seeking monetary growth
rates within the ranges specified. The members also agreed that
in the conduct of operations, account should be taken of the
forthcoming Treasury financing and of developments in domestic
and international financial markets.
The following domestic policy directive was issued to the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York:

Mr. Eastburn dissented from this action because he preferred
to retain the previous 5 V2 per cent upper limit on the inter-meeting
range for the Federal funds rate. While he believed that firmer
money market conditions might prove to be necessary later on in
the year, he thought any such firming would be inappropriate at
this time, given the sensitive state of financial markets, the contin­
ued weakness in the economy, and his preference for seeking more
rapid growth in the monetary aggregates in the near term than would
be desirable over the longer run.

Records of policy actions taken by the Federal Open Market Committee at each
meeting, in the form in which they will appear in the Board’s Annual R eport,
are released about 45 days after the meeting and are subsequently published in
the B u l l e t i n .

*A11 banking data are as of June 30, 1974.

O klahom a City SMSA.




3Under a trust arrangem ent, shareholders of Bank are the
beneficial owners of 20 per cent of the shares of O klahom a
Bankers Life Insurance Com pany, Oklahom a City, Oklahom a
(“ O B L IC ” ). Under §§ 2(g)(1) and 2(g)(2) of the Act, control
of these shares would be attributed to Applicant upon its
acquisition of Bank. The activities of OBLIC have not been
determined to be perm issible under § 4(c)(8) of the Act and,
therefore, the indirect control of these shares by Applicant
would be prohibited by § 4 of the Act. Accordingly, upon
the acquisition of Bank, Applicant is required to divest itself
of its indirect interest in OBLIC within the applicable time
period provided in § 4(a)(2) of the Act.

1 All banking data, unless otherwise indicated, are as of June
30, 1974, and reflect bank holding com pany form ations and
acquisitions approved through M arch 31, 1975. In a separate
action the Board approved the application of M ichigan National
C orporation to acquire W est Oakland Bank, N ational Associa­
tion, N ovi, M ichigan ($14.5 m illion in deposits).
2D eposit data for Cassopolis Bank are as of June 30, 1974.




3 All market data are as of Decem ber 31, 1973.
4In its analysis of the application, the Board also considered
Protestant’s subm ission in which Protestant argues generally
that the application should be denied because of com petitive
considerations. The Board is of the view that the record does
not support denial of the application on such grounds; however,
in view of the B oard’s action herein with respect to the subject
application, a discussion of P rotestant’s argument appears
unnecessary.

1 When two dates are shown, the first applies to the change at reserve
city banks and the second to the change at country banks. For changes
prior to 1963 see Board’s Annual Reports.
2 (a) Demand deposits subject to reserve requirements are gross de­
mand deposits minus cash items in process of collection and demand
balances due from domestic banks.
(b) Requirement schedules are graduated, and each deposit interval
applies to that part of the deposits of each bank.
(c) Since Oct. 16, 1969, member banks have been required under
Regulation M to maintain reserves against foreign branch deposits
computed on the basis of net balances due from domestic offices to their
foreign branches and against foreign branch loans to U.S. residents.
Since June 21, 1973, loans aggregating $100,000 or less to any U.S. resident
have been excluded from computations, as have total loans of a bank to
U.S. residents if not exceeding $ 1 million. Regulation D imposes a similar
reserve requirement on borrowings from foreign banks by domestic offices
of a member bank. The reserve percentage applicable to each of these
classifications is 4 per cent. The requirement was 10 per cent originally,
was increased to 20 per cent on Jan. 7, 1971, was reduced to 8 per cent
effective June 21, 1973, and was reduced to the current 4 per cent effective
May 22, 1975. Initially certain base amounts were exempted in the com­
putation of the requirements, but effective Mar. 14, 1974, the last of these
reserve-free bases were eliminated. For details, see Regulations D and M.
3 Effective Jan. 5, 1967, time deposits such as Christmas and vacation
club accounts became subject to same requirements as savings deposits.
For other notes see 2(b) and 2(c) above.
4 Effective Nov. 9, 1972, a new criterion was adopted to designate re­
serve cities, and on the same date requirements for reserves against net
demand deposits of member banks were restructured to provide that each

