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

For immediate release
December 13, 1973
The average of daily figures for total reserves of member banks
declined $617 million in the latest statement week to $34,234 million.
Required reserves showed little change while excess reserves and member
bank borrowings at Federal Reserve Banks declined more sharply.
Major factors providing reserves in the latest statement week
were declines in Treasury and foreign deposits with Federal Reserve Banks
and other Federal Reserve liabilities and capital. Offsetting these
reserve gains was an increase in currency in circulation. In addition,
System Open Market operations absorbed $825 million reserves net, on a
weekly average basis, through matched sale-purchase transactions and
maturing repurchase agreements made in the previous week. Some reserves
were provided during the week through repurchase agreements.
