FEDERAL RESERVE
Factors Affecting Bank Reserves and
Condition Statement of F.R. Banks
For immediate release
May 20, 1971

H.4.1

The average of daily figures of total reserves of member banks increased
$281 million in the latest statement week to $30,385 million. Required reserves
and member bank borrowings at Federal Reserve Banks both increased while excess
reserves declined.
The major factors draining reserves in the latest week were declines both
in the gold stock and Other F.R. assets and an increase in currency in circulation.
These reserve drains were offset by a decline in Other F.R. liabilities and a moire
than seasonal increase in float. In addition, System Open Market operations
supplied $296 million in reserves net, on a weekly average basis. These reserves
were provided both through repurchase agreements and outright purchases of securities,
the latter including some System buying of coupons. Member bank borrowings averaged
$308 million and exceeded excess reserves by $193 million. In the previous week
member bank borrowings were $144 million less than excess reserves.