member bank will maintain reserves related to the size of its net demand
deposits. The new reserve city designations are as follows: A bank having
net demand deposits of more than $400 million is considered to have the
character of business of a reserve city bank, and the presence of the head
office of such a bank constitutes designation of that place as a reserve
city. Cities in which there are F.R. Banks or branches are also
reserve cities. Any banks having net demand deposits of $400 million or
less are considered to have the character of business of banks outside of
reserve cities and are permitted to maintain reserves at ratios set for banks
not in reserve cities. For details, see Regulation D and appropriate sup­
plements and amendments.
5 A marginal reserve requirement was in effect between June 21, 1973,
and Dec. 11, 1974, against increases in the aggregate of the following types
of obligations: (a) outstanding time deposits of $ 100,000 or more, (b)
outstanding funds obtained by the bank through issuance by a bank’s
affiliate of obligations subject to existing reserve requirements on time
deposits, and (c) beginning July 12, 1973, funds from sales of finance bills.
The requirement applied to balances above a specified base, but was not
applicable to banks having obligations of these types aggregating less
than $10 million. For details, including percentages and maturity classifi­
cations, see “Announcements” in B u l l e t i n s for May, July, Sept., and
Dec. 1973 and Sept. and Nov. 1974.
6 The 16Vi per cent requirement applied for one week, only to former
reserve city banks. For other banks, the 13 per cent requirement was
continued in this deposit interval.
7 See columns above for earliest effective date of this rate.
N o t e . —Required reserves must be held in the form of deposits with
F.R. Banks or vault cash.

N o t e . — Maximum rates that may be paid by member banks are estab­
lished by the Board of Governors under provisions of Regulation Q;
however, a member bank may not pay a rate in excess of the maximum
rate payable by State banks or trust companies on like deposits under
the laws of the State in which the member bank is located. Beginning
Feb. 1, 1936, maximum rates that may be paid by nonmember insured
commercial banks, as established by the FDIC, have been the same as
those in effect for member banks.

N o t e . —Regulations G, T, and U, prescribed in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, limit the amount of credit
to purchase and carry margin stocks that may be extended on securities as collateral by prescribing a maximum loan value, which is
a specified percentage of the market value of the collateral at the time the credit is extended; margin requirements are the difference
between the market value (100 per cent) and the maximum loan value. The term margin stocks is defined in the corresponding regulation.
Regulation G and special margin requirements for bonds convertible into stocks were adopted by the Board of Governors effective
Mar. 11, 1968.

amount were subject to the 6 x/i per cent ceiling that applies to time de­
posits maturing in 2 Vi years or more.
Effective Nov. 1, 1973, a ceiling rate of 7*4 per cent was imposed on
certificates maturing in 4 years or more with minimum denominations
of $1,000. There is no limitation on the amount of these certificates that
banks may issue.
5 Prior to Nov. 27, 1974, no distinction was made between the time
deposits of governmental units and of other holders, insofar as Regula­
tion 0 ceilings on rates payable were concerned. Effective Nov. 27, 1974,
governmental units were permitted to hold savings deposits and could
receive interest rates on time deposits with denominations under $100,000
irrespective of maturity, as high as the maximum rate permitted on such
deposits at any Federally insured depositary institution.

1 Averages of daily figures. Member bank reserve series reflects actual
reserve requirement percentages with no adjustment to eliminate the
effect of changes in Regulations D and M. Required reserves were in­
creased by $660 million effective Apr. 16, 1969, and $400 million effective
Oct. 16, 1969; were reduced by $500 million (net) effective Oct. 1, 1970.
Required reserves were reduced by approximately $2.5 billion, effective
Nov. 9, 1972; by $1.0 billion, effective Nov. 15; and increased by $300
million effective Nov. 22.
.2 Reserves available to support private nonbank deposits are defined
as (1) required reserves for (a) private demand deposits, (b) total time
and savings deposits, and (c) nondeposit sources subject to reserve re­
quirements, and (2) excess reserves. This series excludes required reserves
for net interbank and U.S. Govt, demand deposits.
3 Averages of daily figures. Deposits subject to reserve requirements
include total time and savings deposits and net demand deposits as defined

by Regulation D. Private demand deposits include all demand deposits
except those due to the U.S. Govt., less cash items in process of collection
and demand balances due from domestic commercial banks.
4 “Total member bank deposits” subject to reserve requirements, plus
Euro-dollar borrowings, loans sold to bank-related institutions, and
certain other nondeposit items. This series for deposits is referred to as
“ the adjusted bank credit proxy.”
N o t e . — For description of revised series and for back data, see article
“ Revision of Money Stock Measures and Member Bank Reserves and
Deposits” on pp. 817-27 of the Dec. 1974 B u l l e t in .
Due to changes in Regulations M and D, member bank reserves include
reserves held against nondeposit funds beginning Oct. 16, 1969. Back data
may be obtained from the Banking Section, Division of Research and
Statistics, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Washington,

