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

H.4.1

For immediate release
March 29, 1973

The average of daily figures for total reserves of member banks declined
$343 million in the latest statement to $31,659 million. Required reserves, excess
reserves and member bank borrowings all declined.
A sharp decline in float was the major factor absorbing reserves in the
latest week. Declines in currency in circulation and Treasury deposits at Federal
Reserve Banks partially offset this reserve drain. In addition, System Open Market
operations provided $154 million reserves, on a weekly average basis. Member bank
borrowings averaged $2,013 million and exceeded excess reserves by $1,943 million
compared to $1,867 million in the previous week.
