FEDERAL RESERVE
Factors Affecting Bank Reserves and
Condition Statement of F.R. Banks
H.4.1

For immediate release
May 17, 1973

The average of daily figures for total reserves of member banks increased
$632 million in the latest statement week to $32,899 million. Required reserves,
excess reserves and member bank borrowings at Federal Reserve Banks all increased.
An increase in currency in circulation and a decline in other Federal
Reserve assets were the major factors absorbing reserves in the latest statement
week. Partially offsetting this reserve drain were declines in Treasury deposits
with Federal Reserve Banks and other Federal Reserve liabilities and capital. In
addition, System Open Market operations provided $535 million reserves net, on a
weekly average basis.
