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. l
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 tota!.
borrowings of depository inst1tutions from ~he Federal Reserve.
Extend~d cr~dit consists of borrowing at the discount window under the terms and conditions established for the extended credit program to
help deposito,~¥ institutions deal witt. sustained liquidity pressures, Ber.ause there is not the same need to repay such borrowi~ promptly
a~ there is t<~i th tradi tiona! short-term C~~djustmen·t credit, the mc>ney market impact of extended credit is similar to that of nonoorrowed

changes in reserve requirements.
Reserve balances with Federal Reserve Banks plus vault cash used to satisfy reserve re~irements.
The monetary base, not break-adjusted and not seasonally adjusted, consists of (1) total reserves plus 12) required cleari~ 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 exceects
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 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 c~tation ~riods in which the vault cash is held.
All vault cash held during the lagged Cl?f!IPUtation period by "bound' institutions I i.e., those whose required reserves exceed their vault
cash) plus the aiiiOU"'t of vault cash applied during the maintenance period by "nonbound" institutions I 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
requirements.
Break-adjusted total reserves equal break-adjusted required reserves (Table 3, column 31 plus excess reserves NSA
(Table 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 effect. Break-adjusted required reserves are equal to break-adjusted required reserves against transactions
deposits.
The break-adjusted monetary base ~ls 111 break-adjusted total reserves plus 121 the (unadjusted) currency component
of the money stock plus ( 3 I, for all quarterly r~orters 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 break-adjusted
difference between current vault cash and the amount applied to satisfy current reserve requirements.