1 Adjusted to exclude domestic commercial interbank loans.
2 Loans sold are those sold outright for banks’ own foreign branches,
nonconsolidated nonbank affiliates of the bank, the banks’ holding
company (if not a bank), and nonconsolidated nonbank subsidiaries of
the holding company. Prior to Aug. 28, 1974, the institutions included
had been defined somewhat differently, and the reporting panel of banks
was also different. On the new basis, both “Total loans” and “Com­
mercial and industrial loans” were reduced by about $100 million.
3 Reclassification of loans at one large bank reduced these loans by
about $400 million as of June 30, 1972.
4 Farmers Home Administration insured notes included in “Other
securities” rather than in loans beginning June 30, 1971, when such notes
totaled about $700 million.
5 Data beginning June 30, 1974, include one large mutual savings
bank that merged with a nonmember commercial bank. As of that date
there were increases of about $500 million in loans, $100 million in “ Other
securities,” and $600 million in “Total loans and investments.”

6 As of Oct. 31, 1974, “Total loans and investments” of all commercial
banks were reduced by $1.5 billion in connection with the liquidation
of one large bank. Reductions in other items were: “Total loans,” $1.0
billion (of which $0.6 billion was in “Commercial and industrial loans”),
and “Other securities,” $0.5 billion. In late November “Commercial and
industrial loans” were increased by $0.1 billion as a result of loan re­
classifications at another large bank.

1 Loans to farmers directly guaranteed by CCC were reclassified as
securities and Export-Import Bank portfolio fund participations were
reclassified from loans to securities effective June 30, 1966. This reduced
“Total loans” and increased “Other securities” by about $1 billion.
“Total loans” include Federal funds sold, and beginning with June 1967
securities purchased under resale agreements, figures for which are in­
cluded in “Federal funds sold, etc.,” on p. A-l 6.
Effective June 30, 1971, Farmers Home Administration notes were
classified as “Other securities” rather than “Loans.” As a result of this
change, approximately $300 million was transferred to “Other securities”
for the period ending June 30, 1971, for all commercial banks.
See also table (and notes) at the bottom of p. A-24.
2 See first 2 paragraphs of note 1.
3 Reciprocal balances excluded beginning with 1942.
4 Includes items not shown separately. See also note 1.
5 See third paragraph of note 1 above.
6 For the last-Wednesday-of-the-month series, figures for call dates
are shown for June and December as soon as they became available.
7 Beginning with Dec. 31, 1947, the series was revised; for description,
see note 4, p. 587, May 1964 B u l l e t in .
8 Member bank data for Oct. exclude assets of $3.6 billion of one large
bank.
9 Figure takes into account the following changes, which became
effective June 30, 1969: (1) inclusion of consolidated reports (including
figures for all bank-premises subsidiaries and other significant majorityowned domestic subsidiaries) and (2) reporting of figures for total loans

and for individual categories of securities on a gross basis—that is, before
deduction of valuation reserves—rather than net as previously reported.
N o t e .— Data are for all commercial banks in the United States (includ­
ing Alaska and Hawaii, beginning with 1959). Commercial banks represent
all commercial banks, both member and nonmember; stock savings
banks; and nondeposit trust companies.
Figures for member banks before 1970 include mutual savings banks
as follows: 3 before Jan. 1960 and 2 through Dec. 1960. Those banks
are not included in insured commercial banks.
Effective June 30, 1969, commercial banks and member banks exclude
a small national bank in the Virgin Islands; also, member banks exclude,
and noninsured commercial banks include, through June 30, 1970, a small
member bank engaged exclusively in trust business; beginning 1973,
excludes 1 national bank in Puerto Rico.
Beginning Dec. 31, 1973, June 30, 1974, and Dec. 31, 1974, respectively,
member banks exclude and noninsured nonmember banks include 1, 2,
and 3 noninsured trust companies that are members of the Federal Re­
serve System.
Comparability of figures for classes of banks is affected somewhat by
changes in F.R. membership, deposit insurance status, and by mergers
etc.
Figures are partly estimated except on call dates.
For revisions in series before June 30, 1947, see July 1947 B u l l e t in ,
pp. 870-71.

