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

H.4.1

For immediate release
February 26, 1970

The average of daily figures of total reserves of member banks decreased
$533 million in the latest statement week to $27,509 million. Required reserves
and excess reserves both declined in the latest period.
A somewhat greater than seasonal decline in currency in circulation
was the major factor providing reserves in the latest statement week. Several
other items also provided a significant amount of reserves. These increases
were more than offset by System Open Market operations which absorbed $570
million in reserves net on a weekly average basis, although the system did
supply reserves through repurchase agreements. Member bank borrowing decreased
somewhat and exceeded excess reserves by $991 million compared to the revised
figure of $888 million for the previous week.
