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

H.4.1

For immediate release
March 15, 1973

The average of daily figures for total reserves of member banks declined
$408 million in the latest statement week to $31,623 million. Required reserves,
excess reserves and member bank borrowings at Federal Reserve Banks all declined.
Increases in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks and currency in
circulation were the major factors absorbing reserves in the latest week. Offsetting
these reserve drains were an increase in float and a decline in other Federal Reserve
liabilities and capital. In addition, System Open Market operations provided $293
million reserves net, on a weekly average basis, through outright purchase of Treasury
bills and repurchase agreements. Member bank borrowings averaged $1,491 million and
exceeded excess reserves by $1,400 million as compared to $1,383 million in the previous
week.
