Industrial production rose 0.5 percent in April after moving sideways the previous two months. In April, manufacturing increased 1.0 percent, bolstered by a strong gain in the output of motor vehicles and parts; factory output excluding motor vehicles and parts moved up 0.4 percent. The index for mining rose 0.6 percent, while the index for utilities dropped 3.1 percent, as milder temperatures in April lowered demand for heating. At 103.0 percent of its 2017 average, total industrial production in April was 0.2 percent above its year-earlier level. Capacity utilization edged up to 79.7 percent in April, a rate that is equal to its long-run (1972–2022) average.

H41: Change to the H.4.1 to include information related to MS Facilities LLC and to provide additional information related to lending activities

In table 4, the outstanding amount of facility asset purchases for MS Facilities LLC (Main Street Lending Program) reflects the quarterly update to the allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses was estimated based upon the Main Street Lending Program holdings as of March 31, 2023.

On May 1, 2023, the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation closed First Republic Bank and appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) as receiver. For purposes of the H.4.1, the Federal Reserve's outstanding lending to First Republic Bank at the Discount Window and through the Bank Term Funding Program are now reflected in table 1 as "Other credit extensions". The outstanding loans are being repaid from assets left behind in the receivership, proceeds of the purchase and assumption agreement between the FDIC and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, and pursuant to an FDIC guarantee.

G17: G.17 Data for October 2021 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for October 2021 are now available.

Industrial production rose 1.6 percent in October after falling 1.3 percent in September; about half of the gain in October reflected a recovery from the effects of Hurricane Ida.

G17: G.17 Data for August 2021 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for September 2021 are now available.

Industrial production fell 1.3 percent in September after moving down 0.1 percent in August; output was previously reported to have risen 0.4 percent in August. In September, manufacturing output decreased 0.7 percent: The production of motor vehicles and parts fell 7.2 percent, as shortages of semiconductors continued to hobble operations, while factory output elsewhere declined 0.3 percent. The output of utilities dropped 3.6 percent, as demand for cooling subsided after a warmer-than-usual August. Mining production fell 2.3 percent.

The lingering effects of Hurricane Ida more than accounted for the drop in mining in September; they also contributed 0.3 percentage point to the drop in manufacturing. Overall, about 0.6 percentage point of the drop in total industrial production resulted from the impact of the hurricane.

Despite the decrease in September, total industrial production rose 4.3 percent at an annual rate for the third quarter as a whole, its fifth consecutive quarter with a gain of at least 4 percent.

At 100.0 percent of its 2017 average, total industrial production in September was 4.6 percent above its year-earlier level. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector fell 1.0 percentage point in September to 75.2 percent, a rate that is 4.4 percentage points below its long-run (1972–2020) average.

G17: G.17 Data for August 2021 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for August 2021 are now available.

Industrial production increased 0.4 percent in August after moving up 0.8 percent in July. Late-month shutdowns related to Hurricane Ida held down the gain in industrial production by an estimated 0.3 percentage point. Although the hurricane forced plant closures for petrochemicals, plastic resins, and petroleum refining, overall manufacturing output rose 0.2 percent. Mining production fell 0.6 percent, reflecting hurricane-induced disruptions to oil and gas extraction in the Gulf of Mexico. The output of utilities increased 3.3 percent, as unseasonably warm temperatures boosted demand for air conditioning.

At 101.6 percent of its 2017 average, total industrial production in August was 5.9 percent above its year-earlier level and 0.3 percent above its pre-pandemic (February 2020) level. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector rose 0.2 percentage point in August to 76.4 percent, a rate that is 3.2 percentage points below its long-run (1972–2020) average.

H6: Money Stock Revisions
The Federal Reserve revised its measures of the money stock and their components to incorporate a new quarterly benchmark. Revisions to deposit data for banks and thrift institutions that are not weekly deposit reporters start in 2020. 1 Revisions to data on retail money market mutual funds start in 1996. This quarterly benchmark also incorporates revisions to the amount of foreign currency denominated deposits excluded from the savings deposit and small time deposit components of the aggregates. 2 The revisions make use of more granular reporting currently required to more accurately estimate the amounts deducted from relevant components starting in 2000 to date. For more information on the revisions to savings and small time deposits, see the H.6 Technical Q&As.

1. Revised quarterly data are from the commercial bank Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income (FFIEC 031, 041, and 051; OMB No. 7100-0036), the credit union Statement of Financial Condition (NCUA 5300/5300SF; OMB No. 3133-0004), and the discontinued quarterly collection of the Report of Deposits and Vault Cash (FR 2900; OMB No. 7100-0087).

2. Information on foreign currency denominated deposits are reported quarterly on the Report of Foreign (Non-U.S.) Currency Deposits (FR 2915; OMB No. 7100-0237) and subtracted from the appropriate component when constructing the monetary aggregates.


August 17, 2021

G17: G.17 Data for July 2021 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for July 2021 are now available.

Industrial production increased 0.9 percent in July after moving up 0.2 percent in June. In July, manufacturing output rose 1.4 percent. About half of the gain in factory output is attributable to a jump of 11.2 percent for motor vehicles and parts, as a number of vehicle manufacturers trimmed or canceled their typical July shutdowns. Despite the large increase last month, vehicle assemblies continued to be constrained by a persistent shortage of semiconductors; the production of motor vehicles and parts in July was about 3-1/2 percent below its recent peak in January 2021. The output of utilities decreased 2.1 percent in July, while the index for mining rose 1.2 percent.

At 101.1 percent of its 2017 average, total industrial production in July was 6.6 percent above its year-earlier level but 0.2 percent below its pre-pandemic (February 2020) level. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector rose 0.7 percentage point in July to 76.1 percent, a rate that is 3.5 percentage points below its long-run (1972–2020) average.

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for June 2021 are now available.

Industrial production increased 0.4 percent in June after moving up 0.7 percent in May. In June, manufacturing output edged down 0.1 percent, as an ongoing shortage of semiconductors contributed to a decrease of 6.6 percent in the production of motor vehicles and parts. Excluding motor vehicles and parts, factory output increased 0.4 percent. The output of utilities advanced 2.7 percent, reflecting heightened demand for air conditioning, as much of the country experienced a heat wave in June. The index for mining increased 1.4 percent.

For the second quarter as a whole, total industrial production rose at an annual rate of 5.5 percent. Manufacturing output increased at an annual rate of 3.7 percent despite a drop of 22.5 percent for motor vehicles and parts.

At 100.1 percent of its 2017 average, total industrial production in June was 9.8 percent above its year-earlier level but 1.2 percent below its pre-pandemic (February 2020) level.

May 28, 2021

G17: G.17 Annual Revision Released
The Federal Reserve has revised its index of industrial production (IP) and the related measures of capacity and capacity utilization. The most prominent features of the revision are an update of the base year to 2017 for the indexes, a conversion of the industry-group indexes to the 2017 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), the incorporation of comprehensive annual production data for 2017 through 2019, and the incorporation of new survey utilization rate data for 2019 and 2020. The revision shows slower manufacturing IP growth and somewhat higher utilization rates in recent years.


May 14, 2021

G17: G.17 Data for April 2021 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for April 2021 are now available.

Total industrial production increased 0.7 percent in April. The indexes for mining and utilities increased 0.7 percent and 2.6 percent, respectively; the index for manufacturing rose 0.4 percent despite a drop in motor vehicle assemblies that principally resulted from shortages of semiconductors. An important contributor to the gain in factory output was the return to operation of plants that were damaged by February's severe weather in the south central region of the country and had remained offline in March. The weather-induced drop in total industrial production in February and the subsequent rebound in March are now estimated to have been larger than reported last month.

At 106.3 percent of its 2012 average in April, total industrial production has moved up 16.5 percent from its level in April 2020 (the trough of the pandemic), but it was 2.7 percent below its pre-pandemic (February 2020) level. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector rose 0.5 percentage point in April to 74.9 percent, a rate that is 4.7 percentage points below its long-run (1972–2020) average.


May 14, 2021

G17: G.17 Annual Revision Planned to be Released May 28, 2021

The Federal Reserve Board plans to issue its annual revision to the indexes of industrial production (IP) and the related measures of capacity utilization at noon (EDT) on May 28, 2021. The base year for the revised indexes will be 2017. New annual benchmark data for manufacturing for 2017 through 2019 will be incorporated, as well as other annual data, including information on the mining of metallic and nonmetallic minerals (except fuels). The weights for market-group splits of the industry-level indexes will be updated with information from the 2012 benchmark input-output accounts from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. The updated IP indexes will include revisions to the monthly production indicator (either product data or input data) and to seasonal factors for each industry. In addition, the estimation methods for some series may be changed. Any modifications to the methods for estimating the output of an industry will affect the index from 1972 to the present.

Capacity and capacity utilization will be revised to incorporate data for manufacturing through the fourth quarter of 2020 from the U.S. Census Bureau's Quarterly Survey of Plant Capacity Utilization, along with new data on capacity from the U.S. Geological Survey, the U.S. Department of Energy, and other organizations.

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for March 2021 are now available.

In March, total industrial production increased 1.4 percent. The gain in March followed a drop of 2.6 percent in February, which largely resulted from widespread outages related to severe winter weather in the south central region of the country. For the first quarter as a whole, total industrial production rose 2.5 percent at an annual rate. In March, manufacturing production and mining output increased 2.7 percent and 5.7 percent, respectively. The output of utilities dropped 11.4 percent, as the demand for heating fell because of a swing in temperatures from an unseasonably cold February to an unseasonably warm March.

At 105.6 percent of its 2012 average, total industrial production in March was 1.0 percent higher than its year-earlier level, but it was 3.4 percent below its pre-pandemic (February 2020) level. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector increased 1.0 percentage point in March to 74.4 percent, a rate that is 5.2 percentage points below its long-run (1972–2020) average.

Z1: 2020:Q4 data correction
Due to a data error, the 2020:Q4 publication of the Financial Accounts of the United States has been reposted, including all affected data files and DDP. The 2020:Q4 value for series FL075035243 Interest rates and price indexes; owner-occupied real estate CoreLogic national (SA) was corrected. Levels and revaluations for input series FL165035023, FL115035023, FL105035023, which directly use the CoreLogic price index, have been corrected. FL010000076 has also been corrected. Corrections to the mentioned series resulted in corrections to numerous calculated series, including net worth of households and nonprofits (series FL152090005), which now stands at $130.37 trillion, $0.21 trillion higher than originally reported on March 11, 2021. $198 billion of this correction to net worth of household and nonprofits is from series FL115035023 Nonfinancial noncorporate business; residential real estate at market value, which is a component of LM152090205 Households and nonprofit organizations; proprietors' equity in noncorporate business -- an asset of the household and nonprofit organizations shown on table B.101 line 28.

G17: G.17 Data for February 2021 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for February 2021 are now available.

In February, total industrial production decreased 2.2 percent. Manufacturing output and mining production fell 3.1 percent and 5.4 percent, respectively; the output of utilities increased 7.4 percent.

The severe winter weather in the south central region of the country in mid-February accounted for the bulk of the declines in output for the month. Most notably, some petroleum refineries, petrochemical facilities, and plastic resin plants suffered damage from the deep freeze and were offline for the rest of the month. Excluding the effects of the winter weather would have resulted in an index for manufacturing that fell about 1/2 percent and in an index for mining that rose about 1/2 percent. Both indexes would have remained below their pre-pandemic (February 2020) levels.

At 104.7 percent of its 2012 average, total industrial production in February was 4.2 percent lower than its year-earlier level. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector decreased 1.7 percentage points in February to 73.8 percent, a rate that is 5.8 percentage points below its long-run (1972–2020) average.

H6: First Monthly H.6 Statistical Release

As announced on December 17, 2020, the Board's Statistical Release H.6, "Money Stock Measures," will recognize savings deposits as a type of transaction account, starting with the publication today. This recognition reflects the Board's action on April 24, 2020, to remove the regulatory distinction between transaction accounts and savings deposits by deleting the six-per-month transfer limit on savings deposits in Regulation D. This change means that savings deposits have had a similar regulatory definition and the same liquidity characteristics as the transaction accounts reported as "Other checkable deposits" on the H.6 statistical release since the change to Regulation D. Consequently, today's H.6 statistical release combines release items "Savings deposits" and "Other checkable deposits" retroactively back to May 2020 and includes the resulting sum, reported as "Other liquid deposits," in the M1 monetary aggregate. This action increases the M1 monetary aggregate significantly while leaving the M2 monetary aggregate unchanged.

Today's H.6 statistical release also implements a number of streamlining modifications, also previously announced. The H.6 statistical release is now published at a monthly frequency and contains only monthly average data needed to construct the monetary aggregates. Components of the monetary aggregates are reported at a total industry level without a breakdown by banks and thrifts. The release is available at 1:00 p.m. on the fourth Tuesday of every month in only one format—HTML.

For more information on the first monthly H.6 statistical release, see the H.6 Technical Q&As. Retroactive updates to transaction accounts and savings deposits data back to May 2020 along with historical data for discontinued release items are available in the "build your own" and preformatted packages associated with the H.6 release in the Download Program (DDP). The DDP for the H.6 statistical release will also contain weekly average, nonseasonally adjusted data for the monetary aggregates and their components. Even though these data have been dropped from the release, the DDP will contain historical weekly average, nonseasonally adjusted data back to 1975 or the early 1980s, depending on the release item, and through the weeks constituting the last month published on the monthly H.6 statistical release.

G17: G.17 Data for January 2021 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for January 2021 are now available.

Industrial production increased 0.9 percent in January. Manufacturing output rose 1.0 percent, about the same as its average gain over the previous five months. Mining production advanced 2.3 percent, while the output of utilities declined 1.2 percent. At 107.2 percent of its 2012 average, total industrial production in January was 1.8 percent lower than its year-earlier level. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector increased 0.7 percentage point in January to 75.6 percent, a rate that is 4.0 percent below its long-run (1972–2020) average.

Note: The data in this release include preliminary estimates of industrial capacity for 2021 (table 8). Measured from fourth quarter to fourth quarter, total industrial capacity is projected to rise 0.5 percent this year after being unchanged in 2020. Manufacturing capacity is expected to edge up 0.2 percent in 2021 after slipping 0.2 percent in 2020. Capacity in the mining sector is estimated to drop 1.7 percent in 2021 after falling 2.1 percent in 2020. Capacity at electric and natural gas utilities is projected to increase 2.6 percent in 2021 after expanding 3.2 percent in 2020.

H8: Revisions to H.8 DDP data

Data released on January 22, 2021 included revised historical data for three series between 1973 and 2009. The three revised series were: other assets including trading assets; borrowings; and other liabilities including trading liabilities. No other historical data were revised.

As background, on January 12, 2018, several changes to line items shown on the H.8 release were announced. Some of the changes involved the combination of series that had previously been available separately. Three such changes were:

1. Trading assets, previously published separately, became part of other assets;

2. Similarly, trading liabilities became part of other liabilities;

3. Borrowings from banks and borrowings from nonbanks, previously published separately, became borrowings.

At the time of the announcement, historical data for these three newly combined series were made available back to 2010. Recently, estimations of these three series were constructed for periods prior to 2010, and the data were made available through the Data Download Program as of January 22, 2021.

G17: G.17 Data for December 2020 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for December 2020 are now available.

Industrial production advanced 1.6 percent in December, with gains of 0.9 percent for manufacturing, 1.6 percent for mining, and 6.2 percent for utilities. The increase for utilities resulted from a rebound in demand for heating after unseasonably warm weather in November. For the fourth quarter as a whole, total industrial production rose at an annual rate of 8.4 percent. At 105.7 percent of its 2012 average, total industrial production in December was 3.6 percent lower than it was a year earlier and 3.3 percent below its pre-pandemic February reading. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector rose 1.1 percentage points in December to 74.5 percent, a rate that is 5.3 percentage points below its long-run (1972–2019) average.

