Factors Affecting Bank Reserves and
Condition Statement of F.R. Banks
For immediate release

H.4.1

May 27, 1971
The average of daily figures of total reserves of member banks declined
$137 million in the latest statement week to $30,248 million. Excess reserves
increased while required reserves and member bank borrowings at Federal Reserve
Banks both declined.
A decline in Other Federal Reserve assets and a seasonal decline in float
were the major factors draining reserves in the latest week. These reserve drains
were partially offset by reductions both in the Treasury deposits with Federal
Reserve Banks and currency in circulation. In addition, System Open Market
operations supplied $154 million in reserves, net, on a weekly average basis.
Member bank borrowings averaged $269 million and exceeded excess reserves by $94
million compared with $193 million for the previous week.
