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

H.4.1

For immediate release
April 6, 1972

The average of daily figures for total reserves of member banks increased
$383 million in the latest statement week to $32,636 million. Required and excess
reserves increased while member bank borrowings at the Federal Reserves Banks
declined.
Increases in currency in circulation and Treasury deposits with the
Federal Reserve Banks were major factors absorbing reserves in the latest statement
week. Partially offsetting these reserve drains was an increase in float. In
addition, System Open Market operations provided $1,006 million reserves net, on a
weekly average basis through outright purchases of Treasury bills and repurchase
agreements. Excess reserves averaged $396 million and exceeded borrowings by
$255 million compared to $155 million for the previous week.
