FEDERAL

RESERVE

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

For M e d i a t e release
February 23, 19b2

age of daily figures of total member bank reserves held during th
week ended February 21 increased a net of $l4 million to $19,534 million. Estimate
currency and coin of member banks increased $24 million and their reserve balances
at the Federal Reserve Banks decreased $10 million. Estimated required reserves in­
creased $18 million; and estimated excess reserves decreased $4 million to $493 mil­
lion. Excess reserves exceeded member bank borrowings at the Federal Reserve Banks
by $421 million, compared with the revised figure of $427 million the week before.
The principal changes reducing average reserve balances with Federal
Reserve Banks were a decrease of $513 million in U. S. Government securities bought
outright and an increase of $l4l million in "other" F. R. accounts (net). The
principal offsetting changes were increases of $605 million in Federal Reserve float
and $28 million in U. S. Government securities held under repurchase agreement.
Total Reserve Bank credit increased $122 million.
As of Wednesday, February 21, holdings of U. S. Government securities
bought outright were $145 million lower than a week earlier and member bank borrow­
ings were $4l million lower. Outright holdings of bills, notes, and bonds aecreasec
$85 million, $3.>313 million, and $29 million, respectively, and certificates in­
creased $3,282 million. The increase in certificates and the decrease in notes
largly reflected the February 15 exchange of four issues of notes for $3,306 million
of new certificates and $1,500 million of the new issue of 4§- y«agr notes.
