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

For immediate release
February 22, 1973

The average of daily figures for total reserves of member banks increased
$89 million in the latest statement, week to $31,915 million. Required reserves and
member bank borrowings at Federal Reserve Banks declined while excess reserves increased.
A decline in other Federal Reserve assets was the only factor absorbing a
significant amount of reserves in the latest statement week. Offsetting this reserve
drain was a decline in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks and an increase in
float. In addition, System Open Market operations provided $647 million reserves net,
on a weekly average basis through outright purchase of Treasury bills and repurchase
agreements6 Some reserves were absorbed late in the statement week through matched
sales-purchase transactions. Member bank borrowings averaged $1,670 million and
exceeded excess reserves by $1,285 million compared to $1,799 million for the previous
week.
