(For more information, see Table 3.) Seasonally adjusted, break-adjusted total reserves equal seasonally adjusted, break-adjusted required reserves plus unadjusted excess reserves. (Also, see footnote 2 on Table 2 and footnote~: on Table 3.) Seasonally adjusted, break-adjusted nonborrowed reserves equal seasonally adjusted, break-adjusted total reserves less unadjusted total borrowings of depository institutions from the Federal Reserve. Extended credit consists of borrowing at the discount window under the terms and conditions established for the extended credit program to help depository institutions deal with sustained liquidity pressures. Because there is not the same need to repay such borrowing promptly as there is with traditional short-term adjustment credit, the money market impact of extended credit is similar to that of nonborrowed reserves. Excess reserves NSA equals unadjusted total reserves (Table 2, column 1) less unadjusted required reserves (Table 2, column 3). The seasonally adjusted, break-adJusted monetary base consists of (1 l seasonally adJusted, break-adjusted total reserves plus (2) the seasonally adjusted currency component of the money Btock plus (3), for all quarterly reporters on the "Report of Transaction Accounts, Other Deposits and Vault Cash and for all those weekly reporters whose vault cash exceeds their required reserves, theā¢ seasonally adjusted, break-adjusted difference between current vault cash and the amount applied to satisfy current reserve requirements.

Reserve balances with Federal Reserve Banks plus vault cash used to satisfy reserve requirements. The monetary base, not break-adjusted and not seasonally adjusted, consists of (1) total reserves plus (2) required clearing balances and adjustments to compensate for float at Federal Reserve Banks plus (3) the currency component of the money stock plus (4), for all quarterly reporters on the "Report of Transaction Accounts, Other Deposits and Vault Cash" and for all those weekly reporters whose vault cash exceeds their required reserves, the difference between current vault cash and the amount applied to satisfy current reserve requirements. After the introduction of CRR currency and vault ' cash figures are measured over computation periods ending on Mondays. Excludes required clearing balances and adjustments to compen$ate for float and includes other off-balance sheet "as-of" adjustments. Dates refer to the maintenance periods in which the vault cash ~n ~e us~d to satisfy reserve requirem~nts. Starting wi~h the maintenance period ended November 25, 1992, each maintenance period for weekly reporters ends.16 days after the lagge~ comp~tat1on penod,!n wh1c~ the yau[t cash 1s held. Previously, each ma1ntenanc_e penod ended 30 days after the lagged computation period. All vault cash held dunng the lagged computation penod by "bound 1nst1tut1ons (I.e., those whose required reserves exceed the1r vault cash) plus the amount of vault cash applied during the maintenance period by "nonbound" institutions (i.e., those whose vault cash exceeds their required reserves) to satisfy current reserve requirements. Total vault cash held by depository institutions minus the amount applied to satisfy reserve requirements. Consists of carryover only at depository institutions maintaining reserves on the basis of two-week maintenance periods. Reflects excess(+) or deficit(-) reserves eligible to be carried forward into the two-week reserve maintenance period ending on the date shown. preliminary preliminary estimate H.3(502) Table 3 AGGREGATE RESERVES OF DEPOSITORY INSTITUTIONS AND THE MONETARY BASE Adjusted for changes in reserve requirements' Averages of daily figures, not seasonally adjusted Millions of dollars Reserves of depository institutions Date totaF ~WQ non borrowed required 3 Monetary base4 1996-Mar. 54954 54933 53817 434842 Apr.
