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

H.4.1

For immediate release
August 31, 1972

The average of daily figures for total reserves of member banks increased
$127 million in the latest statement week to $33,042 million. Required reserves declined while excess reserves and member bank borrowings at Federal Reserve Banks increased.
Major factors supplying reserves in the latest statement week were declines
in both currency in circulation and Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks.
Offsetting these reserve gains was a more than seasonal decline in float. In addition,
System Open Market operations absorbed $276 million reserves net, on a weekly average
basis through outright sales of Treasury bills and Federal Agency obligations. Some
reserves were supplied during the week, however, through repurchase agreements. Member
bank borrowings averaged $477 million and exceeded excess reserves by $197 million
compared to $219 million for the previous week.
