Factors Affecting Bank Reserves and
Condition Statement of F.R. Banks
For immediate release
January 10, 1973

The average of daily figures for total reserves of member banks
increased $555 million in the latest statement week to $36,190 million.
Required reserves increased while excess reserves and member bank borrowings at Federal Reserve Banks declined.
An increase in float and decreases in currency in circulation,
other deposits with Federal Reserve Banks and other Federal Reserve
liabilities and capital were the major factors providing reserves in
the latest statement week* Partially offsetting these reserve gains
was an increase in foreign deposits with Federal Reserve Banks. In
addition, System Open Market Operations absorbed $23 million reserves
net, on a weekly average basis, through matched sale-purchase transactions and maturing repurchase agreements made in the previous week.
Reserves were provided early in the week through outright purchases
of Treasury Bills and repurchase agreements.