H41: Change to the H.4.1 to include information related to footnotes for certain lending facilities
The Board's H.4.1 statistical release, "Factors Affecting Reserve Balances of Depository Institutions and Condition Statement of Federal Reserve Banks," has been modified to reflect the Federal Reserve's return of a portion of Treasury's equity investment in the Corporate Credit Facilities LLC, Municipal Liquidity Facility LLC, and TALF II LLC, which occurred on January 5, 2021. Footnote 14 in Factors Affecting Reserve Balances of Depository Institutions (table 1) and Consolidated Statement of Condition of All Federal Reserve Banks (table 5) and footnote 9 in Statement of Condition of Each Federal Reserve Bank (table 6) were revised accordingly.

December 17, 2020

H6: Revisions to the H.6 Statistical Release

As announced on March 15, 2020, the Board of Governors reduced reserve requirement ratios on net transaction accounts to 0 percent, effective March 26, 2020. This action eliminated reserve requirements for all depository institutions and rendered the regulatory distinction between reservable "transaction accounts" and nonreservable "savings deposits" unnecessary. On April 24, 2020, the Board removed this regulatory distinction by deleting the six-per-month transfer limit on savings deposits in Regulation D. This action resulted in savings deposits having the same liquidity characteristics as the transaction accounts currently reported as "Other checkable deposits" on Statistical Release H.6, "Money Stock Measures."

Because of the change in their liquidity characteristics, savings deposits will be recognized as a type of transaction account on the H.6 statistical release. The Board will combine H.6 statistical release items "Savings deposits" and "Other checkable deposits" and report the resulting sum as "Other liquid deposits." Like other transaction accounts, other liquid deposits will be included in the M1 monetary aggregate. This action will increase the M1 monetary aggregate significantly while leaving the M2 monetary aggregate unchanged.

At the same time next year, the Board will make a number of modifications to streamline the H.6 statistical release. Of particular note, the publication frequency of the release will change from weekly to monthly, and the release will contain only monthly average data. Weekly average, nonseasonally adjusted data will continue to be provided in the Board's Data Download Program, while weekly average, seasonally adjusted data will no longer be provided. Other release modifications will include (1) providing components of the monetary aggregates at a total industry level without a breakdown of components by banks and thrifts; (2) reporting only data used to construct the monetary aggregates, thereby eliminating items superfluous to that purpose; and (3) making the release available in only one format—HTML.

The last weekly H.6 statistical release will be published on February 11, 2021. The first monthly H.6 statistical release containing the revisions previously discussed will be published on February 23, 2021, inclusive of retroactive updates to the data back to May 2020. For supplemental information on the revisions to the H.6 statistical release, see the Technical Q&As associated with the release.

G17: G.17 Data for November 2020 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for November 2020 are now available.

Industrial production increased 0.4 percent in November. After having fallen 16.5 percent between February and April, the level of the index has risen to about 5 percent below its pre-pandemic (February) reading. In November, manufacturing output advanced 0.8 percent for its seventh consecutive monthly gain. An increase of 5.3 percent for motor vehicles and parts contributed significantly to the gain in factory production; excluding motor vehicles and parts, manufacturing output moved up 0.4 percent. The output of utilities declined 4.3 percent, as warmer-than-usual temperatures reduced the demand for heating. Mining production increased 2.3 percent after decreasing 0.7 percent in October.

G17: G.17 annual revision planned for early 2021

The Federal Reserve Board plans to issue its annual revision to the indexes of industrial production (IP) and the related measures of capacity utilization in early 2021. New annual benchmark data for manufacturing for 2017 and 2018 will be incorporated, as well as other annual data, including information on the mining of metallic and nonmetallic minerals (except fuels). The weights for market-group splits of the industry-level indexes will be updated with information from the 2012 benchmark input-output accounts from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. The updated IP indexes will include revisions to the monthly indicator (either product data or input data) and to seasonal factors for each industry. In addition, the estimation methods for some series may be changed. Any modifications to the methods for estimating the output of an industry will affect the index from 1972 to the present.

Capacity and capacity utilization will be revised to incorporate data for manufacturing through the fourth quarter of 2019 from the U.S. Census Bureau's Quarterly Survey of Plant Capacity Utilization, along with new data on capacity from the U.S. Geological Survey, the U.S. Department of Energy, and other organizations.


October 16, 2020

G17: G.17 Data for September 2020 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for September 2020 are now available.

Industrial production fell 0.6 percent in September, its first decline after four consecutive months of gains. The index increased at an annual rate of 39.8 percent for the third quarter as a whole. Although production has recovered more than half of its February to April decline, the September reading was still 7.1 percent below its pre-pandemic February level. Manufacturing output decreased 0.3 percent in September and was 6.4 percent below February's level. The output of utilities dropped 5.6 percent, as demand for air conditioning fell by more than usual in September. Mining production increased 1.7 percent in September; even so, it was 14.8 percent below a year earlier. At 101.5 percent of its 2012 average, total industrial production was 7.3 percent lower in September than it was a year earlier. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector decreased 0.5 percentage point in September to 71.5 percent, a rate that is 8.3 percentage points below its long-run (1972–2019) average but 7.3 percentage points above its low in April.

H6: H.3 Statistical Release Consolidated onto the H.6 Statistical Release

The Board's Statistical Release H.6, "Money Stock Measures," includes, for the first time, release items previously published on Statistical Release H.3, "Aggregate Reserves of Depository Institutions and the Monetary Base," that remain relevant after the elimination of reserve requirements. The H.3 release items consolidated onto the H.6 statistical release include the monetary base and nonborrowed reserves and their components. The components of these concepts—specifically, (1) "Currency in circulation" and "Total balances maintained" for the monetary base and (2) "Total reserves" and "Total borrowings from the Federal Reserve" for nonborrowed reserves—also now appear on the H.6 statistical release.

G17: G.17 Data for August 2020 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for August 2020 are now available.

Industrial production rose 0.4 percent in August for its fourth consecutive monthly increase. However, even after the recent gains, the index in August was 7.3 percent below its pre-pandemic February level. Manufacturing output continued to improve in August, rising 1.0 percent, but the gains for most manufacturing industries have gradually slowed since June. Mining production fell 2.5 percent in August, as Tropical Storm Marco and Hurricane Laura caused sharp but temporary drops in oil and gas extraction and well drilling. The output of utilities moved down 0.4 percent. At 101.4 percent of its 2012 average, the level of total industrial production was 7.7 percent lower in August than it was a year earlier. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector increased 0.3 percentage point in August to 71.4 percent, a rate that is 8.4 percentage points below its long-run (1972–2019) average but 7.3 percentage points above its low in April.

H15: Correction to historical 20-year Treasury Constant Maturity series
In July 2020, the current 20-year Treasury Constant Maturity series and the previously discontinued 20-year Treasury Constant Maturity rates were joined to make it easier for users to discover the discontinued rates. When combining these series, we inadvertently included estimated rates that covered the period when the US Treasury did not issue any securities with a 20-year maturity (January 1, 1987-September 30, 1993). These estimates were the average of the 10-year and 30-year rates. Given that these rates were estimates and not reported values, they have been removed from the Data Download Program.

August 26, 2020

H15: Correction of Treasury Rates for August 19, 2020


The H.15 release incorrectly noted that the markets were closed on August 19, 2020 and did not include data from the U.S. Treasury on that date. The H.15 release and the Data Download Program have been updated with the missing rates.

DDP: Consolidation of the H.3 and H.6 Statistical Releases

As announced on March 15, 2020, the Board of Governors reduced reserve requirement ratios on net transaction accounts to 0 percent, effective March 26, 2020. This action eliminated reserve requirements for all depository institutions. As a result, many of the release items on the Board's Statistical Release H.3, "Aggregate Reserves of Depository Institutions and the Monetary Base," are zero. Consequently, the Board has decided to consolidate the remaining relevant items from the H.3 statistical release onto Statistical Release H.6, "Money Stock Measures."

The H.3 release items that will be consolidated onto the H.6 statistical release include the monetary base and nonborrowed reserves and their components. The components to be moved are (1) "Currency in circulation" and "Total balances maintained" for the monetary base and (2) "Total reserves" and "Total borrowings from the Federal Reserve" for nonborrowed reserves.

The last H.3 statistical release will be published on September 17, 2020. The first H.6 statistical release containing the monetary base and nonborrowed reserves will be published on September 24, 2020. On this same release, columns labeled "Traveler's checks" will be removed from the H.6 statistical release.

For a template of the first page of the consolidated H.6 statistical release, along with supplemental information on the consolidation, see the Technical Q&As associated with each release. Access to historical data for all H.3 release items will remain available through the Data Download Program (DDP). In addition, the H.3 release items being consolidated onto the H.6 statistical release will be available in the DDP in both the "build your own" and preformatted packages associated with the H.6 statistical release. Further refinements to the preformatted packages for the H.6 statistical release will also be made. The 12 "H.6 historical table" preformatted packages will no longer be available; all data elements of these packages are contained in the monthly or weekly "H.6 statistical release" packages.

G17: G.17 Data for July 2020 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for July 2020 are now available.

Total industrial production rose 3.0 percent in July after increasing 5.7 percent in June; even so, the index in July was 8.4 percent below its pre-pandemic February level. Manufacturing output continued to improve in July, rising 3.4 percent. Most major industries posted increases, though they were much smaller in magnitude than the advances recorded in June. The largest gain in July—28.3 percent—was registered by motor vehicles and parts; factory production elsewhere advanced 1.6 percent. Mining production rose 0.8 percent after decreasing for five consecutive months. The output of utilities increased 3.3 percent, as unusually warm temperatures increased the demand for air conditioning. At 100.2 percent of its 2012 average, the level of total industrial production was 8.2 percent lower in July than it was a year earlier. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector increased 2.1 percentage points in July to 70.6 percent, a rate that is 9.2 percentage points below its long-run (1972–2019) average but 6.4 percentage points above its low in April.

The Board's H.4.1 statistical release, "Factors Affecting Reserve Balances of Depository Institutions and Condition Statement of Federal Reserve Banks," has been modified to include information related to MS Facilities LLC (Main Street Lending Program). The program was introduced on the H.4.1 cover note on June 4, 2020 https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h41/20200604/. On July 6, 2020, the Main Street Lending Program announced it was operationally ready to purchase participations in loans originated by eligible lenders to facilitate lending support to small and medium-sized businesses, and on July 15, 2020, the Main Street Lending Program began purchasing participations in loans in accordance with the program. The Federal Reserve Bank of Boston extended credit to the MS Facilities LLC under the authority of section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act, with approval of the Board and Treasury Secretary.


July 15, 2020

G17: G.17 Data for June 2020 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for June 2020 are now available.

Total industrial production rose 5.4 percent in June after increasing 1.4 percent in May; even so, it remained 10.9 percent below its pre-pandemic February level. For the second quarter as a whole, the index fell 42.6 percent at an annual rate, its largest quarterly decrease since the industrial sector retrenched after World War II. Manufacturing output climbed 7.2 percent in June, as all major industries posted increases. The largest gain—105.0 percent—was registered by motor vehicles and parts, while factory production elsewhere rose 3.9 percent. Mining production fell 2.9 percent, and the output of utilities increased 4.2 percent. At 97.5 percent of its 2012 average, the level of total industrial production was 10.8 percent lower in June than it was a year earlier. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector increased 3.5 percentage points to 68.6 percent in June, a rate that is 11.2 percentage points below its long-run (1972–2019) average but 1.9 percentage points above its trough during the Great Recession.

The estimates for industrial capacity for 2020 were revised for this release. The revisions reflect updated measures of physical capacity from various government and private sources as well as updated estimates of capital spending by industry. Measured from the fourth quarter of 2019 to the fourth quarter of 2020, capacity for the industrial sector is now expected to be flat, whereas previously it was estimated to rise 1.3 percent. Manufacturing capacity is estimated to edge down 0.2 percent, a downward revision of 1.0 percentage point. Mining capacity also revised down and is now expected to decline 2.1 percent; it had been expected to expand 2.9 percent. This downward revision primarily reflects a reduction in capacity for oil and gas extraction. The gain in capacity for utilities, at 3.2 percent, is only 0.1 percentage point lower than previously estimated.

H41: Change to the H.4.1 to include information related to TALF II LLC and supplemental information on all credit facilities LLCs.

The Board's H.4.1 statistical release, "Factors Affecting Reserve Balances of Depository Institutions and Condition Statement of Federal Reserve Banks," has been modified to include information on the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility (TALF) and a new table 4 that provides supplemental information on all credit facilities.

Table 4, "Information on Principal Accounts of Credit Facilities LLCs," was added to provide information about outstanding principal amount of loans extended to LLCs by Reserve Banks. The table also provides information on the net portfolio holdings of credit facilities LLCs including outstanding amounts of facility asset purchases, Treasury contributions, and other assets.

The TALF operates through the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility II LLC (TALF II LLC), a special purpose vehicle that was formed to help support the flow of credit to consumers and businesses. On March 23, 2020, the Federal Reserve announced the TALF. On June 16, 2020, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) received Treasury's equity contribution for the TALF program.

Consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, the assets and liabilities of TALF II LLC have been consolidated with the assets and liabilities of the FRBNY in the preparation of the statements of condition shown on the release because the FRBNY is the managing member of TALF II LLC. The net portfolio holdings of TALF II LLC appear as an asset on the statement of condition of the FRBNY (now table 6), the consolidated statement of condition of all Federal Reserve Banks (now table 5), factors affecting reserve balances of depository institutions (table 1), and information on principal accounts of credit facilities LLC (table 4). The amount provided by the U.S. Treasury as credit protection for the TALF II LLC is included in "Treasury contributions to credit facilities" in tables 1, 4, 5, and 6.

G17: G.17 Data for April 2020 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for April 2020 are now available.

Total industrial production fell 11.2 percent in April for its largest monthly drop in the 101-year history of the index, as the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic led many factories to slow or suspend operations throughout the month. Manufacturing output dropped 13.7 percent, its largest decline on record, as all major industries posted decreases. The output of motor vehicles and parts fell more than 70 percent; production elsewhere in manufacturing dropped 10.3 percent. The indexes for utilities and mining decreased 0.9 percent and 6.1 percent, respectively. At 92.6 percent of its 2012 average, the level of total industrial production was 15.0 percent lower in April than it was a year earlier. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector decreased 8.3 percentage points to 64.9 percent in April, a rate that is 14.9 percentage points below its long-run (1972–2019) average and 1.8 percentage points below its all-time (since 1967) low set in 2009.

In addition to the regular revisions that reflect incoming data, the industrial production indexes for March were revised to incorporate data on initial claims for unemployment insurance by employees who had worked in the industrial sector. The methods used to construct the estimates are described on the Federal Reserve Board's website at www.federalreserve.gov/releases/g17/g17_technical_qa.htm#covid2020ui.

H41: Changes to the H.4.1 to reflect the Corporate Credit Facility LLC
The Board's H.4.1 statistical release, "Factors Affecting Reserve Balances of Depository Institutions and Condition Statement of Federal Reserve Banks," has been modified to include information related to Primary Market Corporate Credit Facility (PMCCF) and Secondary Market Corporate Credit Facility (SMCCF). These facilities operate through the Corporate Credit Facility LLC (CCF LLC), a special purpose vehicle that was formed to support credit to employers through bond and loan issuances and to provide liquidity to the market for outstanding corporate bonds.

On March 23, 2020, the Federal Reserve announced the PMCCF and SMCCF. On May 12, 2020, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) extended credit to the CCF LLC under the authority of section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act, with approval of the Treasury Secretary, and the CCF LLC began purchasing eligible bonds and loans.

Consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, the assets and liabilities of CCF LLC have been accounted for and consolidated with the assets and liabilities of the FRBNY in the preparation of the statements of condition shown on the release because the FRBNY is the managing member of CCF LLC. The net portfolio holdings of CCF LLC appear as an asset on the statement of condition of the FRBNY (table 5), the consolidated statement of condition of all Federal Reserve Banks (table 4), and factors affecting reserve balances of depository institutions (table 1).

The amount provided by the U.S. Treasury as credit protection for the CCF LLC is separately presented in a new line "Treasury contributions to credit facilities" in tables 1, 4, and 5. Additionally, amounts provided by the U.S. Treasury as credit protection to the Commercial Paper Funding Facility II LLC previously included in "Other liabilities" is now included in "Treasury contributions to credit facilities" in tables 1, 4, and 5.