reserve-requirement purposes has been based on size of bank (net demand
deposits of more than $400 million), as described in the B u l l e t i n for

1 Averages of the most representative daily offering rate quoted by
dealers.
2 Averages of the most representative daily offering rate published by
finance companies, for varying maturities in the 90-179 day range.
3 Beginning Aug. 15, 1974, the rate is the average of the midpoint of
the range of daily dealer closing rates offered for domestic issues; prior
data are averages of the most representative daily offering rate quoted by
dealers.
4 Seven-day averages for week ending Wednesday. Beginning with
statement week ending July 25, 1973, weekly averages are based on the
daily average of the range of rates on a given day weighted by the volume




of transactions at these rates. For earlier statement weeks, the averages
were based on the daily effective rate—the rate considered most repre­
sentative of the day’s transactions, usually the one at which most trans­
actions occurred.
5 Except for new bill issues, yields are averages computed from daily
closing bid prices.
6 Bills quoted on bank-discount-rate basis.
7 Selected note and bond issues.
N o t e . —Figures for Treasury bills are the revised series described on p.
A-35 of the Oct. 1972 B u l l e t i n .

Number of
issues2. . .

1 Includes bonds rated Aa and A, data for which are not shown sep­
arately. Because of a limited number of suitable issues, the number
of corporate bonds in some groups has varied somewhat. As of Dec.
23, 1967, there is no longer an Aaa-rated railroad bond series.
2 Number of issues varies over time; figures shown reflect most recent
count.
N o t e . —Annual yields are averages of weekly, monthly, or quarterly
data.
Bonds: Monthly and weekly yields are computed as follows: (1) U.S.
Govt., averages of daily figures for bonds maturing or callable in 10 years
or more; from Federal Reserve Bank of New York. (2) State and local

500

govt., general obligations only, based on Thurs. figures, from Moody’s
Investors Service. (3) Corporate\ rates for “New issue” and “ Recently

offered” Aaa utility bonds, weekly averages- compiled by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System; and rates for seasoned issues,
averages of daily figures from Moody’s Investors Service.
Stocks: Standard and Poor’s corporate series. Dividend/price ratios
are based on Wed. figures. Earnings/price ratios as of end of period.
Preferred stock ratio based on 8 median yields for a sample of noncallable issues—12 industrial and 2 public utility. Common stock ratios
on the 500 stocks in the price index. Quarterly earnings are seasonally
adjusted at annual rates.

NOTES TO TABLES ON OPPOSITE PAGE:
Security Prices:
N o t e . —Annual

data are averages of weekly or monthly figures. Monthly
and weekly data are averages of daily figures unless otherwise noted and are
computed as follows: U.S. Govt, bonds, derived from average market
yields in table on p. A-28 on basis of ah assumed 3 per cent, 20-year
bond. Municipal and corporate bonds, derived from average yields as
computed by Standard and Poor’s Corp., on basis of a 4 per cent, 20year bond; Wed. closing prices. Common stocks , derived from com­
ponent common stock prices. Average daily volume o f trading, presently
conducted 5 days per week for 6 hours per day.




Stock Market Customer Financing:
* Margin credit includes all credit extended to purchase or carry stocks
or related equity instruments and secured at least in part by stock (Dec.
1970 B u l l e t i n , p. 920). Credit extended by brokers is end-of-month data
for member firms of the New York Stock Exchange. June data for banks
are universe totals; all other data for banks represent estimates for all
commercial banks based on reports by a reporting sample, which ac­
counted for 60 per cent of security credit outstanding at banks on June 30,
1971.
2 In addition to assigning a current loan value to margin stock generally,
Regulations T and U permit special loan values for convertible bonds and
stock acquired through exercise of subscription rights.
3 Nonmargin stocks are those not listed on a national securities exchange
and not included on the Federal Reserve System’s list of over the counter
margin stocks. At banks, loans to purchase or carry nonmargin stocks are
unregulated; at brokers, such stocks have no loan value.
4 Free credit balances are in accounts with no unfulfilled commitments
to the brokers and are subject to withdrawal by customers on demand.

