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

H.4.1

For immediate release
September 7, 1972

The average of daily figures for total reserves of member banks increased
$358 million in the latest statement week to $33,400 million. Required reserves
declined while excess reserves and member bank borrowings at Federal Reserve Banks
increased.
A decline in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks was the major
factor supplying reserves in the latest statement week. Offsetting this reserve
gain was an increase in currency in circulation and a decline in float. In addition, System Open Market operations absorbed $7 million reserves net, on a weekly
average basis through outright sales of Treasury bills and matched sales-purchase
transactions. Some reserves were supplied during the statement week, however,
through repurchase agreements. Member bank borrowings averaged $838 million and
exceeded excess reserves by $3 million compared to $197 million for the previous
week.
