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

H.4.1

For immediate release
November 24, 1972

The average of daily figures for total reserves of member banks declined
$1,655 million in the latest statement week to $30,494 million. Required reserves
declined, reflecting the implementation of the second stage of Regulation D
effective November 16. Excess reserves and member bank borrowings at Federal
Reserve Banks both declined.
A seasonal, increase in float was the major factor supplying reserves in
the latest statement week. An increase in currency in circulation and a decline
in other Federal Reserve assets more than offset this reserve gain. In addition,
System Open Market operations absorbed $307 million reserves net, on a weekly
average basis. Member bank borrowings averaged $421 million and exceeded excess
reserves by $279 million. In the previous week excess reserves exceeded member
bank borrowings by $85 million.