1 With the publication of the Oct. 1974, Federal Reserve B u l l e t i n ,
these series have been corrected (beginning in fiscal year 1971) to exclude
special issues held by the Federal home loan banks and the General
Services Adm. Participation Certificate Trust, which are not Govt, ac­
counts.
2 Represents non-interest-bearing public debt securities issued to the
International Monetary Fund and international lending organizations.
New obligations to these agencies are handled by letters of credit.
3 Includes accrued interest payable on public debt securities, deposit
funds, miscellaneous liability and asset accounts, and seigniorage.
4 As of Jan. 3, 1972, the Treasury operating balance was redefined to
exclude the gold balance and to include previously excluded “Other deposi­




taries” (deposits in certain commercial depositaries that have been con­
verted from a time to a demand basis to permit greater flexibility in
Treasury cash management).
5 Includes debt of Federal home loan banks, Federal land banks, R.F.K.
Stadium Fund, FNMA (beginning Sept. 1968), and Federal intermediate
credit banks and banks for cooperatives (both beginning Dec. 1968).

notes issued to International Monetary Fund to conform with Office o f
Management and Budget’s presentation of the budget.

Note.— Half years may not add to fiscal year totals due to revisions in
series that are not yet available on a monthly basis.

The debt and ownership concepts were altered beginning with the
Mar. 1969 B u l l e t i n . The new concepts (1) exclude guaranteed se­
curities and (2) remove from U.S. Govt, agencies and trust funds
and add to other miscellaneous investors the holdings of certain
Govt.-sponsored but privately owned agencies and certain Govt, deposit
accounts. Beginning in July 1974, total gross public debt includes Federal
Financing Bank bills and excludes notes issued to the IMF ($825 million).

cluding mortgage companies) for purchase 'of single-family homes, as
compiled by Federal Home Loan Bank Board in cooperation with Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation. Data are not strictly comparable with
earlier figures beginning Jan. 1973.

American Life Insurance Association data for new commitments of
$100,000 and over each on mortgages for multifamily and nonresidential
nonfarm properties located largely in the United States. The 15 companies
account for a little more than one-half of both the total assets and the
nonfarm mortgages held by all U.S. life insurance companies. Averages,
which are based on number of loans, vary in part with loan composition
by type and location of property, type and purpose of loan, and loan

end of 10 years.
4 Rates on first mortgages, unweighted and rounded to the nearest
5 basis points.
5 Based on opinion reports submitted by field offices of prevailing
local conditions as of the first of the succeeding month. Yields are derived
from weighted averages of private secondary market prices for Sec. 203,
30-year mortgages with minimum downpayment and an assumed pre­
payment at the end of 15 years. Any gaps in data are due to periods of
adjustment to changes in maximum permissible contract interest rates.
amortization and prepayment terms. Data for the following are limited
to cases where information was available or estimates could be made:
capitalization rate (net stabilized property earnings divided by property
value); debt coverage ratio (net stabilized earnings divided by debt service);
and per cent constant (annual level payment, including principal and
interest, per $100 of debt). All statistics exclude construction loans,
increases in existing loans in a company’s portfolio, reapprovals, and loans
secured by land only.

ments for differences in trading days. Annual totals are based on data
not seasonally adjusted.
Estimates are based on accounting records and often include finance
charges. Renewals and refinancing of loans, purchases and sales of in­




stalment paper, and certain other transactions may increase the amount
of extensions and repayments without affecting the amount outstanding.
For back figures and description of the data, see “Consumer Credit,”

1 Because of improved procedures for collecting data for 1-family homes,
some totals are not strictly comparable with those prior to 1968. To im­
prove comparability, earlier levels may be raised by approximately 3 per
cent for total and private construction, in each case, and by 8 per cent for

i Includes reported or estimated gold holdings of international and
regional organizations, central banks and govts, of countries listed in
this table, and also of a number not shown separately here, and gold to be
distributed by the Tripartite Commission for the Restitution of Monetary
Gold; excludes holdings of the U.S.S.R., other Eastern European coun­
tries, and China Mainland.




