 MONEY STOCK MEASURES
 Billions of dollars     

 
 1. M1 consists of (1) currency outside the U.S. Treasury, Federal Reserve Banks, and the vaults of depository institutions; (2) traveler's checks of
    nonbank issuers; (3) demand deposits at commercial banks (excluding those amounts held by depository institutions, the U.S. government, and 
    foreign banks and official institutions) less cash items in the process of collection and Federal Reserve float; and (4) other checkable deposits
    (OCDs), consisting of negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW) and automatic transfer service (ATS) accounts at depository institutions, credit union
    share draft accounts, and demand deposits at thrift institutions.  Seasonally adjusted M1 is constructed by summing currency, traveler's checks,
    demand deposits, and OCDs, each seasonally adjusted separately.
 2. M2 consists of M1 plus (1) savings deposits (including money market deposit accounts); (2) small-denomination time deposits (time deposits in
    amounts of less than $100,000), less individual retirement account (IRA) and Keogh balances at depository institutions; and (3) balances in
    retail money market mutual funds, less IRA and Keogh balances at money market mutual funds.  Seasonally adjusted M2 is constructed by summing
    savings deposits, small-denomination time deposits, and retail money funds, each seasonally adjusted separately, and adding this result to
    seasonally adjusted M1.