SLOOS: Weighted aggregate series available in DDP

With the release of the April 2020 Senior Loan Officer Opinion Survey results six new series are available via the Data Download Program (DDP). These series report aggregate standards and demand for business loans, household loans, and all loans, weighted by banks' loan portfolio shares. The construction of these series is described in Glancy, David, Robert Kurtzman, and Rebecca Zarutskie (2020). "An Aggregate View of Bank Lending Standards and Demand," FEDS Notes. Washington: Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, 2020-05-04, https://doi.org/10.17016/2380-7172.2546.

Weighted series can be found by selecting the "Memo" data set in the "Build Your Package" tool and have the following names:

All loans: SUBLPDMOS_XWB_N.Q (standards) and SUBLPDMOD_XWB_N.Q (demand)

Business loans: SUBLPDMBS_XWB_N.Q (standards) and SUBLPDMBD_XWB_N.Q (demand)

H41: Change to the H.4.1 to reflect the Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility.

The Board's H.4.1 statistical release, "Factors Affecting Reserve Balances of Depository Institutions and Condition Statement of Federal Reserve Banks," has been modified to include information related to Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (PPPLF). The Federal Reserve established the PPPLF to facilitate lending to small businesses via the Small Business Administration's Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). Information for the facility is presented in tables 1, 2, 4, and 5.

The PPPLF program was announced by the Federal Reserve on April 9, 2020, and began operations on April 16, 2020. The PPPLF program will extend credit to eligible financial institutions that originate PPP loans, taking the loans as collateral at face value.

H41: Change to the H.4.1 to reflect the Commercial Paper Funding Facility II LLC
The Board's H.4.1 statistical release, "Factors Affecting Reserve Balances of Depository Institutions and Condition Statement of Federal Reserve Banks," has been modified to include information related to Commercial Paper Funding Facility (CPFF). This facility operates through the Commercial Paper Funding Facility II LLC (CPFF II LLC), a special purpose vehicle that was formed to purchase three-month U.S. dollar-denominated commercial paper from eligible issuers and thereby foster liquidity in short-term funding markets and increase the availability of credit for businesses and households.

On March 17, 2020, the Federal Reserve announced the CPFF. On April 14, 2020, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) extended credit to the CPFF II LLC under the authority of section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act, with approval of the Treasury Secretary, and the CPFF II LLC began purchasing eligible commercial paper.

Consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, the assets and liabilities of CPFF II LLC have been consolidated with the assets and liabilities of the FRBNY in the preparation of the statements of condition shown on the release because the FRBNY is the managing member of CPFF II LLC. The net portfolio holdings of CPFF II LLC appear as an asset on the statement of condition of the FRBNY (table 5), the consolidated statement of condition of all Federal Reserve Banks (table 4), and factors affecting reserve balances of depository institutions (table 1). The amount provided by the U.S. Treasury as credit protection is recorded in "Other liabilities and capital" in table 1 and "Other liabilities and accrued dividends" in tables 4 and 5.

Additionally, amounts for "Net portfolio holdings of Maiden Lane LLC," were removed from table 1 because the portfolio holdings have been reduced to de minimis balances. Amounts will be included in "Other Federal Reserve Assets" in table 1 and in "Other assets" in tables 4 and 5.

G17: G.17 Data for March 2020 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for March 2020 are now available.

Total industrial production fell 5.4 percent in March, as the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic led many factories to suspend operations late in the month. Manufacturing output fell 6.3 percent; most major industries posted decreases, with the largest decline registered by motor vehicles and parts. The decreases for total industrial production and for manufacturing were their largest since January 1946 and February 1946, respectively. The indexes for utilities and mining declined 3.9 percent and 2.0 percent, respectively. At 103.7 percent of its 2012 average, the level of total industrial production in March was 5.5 percent lower than a year earlier. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector decreased 4.3 percentage points to 72.7 percent in March, a rate that is 7.1 percentage points below its long-run (1972–2019) average.

The estimates in this release incorporated data on stay-at-home orders as well as other information on industrial activity for late in the month. An explanation of the methods used to construct the estimates is available on the Federal Reserve Board's website at www.federalreserve.gov/releases/g17/g17_technical_qa.htm#covid2020.

H3: Elimination of Reserve Requirements
As announced on March 15, 2020, the Board reduced reserve requirement ratios on net transaction accounts to 0 percent, effective March 26, 2020. This action eliminated reserve requirements for all depository institutions. As a result, many of the items related to reserve requirements and featured in tables 1 and 2 of the Board's Statistical Release H.3, "Aggregate Reserves of Depository Institutions and the Monetary Base," are zero beginning with the two weeks ending April 8, 2020.

April 09, 2020

H41: Changes to Factors Affecting Reserve Balances - H.4.1
The Board's H.4.1 statistical release, "Factors Affecting Reserve Balances of Depository Institutions and Condition Statement of Federal Reserve Banks," has been modified to include information related to the temporary repurchase agreement facility for foreign and international monetary authorities (FIMA Repo Facility) and the purchases of agency commercial mortgage-backed securities.

The FIMA Repo Facility was announced by the Federal Reserve on March 31, 2020, and began operations on April 6, 2020. The FIMA Repo Facility will allow FIMA account holders, which consist of central banks and other international monetary authorities with accounts at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, to enter into repurchase agreements with the Federal Reserve's System Open Market Account (SOMA). Beginning with this release, in table 1 the line item "Repurchase agreements" reports in aggregate repurchase agreements conducted through the FIMA Repo Facility and those conducted with primary dealers. Repurchase agreements conducted with primary dealers, formerly reported in the line item "Repurchase agreements" in prior releases, are now presented in the line item "Others." The FIMA Repo Facility is presented in the line item "Foreign official" under "Repurchase agreements." Aggregate repurchase agreements also are reported in tables 2, 4, 5, and 6.

The Federal Reserve announced on March 23, 2020 that SOMA will start buying agency commercial mortgage-backed securities and operations began on March 27, 2020. Two new lines were added to table 3, Supplemental Information on Mortgage-Backed Securities, to separately report commercial mortgage-backed securities and residential mortgage-backed securities. These securities are presented in tables 1 and 4 in the line item "Mortgage-backed securities" and in table 5 in the line item "Securities, unamortized premiums and discounts, repurchase agreements, and loans."

March 26, 2020

H3: Update to Other credit extensions

From the two weeks ending March 25, 2020, forward, "Other credit extensions" in table 3 of the release will reflect all other credit extended by the Federal Reserve outside of the primary, secondary, or seasonal credit lending programs. Additional detail on the components of "Other credit extensions" is available in table 1 of the H.4.1 statistical release under "Loans."

The PDCF was approved by the Board of Governors on March 17, 2020, and began operations on March 20, 2020. The PDCF will offer primary dealers overnight and term funding with maturities of up to 90 days.

Industrial production rose 0.6 percent in February after falling 0.5 percent in January. Manufacturing output edged up 0.1 percent in February; excluding a large gain for motor vehicles and parts and a large drop for civilian aircraft, factory output was unchanged. The index for mining declined 1.5 percent, but the index for utilities jumped 7.1 percent, as temperatures returned to more typical levels following an unseasonably warm January. At 109.6 percent of its 2012 average, the level of total industrial production in February was unchanged from a year earlier. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector increased 0.4 percentage point in February to 77.0 percent, a rate that is 2.8 percentage points below its long-run (1972–2019) average.

G19: Upcoming changes to the Consumer Credit (G.19) release
The Federal Reserve Board announced on Friday the following changes to the Consumer Credit (G.19) statistical release. Starting with the April 2020 G.19 Consumer Credit release, scheduled to be published on June 5, 2020, the release will no longer report the levels and flows of on-book loan balances and off-book securitized loan balances as separate line items. Instead, the release will report aggregate balances of total owned and managed receivables—the sum of on-book and off-book loan balances—for each sector. As a result of the FASB 166/167 accounting rules implementation in 2010, which required the majority of securitized assets to be reported as on-book, off-book asset balances have diminished, with most of them becoming and remaining at zero in recent years.

The on-book and off-book levels and flows series will remain available from the Data Download Program (DDP). In addition, the total owned and managed receivables series will be available from the DDP.

H6: MONEY STOCK REVISIONS

The Federal Reserve revised its measures of the money stock and their
components to incorporate updated seasonal factors and a new quarterly
benchmark.

This release includes seasonally adjusted measures of the monetary aggregates and components produced with revised seasonal factors, which were derived from data through December 2019 and estimated using the Census Bureau's X-13ARIMA-SEATS seasonal adjustment program. Information on the seasonal adjustment program is available on the U.S. Census Bureau website at https://www.census.gov/srd/www/x13as. The updated seasonal factors resulted in minor revisions to the growth rates of seasonally adjusted M2 for individual months in 2019, and they slightly increased the growth rate for seasonally adjusted M2 in the first half of 2019 and slightly decreased it in the second half of 2019.

The quarterly benchmark incorporates revisions from several sources. Revisions to weekly deposit data begin in 2016. Revisions to deposit data reported in the quarterly deposit reports and deposit data from Call Reports for banks and thrift institutions that are not weekly or quarterly deposit reporters start in 2012."Call Reports" refers to the commercial bank Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income (FFIEC 031, 041, and 051; OMB No. 7100-0036) and the credit union Statement of Financial Condition (NCUA 5300/5300SF; OMB No. 3133-0004). This benchmark also incorporates revisions to data on retail and institutional money market mutual funds, which start in 1993. In addition, this release incorporates the receipt of historical information from other sources of data.

The effects of both the revisions to seasonal factors and the new quarterly benchmark on the growth rates of M1 and M2 are outlined in appendix tables 6 and 7.

Historical data, updated each week, are available with the H.6 statistical release at www.federalreserve.gov/econresdata/statisticsdata.htm.

G17: G.17 annual revision planned for the summer of 2020

The Federal Reserve Board plans to issue its annual revision to the indexes of industrial production (IP) and the related measures of capacity utilization in the summer of 2020. New annual benchmark data for manufacturing for 2017 and 2018 will be incorporated, as well as other annual data, including information on the mining of metallic and nonmetallic minerals (except fuels). The weights for market-group splits of the industry-level indexes will be updated with information from the 2012 benchmark input-output accounts from the Bureau of Economic Analysis. The updated IP indexes will include revisions to the monthly indicator (either product data or input data) and to seasonal factors for each industry. In addition, the estimation methods for some series may be changed. Any modifications to the methods for estimating the output of an industry will affect the index from 1972 to the present.

Capacity and capacity utilization will be revised to incorporate data for manufacturing through the fourth quarter of 2019 from the Census Bureau's Quarterly Survey of Plant Capacity, along with new data on capacity from the U.S. Geological Survey, the U.S. Department of Energy, and other organizations.


January 17, 2020

G17: G.17 Data for December 2019 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for December 2019 are now available.

Industrial production declined 0.3 percent in December, as a decrease of 5.6 percent for utilities outweighed increases of 0.2 percent for manufacturing and 1.3 percent for mining. The drop for utilities resulted from a large decrease in demand for heating, as unseasonably warm weather in December followed unseasonably cold weather in November. For the fourth quarter as a whole, total industrial production moved down at an annual rate of 0.5 percent. At 109.4 percent of its 2012 average, total industrial production was 1.0 percent lower in December than it was a year earlier. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector fell 0.4 percentage point in December to 77.0 percent, a rate that is 2.8 percentage points below its long-run (1972–2018) average.

G17: G.17 Data for November 2019 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for November 2019 are now available.

Industrial production and manufacturing production both rebounded 1.1 percent in November after declining in October. These sharp November increases were largely due to a bounceback in the output of motor vehicles and parts following the end of a strike at a major manufacturer. Excluding motor vehicles and parts, the indexes for total industrial production and for manufacturing moved up 0.5 percent and 0.3 percent, respectively. Mining production edged down 0.2 percent, while the output of utilities increased 2.9 percent.

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for October 2019 are now available.

Industrial production fell 0.8 percent in October after declining 0.3 percent in September. Manufacturing production decreased 0.6 percent in October. Much of this decline was due to a drop of 7.1 percent in the output of motor vehicles and parts that resulted from a strike at a major manufacturer of motor vehicles. The decreases for total industrial production, manufacturing, and motor vehicles and parts were their largest since May 2018, April 2019, and January 2019, respectively.

SLOOS: Additional Senior Loan Officer Opinion Survey data available in DDP and historical data revision

The Data Download Program (DDP) for the Senior Loan Officer Opinion Survey will be extended on October 7, 2019 to include series for large and other banks for all currently reported series for domestically chartered banks in the DDP, in addition to the currently reported data series for all domestically chartered banks. The new data series reported by bank size may be selected using the "Bank Size" menu in the "Build your Package" tool. A new data series, "SUBLPDMCO_N.Q", that reports the total assets value which delineates large banks from other banks in each survey, is also now available. The bank size variable can be selected under the "Memo" data set in the "Build your Package" tool.

In addition to these new data series, historical values of several existing data series will be revised as follows:


Values for the series reporting net changes in standards, terms and demand for C&I loans from domestic banks for large and middle market firms have been revised for surveys prior to 1997. Prior to 1997 domestic banks were asked about standards and demand for large firms and separately about standards and demand for middle-market firms. The revised series net banks responses across the two questions about changes in standards to large and middle market firms and net banks responses across the two questions about changes in demand to large and middle market firms. Previously the series were generated by averaging banks' responses across the two sets of questions.

o The revised series include SUBLPDCILS_N.Q, SUBLPDCILD_N.Q, SUBLPDCILTC_N.Q, SUBLPDCILTL_N.Q, SUBLPDCILTM_N.Q, SUBLPDCILTQ_N.Q, SUBLPDCILTS_N.Q.

The responses prior to 1995:Q2 to questions about reasons for tightening or easing of standards and weakening or strengthening of demand for C&I loans have been revised. Prior to the 1995:Q2 survey, the wording of the questions on reasons for tightening or easing C&I loans standards or reasons for stronger or weaker demand asked banks to rank reasons from most important to least important on a 1 to 5 scale, with 1 being most the important reason. The current questions ask banks to characterize the set of reasons as being very important (value = 3), somewhat important (value = 2) or not important (value =1). Prior to the 1995:Q2 survey, reasons ranked 4 or 5 or unranked are labeled as not important (value = 1), reasons ranked 3 and 2 are labeled as somewhat important (value = 2), and reasons ranked as 1 are labeled as very important (value =1). The revised data series correct instances in which this mapping scheme was not followed.

o The revised series include SUBLPDCIRECN_N.Q, SUBLPDCIRECS_N.Q, SUBLPDCIRECV_N.Q, SUBLPDCIREIN_N.Q, SUBLPDCIREIS_N.Q, SUBLPDCIREIV_N.Q, SUBLPDCIREON_N.Q, SUBLPDCIREOS_N.Q, SUBLPDCIREOV_N.Q, SUBLPDCIRTCN_N.Q, SUBLPDCIRTCS_N.Q, SUBLPDCIRTCV_N.Q, SUBLPDCIRTIN_N.Q, SUBLPDCIRTIS_N.Q, SUBLPDCIRTIV_N.Q, SUBLPDCIRTON_N.Q, SUBLPDCIRTOS_N.Q, and SUBLPDCIRTOV_N.Q.

The data series observations listed below have been corrected. In the case of observations being corrected to n.a. the number of respondents was insufficient to produce meaningful data. The GSE-eligible mortgage series had been incorrectly set to n.a. These series were presented correctly in the release tables.

o The series for demand for subprime mortgages (SUBLPDHMDS_N.Q) has been corrected to n.a. in 2016:Q2, 2017:Q2, and 2018:Q1.

o The series for standards on subprime mortgages (SUBLPDHMSS_N.Q) has been corrected to n.a. in 2018:Q1.

o The series for standards on GSE-eligible mortgages (SUBLPDHMSE_N.Q) has been corrected from n.a. to -11.1 in 2017:Q4.

G17: G.17 Annual Revision Released
The Federal Reserve has revised its index of industrial production (IP) and the related measures of capacity and capacity utilization. On net, the revisions to the growth rates for total IP for recent years were small and positive, with the estimates for 2016 and 2017 a bit higher and the estimates for 2015 and 2018 slightly lower. Total IP is still reported to have increased from the end of the recession in mid-2009 through late 2014 before declining in 2015 and rebounding in mid-2016. Subsequently, the index advanced around 7 1/2 percent over 2017 and 2018.

