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

H.4.1

For immediate release
December 21, 1972
The average of daily figures for total reserves of member banks increased
$322 million in the latest statement week to $31,393 million. Required reserves
and member bank borrowings at Federal Reserve Banks increased while excess reserves
declined.

A seasonal increase in currency in circulation was the major factor absorbing
reserves in the latest statement week. Partially offsetting this reserve drain was an
increase in float. In addition, System Open Market operations provided $507 million
reserves net, on a weekly average basis. Member bank borrowings were above the average
of recent weeks and exceeded excess reserves by $1,070 million compared to $564 million
for the previous week.
