From early May 1975 to early August 1975 the monetary
base, on a nonseasonally adjusted basis, increased by $2.8
billion, compared to a $3.2 billion increase from early August
1975 to early March 1976. Although the levels of change in these
two periods were very close, the factors which contributed to these
changes were different, as indicated in the table below. For
example, during the three months from May to August 1975 Federal
Reserve holdings of securities decreased by $5.4 billion (a
negative influence on the base), while Treasury deposits at Federal
Reserve Banks decreased by $7.4 billion (a positive influence on
the base). In contrast, over the most recent seven months Federal
Reserve holdings of securities increased by $8.3 billion (a
positive influence on the base), while Treasury deposits at
Federal Reserve Banks increased by $7.6 billion (a negative
influence on the base).
The effect of the reserve adjustment magnitude (RAM)
was greater in the most recent seven months — accounting for
almost half of the change in the monetary base — compared to only
twenty percent in the previous three months. The easing of reserve
requirements on two occasions in the most recent seven months
contributed to the larger effect of RAM on changes in the monetary
base over the most recent period.