Capacity for total industry expanded modestly in each year from 2015 to 2017 before advancing 1 1/2 percent in 2018; it is expected to advance about 2 percent in 2019. Revisions for recent years were very small and showed slightly less expansion in most years relative to earlier reports.

In the fourth quarter of 2018, capacity utilization for total industry stood at 79.4 percent, about 3/4 percentage point above its previous estimate and about 1/2 percentage point below its long-run (1972-2018) average. The utilization rate in 2017 is also higher than its previous estimate.

G17: Computer Storage Equipment Price Index Released

An updated annual price index for computer storage equipment, the primary product of North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) industry 334112, "Computer Storage Device Manufacturing," has been released. In addition, the underlying quarterly frequency series is provided for the first time. These price indexes provide an estimate of price changes for computer storage equipment assuming that the quality of the device is unchanged. Data from IDC, a market research company specializing in information technology industries, were used to construct a matched-model quarterly price index, which was then converted to an annual index. This annual price index was first incorporated into the industrial production index for computer storage equipment at the time of the 2016 annual revision to the G.17 statistical release on industrial production and capacity utilization, which was published on April 1, 2016. The updated computer storage price index will be incorporated in the G.17 annual revision planned for release on March 27, 2019. More details on the data sources and index construction are available in a FEDS Note.

G17: G.17 annual revision planned for March 27, 2019

The Federal Reserve Board plans to issue its annual revision to the index of industrial production (IP) and the related measures of capacity utilization on March 27, 2019. The Economic Census for 2017 will not be available from the U.S. Census Bureau by early 2019, so no new annual benchmark data will be included for manufacturing. Other annual data, including information on the mining of metallic and nonmetallic minerals (except fuels), will be incorporated. The updated IP indexes will include revisions to the monthly indicator (either product data or input data) and to seasonal factors for each industry. In addition, the estimation methods for some series may be changed. Any modifications to the methods for estimating the output of an industry will affect the index from 1972 to the present.

Capacity and capacity utilization will be revised to incorporate data through the fourth quarter of 2018 from the U.S. Census Bureau's Quarterly Survey of Plant Capacity Utilization along with new data on capacity from the U.S. Geological Survey, the U.S. Department of Energy, and other organizations.


February 15, 2019

G17: G.17 Data for January 2019 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for January 2019 are now available.

Industrial production decreased 0.6 percent in January after rising 0.1 percent in December. In January, manufacturing production fell 0.9 percent, primarily as a result of a large drop in motor vehicle assemblies; factory output excluding motor vehicles and parts decreased 0.2 percent. The indexes for mining and utilities moved up 0.1 percent and 0.4 percent, respectively. At 109.4 percent of its 2012 average, total industrial production was 3.8 percent higher in January than it was a year earlier. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector decreased 0.6 percentage point in January to 78.2 percent, a rate that is 1.6 percentage points below its long-run (1972-2018) average.

H6: MONEY STOCK REVISIONS

The Federal Reserve revised its measures of the money stock and their components to incorporate updated seasonal factors and a new quarterly benchmark.

This release includes seasonally adjusted measures of the monetary aggregates and components produced with revised seasonal factors, which were derived from data through December 2018 and estimated using the Census Bureau's X-13ARIMA-SEATS seasonal adjustment program.[1] The updated seasonal factors resulted in minor revisions to the growth rates of seasonally adjusted M2 for individual months in 2018, and they slightly decreased the growth rate for seasonally adjusted M2 in the first half of 2018 and slightly increased it in the second half of 2018.

The quarterly benchmark incorporates revisions from several sources. Revisions to weekly deposit data begin in 2016. Revisions to deposit data reported in the quarterly deposit reports and deposit data from Call Reports for banks and thrift institutions that are not weekly or quarterly deposit reporters start in 2017.[2] In addition, this benchmark incorporates data from Call Reports on the amount of small-denomination time deposits held in individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and Keogh accounts; the associated revisions to deposit data start in 2018. Likewise, it incorporates revisions to IRA and Keogh balances held at retail and institutional money market mutual funds; the associated revisions to data on money market mutual funds begin in 2007. In addition, this release incorporates the receipt of historical information from other sources of data.

The effects of both the revisions to seasonal factors and the new quarterly benchmark on the growth rates of M1 and M2 are outlined in appendix tables 6 and 7.

Historical data, updated each week, are available with the H.6 statistical release at www.federalreserve.gov/econresdata/statisticsdata.htm.

--------------------
[1] Information on the seasonal adjustment program is available on the U.S. Census Bureau website at https://www.census.gov/srd/www/x13as.
[2] "Call Reports" refers to the commercial bank Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income (FFIEC 031, 041, and 051; OMB No. 7100-0036) and the credit union Statement of Financial Condition (NCUA 5300/5300SF; OMB No. 3133-0004).

In December, manufacturing output increased 1.1 percent, its largest gain since February 2018. The output of mines rose 1.5 percent, but the index for utilities fell 6.3 percent, as warmer-than-usual temperatures lowered the demand for heating. At 109.9 percent of its 2012 average, total industrial production was 4.0 percent higher in December than it was a year earlier. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector rose 0.1 percentage point in December to 78.7 percent, a rate that is 1.1 percentage points below its long-run (1972-2017) average.

H41: Changes to H.4.1, removal of table related to Maiden Lane (previously numbered as table 4)
For Release at
4:30 P.M. EST
December 27, 2018


Publication Note


The Board's H.4.1 statistical release, "Factors Affecting Reserve Balances of Depository Institutions and Condition Statement of Federal Reserve Banks," has been modified to reflect the removal of table 4 "Information on Principal Accounts of Maiden Lane LLC." The table has been removed because the remaining assets in the portfolio holdings of Maiden Lane LLC have been reduced to a de minimis balance.

Amounts for "Net portfolio holdings of Maiden Lane LLC," continue to be shown on table 1 "Factors Affecting Reserve Balances of Depository Institutions," on the renumbered table 4 "Consolidated Statement of Condition of All Federal Reserve Banks" in order to provide information on figures from the previous year, and on the renumbered table 5 "Statement of Condition of Each Federal Reserve Bank."

H6: SPECIAL NOTICE

In January 2019, the Board will discontinue publication of data on the outstanding amount of U.S. dollar-denominated traveler's checks of nonbank issuers. Dollar-denominated traveler's checks serve as an alternative to demand deposits and currency as a means of payment and therefore are included in M1. Nonbank traveler's checks have fallen steadily for many years to a point at which they represent an immaterial share of the monetary aggregates. The insignificant amounts no longer justify the burden of collection and publication of these data.

The date of the last reported value in the "Traveler's checks" column in tables 3 and 5 of the H.6 statistical release will be December 31, 2018.

Historical data for traveler's checks of non-bank issuers will remain available through the Data Download Program.

G17: G.17 Data for October 2018 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for October 2018 are now available.

Industrial production edged up 0.1 percent in October, as a gain for manufacturing outweighed decreases elsewhere. As a result of upward revisions primarily in mining, the overall index is now reported to have advanced at an annual rate of 4.7 percent in the third quarter, appreciably above the gain of 3.3 percent reported initially. Hurricanes lowered the level of industrial production in both September and October, but their effects appear to be less than 0.1 percent per month. In October, manufacturing output rose 0.3 percent for its fifth consecutive monthly increase, while the indexes for mining and for utilities declined 0.3 percent and 0.5 percent, respectively. At 109.1 percent of its 2012 average, total industrial production was 4.1 percent higher in October than it was a year earlier. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector was 78.4 percent, a rate that is 1.4 percentage points below its long-run (1972-2017) average.

For the third quarter as a whole, total industrial production advanced at an annual rate of 3.3 percent. In September, manufacturing output moved up 0.2 percent for its fourth consecutive monthly increase, while the output of utilities was unchanged. The index for mining increased 0.5 percent and has moved up in each of the past eight months. At 108.5 percent of its 2012 average, total industrial production was 5.1 percent higher in September than it was a year earlier.

G17: G.17 annual revision planned around the end of the first quarter of 2019

The Federal Reserve Board plans to issue its annual revision to the index of industrial production (IP) and the related measures of capacity utilization around the end of the first quarter of 2019. The Economic Census for 2017 will not be available from the U.S. Census Bureau by early 2019, so no new annual benchmark data will be included for manufacturing. Other annual data, including information on the mining of metallic and nonmetallic minerals (except fuels), will be incorporated. The updated IP indexes will include revisions to the monthly indicator (either product data or input data) and to seasonal factors for each industry. In addition, the estimation methods for some series may be changed. Any modifications to the methods for estimating the output of an industry will affect the index from 1972 to the present.

Capacity and capacity utilization will be revised to incorporate data through the fourth quarter of 2018 from the U.S. Census Bureau's Quarterly Survey of Plant Capacity Utilization along with new data on capacity from the U.S. Geological Survey, the U.S. Department of Energy, and other organizations.

G17: G.17 Data for March 2018 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for March 2018 are now available.

Industrial production rose 0.5 percent in March after increasing 1.0 percent in February; the index advanced 4.5 percent at an annual rate for the first quarter as a whole. After having climbed 1.5 percent in February, manufacturing production edged up 0.1 percent in March. Mining output rose 1.0 percent, mostly as a result of gains in oil and gas extraction and in support activities for mining. The index for utilities jumped 3.0 percent after being suppressed in February by warmer-than-normal temperatures. At 107.2 percent of its 2012 average, total industrial production was 4.3 percent higher in March than it was a year earlier. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector moved up 0.3 percentage point in March to 78.0 percent, a rate that is 1.8 percentage points below its long-run (1972-2017) average.

The annual revision to industrial production and capacity utilization was published on March 23, 2018. Data referred to in the release dated March 16, 2018, were superseded by the data issued at the time of the annual revision.

G17: G.17 Annual Revision Released
The Federal Reserve has revised its index of industrial production (IP) and the related measures of capacity and capacity utilization. On net, the revisions to total IP for recent years were negative: For the 2015-17 period, the current estimates show rates of change that are 0.4 to 0.7 percentage point lower in each year. Total IP is still reported to have moved up about 22 1/2 percent from the end of the recession in mid-2009 through late 2014. Subsequently, the index declined in 2015, edged down in 2016, and increased in 2017. The incorporation of detailed data for manufacturing from the U.S. Census Bureau's 2016 Annual Survey of Manufactures (ASM) accounts for the majority of the differences between the current and the previously published estimates.

Revisions to capacity for total industry were mixed. Capacity growth was revised up about 1/2 percentage point for 2016, but revisions to other recent years were negative. Capacity for total industry is estimated to have expanded less than 1 percent in 2015, 2016, and 2017, but it is expected to increase about 2 percent in 2018.

G17: G.17 Data for February 2018 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for February 2018 are now available.

Industrial production rose 1.1 percent in February following a decline of 0.3 percent in January. Manufacturing production increased 1.2 percent in February, its largest gain since October. Mining output jumped 4.3 percent, mostly reflecting strong gains in oil and gas extraction. The index for utilities fell 4.7 percent, as warmer-than-normal temperatures last month reduced the demand for heating. At 108.2 percent of its 2012 average, total industrial production in February was 4.4 percent higher than it was a year earlier. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector climbed 0.7 percentage point in February to 78.1 percent, its highest reading since January 2015 but still 1.7 percentage points below its long-run (1972-2017) average.

H41: Change to H.4.1 to reflect the passage of the "Bipartisan Budget Bill of 2018"
The Board's H.4.1 statistical release, "Factors Affecting Reserve Balances of Depository Institutions and Condition Statement of Federal Reserve Banks," has been modified to reflect the policies under which Federal Reserve Banks make payments of their residual net earnings to the U.S. Treasury. The "Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018" ("Budget Act"), which was enacted on February 9, 2018, requires that aggregate Federal Reserve Bank capital surplus not exceed $7.5 billion. Therefore, any amount of aggregate Federal Reserve Bank capital surplus that exceeds this limit will be remitted to the U.S. Treasury.

The amounts of the line items "Other liabilities and capital" on table 1, and "Surplus" on tables 5 and 6 reflect the lump-sum payment of approximately $2.5 billion to the Treasury on February 22, 2018, which was necessary to reduce aggregate Reserve Bank capital surplus to the $7.5 billion limitation in the Budget Act.

G17: G.17 Data for January 2018 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for January 2018 are now available.

Industrial production edged down 0.1 percent in January following four consecutive monthly increases. Manufacturing production was unchanged in January. Mining output fell 1.0 percent, with all of its major component industries recording declines, while the index for utilities moved up 0.6 percent. At 107.2 percent of its 2012 average, total industrial production was 3.7 percent higher in January than it was a year earlier. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector fell 0.2 percentage point in January to 77.5 percent, a rate that is 2.3 percentage points below its long-run (1972-2017) average.


February 15, 2018

G17: G.17 Preliminary Estimates of Industry Capacity

The data in the February 15, 2018 release include preliminary estimates of industrial capacity for 2018. Measured from fourth quarter to fourth quarter, total industrial capacity is projected to rise 2.3 percent this year after increasing 1.1 percent in 2017. Manufacturing capacity is expected to advance 1.5 percent in 2018, somewhat faster than the 0.7 percent pace in 2017. Capacity in the mining sector is estimated to rise 6.3 percent in 2018 following a smaller increase of 2.7 percent in 2017. Capacity at electric and natural gas utilities is projected to increase 2.5 percent in 2018 after moving up 0.7 percent in 2017.


February 15, 2018

G17: G.17 Annual Revision to be released on March 23, 2018

The Federal Reserve Board plans to issue its annual revision to the index of industrial production (IP) and the related measures of capacity utilization on March 23, 2018. New annual benchmark data for 2016 for manufacturing will be incorporated, as will other annual data, including information on the mining of metallic and nonmetallic minerals (except fuels). The updated IP indexes will include revisions to the monthly indicator (either product data or input data) and to seasonal factors for each industry. In addition, the estimation methods for some series may be changed. Any modifications to the methods for estimating the output of an industry will affect the index from 1972 to the present.

The revision to the historical data for capacity and capacity utilization will incorporate data through the fourth quarter of 2017 from the U.S. Census Bureau's Quarterly Survey of Plant Capacity Utilization along with new data on capacity from the U.S. Geological Survey, the U.S. Department of Energy, and other organizations.

G20: Upcoming changes to the Finance Companies (G.20) release
The Federal Reserve Board announced on Tuesday the following changes to the Finance Companies (G.20) statistical release. Starting with the November release, the G.20 release will no longer report the levels and flows of on-book loan and lease balances and off-book securitized loan and lease balances separately. Instead, the G.20 release will start reporting balances of total owned and managed receivables--the sum of on-book and off-book loan and lease balances. The changes are caused by the FASB 166/167 accounting rules implementation in 2010, which required the majority of off-book, securitized assets to be reported on-book. The remaining off-book asset balances have since diminished, with most of them becoming and remaining at zero in recent years.

The on-book and off-book levels and flows series will remain available from the Data Downloading Program (DDP). In addition, total owned and managed receivables series will be available from the DDP. The mnemonics of these series are listed in the table located on the technical Q&A page.

January 25, 2018

H6: MONEY STOCK REVISIONS

The Federal Reserve revised its measures of the money stock and their components to incorporate updated seasonal factors and a new quarterly benchmark.

This release includes seasonally adjusted measures of the monetary aggregates and components produced with revised seasonal factors, which were derived from data through December 2017 and estimated using the Census Bureau's X-13ARIMA-SEATS seasonal adjustment program.[1] The updated seasonal factors resulted in minor revisions to the growth rates of seasonally adjusted M2 for individual months in 2017, and they slightly decreased the growth rate for seasonally adjusted M2 in the first half of 2017 and slightly increased it in the second half of 2017.

The quarterly benchmark incorporates revisions from several sources. Revisions to weekly deposit data begin in 2003. Revisions to deposit data reported in the quarterly deposit reports and deposit data from Call Reports for banks and thrift institutions that are not weekly or quarterly deposit reporters start in 2016.[2] Revisions to money market mutual fund data begin in 2017. In addition, this benchmark incorporates data from Call Reports on the amount of small-denomination time deposits held in individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and Keogh accounts; the associated revisions to deposit data start in 2017. Likewise, it incorporates revisions to IRA and Keogh balances held at retail and institutional money market mutual funds; the associated revisions to data on money market mutual funds also begin in 2017. In addition, this release incorporates the receipt of historical information from other sources of data.

