Factors Affecting Bank Reserves and
Condition Statement of F.R. Banks
For immediate release
November 16, 1972

H.4.1

The average of daily figures for total reserves of member banks declined
$1,534 million in the latest statement week to $32,149 million. Required reserves
declined, reflecting the change in Regulation D effective November 9. Member
bank borrowings at Federal Reserve Banks also declined while excess reserves increased.
Major factors supplying reserves in the latest statement week were declines
in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks and other Federal Reserve liabilities
and capital. More than offsetting these reserve gains were a contraseasonal decline
in float, associated with the implementation of Regulation J on November 9, and a
seasonal increase in currency in circulation. System Open Market operations absorbed
$599 million reserves net, on a weekly average basis. Excess reserves averaged $579
million and exceeded member bank borrowings by $85 million. In the previous week
member bank borrowings exceeded excess reserves by $852 million.
