Reserves and monetary base figures incorporate adjustments for discontinuities, or "breaks", associated with regulatory changes in reserve
requirements. (for more infor~~~ation, see Table 3.)
Seasonally adjusted, break-adjusted total reserves e~l seasonally adjusted, break-adjusted required reserves plus unadjusted excess
reserves. (Also, see footnote 2 on Table 2 and footnote 2 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 borrowi~ 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 r~ay 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 l l less unadjusted required reserves (Table 2, column 3).
The seasonal!¥ adjusted, break-adjusted monetary base consists of (1) se~son~lly.adjusted, break-adjusted total r~serves_plus (2) the
seasonally adJusted currency component of the money stock plus (31, for 1nst1tut1ons whose vault cash exceeds the1r requ1red reserves, the
seasonally adJusted, break-adjusted excess of current vault cash over the amount applied to satisfy current reserve requirements. (Also, see
footnote 3 on Table 2 and footnote 4 on Table 3. I

Reflects actual required reserves, with no adjustments to eliminate the effects of discontinuities, or "breaks", associated with regulatory
changes in reserve r~irements.
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 total reserves plus reqyired clearing balances and adjustments
to compensate for float at Federal Reserve Banks plus the currency component of the money stock plus, for institutions whose vault cash
exceeds their required reserves, the excess of current vault cash over the amount applieCI to satisfy current reserve requirements. After the
introduction of CRR, currency and vault cash figures are measured over computation periods ending on Mondays.
Excludes req~,rired clearing balances and adjustments to compensate for float and includes other off-balance sheet "as-of" adjustments.
Oates refer to the maintenance P.eriods in Which the vault cash can be used to satisfy reserve re~irements. Under contemporaneous reserve
reguirements, maintenance ~riods end 30 days after the lagged comp,utation periods in which the balances are held.
All vault cash held during the lagged compt1tation ~riod by "bound' institutions (i.e., those whose reguired reserves exceed their vault
cashl 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.

Figures reflect adjustments for discontinuities, or "breaks", associated with regulatory changes in reserve
req~Jl rements •
Break-adjusted total reserves equal break-adjusted required reserves !Table 3, column 3) plus excess reserves NSA
!Tabla 1, column 5).
To adjust required reserves for discontinuities due to r~latory cha~s in reserve requirements, a multiplicative
procedure is used to estimate what required reserves would have been in past periods had current reserve
requirements been in affect. Break-adJusted r~ired reserves includes r~ired reserves against transactions
dePosits and nonpersonal time and sav1ngs dePosits lbut not reservable norideposit liabilit1es.)
Break-adjusted monetary base ~ls 11) break-adjusted total reserves plus 12) the (unadjusted) currency component
of the money stock plus 13), for institutions whOse vault cash exceeds their required reserves, the break-adjusted
excess of current vault cash over the amount applied to satisfy current reserve requirements.
