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

H.4.1

For immediate release
December 9, 1971

The average of daily figures for total reserves of member banks declined
$507 million in the latest statement week to $30,732 million. Required reserves,
excess reserves and member bank borrowings at the Federal Reserve Banks all
declined.
A decline in Treasury deposits with the Federal Reserve Banks was the
major factor supplying reserves in the latest statement week. This reserve gain
was about offset by a seasonal rise in currency in circulation. In addition,
System Open Market operations absorbed $71 million reserves net, on a weekly average
basis. Most of this absorption was through the maturing of repurchase agreements
made previously. Some reserves were supplied during the statement week, however,
through outright: purchases of coupon issues and repurchase agreements. Member bank
borrowings were below the average of recent weeks and were $54 million less than
excess reserves. In the previous week they exceeded excess reserves by $143 million.
