pe--preliminary estimate

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. I
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. l
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 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 11 less unadjusted required reserves !Table 2, column 31.
The seasonally adjusted, break-adjusted monetary base consists of I l l seasonally adjusted, break-adjusted total reserves plus 121 the
seasonally adJusted currency component of the money stock plus 131, 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. !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 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 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 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 compensate 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
requirements, maintenance periods end 30 days after the lagged computation periods in which the balances are held.
All vault cash held during the lagged computation period by "bound" institutions li.e., those whose required reserves exceed their vault
cash! plus the amount of vault cash applied during the maintenance period by "nonbound" institutions li.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 1-l 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
requirements.
Break-adjusted total reserves equal break-adjusted required reserves (Table 3, column 31 plus excess reserves NSA
(Table 1, column 51.
To adjust required reserves for discontinuities due to regulatory changes 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 (but not reservable nondeposit liabilit1es.)
Break-adjusted monetary base equals 111 break-adjusted total reserves plus (2) the (unadjusted) currency component
of the money stock plus 131, 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.
