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

For immediate release
December 14, 1972

The average of daily figures for total reserves of member banks increased
$79 million in the latest statement week to $31,071 million. Required reserves and
member bank borrowings at Federal Reserve Banks increased while excess reserves declined.
An increase in float and a decline in other Federal Reserve liabilities and
capital were the major factors supplying reserves in the latest statement week. More
than offsetting these reserve gains were increases in currency in circulation and
Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks. In addition, System Open Market operations
absorbed $428 million reserves net, on a weekly average basis. Member bank borrowings
averaged $807 million and exceeded excess reserves by $564 million compared to the
revised figure of $277 million for the previous week.
