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

H.4.1

For immediate release
March 2, 1972

The average of daily figures for total reserves of member banks declined
$135 million in the latest statement week to $31,736 million. Excess reserves and
member banks borrowings from Federal Reserve Banks increased, while required
reserves declined.
Major factors supplying reserves in the latest statement week were a
reduction in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks and a contraseasonal
rise in float. System Open Market operations absorbed $1,705 million of reserves
net, on a weekly average basis. More than one-quarter of these reserves were
absorbed through matched sale-purchase transactions. Excess reserves averaged
$211 million and exceeded borrowings by $143 million compared to $162 million for
the previous week.
