FEDERAL RESERVE
Factors Affecting Bank Reserves and
Condition Statement of F.R. Banks
H.4.1

For immediate release
April 5, 1973

The average of daily figures for total reserves of member banks increased $943 million in the latest statement week to $32,602 million. Required
reserves and excess reserves increased while member bank borrowings at Federal
Reserve Banks declined.
Increases in currency in circulation and other Federal Reserve liabilities and capital were the major factors absorbing reserves in the latest
statement week. Offsetting these reserve drains was a decline in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks. In addition, System Open Market operations
provided $998 million reserves net, on a weekly average basis through outright
purchases of Treasury bills and repurchase agreements. Member bank borrowings
averaged $1,755 million and exceeded excess reserves by $1,248 million compared
to $1,943 million in *:he previous week.
