pe--preliminary estimate

Reserves and monetary ba~e figuri!IS incorporate adjustments for discontinuities, or "breaks", associated with regulatory changes in reserve
requ1rements. (for more 1nformat1on, 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.)
Seasonally adjusted, break-adjusted nonborrowed reserves equal seasonally adjusted, break-adjusted total reserves less unadjusted total
borrowings of depository inst1tutions from the Federal Reserve.
Extended credit consists of borrowiryg 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 ITable 2, column ll less unadjusted required reserves ITable 2, column 3J.
The seasonally adjusted, break-adjusted monetary base consists of Ill seasonally adjusted, break-adjusted total reserves plus 12) the
seasonally adJusted currency component of the money stock plus 13), for institutions whose vault cash exceeds their required reserves, the
seasonally adJusted, break-adjusted excess of current vault cash over the amount applied to satisfy current reserve requirements. IAlso, see
footnote 3 on Table 2 and footnote 4 on Table 3. l

Reflects actual required reserves, with no adjustments to eliminate the effects of discontinuities, or "breaks", associated with regulatory
changes in 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 total reserves plus required cleari~ 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 appliea to sat1sfy current reserve requirements. After the
introduction ~f CRR, cu~rency and vault ca~h figures are measured over computati~ periods ending on Mondays.
.
Excludes requ1red clear1ng balances and adJustments to compensate for float and 1ncludes other off-balance sheet "as-of" adJustments.
Oates refer to the maintenance periods in Which the vault cash can be used to satisfy reserve re~uirements. Under contemporaneous reserve
reguirements, maintenance periods end 30 days after the lagged co~tation periods in which the oalances are held.
All vault cash held during the lagged computation period by "bound' institutions li.e., those whose required 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.
Consists of carryover only at depository institutions maintaining reserves on the basis of two-week maintenance periods. Reflects excess (+)or
deficit (-) reserves elig1ble to be carried forward into the two-week reserve maintenance period ending on the date shown.

pe--preliminary estimate

Figures reflect adjustments for discontinuities, or "breaks", associated with regulatory changes in reserve
requ1rements.
Break-adjusted total reserves equal break-adjusted required reserves (Table 3, column 3) plus excess reserves NSA
(Table 1, column 5).
To adjust required reserves for discontinuities due to regulatory cha~es 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 effect. Break-adJusted required reserves includes required reserves against transactions
deposits and nonpersonal time and sav1ngs deposits lbut not reservable nondeposit liabilit1es.l
Break-adjusted monetary base equals (1) 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.