The effects of both the revisions to seasonal factors and the new quarterly benchmark on the growth rates of M1 and M2 are outlined in appendix tables 6 and 7.

Historical data, updated each week, are available with the H.6 statistical release at www.federalreserve.gov/econresdata/statisticsdata.htm.

--------------------
[1] Information on the seasonal adjustment program is available on the U.S. Census Bureau website at https://www.census.gov/srd/www/x13as.
[2] "Call Reports" refers to the commercial bank Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income (FFIEC 031, 041, and 051; OMB No. 7100-0036) and the credit union Statement of Financial Condition (NCUA 5300/5300SF; OMB No. 3133-0004).

H8: H.8 DDP data corrected
This note provides more information on the changes made to the line items shown on the H.8 release and available through the Federal Reserve's Data Download Program (DDP) that were implemented on January 12, 2018 (for the original description of these changes, see https://www.federalreserve.gov/feeds/h8.html).

Effective January 19, 2018, three corrections have been made to the presentation of data available in the DDP:

1. Historical Data for the discontinued items had remained alongside current items in the DDP as of January 12, 2018. For now, the discontinued items have been removed from the DDP because discontinued items are no longer comingled with current items in the DDP. Data for the discontinued items will be made separately available in the DDP in the future.

2. Data for the new combined items--Other assets including trading assets (line 32), Borrowings (line 37), and Other liabilities including trading liabilities (line 37)--had been incorrectly omitted for the week ending January 6, 2010. These gaps in the data caused the levels of total assets and total liabilities to also be incorrect that week. In addition, these gaps caused distortions in the associated monthly average data for January 2010. This issue has been corrected.

3. The historical series for the new item, Total Federal funds and reverse RPs (line 30), was not included in the DDP. This issue has been corrected.


January 17, 2018

H10: Foreign Exchange Rates - H.10 DDP data corrected
The values for the following exchange rates were corrected in the Data Download Program (DDP) on January 17, 2018: Chinese Yuan for January 8-10, 2018; South Korean Won for January 8-11, 2018; Sri Lankan Rupee for January 8-9, 2018; Malaysian Ringgit for January 10-11, 2018; Thai Baht for January 8-January 11, 2018; Taiwanese Dollar for January 8-11, 2018.

G17: G.17 Data for December 2017 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for December 2017 are now available.

Industrial production rose 0.9 percent in December even though manufacturing output only edged up 0.1 percent. Revisions to mining and utilities altered the pattern of growth for October and November, but the level of the overall index in November was little changed. For the fourth quarter as a whole, total industrial production jumped 8.2 percent at an annual rate after being held down in the third quarter by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma. At 107.5 percent of its 2012 average, the index has increased 3.6 percent since December 2016 for its largest calendar-year gain since 2010.

The gain in manufacturing output in December was its fourth consecutive monthly increase. The output of utilities advanced 5.6 percent for the month, while the index for mining moved up 1.6 percent. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector was 77.9 percent, a rate that is 2.0 percentage points below its long-run (1972-2016) average.


January 12, 2018

H8: Changes to Items Reported on the H.8 Release as of January 3, 2018

Effective with this release, several changes have been made to the line items shown on the H.8 release. These changes relate to the Federal Reserve Board's notice published in the Federal Register, 82 FR 49207 on October 24, 2017.

The following line item changes have been made on the release:

1. Previous line item 26, Fed funds and reverse RPs with nonbanks, and previous line item 32, Fed funds and reverse RPs with banks, have been combined as new line item 30, Total federal funds sold and reverse RPs. Note that line item 1, Bank credit, and line item 9, Loans and leases in bank credit, no longer include Fed funds and reverse RPs with nonbanks and the category Interbank loans (former line item 31) has been eliminated.

2. Previous line items 35 and 44, Trading assets and liabilities, respectively, are no longer being published. The amount of trading assets and liabilities are now reported as part of other assets and liabilities (line items
32 and 39), respectively.

3. The two previous components of Borrowings--previous line item 42, Borrowings from banks in the U.S. and previous line item 43, Borrowings from others--are no longer being published separately; these line items have been combined into line item 37, Borrowings.

4. The three Memoranda line items covering loans to businesses with original amounts of $1,000,000 or less have been dropped: previous line item 52, Loans secured by nonfarm nonresidential properties; previous line item 53, Commercial and industrial loans to U.S. addressees; and their total, previous line item 51.

Historical data for the discontinued items will remain available for download through the Federal Reserve Board's Data Download Program. Historical data for the new combined series will be available back to 2010.

G17: G.17 Data for November 2017 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for November 2017 are now available.

Industrial production moved up 0.2 percent in November after posting an upwardly revised increase of 1.2 percent in October. Manufacturing production also rose 0.2 percent in November, its third consecutive monthly gain. The output of utilities dropped 1.9 percent. The index for mining increased 2.0 percent, as oil and gas extraction returned to normal levels after being held down in October by Hurricane Nate. Excluding the post-hurricane rebound in oil and gas extraction, total industrial production would have been unchanged in November. Total industrial production was 106.4 percent of its 2012 average in November and was 3.4 percent above its year-earlier level. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector was 77.1 percent in November, a rate that is 2.8 percentage points below its long-run (1972-2016) average.


December 15, 2017

G17: G.17 annual revision planned around the end of the first quarter of 2018

The Federal Reserve Board plans to issue its annual revision to the index of industrial production (IP) and the related measures of capacity utilization around the end of the first quarter of 2018. New annual benchmark data for 2016 will be incorporated for manufacturing, as will other annual data, including information on the mining of metallic and nonmetallic minerals (except fuels). The updated IP indexes will include revisions to the monthly indicator (either product data or input data) and to seasonal factors for each industry. In addition, the estimation methods for some series may be changed. Any modifications to the methods for estimating the output of an industry will affect the index from 1972 to the present.

Capacity and capacity utilization will be revised to incorporate data through the fourth quarter of 2017 from the U.S. Census Bureau's Quarterly Survey of Plant Capacity Utilization along with new data on capacity from the U.S. Geological Survey, the U.S. Department of Energy, and other organizations.

G17: G.17 Data for October 2017 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for October 2017 are now available.

Industrial production rose 0.9 percent in October, and manufacturing increased 1.3 percent. The index for utilities rose 2.0 percent, but mining output fell 1.3 percent, as Hurricane Nate caused a sharp but short-lived decline in oil and gas drilling and extraction. Even so, industrial activity was boosted in October by a return to normal operations after Hurricanes Harvey and Irma suppressed production in August and September.[1] Excluding the effects of the hurricanes, the index for total output advanced about 0.3 percent in October, and the index for manufacturing advanced about 0.2 percent.

[1] A technical Q&A discussing the effects of the recent hurricanes on industrial production is available on the Federal Reserve Board's website at https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/g17/g17_technical_qa.htm#HarveyIrmaNate2017.

G17: G.17 Technical Q&A on the effects of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma on August and September IP
A new Technical Q&A has been posted that shows estimates of the hurricane-related contributions to the rates of change for IP in August and September for several groupings of industries.

October 17, 2017

G17: G.17 Data for September 2017 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for September 2017 are now available.

Industrial production rose 0.3 percent in September. The rates of change for July and August were notably revised; the current estimate for July, a decrease of 0.1 percent, was 0.5 percentage point lower than previously reported, while the estimate for August, a decrease of 0.7 percent, was 0.2 percentage point higher than before. The estimates for manufacturing, mining, and utilities were each revised lower in July. The continued effects of Hurricane Harvey and, to a lesser degree, the effects of Hurricane Irma combined to hold down the growth in total production in September by 1/4 percentage point.[1] For the third quarter as a whole, industrial production fell 1.5 percent at an annual rate; excluding the effects of the hurricanes, the index would have risen at least 1/2 percent. Manufacturing output edged up 0.1 percent in September but fell 2.2 percent at an annual rate in the third quarter. The indexes for mining and utilities in September rose 0.4 percent and 1.5 percent, respectively. At 104.6 percent of its 2012 average, total industrial production in September was 1.6 percent above its year-earlier level. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector increased 0.2 percentage point in September to 76.0 percent, a rate that is 3.9 percentage points below its long-run (1972-2016) average.

A technical Q&A discussing the effect of Hurricane Harvey on industrial production for August will be published on the Board's website at https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/g17/g17_technical_qa.htm#hurricaneharvey2017. Additional discussion about the estimation process is available at https://doi.org/10.17016/2380-7172.2086.

G17: G.17 Data for August 2017 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for August 2017 are now available.

Industrial production declined 0.9 percent in August following six consecutive monthly gains. Hurricane Harvey, which hit the Gulf Coast of Texas in late August, is estimated to have reduced the rate of change in total output by roughly 3/4 percentage point. The index for manufacturing decreased 0.3 percent; storm-related effects appear to have reduced the rate of change in factory output in August about 3/4 percentage point. The manufacturing industries with the largest estimated storm-related effects were petroleum refining, organic chemicals, and plastics materials and resins.

A technical Q&A discussing the effect of Hurricane Harvey on industrial production for August will be published on the Board's website at https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/g17/g17_technical_qa.htm#hurricaneharvey2017.

G17: G.17 Data for July 2017 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for July 2017 are now available.

Industrial production rose 0.2 percent in July following an increase of 0.4 percent in June. In July, manufacturing output edged down 0.1 percent; the production of motor vehicles and parts fell substantially, but that decrease was mostly offset by a net gain of 0.2 percent for other manufacturing industries. Following a six-month string of increases beginning in September 2016, factory output was little changed, on net, between February and July. The indexes for mining and utilities in July rose 0.5 percent and 1.6 percent, respectively. At 105.5 percent of its 2012 average, total industrial production was 2.2 percent above its year-earlier level. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector was unchanged in July at 76.7 percent, a rate that is 3.2 percentage points below its long-run (1972-2016) average.

G17: G.17 Data for June 2017 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for June 2017 are now available.

Industrial production rose 0.4 percent in June for its fifth consecutive monthly increase. Manufacturing output moved up 0.2 percent; although factory output has gone up and down in recent months, its level in June was little different from February. The index for mining posted a gain of 1.6 percent in June, just slightly below its pace in May. The index for utilities, however, remained unchanged. For the second quarter as a whole, industrial production advanced at an annual rate of 4.7 percent, primarily as a result of strong increases for mining and utilities. Manufacturing output rose at an annual rate of 1.4 percent, a slightly slower increase than in the first quarter. At 105.2 percent of its 2012 average, total industrial production in June was 2.0 percent above its year-earlier level. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector increased 0.2 percentage point in June to 76.6 percent, a rate that is 3.3 percentage points below its long-run (1972-2016) average.


July 14, 2017

G17: Revised Estimates of Industrial Capacity

The estimates for industrial capacity in 2017 were revised for today's G.17 release. The revisions reflect updated measures of physical capacity from various government and private sources as well as updated estimates of capital spending by industry. Measured from the fourth quarter of 2016 to the fourth quarter of 2017, capacity indexes for the industrial sector and for manufacturing are now expected to increase 1.1 percent and 0.7 percent, respectively; each gain is 0.1 percentage point higher than previously estimated. Mining capacity is now expected to rise 2.7 percent. This increase is 0.5 percentage point higher than previously estimated, primarily reflecting faster capacity growth for oil and gas extraction. The increase in capacity for utilities is unrevised at 0.7 percent.

G17: G.17 Data for March 2017 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for March 2017 are now available.

Industrial production increased 0.5 percent in March after moving up 0.1 percent in February. The increase in March was more than accounted for by a jump of 8.6 percent in the output of utilities-the largest in the history of the index-as the demand for heating returned to seasonal norms after being suppressed by unusually warm weather in February. Manufacturing output fell 0.4 percent in March, led by a large step-down in the production of motor vehicles and parts; factory output aside from motor vehicles and parts moved down 0.2 percent. The production at mines edged up 0.1 percent. For the first quarter as a whole, industrial production rose at an annual rate of 1.5 percent. At 104.1 percent of its 2012 average, total industrial production in March was 1.5 percent above its year-earlier level. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector increased 0.4 percentage point in March to 76.1 percent, a rate that is 3.8 percentage points below its long-run (1972-2016) average.

G17: Introduction of Reliability Estimates for Industrial Production Indexes

With the G.17 statistical release on April 18, 2017, the Federal Reserve Board began publishing estimates of the reliability of the levels and the rates of change (monthly and quarterly) of the reported production indexes for total industry, manufacturing, mining, and utilities. The reliability estimates are designed to give data users a sense of the typical range into which a statistic will likely end up after its final (fifth) revision in a monthly release. The reliability estimates are based on the revision history for the indexes back to 2008; each G.17 release will include estimates for those months and quarters for which either new or updated estimates were issued that month. A detailed explanation is available on the Board's website at https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/g17/revisions/20170418/DefaultRev.htm.

The reliability estimates are issued in table 15 of the G.17 release, available on the Board's website at https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/g17/Current/default.htm. A text file that contains the estimates is also available on the Federal Reserve's website at https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/g17/ipdisk/revh_sa.txt.

March 31, 2017

G17: G.17 Annual Revision Released
The Federal Reserve has revised its index of industrial production (IP) and the related measures of capacity and capacity utilization. On net, the revisions were small, and the contour of total IP is little changed. Total IP is still reported to have moved up about 22 percent from the end of the recession in mid-2009 through late 2014, to have declined in 2015, and to have moved sideways in 2016. The most notable difference between the current and the previous estimates is that total IP is now reported to have decreased about 2 3/4 percent in 2015, whereas it previously showed a decline of about 1 3/4 percent.[2] The incorporation of detailed data for manufacturing from the U.S. Census Bureau's 2015 Annual Survey of Manufactures (ASM) accounts for the majority of the differences between the current and the previously published estimates.

G17: G.17 Annual Revision to be released at noon (EDT) on March 31, 2017

The Federal Reserve Board plans to issue its annual revision to the index of industrial production (IP) and the related measures of capacity utilization at 12:00 noon (EDT) on March 31, 2017. New annual benchmark data for 2015 for manufacturing will be incorporated, as will other annual data, including information on the mining of metallic and nonmetallic minerals (except fuels). The updated IP indexes will include revisions to the monthly indicator (either product data or input data) and to seasonal factors for each industry. In addition, the estimation methods for some series may be changed. Any modifications to the methods for estimating the output of an industry will affect the index from 1972 to the present.

Capacity and capacity utilization will be revised to incorporate data through the fourth quarter of 2016 from the U.S. Census Bureau's Quarterly Survey of Plant Capacity along with new data on capacity from the U.S. Geological Survey, the U.S. Department of Energy, and other organizations.


March 17, 2017

G17: G.17 Data for February 2017 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for February 2017 are now available.

Industrial production was unchanged in February following a 0.1 percent decrease in January. In February, manufacturing output moved up 0.5 percent for its sixth consecutive monthly increase. Mining output jumped 2.7 percent, but the index for utilities fell 5.7 percent, as continued unseasonably warm weather further reduced demand for heating. At 104.7 percent of its 2012 average, total industrial production in February was 0.3 percent above its level of a year earlier. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector declined 0.1 percentage point in February to 75.4 percent, a rate that is 4.5 percentage points below its long-run (1972-2016) average.


March 17, 2017

G17: Seasonal Factors for auto and truck production have been revised

Seasonal factors for auto and truck production were revised back to January 1996 and extended through June 2018 on March 17, 2017. The revised factors for September 2016 through February 2017 were used in the G.17 release published on March 17, 2017, and the revised factors for earlier months will be incorporated into the production estimates at the time of the annual revision on March 31, 2017. The revised seasonal factors are based on production data through January 2017. The revised factors also correct an error in the number of holidays for January 2017, which had previously been understated. The seasonal factors will be revised again in March 2018.

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for January 2017 are now available.

