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

H.4.1

For immediate release
August 10, 1972

The average of daily figures for total reserves of member banks declined
$30 million in the latest statement week to $33,095 million. Required reserves
increased while excess reserves and member bank borrowings at Federal Reserve Banks
declined.
A seasonal increase in currency in circulation was the major factor
absorbing reserves in the latest statement week. An increase in float was the only
factor supplying a significant amount of reserves. In addition, System Open Market
operations provided $123 million reserves net, on a weekly average basis through
outright purchases of Federal Agency obligations and repurchase agreements. Member
bank borrowings averaged $287 million and exceeded excess reserves by $197 million
compared to $137 million for the previous week.
