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

H.4.1

For immediate release
December 30, 1971

The average of daily figures for total reserves of member banks increased
$759 million in the latest statement week to $31,951 million. Required reserves,
excess reserves and member bank borrowings at the Federal Reserve Banks all increased.
An increase in currency in circulation and Treasury deposits with the
Federal Reserve Banks were the major factors absorbing reserves in the latest
statement week. Partially offsetting these reserve drains was an increase in float.
In addition, System Open Market operations provided $625 million reserves net, on
a weekly average basis primarily through repurchase agreements. Member bank
borrowings averaged $ 216 million and were $142 million less than excess reserves.
In the previous week, borrowings exceeded excess reserves by $132 million.