Industrial production decreased 0.3 percent in January following a 0.6 percent increase in December. In January, manufacturing output moved up 0.2 percent, and mining output jumped 2.8 percent. The index for utilities fell 5.7 percent, largely because unseasonably warm weather reduced the demand for heating. At 104.6 percent of its 2012 average, total industrial production in January was at about the same level as it was a year earlier. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector fell 0.3 percentage point in January to 75.3 percent, a rate that is 4.6 percentage points below its long-run (1972-2016) average.


February 15, 2017

G17: G.17 Preliminary Estimates of Industry Capacity

The data in the February 15, 2017 release include preliminary estimates of industrial capacity for 2017. Measured from fourth quarter to fourth quarter, total industrial capacity is projected to rise 1.3 percent this year after increasing 0.4 percent in 2016. Manufacturing capacity is expected to advance 1.1 percent in 2017, somewhat faster than the 0.7 percent pace in 2016. Capacity in the mining sector is estimated to rise 0.9 percent in 2017 after falling 3.4 percent in 2016. Capacity at electric and natural gas utilities is projected to increase 0.8 percent, about the same rate as in the three previous years.


January 26, 2017

H6: MONEY STOCK REVISIONS


The Federal Reserve revised its measures of the money stock and their components to incorporate updated seasonal factors and a new quarterly benchmark.

This release includes seasonally adjusted measures of the monetary aggregates and components produced with revised seasonal factors, which were derived from data through December 2016 and estimated using the Census Bureau's X-13 ARIMA-SEATS seasonal adjustment program.[1] The updated seasonal factors resulted in minor revisions to the growth rates of seasonally adjusted M2 for individual months in 2016, slightly pushing up the growth rate for seasonally adjusted M2 in the first half of 2016 and pulling it down slightly in the second half of 2016.

This release also includes a new quarterly benchmark, which incorporates minor revisions to data reported in the quarterly deposit reports and takes account of deposit data from Call Reports for banks and thrift institutions that are not weekly or quarterly deposit reporters.[2] These revisions to deposit data start in 2015. In addition, this release incorporates data from Call Reports on the amount of small-denomination time deposits held in individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and Keogh accounts; related revisions to deposit data start in 2016. Likewise, the benchmark incorporates revisions to IRA and Keogh balances held at retail and institutional money market mutual funds; these revisions to data on money market mutual funds begin in 2007. This release also incorporates the receipt of historical information from other sources of data.

The effects of both the revisions to seasonal factors and the new quarterly benchmark on the growth rates of M1 and M2 are outlined in appendix tables 6 and 7.

Historical data, updated each week, are available with the H.6 statistical release at www.federalreserve.gov/econresdata/statisticsdata.htm.

G17: G.17 Data for December 2016 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for December 2016 are now available.

Industrial production rose 0.8 percent in December after falling 0.7 percent in November. For the fourth quarter as a whole, the index slipped 0.6 percent at an annual rate. In December, manufacturing output moved up 0.2 percent and mining output was unchanged. The index for utilities jumped 6.6 percent, largely because of a return to more normal temperatures following unseasonably warm weather in November; the gain last month was the largest since December 1989. At 104.6 percent of its 2012 average, total industrial production in December was 0.5 percent above its year-earlier level. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector increased 0.6 percentage point in December to 75.5 percent, a rate that is 4.5 percentage points below its long-run (1972-2015) average.

G17: G.17 Data for November 2016 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for November 2016 are now available.

Industrial production declined 0.4 percent in November after edging up 0.1 percent in October. In November, manufacturing output moved down 0.1 percent, and mining posted a gain of 1.1 percent. The index for utilities dropped 4.4 percent, as warmer-than-normal temperatures reduced the demand for heating. At 103.9 percent of its 2012 average, total industrial production in November was 0.6 percent lower than its year-earlier level. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector decreased 0.4 percentage point in November to 75.0 percent, a rate that is 5.0 percentage points below its long-run (1972-2015) average.

G17: G.17 Data for October 2016 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for October 2016 are now available.

Industrial production was unchanged in October after decreasing 0.2 percent in September. Although the level of industrial production in September was the same as the previous estimate, revisions to the index for utilities raised the rate of change in total industrial production in August and lowered it in September. In October, manufacturing output increased 0.2 percent, and mining posted a gain of 2.1 percent for its largest increase since March 2014. The index for utilities dropped 2.6 percent, as warmer-than-normal temperatures reduced the demand for heating. At 104.3 percent of its 2012 average, total industrial production in October was 0.9 percent lower than its year-earlier level. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector edged down 0.1 percentage point in October to 75.3 percent, a rate that is 4.7 percentage points below its long-run (1972-2015) average.

G17: G.17 Data for August 2016 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for August 2016 are now available.

Industrial production decreased 0.4 percent in August after rising 0.6 percent in July. Manufacturing output also declined 0.4 percent in August, reversing its increase in July; the level of the index in August is little changed from its level in March. Following two consecutive monthly increases, the index for utilities fell back 1.4 percent in August. Even so, the index was 1.7 percent above its year-earlier level, as hot temperatures this summer boosted the usage of air conditioning. The output of mining moved up 1.0 percent in August, its fourth consecutive monthly increase following an extended downturn; the index, however, was still about 9 percent below its year-ago level. At 104.4 percent of its 2012 average, total industrial production in August was 1.1 percent lower than its year-earlier level. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector decreased 0.4 percentage point in August to 75.5 percent, a rate that is 4.5 percentage points below its long-run (1972-2015) average.

G17: G.17 Data for June 2016 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for June 2016 are now available.

Industrial production increased 0.6 percent in June after declining 0.3 percent in May. For the second quarter as a whole, industrial production fell at an annual rate of 1.0 percent, its third consecutive quarterly decline. Manufacturing output moved up 0.4 percent in June, a gain largely due to an increase in motor vehicle assemblies. The output of manufactured goods other than motor vehicles and parts was unchanged. The index for utilities rose 2.4 percent as a result of warmer weather than is typical for June boosting demand for air conditioning. The output of mining moved up 0.2 percent for its second consecutive small monthly increase following eight straight months of decline. At 104.1 percent of its 2012 average, total industrial production in June was 0.7 percent lower than its year-earlier level. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector increased 0.5 percentage point in June to 75.4 percent, a rate that is 4.6 percentage points below its long-run (1972-2015) average.


July 15, 2016

G17: Revised Estimates of Industrial Capacity

The estimates for industrial capacity in 2015 were revised for today's G.17 release. The revisions reflect updated measures of physical capacity from various government and private sources as well as updated estimates of capital spending by industry. Capacity for the industrial sector, measured from the fourth quarter of 2015 to the fourth quarter of 2016, is now expected to increase 0.4 percent, a rate that is 0.1 percentage point lower than previously estimated. Manufacturing capacity is now expected to rise 0.7 percent, a pace 0.2 percentage point less than the previous estimate; a smaller increase in the capacity for manufacturing of selected high-technology goods accounts for the downward revision. The decrease in mining capacity for 2016 is unrevised at 3.4 percent, and the gain in capacity for utilities is also unrevised at 0.8 percent.

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for May 2016 are now available.

Industrial production decreased 0.4 percent in May after increasing 0.6 percent in April. Declines in the indexes for manufacturing and utilities in May were slightly offset by a small gain for mining. The output of manufacturing moved down 0.4 percent, led by a large step-down in the production of motor vehicles and parts; factory output aside from motor vehicles and parts edged down 0.1 percent. The index for utilities fell 1.0 percent, as a drop in the output of electric utilities was partly offset by a gain for natural gas utilities. After eight straight monthly declines, the production at mines moved up 0.2 percent. At 103.6 percent of its 2012 average, total industrial production in May was 1.4 percent below its year-earlier level.

G17: G.17 Data for February 2016 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for February 2016 are now available.

Industrial production decreased 0.5 percent in February after increasing 0.8 percent in January. Sizable declines in the indexes for both utilities and mining in February outweighed a gain of 0.2 percent for manufacturing. The output of utilities dropped 4.0 percent, as unseasonably warm weather curbed the demand for heating. Mining production fell 1.4 percent and has decreased nearly 1.3 percent per month, on average, over the past six months. At 106.3 percent of its 2012 average, total industrial production in February was 1.0 percent below its year-earlier level. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector decreased 0.4 percentage point in February to 76.7 percent, a rate that is 3.3 percentage points below its long-run (1972-2015) average.

H6: MONEY STOCK REVISIONS

The Federal Reserve revised its measures of the money stock and their components to incorporate updated seasonal factors and a new quarterly benchmark.

This release includes seasonally adjusted measures of the monetary aggregates and components produced with revised seasonal factors, which were derived from data through December 2015 and estimated using the X-12-ARIMA procedure.[1] While the updated seasonal factors resulted in revisions to the growth rates of seasonally adjusted M2 for individual months in 2015, the growth rates for seasonally adjusted M2 in the first and second half of 2015 were roughly unchanged.

This release also includes a new quarterly benchmark, which incorporates minor revisions to data reported in the quarterly deposit reports, and takes account of deposit data from Call Reports for banks and thrift institutions that are not weekly or quarterly deposit reporters.[2] These revisions to deposit data start in 2012. In addition, this release incorporates data from Call Reports on the amount of small-denomination time deposits held in individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and Keogh accounts; related revisions to deposit data start in 2015. Likewise, the benchmark incorporates revisions to IRA and Keogh balances held at retail and institutional money market mutual funds; these revisions to data on money market mutual funds begin in 2015. This release also incorporates the receipt of historical information from other sources of data.

The effects of both the revisions to seasonal factors and the new quarterly benchmark on the growth rates of M1 and M2 are outlined in appendix tables 6 and 7.

Historical data, updated each week, are available with the H.6 statistical release at www.federalreserve.gov/econresdata/statisticsdata.htm.

--------------------
[1] Information on the seasonal adjustment procedure is available on the U.S. Census Bureau website at https://www.census.gov/srd/www/x13as.
[2] "Call Reports" refers to the commercial bank Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income (FFIEC 031 and 041; OMB No. 7100-0036) and the credit union Statement of Financial Condition (NCUA 5300/5300SF; OMB No. 3133-0004).

G17: G.17 Data for December 2015 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for December 2015 are now available.

Industrial production declined 0.4 percent in December, primarily as a result of cutbacks for utilities and mining. The decrease for total industrial production in November was larger than previously reported, but upward revisions to earlier months left the level of the index in November only slightly below its initial estimate. For the fourth quarter as a whole, industrial production fell at an annual rate of 3.4 percent. Manufacturing output edged down in December. The index for utilities dropped 2.0 percent, as continued warmer-than-usual temperatures reduced demand for heating. Mining production decreased 0.8 percent in December for its fourth consecutive monthly decline. At 106.0 percent of its 2012 average, total industrial production in December was 1.8 percent below its year-earlier level. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector decreased 0.4 percentage point in December to 76.5 percent, a rate that is 3.6 percentage points below its long-run (1972-2014) average.

H41: Change to H.4.1 to reflect the passage of the FAST Act
The Board's H.4.1 statistical release, "Factors Affecting Reserve Balances of Depository Institutions and Condition Statement of Federal Reserve Banks," has been modified to reflect the policies under which Federal Reserve Banks make payments of their residual net earnings to the U.S. Treasury. The Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act (FAST), which was enacted on December 4, 2015, requires that aggregate Federal Reserve Bank surplus not exceed $10 billion. Therefore, any amount of aggregate Reserve Bank surplus that exceeds this limit will be remitted to the U.S. Treasury. The line "Interest on Federal Reserve Notes due to U.S. Treasury" on table 6 has been replaced with "Earnings remittances due to the U.S. Treasury" and footnotes to tables 1, 5, and 6 have been similarly modified.

The amounts of the line items "Other liabilities and capital" on table 1, and "Surplus" on tables 5 and 6 reflect the payment of approximately $19.3 billion to Treasury on December 28, 2015, which was necessary to reduce aggregate Reserve Bank surplus to the $10 billion limitation in the FAST Act.

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for November 2015 are now available.

Industrial production declined 0.6 percent in November after decreasing 0.4 percent in October. In November, manufacturing production was unchanged from October. The index for utilities dropped 4.3 percent, as unusually warm weather held down the demand for heating. The index for mining fell 1.1 percent in November, with much of this decrease attributable to sizable declines for coal mining and for oil and gas well drilling and servicing. At 106.5 percent of its 2012 average, total industrial production in November was 1.2 percent below its year-earlier level. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector declined 0.5 percentage point in November to 77.0 percent, a rate that is 3.1 percentage points below its long-run (1972-2014) average.


December 16, 2015

G17: G.17 annual revision planned around the end of the first quarter of 2016

The Federal Reserve Board plans to issue an annual revision to the index of industrial production (IP) and the related measures of capacity utilization around the end of the first quarter of 2016. New annual benchmark data for 2014 for manufacturing will be incorporated, as will other annual data, including information on the mining of metallic and nonmetallic minerals (except fuels). The updated IP indexes will include revisions to the monthly indicator (either product data or input data) and to seasonal factors for each industry. In addition, the estimation methods for some series may be changed. Any modifications to the methods for estimating the output of an industry will affect the index from 1972 to the present.

Capacity and capacity utilization will be revised to incorporate data through the fourth quarter of 2015 from the U.S. Census Bureau's Quarterly Survey of Plant Capacity along with new data on capacity from the U.S. Geological Survey, the U.S. Department of Energy, and other organizations.


December 16, 2015

G17: Microprocessor Price Index and Computer Storage Equipment Price Index Released

The Federal Reserve released updated microprocessor price index with new data for 2012 and 2013. This price index was previously issued in 2013 with data for 2007 through 2011. The updated price index was incorporated into the industrial production index for semiconductors and related electronic components published on July 21, 2015, as a part of the annual revision to the G.17 statistical release on industrial production and capacity utilization.

The Federal Reserve also issued an annual price index for computer storage equipment for the period 2002 through 2014. The index provides an estimate of year-to-year price changes for computer storage equipment assuming that the quality of the device is unchanged. Data from IDC, a company specializing in information technology industries, were used to construct a matched-model quarterly price index, which was then converted to an annual index. This annual price index was incorporated into the industrial production indexes for computer storage equipment at the time of the annual revision to the G.17 statistical release on industrial production and capacity utilization that was published on July 21, 2015.

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for August 2015 are now available.

Industrial production decreased 0.4 percent in August after increasing 0.9 percent in July. The increase in July is now estimated to be greater than originally reported last month, largely as a result of upward revisions for mining and utilities. Manufacturing output fell 0.5 percent in August primarily because of a large drop in motor vehicles and parts that reversed a substantial portion of its jump in July; production elsewhere in manufacturing was unchanged. The index for mining fell 0.6 percent in August, while the index for utilities rose 0.6 percent. At 107.1 percent of its 2012 average, total industrial production in August was 0.9 percent above its year-earlier level. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector fell 0.4 percentage point in August to 77.6 percent, a rate that is 2.5 percentage points below its long-run (1972-2014) average.

H3: Change to the Payment of Interest on Excess Reserve Balances
The interest rates paid on reserve balances published at a maintenance period frequency in table 1 of the Board's H.3 statistical release, "Aggregate Reserves of Depository Institutions and the Monetary Base," have been discontinued. As previously announced, effective July 23, 2015, the Federal Reserve Board changed the formula for calculating interest for depository institutions with excess balances to be based on the daily interest rate on excess reserves (IOER rate) and the daily balance maintained, rather than the maintenance period IOER rate and the average balance maintained over the maintenance period. The IOER and IORR rates effective for a given day are now published on the "Interest on Required Balances and Excess Balances" page on the Federal Reserve Board's public website and are available in the Policy Rates Data Download Program.

G17: G.17 Annual Revision Released
The Federal Reserve has revised its index of industrial production (IP) and the related measures of capacity and capacity utilization.1 Total IP is now reported to have increased slightly less than 2-1/2 percent per year, on average, from 2011 through 2013 before advancing about 4-1/2 percent in 2014 and falling back somewhat in the first half of 2015.2 Relative to earlier reports, the current rates of change are lower--especially for 2012 and 2013. For the most recent recession, total IP still shows a peak-to-trough decline of about 17 percent, and the dates for the peak and trough are unaltered. However, the lower rates of change for recent years indicate that the recovery in the industrial sector since the trough has been slower than reported earlier. Total IP is now estimated to have returned to its pre-recession peak in May 2014, seven months later than previously estimated The revision is available at http://www.federalreserve.gov/

G17: G.17 Data for May 2015 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for May 2015 are now available.

