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

H.4.1

For immediate release
December 20, 1973

The average of daily figures for total reserves of member
banks increased $727 million in the latest statement week to
$35,093 million. Required reserves, excess reserves and member bank
borrowings at Federal Reserve Banks all increased.
Major factors absorbing reserves in the latest statement
week were increases in currency in circulation, foreign deposits
with Federal Reserve Banks and other Federal Reserve liabilities and
capital. Offsetting these reserves drains was an increase in float.
In addition, System Open Market operations provided $873 million reserves
net, on a weekly average basis through outright purchases of Treasury
bills and repurchase agreements.
