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

H.4.1

For immediate release
May 4, 1972

The average of daily figures for total reserves of member banks increased
$153 million in the latest statement week to $32,863 million. Required reserves
increased while excess reserves and member bank borrowings at the Federal Reserve
Banks declined.
A seasonal decline in float was the major factor absorbing reserves in the
latest statement week. More than offsetting this reserve drain was a decline in
the level of Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks. In addition, System
Open Market operations provided $3 million reserves net, on a weekly average basis.
Excess reserves averaged $167 million and exceeded borrowings by $50 million compared
to $22 million in the previous week.