Industrial production decreased 0.2 percent in May after falling 0.5 percent in April. The decline in April was larger than previously reported, but the rates of change for previous months were generally revised higher, leaving the level of the index in April slightly above its initial estimate. Manufacturing output decreased 0.2 percent in May and was little changed, on net, from its level in January. In May, the index for mining moved down 0.3 percent after declining more than 1 percent per month, on average, in the previous four months. The slower rate of decrease for mining output last month was due in part to a reduced pace of decline in the index for oil and gas well drilling and servicing. The output of utilities increased 0.2 percent in May. At 105.1 percent of its 2007 average, total industrial production in May was 1.4 percent above its year-earlier level. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector decreased 0.2 percentage point in May to 78.1 percent, a rate that is 2.0 percentage points below its long-run (1972-2014) average.

G17: Seasonal Factors for auto and truck production have been reestimated
Seasonal factors for auto and truck production have been revised. These factors are based on production data through April 2015 and were revised back to January 1996. The seasonal factors explicitly incorporate the holiday schedule for the vehicle assembly lines. The AFL-CIO's current collective bargaining agreements with domestic manufacturers, however, expire at the end of the third quarter of 2015. Factors for the fourth quarter of 2015 and for 2016 were estimated based on the holiday schedule in place over the past three years. Once the new agreements are finalized, the seasonal factors will be updated to reflect the agreed-upon holiday schedule over the terms of the contracts.

G17: G.17 Data for April 2015 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for April 2015 are now available.

Industrial production decreased 0.3 percent in April for its fifth consecutive monthly loss. Manufacturing output was unchanged in April after recording an upwardly revised gain of 0.3 percent in March. In April, the index for mining moved down 0.8 percent, its fourth consecutive monthly decrease; a sharp fall in oil and gas well drilling has more than accounted for the overall decline in mining this year. The output of utilities fell 1.3 percent in April. At 105.2 percent of its 2007 average, total industrial production in April was 1.9 percent above its year-earlier level. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector decreased 0.4 percentage point in April to 78.2 percent, a rate that is 1.9 percentage points below its long-run (1972-2014) average.

G17: G.17 Data for March 2015 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for March 2015 are now available.

Industrial production decreased 0.6 percent in March after increasing 0.1 percent in February. For the first quarter of 2015 as a whole, industrial production declined at an annual rate of 1.0 percent, the first quarterly decrease since the second quarter of 2009. The decline last quarter resulted from a drop in oil and gas well drilling and servicing of more than 60 percent at an annual rate and from a decrease in manufacturing production of 1.2 percent. In March, manufacturing output moved up 0.1 percent for its first monthly gain since November; however, factory output in January is now estimated to have fallen 0.6 percent, about twice the size of the previously reported decline. The index for mining decreased 0.7 percent in March. The output of utilities fell 5.9 percent to largely reverse a similarly sized increase in February, which was related to unseasonably cold temperatures. At 105.2 percent of its 2007 average, total industrial production in March was 2.0 percent above its level of a year earlier. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector decreased 0.6 percentage point in March to 78.4 percent, a rate that is 1.7 percentage points below its long-run (1972-2014) average.


March 16, 2015

G17: G.17 Data for February 2015 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for February 2015 are now available.

Industrial production increased 0.1 percent in February after decreasing 0.3 percent in January. In February, manufacturing output moved down 0.2 percent, its third consecutive monthly decline. The rates of change for the total index in January and for manufacturing in both December and January are lower than previously reported. The index for mining fell 2.5 percent in February; drops in the indexes for coal mining and for oil and gas well drilling and servicing primarily accounted for the decrease. The output of utilities jumped 7.3 percent, as especially cold temperatures drove up demand for heating. At 105.8 percent of its 2007 average, total industrial production in February was 3.5 percent above its level of a year earlier. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector decreased to 78.9 percent in February, a rate that is 1.2 percentage points below its long-run (1972-2014) average.

H6: Money Stock Revisions
For release at
4:30 p.m. EST
January 22, 2015

The Federal Reserve revised its measures of the money stock and their components to incorporate updated seasonal factors and a new quarterly benchmark.

This release includes seasonally adjusted measures of the monetary aggregates and components produced with revised seasonal factors, which were derived from data through December 2014 and estimated using the X-12-ARIMA procedure.[1] The revisions to the seasonal factors resulted in a lower growth rate for seasonally adjusted M2 in the first half of 2014 and a higher growth rate for seasonally adjusted M2 in the second half.

This release also includes a new quarterly benchmark, which incorporates minor revisions to data reported in the quarterly deposit reports, and it takes account of deposit data from Call Reports for banks and thrift institutions that are not weekly or quarterly deposit reporters.[2] These revisions to deposit data start in 2013. In addition, this release incorporates data from Call Reports on the amount of small-denomination time deposits held in individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and Keogh accounts; related revisions to deposit data start in 2014. Likewise, the benchmark incorporates revisions to IRA and Keogh balances held at retail and institutional money market mutual funds; these revisions to data on money market mutual funds begin in 1996. This release also incorporates the receipt of historical information from other sources of data.

The effects of both the revisions to seasonal factors and the new quarterly benchmark on the growth rates of M1 and M2 are outlined in appendix tables 6 and 7.

Historical data, updated each week, are available with the H.6 statistical release at www.federalreserve.gov/releases.
---------
[1] Information on the X-12-ARIMA procedure is available on the U.S. Census Bureau website at www.census.gov/srd/www/x12a.

[2] "Call Reports" refers to the commercial bank Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income (FFIEC 031 and 041; OMB No. 7100-0036) and the credit union Statement of Financial Condition (NCUA 5300/5300SF; OMB No. 3133-0004).

G17: G.17 Data for December 2014 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for December 2014 are now available.

Industrial production decreased 0.1 percent in December after rising 1.3 percent in November. The decrease in December reflected a sharp drop in the output of utilities, as warmer-than-usual temperatures reduced demand for heating; excluding utilities, industrial production rose 0.7 percent. Manufacturing posted a gain of 0.3 percent for its fourth consecutive monthly increase. The index for mining increased 2.2 percent after falling in the previous two months. At 106.5 percent of its 2007 average, total industrial production in December was 4.9 percent above its level of a year earlier. For the fourth quarter of 2014 as a whole, industrial production advanced at an annual rate of 5.6 percent, with widespread gains among the major market and industry groups. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector decreased 0.3 percentage point in December to 79.7 percent, a rate that is 0.4 percentage point below its long-run (1972-2013) average.

G17: G.17 Data for November 2014 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for November 2014 are now available.

Industrial production increased 1.3 percent in November after edging up in October; output is now reported to have risen at a faster pace over the period from June through October than previously published. In November, manufacturing output increased 1.1 percent, with widespread gains among industries. The rise in factory output was well above its average monthly pace of 0.3 percent over the previous five months and was its largest gain since February. In November, the output of utilities jumped 5.1 percent, as weather that was colder than usual for the month boosted demand for heating. The index for mining decreased 0.1 percent. At 106.7 percent of its 2007 average, total industrial production in November was 5.2 percent above its year-earlier level. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector increased 0.8 percentage point in November to 80.1 percent, a rate equal to its long-run (1972-2013) average.

H41: Change to H.4.1, removal of table related to TALF LLC (previously numbered as table 5)
The Board's H.4.1 statistical release, "Factors Affecting Reserve Balances of Depository Institutions and Condition Statement of Federal Reserve Banks," has been modified to reflect the removal of table 5 "Information on Principal Accounts of TALF LLC" and the line "Asset-backed securities held by TALF LLC" from table 2 "Maturity Distribution of Securities, Loans, and Selected Other Assets and Liabilities."

G17: Revised Estimates of Industrial Capacity

The estimates for industrial capacity in 2013 were revised for today's G.17 release. The revisions reflect updated measures of physical capacity from various government and trade sources as well as updated estimates of capital spending by industry. Capacity for the industrial sector, measured from the fourth quarter of 2013 to the fourth quarter of 2014, is now expected to increase 3.1 percent, a rate that is 0.1 percentage point faster than previously estimated. Manufacturing capacity is expected to rise 2.2 percent in 2014, a pace 0.4 percentage point less than in previous estimates; the downward revisions to capacity were widespread among manufacturing industries. The increase in mining capacity for 2014 has been revised up 3.4 percentage points to 9.2 percent, entirely as a result of an upward revision to the capacity for oil and gas extraction. The gain in capacity for utilities, at 1.0 percent, is unrevised.

G17: G.17 Annual Revision Released

The Federal Reserve Board issued its annual revision to the index of industrial production (IP) and the related measures of capacity and capacity utilization. Data for the new series are available on the Board's public website and the Data Download Program.

The Federal Reserve has revised its index of industrial production (IP) and the related measures of capacity and capacity utilization. The annual revision for 2014 was more limited than in recent years because the source data required to extend the annual benchmark indexes of production into 2012 were mostly unavailable. Consequently, the IP indexes published with this revision are very little changed from previous estimates. Measured from fourth quarter to fourth quarter, total IP is now reported to have increased about 3 1/3 percent in each year from 2011 to 2013. Relative to the rates of change for total IP published earlier, the new rates are 1/2 percentage point higher in 2012 and little changed in any other year. Total IP still shows a peak-to-trough decline of about 17 percent for the most recent recession, and it still returned to its pre-recession peak in the fourth quarter of 2013.


March 17, 2014

G17: G.17 Data for February 2014 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for February 2014 are now available.

Industrial production increased 0.6 percent in February after having declined 0.2 percent in January. In February, manufacturing output rose 0.8 percent and nearly reversed its decline of 0.9 percent in January, which resulted, in part, from extreme weather. The gain in factory production in February was the largest since last August. The output of utilities edged down 0.2 percent following a jump of 3.8 percent in January, and the production at mines moved up 0.3 percent. At 101.6 percent of its 2007 average, total industrial production in February was 2.8 percent above its level of a year earlier. The capacity utilization rate for total industry increased in February to 78.8 percent, a rate that is 1.3 percentage points below its long-run (1972-2013) average.

G17: G.17 Data for January 2014 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for January 2014 are now available.

Industrial production decreased 0.3 percent in January after having risen 0.3 percent in December. In January, manufacturing output fell 0.8 percent, partly because of the severe weather that curtailed production in some regions of the country. Additionally, manufacturing production is now reported to have been lower in the fourth quarter; the index is now estimated to have advanced at an annual rate of 4.6 percent in the fourth quarter rather than 6.2 percent. The output of utilities rose 4.1 percent in January, as demand for heating was boosted by unseasonably cold temperatures. The production at mines declined 0.9 percent following a gain of 1.8 percent in December. At 101.0 percent of its 2007 average, total industrial production in January was 2.9 percent above its level of a year earlier. The capacity utilization rate for total industry decreased in January to 78.5 percent, a rate that is 1.6 percentage points below its long-run (1972-2013) average.

FOR: Upcoming changes to the Household Debt Service and Financial Obligations Ratios
Starting with the 2013: Q3 Financial Obligations Ratio (FOR) and Debt Service Ratio (DSR) publication, to be released December 2013, we will publish two subcomponents of the DSR and cease publication of the four existing subcomponents of the FOR. The first new statistic is the Mortgage DSR, defined as the total quarterly required mortgage payments divided by total quarterly disposable personal income. The second new statistic is the Consumer DSR, defined as the total quarterly required consumer debt payments divided by total quarterly disposable personal income. The DSR is the sum of the Mortgage DSR and the Consumer DSR. Most users should find the new DSR components more useful analytically than the former FOR components. The FOR components are being eliminated because of challenges inherent in measuring them accurately. Publication of the total FOR will continue.

G17: Revised Estimates of Industrial Capacity

The estimates for industrial capacity in 2013 were revised for today's G.17 release. The revisions reflect updated measures of physical capacity from various government and trade sources as well as updated estimates of industry capital spending. Capacity for the industrial sector, measured from the fourth quarter of 2012 to the fourth quarter of 2013, is now expected to increase 1.8 percent, a rate that is 0.1 percentage point slower than previously estimated. Manufacturing capacity is expected to rise 1.6 percent in 2013, a pace 0.2 percentage point less than in previous estimates. Relative to the previous estimates, faster gains in the high-technology and motor vehicles industries have been more than offset by slower gains elsewhere in manufacturing. The increase in mining capacity for 2013 has been revised upward by 0.5 percentage point to 4.4 percent, while the change in capacity for utilities, at 0.9 percent, is 0.2 percentage point faster than previously estimated.

The Board's H.3 statistical release, "Aggregate Reserves of Depository Institutions and the Monetary Base," will be modified on July 11, 2013, to include data for the first time depicting (1) the penalty-free band around reserve balance requirements provided for in the final phase of the simplification of reserves administration, (2) interest rates paid on balances maintained to satisfy reserve balance requirements and balances maintained that exceed the top of the penalty-free band, and (3) a monetary base series calculated based on a simplified formula. At the same time, several series currently published in the H.3 statistical release will be discontinued, including the break-adjusted, seasonally adjusted monetary base. Historical data for all discontinued series will remain available through the Data Download Program. A template for the modified H.3 statistical release, along with supplemental information, can be found here: http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h3/upcoming-changes.htm.

H41: Unamortized Premium, Unamortized Discount and Foreign Denominated Assets Breakout

The Board's H.4.1 statistical release, "Factors Affecting Reserve Balances of Depository Institutions and Condition Statement of Federal Reserve Banks," has been modified to separately present the amounts of unamortized premiums and unamortized discounts on securities held outright, as well as the amount of foreign currency denominated asset holdings.

The amounts shown in table 1 of this release as "Unamortized premiums on securities held outright" and "Foreign currency denominated assets" were previously included as components of "Other Federal Reserve assets." The footnote accompanying "Other Federal Reserve assets" in table 1 has been updated to identify the remaining major components, which include accrued interest, other accounts receivable, and bank premises. The amount shown in table 1 of this release as "Unamortized discounts on securities held outright" was previously included as a component of "Other liabilities and capital." The release also reflects this additional detail on tables 8 and 9.

Historical data incorporating these new and revised line items can be accessed through the Data

G17: G.17 Annual Revision Released

The Federal Reserve Board issued its annual revision to the index of industrial production (IP) and the related measures of capacity and capacity utilization. Data for the new series are available on the Board's public website and the Data Download Program.

The Federal Reserve has revised its index of industrial production (IP) and the related measures of capacity and capacity utilization. Measured from fourth quarter to fourth quarter, total IP is now reported to have increased 0.7 percentage point less in 2011 than was previously published. The revisions to IP for other years were smaller: Compared to the previous estimates, industrial production fell slightly less in 2008 and 2009 and increased slightly less in 2010 and 2012. At 97.7 percent of its 2007 average, the index in the fourth quarter of 2012 now stands 0.4 percent below its previous estimate. With these revisions, IP is still estimated to have advanced about 6 percent in 2010, the first full year following the trough in June 2009 of the most recent recession, but it is now estimated to have risen about 3 percent both in 2011 and in 2012. Since the trough of the recession, total IP has reversed about 90 percent of its peak-to-trough decline.


March 22, 2013

G17: Seasonal Factors for auto and truck production have been reestimated

H6: Money Stock Revisions
The Federal Reserve has revised the measures of the money stock and its components to incorporate the results of the Federal Reserve's annual review of seasonal factors and a new quarterly benchmark. This release includes revised monthly and weekly seasonal factors as well as comparisons of the revised monetary aggregates with previously published data. The revisions to the seasonal factors resulted in a lower growth rate for seasonally adjusted M2 in the first half of 2012 and a higher growth rate for seasonally adjusted M2 in the second half.

The benchmark incorporates minor revisions to data reported in the quarterly deposit reports, and it takes account of deposit data from Call Reports for banks and thrift institutions that are not weekly or quarterly deposit reporters. These revisions to deposit data start in 2011. In addition, this release incorporates data from Call Reports on the amount of small-denomination time deposits held in individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and Keogh accounts; related revisions to deposit data start in 2011. The benchmark also incorporates revisions to IRA and Keogh balances held at retail and institutional money market mutual funds; these revisions to data on money market mutual funds begin in 2007. This release also incorporates the receipt of historical information from other sources of data.

