Factors Affecting Bank Reserves and
Condition Statement of F.R. Banks

H.4.1

For immediate release
April 20, 1972

The average of daily figures for total reserves of member banks increased
$227 million in the latest statement week to $32,624 million. Required reserves and
member bank borrowings at the Federal Reserve Banks increased while excess reserves
declined. Excess reserves were negative, on weekly average, reflecting in part the
reserve carryover surplus of the previous week.
An increase in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks was the major
factor absorbing reserves in the latest statement week. A seasonal increase in
float and a decline in other F.R. liabilities and capital more than offset this reserve drain. In addition, System Open Market operations provided $76 million reserves net, on a weekly average basis through outright purchases of Treasury bills
and coupon issues early in the statement week. Some reserves were absorbed near
the end of the week through matched sale-purchase transactions. Member bank borrowings averaged $45 million and exceeded excess reserves by $54 million. In the
previous week excess reserves exceeded borrowings by $199 million.
