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

H.4.1

For immediate release
August 3, 1972

The average of daily figures for total reserves of member banks increased
$61 million in the latest statement week to $33,125 million. Required reserves declined while excess reserves and member bank borrowings at Federal Reserve Banks
increased.
A seasonal decline in float was the major factor absorbing reserves in
the latest statement week. This reserve drain was partially offset by a decline in
foreign deposits with Federal Reserve Banks. In addition, System Open Market operations provided $88 million reserves net, on a weekly average basis through repurchase agreements. Member bank borrowings averaged $364 million and exceeded excess
reserves by $137 million compared to $79 million for the previous week.