The figures included for the Bank for International Settlements are
the Bank’s gold assets net of gold deposit liabilities. This procedure
avoids the overstatement of total world gold reserves since most of the
gold deposited with the BIS is included in the gold reserves of individual
countries.
2 Net gold assets of BIS, i.e., gold in bars and coins and other gold
assets minus gold deposit liabilities.

in reporting coverage. Figures on first line are comparable with those
shown for the preceding date; figures on second line are comparable with
those shown for the following date.

liabilities resulting from revaluation of the German mark in Oct. 1969 as
follows: liquid, $17 million, and other, $84 million.

tain accounts previously classified as official institutions are included
with banks; a number of reporting banks are included in the series for
the first time; and U.S. Treasury securities payable in foreign currencies
issued to official institutions of foreign countries have been increased in
value to reflect market exchange rates as of Dec. 31, 1971.

of nonmarketable, nonconvertible U.S. Treasury notes issued to foreign
official nonreserve agencies, the inclusion of investments by foreign
official reserve agencies in debt securities of U.S. Federally-sponsored
agencies and U.S. corporations, and minor rounding differences. Table
excludes IMF holdings of dollars, and holdings of U.S. Treasury letters
of credit and nonnegotiable, non-interest-bearing special U.S. notes held
by other international and regional organizations.

5 Monthly averages based on daily quotations.
N ote .—For

description and back data, see “International Finance,”
Section 15 of Supplement to Banking and Monetary Statistics , 1962.

NOTES TO TABLES 19a AND 19b ON PAGES A-70 AND A-71, RESPECTIVELY:
1 Cayman Islands included beginning Aug. 1973.
2 Total assets and total liabilities payable in U.S. dollars amounted to
$30,097 million and $30,233 million, respectively, on Mar. 31, 1975.
N ote .—Components




may not add to totals due to rounding.

For a given month, total assets may not equal total liabilities because
some branches do not adjust the parent’s equity in the branch to reflect
unrealized paper profits and paper losses caused by changes in exchange
rates, which are used to convert foreign currency values into equivalent
dollar values.

N o t e .—Rates shown are mainly those at which the central bank either
discounts or makes advances against eligible commercial paper and/or
govt, securities for commercial banks or brokers. For countries with
more than one rate applicable to such discounts or advances, the rate
shown is the one at which it is understood the central bank transacts
the largest proportion of its credit operations. Other rates for some of
these countries follow:
Argentina—3 and 5 per cent for certain rural and industrial paper, de­
pending on type of transaction;
Brazil—8 per cent for secured paper and 4 per cent for certain agricultural
paper;

Japan—Penalty rates (exceeding the basic rate shown) for borromings

from the central bank in excess of an individual bank’s quota;
United Kingdom —The Bank’s minimum lending rate, which is the
average rate of discount for Treasury bills established at the most recent
tender plus one-half per cent rounded to the nearest one-quarter per cent
above.
Venezuela—2 per cent for rediscounts of certain agricultural paper, 4V£
per cent for advances against government bonds, and 5l/ i per cent for
rediscounts of certain industrial paper and on advances against promissory
notes or securities of first-class Venezuelan companies.

i Data for individual States represent bank holding companies having
subsidiary banks in the respective States rather than bank holding com­
panies whose principal offices are located in such States. Total does not
equal sum of State figures because it has been corrected for duplications;
that is, holding companies that have subsidiary banks in more than one
State are included in the total only once.

N ote .— Companies listed include those that have reported to the Board
pursuant to the requirements of the Bank Holding Company Act and
include some companies that have filed registration statements but whose
holding company status has not yet been determined by the Board.
(A list showing the names, offices, total assets, and total deposits of
the subsidiary banks in the holding company groups is available upon
request.)

N ote .— This table gives a further breakdown of totals into multibank
and one-bank classifications.
Multibank and one-bank classifications are based on the number of
banks controlled, directly or indirectly, by the top-tiered holding com­




pany. Holding companies that are subsidiaries of other holding companies
are eliminated; therefore, the total number of multibank and one-bank
companies is lower than the total number of bank holding companies
shown above.
