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

For immediate release
February 1, 1973

The average of daily figures for total reserves of member banks in the
latest statement week of $32,548 million showed little change from the previous
week. Required reserves declined while excess reserves and member bank borrowings at
Federal Reserve Banks increased.
A more than seasonal decline in float and increases in both Treasury deposits
with Federal Reserve Banks and other Federal Reserve liabilities and capital were the
major factors absorbing reserves in the latest statement week. A decline in currency
in circulation was the only factor supplying a significant amount of reserves. In
addition, System Open Market operations provided $884 million of reserves net, on a
weekly average basis through outright purchase of Treasury bills and through repurchase
agreements. Member bank borrowings a^erag.d $1,311 million and exceeded excess reserves
by $877 million compared to $1,080 million for the previous week.
