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

H.4.1

For immediate release
March 9, 1972

The average of daily figures for total reserves of member banks declined
$105 million in the latest statement week to $31,490 million. Excess reserves and
member banks borrowings from Federal Reserve Banks increased, while required reserves
declined.
A somewhat greater than seasonal decline in float and an increase in
currency in circulation were the major factors absorbing reserves in the latest
statement week. Partially offsetting these reserve drains was a reduction in Treasury
deposits with Federal Reserve Banks. In addition, System Open Market operations
provided $150 million of reserves net, on a weekly average basis. Excess reserves
averaged $167 million and exceeded borrowings by $64 million compared to the revised
figure of $2 million for the previous week.
