Reserves and monetary base figures incorporate adjustments for discontinuities, or "breaks", associated with regulatory changes in reserve
requirements. I for more information, see Table 3.)
Seasonally adjusted, break-adjusted total reserves equal seasonally adjusted, break-adjusted required reserves plus unadjusted excess
reserves. I Also, see footnote 2 on Table 2 and footnote 2 on Table 3.)
3.
Seasonally adjusted, break-adjusted nonborrowed reserves equal seasonally adjusted, break-adjusted total reserves less unadjusted total
borrowi~s of depository inst1tutions from the Federal Reserve.
4.
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.
5.
Excess reserves NSA equals unadjusted total reserves ITable 2, column 1) less unadjusted required reserves (Table 2, column 3J.
6.
The seasonally adjusted, break-adjusted monetary base consists of 11) seasonally adjusted, break-adjusted total reserves plus 12) the
seasonally adJusted currenc~ component of the money stock plus 13), for all quarterly reporters on the "Report of Transaction Accounts, Other
Deposits and Vault Cash" an~ for all those weekly reporters whose vault cash exceeds their required reserves, the seasonally adjusted, breakadjusted difference between current vault cash and the amount applied to satisfy current reserve requirements. IAlso see footnote 3 on Table 2
and footnote 4 on table 3. J

Reflects actual required reserves, with no adjustments to eliminate the effects of discontinuities, or "breaks", associated with regulatory
chenges in reserve r~irements.
·
Reserve balances with Federal Reserve Banks plus vault cash used to satisfy reserve re~iremants.
The monetary base, not break-adjusted and not seasonally adjusted, consists of Ill total reserves plus 121 required cleari~ balances and
adjustments to compensate for float !t Federal Reserve Banks plus 131 the currency c~t of the money stock plus 141, for all quarterlY.
r~rters c;n- the "R~ri of Tl"!nsact 1on Accounts, Other D&p9s 1 ts arid Vault Cash" and f9r all tho!• weekly r~rters whose. vault cash exceeas
~hiur r'gyv·ed reserves; t~ d1fference betwa-, current vault cash and .the aii!Ot.t:'t appl!ed to S!hsfy current reserve req~nrements. After the
1ntroduCtidn of CRRi curriney and vault cash f1gures are measured over computat10n per1ods end1ng on Mondays.
Excludes req~,~irad c earing balances and adjustments to cQ~~~Pensata for float and includes other off-balance sheet "as-of" adjustments.
Dates refer to the maintenance periods in Which the vault cash can be used to satisfy reserve requirements. Under ·contemporaneous reserve
r~irements, maintenance ~riods end 30 days after the lagge~ c~tation ~riods in which the vault cash is held.
All vault cash held during the lagged c~tation ~riod by "bould" institutions I i.e. • those whose reguired reserves exceed their vault
cash) plus the amount of vault cash applied during the maintenance period by "nonbound" institutions I i.e., those whose vault cash exceeds
their r~ired reserves) to satisfy current reserve req~,~irements.
Total vault cash held by ~sitory institutions minus the amount applied to satisfy reserve requirements.
Consists of carryover only at depository institutions maintaining reserves on the basis of two-weak maintenance periods. Reflects excess l+l or
deficit I- l .reserves elig1ble to be carried forward into the two~ reserve maintenance period ending on the date shown.
