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

H.4.1

For immediate release
May 7, 1970.

The average of daily figures of total reserves of member banks
increased $580 million in the latest statement week to $28,582 million.
Required and excess reserves increased while member bank borrowings
declined.
The major factors absorbing reserve s in the latest statement
week were currency in circulation, Treasury d eposits with Federal Reserve
Banks, and other Federal Reserve liabilities and capital. Together these
factors absorbed over $550 million of reserve s. System Open Market operations
supplied nearly $1.2 billion of reserves, on a weekly average basis, both
through outright purchases of U.S. Government securities and through repurchase agreements. Member bank borrowings were well below the average
of recent weeks and exceeded excess reserves by $445 million, compared to
the revised figure of $917 million for the pr evious week.
