FEDERAL RESERVE
Factors Affecting Bank Reserves and
Condition Statement of F.R. Banks
For immediate release
March 23, 1972

H.4.1

The average of daily figures of total reserves of member banks declined
$516 million in the latest statement week to $31,602 million. Member bank borrowings from Federal Reserve Banks increased while required and excess reserves declined. On weekly average, excess reserves were slightly negative reflecting the
large surplus reserve carryover of the previous week.
The major factor providing reserves in the latest statement week was a
seasonal increase in float. Partially offsetting this reserve gain was an increase
in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks. In addition, System Open Market
operations absorbed $45 million net, on a weekly average basis. The Trading Desk
made some outright purchases of Treasury bills and coupon issues during the week,
but this was more than offset by maturing repurchase agreements made in the previous week. Member bank borrowings averaged $115 million and exceeded excess
reserves by $189 million. In the previous week excess reserves exceeded borrowings
by $391 million.