Seasonally adjusted measures of the monetary aggregates and components incorporate revised seasonal factors, which were derived from data through December 2012. Monthly seasonal factors were estimated using the X-12-ARIMA procedure. The effects of both the new benchmark and the revisions to seasonal factors on the growth rates of M1 and M2 are outlined in appendix tables 6 and 7.

Historical data, updated each week, are available with the H.6 statistical release at www.federalreserve.gov/releases.

G17: G.17 Data for December 2012 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for December 2012 are now available.

Industrial production increased 0.3 percent in December after having risen 1.0 percent in November when production rebounded in the industries that had been negatively affected by Hurricane Sandy in late October. For the fourth quarter as a whole, total industrial production moved up at an annual rate of 1.0 percent. Manufacturing output advanced 0.8 percent in December following a gain of 1.3 percent in November; production edged up at an annual rate of 0.2 percent in the fourth quarter. The output at mines rose 0.6 percent in December, and the output of utilities fell 4.8 percent as unseasonably warm weather held down the demand for heating. At 98.1 percent of its 2007 average, total industrial production in December was 2.2 percent above its year-earlier level. Capacity utilization for total industry moved up 0.1 percentage point to 78.8 percent, a rate 1.5 percentage points below its long-run (1972--2011) average.

E2: Changes to Items Report on the Release for December, 2012
On March 26, 2012, the Federal Reserve Board under OMB delegated authority approved the request to revise the data collected on the voluntary Survey of Terms of Lending (the source for the data used to produce the E.2 release). Effective with this release (for data collected for the week of November 5-12), the number of banks that is reporting the new items is sufficient to calculate meaningful summary statistics for those responses. Several changes, summarized below, have been made to the E.2 release.
  1. The minimum loan size reported on the survey is now $10,000, an increase from the previous minimum loan size of $7,500. This new minimum is reflected on all tables of the E.2 release.
  2. Loans guaranteed, either in part or in whole, by the Small Business Association (SBA) are now identified. The percent of loans backed by the SBA are now shown on tables 1-6. A new table summarizing the terms of loans backed by the SBA has been added (table 7).
  3. Loans made under syndication or participation are now identified. The percent of loans made under these arrangements are now shown on tables 1-6. A new table summarizing the terms of loans made under participation or syndication has been added (table 8).

In addition to these changes, the time series from the aggregate data reported on the E.2 release will be available for customizable download through the Federal Reserve Board's Data Download Program (DDP) in late January. These data will be updated quarterly with the E.2 release. Finally, we will no longer provide a PDF of the E.2 release.

G17: G.17 Data for November 2012 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for November 2012 are now available.

Industrial production increased 1.1 percent in November after having fallen 0.7 percent in October. The gain in November is estimated to have largely resulted from a recovery in production for industries that had been negatively affected by Hurricane Sandy, which hit the Northeast region in late October. In November, manufacturing output increased 1.1 percent after having decreased 1.0 percent in October; in addition to the storm-related rebound, a sizable rise in the production of motor vehicles and parts boosted factory output in November. The output of utilities advanced 1.0 percent, and production at mines rose 0.8 percent. At 97.5 percent of its 2007 average, total industrial production in November was 2.5 percent above its year-earlier level. Capacity utilization for total industry increased 0.7 percentage point to 78.4 percent, a rate 1.9 percentage points below its long-run (1972--2011) average.

H3: Annual Review of Break and Seasonal Factors for Reserves and the Monetary Base
For release at
4:30 P.M. EST
November 29, 2012

SPECIAL NOTICE

Data on reserves and the monetary base have been revised to reflect the result of annual reviews of seasonal factors and break factors. Revisions to seasonal factors start in January 1999, while revisions to break factors begin in January 2011. Break factors remove discontinuities (or "breaks") associated with regulatory changes in reserve requirements, such as the annual indexations of the low-reserve tranche and the reserve requirement exemption.[1] The maximum revision to total reserves, nonborrowed reserves, required reserves, and the monetary base in any maintenance period was $956 million; most revisions were less than $500 million.

A more detailed description of the methods for constructing break factors and seasonal factors is available under "Annual review of break and seasonal factors" on the Federal Reserve's website. Historical data, updated each week, are available from the Data Download Program website.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. The Monetary Control Act of 1980 established a reserve ratio of 3 percent against the first $25 million in net transaction deposits (low-reserve tranche) at each depository institution. Since 1982, the low-reserve tranche has been indexed each January by 80 percent of the previous year's (June 30 to June 30) growth rate of net transaction deposits at all depository institutions. For all reserve maintenance periods ending in 2012, the low-reserve tranche is $71.0 million, rising to $79.5 million for maintenance periods ending in 2013.
Under the Garn-St Germain Depository Institutions Act of 1982, the first $2 million of reservable liabilities of each depository institution was exempted from reserve requirements. Since 1983, this exemption amount has been indexed each year by 80 percent of the rate of increase of the reservable liabilities at all depository institutions over the preceding year (June 30 to June 30). For all reserve maintenance periods ending in 2012, the reserve requirement exemption is $11.5 million, rising to $12.4 million for maintenance periods ending in 2013.

G17: G.17 Data for October 2012 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for October 2012 are now available.

Industrial production declined 0.4 percent in October after having increased 0.2 percent in September. Hurricane Sandy, which held down production in the Northeast region at the end of October, is estimated to have reduced the rate of change in total output by nearly 1 percentage point. The largest estimated storm-related effects included reductions in the output of utilities, of chemicals, of food, of transportation equipment, and of computers and electronic products. In October, the index for manufacturing decreased 0.9 percent; excluding storm-related effects, factory output was roughly unchanged from September. The output of utilities edged down 0.1 percent in October, and production at mines advanced 1.5 percent. At 96.6 percent of its 2007 average, total industrial production in October was 1.7 percent above its year-earlier level. Capacity utilization for total industry decreased 0.4 percentage point to 77.8 percent, a rate 2.5 percentage points below its long-run (1972--2011) average.

G17: G.17 Data for September 2012 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for September 2012 are now available.

Industrial production rose 0.4 percent in September after having fallen 1.4 percent in August. For the third quarter as a whole, industrial production declined at an annual rate of 0.4 percent. Manufacturing output increased 0.2 percent in September but moved down at an annual rate of 0.9 percent in the third quarter. Production at mines advanced 0.9 percent in September, and the output of utilities moved up 1.5 percent. Roughly 0.3 percentage point of the decline in overall industrial production in August reflected the effect of precautionary idling of production in late August along the Gulf of Mexico in anticipation of Hurricane Isaac, and part of the rise in September is a result of the subsequent resumption of activity at idled facilities. At 97.0 percent of its 2007 average, total industrial production in September was 2.8 percent above its year-earlier level. Capacity utilization for total industry moved up 0.3 percentage point to 78.3 percent, a rate 2.0 percentage points below its long-run (1972-2011) average.

G17: G.17 Data for August 2012 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for August 2012 are now available.

Industrial production fell 1.2 percent in August after having risen 0.5 percent in July. Hurricane Isaac restrained output in the Gulf Coast region at the end of August, reducing the rate of change in total industrial production by an estimated 0.3 percentage point. Manufacturing output decreased 0.7 percent in August after having risen 0.4 percent in both June and July. Precautionary shutdowns of oil and gas rigs in the Gulf of Mexico in advance of the hurricane contributed to a drop of 1.8 percent in the output of mines for August. The output of utilities declined 3.6 percent. At 96.8 percent of its 2007 average, total industrial production in August was 2.8 percent above its year-earlier level. Capacity utilization for total industry moved down 1.0 percentage point to 78.2 percent, a rate 2.1 percentage points below its long-run (1972--2011) average.

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for March 2012 are now available.

Industrial production was unchanged in March for a second month but rose at an annual rate of 5.4 percent in the first quarter of 2012. Manufacturing output declined 0.2 percent in March but jumped 10.4 percent at an annual rate in the first quarter. The gain in manufacturing output in the first quarter was broadly based: Even excluding motor vehicles and parts, which jumped at an annual rate of nearly 40 percent, manufacturing output moved up at an annual rate of 8.3 percent and output for all but a few major industries increased 5 percent or more. In March, production at mines rose 0.2 percent and the output of utilities gained 1.5 percent. For the quarter, however, the output of utilities dropped at an annual rate of 13.8 percent, largely as a result of unseasonably warm temperatures over the past several months, while the output of mining fell 5.4 percent. At 96.6 percent of its 2007 average, total industrial production for March was 3.8 percent above its year-earlier level. The rate of capacity utilization for total industry edged down to 78.6 percent, a rate 2.1 percentage points above its level from a year earlier but 1.7 percentage points below its long-run (1972--2011) average.

G17: G.17 Annual Revision

The Federal Reserve Board issued its annual revision to the index of industrial production (IP) and the related measures of capacity and capacity utilization. Data for the new series are available on the Board's public website and the Data Download Program.

The Federal Reserve has revised its index of industrial production (IP) and the related measures of capacity and capacity utilization. Measured from fourth quarter to fourth quarter, total IP is now reported to have dropped 0.3 percentage point more in 2009; its gains in both 2010 and 2011 were essentially unchanged from what was previously reported. With these minor revisions, the broad contour of total IP in recent years is similar to previous estimates. Since the trough of the last recession in June 2009, total IP has reversed about three-fourths of its peak-to-trough decline.

Capacity utilization rates for recent years were revised down. The revisions show that the rate of capacity utilization for total industry was 0.7 percentage point lower than previously estimated in the fourth quarter of 2010 and 0.4 percentage point lower in 2011, primarily as a result of small upward revisions to estimates of industrial capacity. The capacity utilization rate for the fourth quarter of 2008 was revised down 0.3 percentage point, and the rate in the final quarter of 2009 was revised down about 0.8 percentage point.


March 30, 2012

G17: G.17 Data for January 2012 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for January 2012 are now available.

Industrial production was unchanged in January, as a gain of 0.7 percent in manufacturing was offset by declines in mining and utilities. Within manufacturing, the index for motor vehicles and parts jumped 6.8 percent and the index for other manufacturing industries increased 0.3 percent. The output of utilities fell 2.5 percent, as demand for heating was held down by temperatures that moved further above seasonal norms; the output of mines declined 1.8 percent. Total industrial production is now reported to have advanced 1.0 percent in December; the initial estimate had been an increase of 0.4 percent. This large upward revision reflected higher output for many manufacturing and mining industries. At 95.9 percent of its 2007 average, total industrial production in January was 3.4 percent above its level of a year earlier. The capacity utilization rate for total industry decreased to 78.5 percent, a rate 1.8 percentage points below its long-run (1972--2011) average.

H6: Money Stock Revisions
The Federal Reserve has revised the measures of the money stock and its components to incorporate the results of the Federal Reserve's annual review of seasonal factors and a new quarterly benchmark. This release includes revised monthly and weekly seasonal factors as well as comparisons of the revised monetary aggregates with previously published data. The revisions to the seasonal factors resulted in a higher growth rate for seasonally adjusted M2 in the first half of 2011 and a lower growth rate for seasonally adjusted M2 in the second half.

The benchmark incorporates minor revisions to data reported in the weekly and quarterly deposit reports, and it takes account of deposit data from Call Reports for banks and thrift institutions that are not weekly or quarterly deposit reporters. These revisions to deposit data start in 2002. In addition, this release incorporates data from Call Reports on the amount of small-denomination time deposits held in individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and Keogh accounts; related revisions to deposit data start in 2006. The benchmark also incorporates revisions to IRA and Keogh balances held at retail and institutional money market mutual funds; these revisions to data on money market mutual funds begin in 1996. This release also incorporates the receipt of historical information from other sources of data.

Seasonally adjusted measures of the monetary aggregates and components incorporate revised seasonal factors, which were derived from data through December 2011. Monthly seasonal factors were estimated using the X-12-ARIMA procedure. The effects of both the new benchmark and the revisions to seasonal factors on the growth rates of M1 and M2 are outlined in appendix tables 6 and 7.

Historical data, updated each week, are available with the H.6 statistical release at www.federalreserve.gov/releases.

Previously, industrial production was reported to have gained 0.2 percent in September; most of this revision resulted from lower estimated output for mining. Factory output increased 0.5 percent in October after having risen 0.3 percent in September. Production at mines climbed 2.3 percent in October, while the output of utilities edged down 0.1 percent. At 94.7 percent of its 2007 average, total industrial production for October was 3.9 percent above its year-earlier level. Capacity utilization for total industry stepped up to 77.8 percent, a rate 2.1 percentage points above its level from a year earlier but 2.6 percentage points below its long-run (1972-2010) average.

H3: Annual Review of Break and Seasonal Factors for Reserves and the Monetary Base
For release at
4:30 P.M. EDT
October 27, 2011

SPECIAL NOTICE

Data on reserves and the monetary base have been revised to reflect the result
of annual reviews of seasonal factors and break factors. Revisions to seasonal
factors start in January 1999, while revisions to break factors begin in January
2010. Break factors remove discontinuities (or "breaks") associated with regulatory
changes in reserve requirements, such as the annual indexations of the low-reserve
tranche and the reserve requirement exemption.1 The maximum revision to total
reserves, nonborrowed reserves, required reserves, and the monetary base in any
maintenance period was $2.0 billion; most revisions were less than $700 million.

A more detailed description of the methods for constructing break factors and
seasonal factors is available under "Annual review of break and seasonal factors"
on the Federal Reserve's website (http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h3/hist/).
Historical data, updated each week, are available there as well.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. The Monetary Control Act of 1980 established a reserve ratio of 3 percent
against the first $25 million in net transaction deposits (low-reserve tranche) at
each depository institution. Since 1982, the low-reserve tranche has been indexed
each January by 80 percent of the previous year's (June 30 to June 30) growth rate
of net transaction deposits at all depository institutions. For all reserve
maintenance periods ending in 2011, the low-reserve tranche is $58.8 million,
rising to $71.0 million for maintenance periods ending in 2012.
Under the Garn-St Germain Depository Institutions Act of 1982, the first $2
million of reservable liabilities of each depository institution was exempted from
reserve requirements. Since 1983, this exemption amount has been indexed each year
by 80 percent of the rate of increase of the reservable liabilities at all
depository institutions over the preceding year (June 30 to June 30). For all
reserve maintenance periods ending in 2011, the reserve requirement exemption is
$10.7 million, rising to $11.5 million for maintenance periods ending in 2012.

G17: G.17 Data for July 2011 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for July 2011 are now available.

Industrial production advanced 0.9 percent in July. Although the index was revised down in April, primarily as a result of a downward revision to the output of utilities, stronger manufacturing output led to upward revisions to production in both May and June. Manufacturing output rose 0.6 percent in July, as the index for motor vehicles and parts jumped 5.2 percent and production elsewhere moved up 0.3 percent. The output of mines advanced 1.1 percent, and the output of utilities increased 2.8 percent, as the extreme heat during the month boosted air conditioning usage. At 94.2 percent of its 2007 average, total industrial production for July was 3.7 percentage points above its year-earlier level. The capacity utilization rate for total industry climbed to 77.5 percent, a rate 2.2 percentage points above the rate from a year earlier but 2.9 percentage points below its long-run (1972--2010) average.

July 15, 2011

G17: G.17 Data for June 2011 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for June 2011 are now available.

Industrial production increased 0.2 percent in June after having edged down 0.1 percent in May. For the second quarter as a whole, total industrial production increased at an annual rate of 0.8 percent. Manufacturing output was unchanged in June. In the second quarter, supply chain disruptions following the earthquake in Japan curtailed the production of motor vehicles and parts and restrained output in related industries; the production index for overall manufacturing was little changed for the quarter. The output of mines rose 0.5 percent in June, while the output of utilities climbed 0.9 percent. At 93.1 percent of its 2007 average, total industrial production in June was 3.4 percent above its year-earlier level. The capacity utilization rate for total industry remained unchanged at 76.7 percent in June, a rate 2.2 percentage points above the rate from a year earlier but 3.7 percentage points below its average from 1972 to 2010.


June 30, 2011

H41: Correction to the average amount outstanding of securities lent under the Term Securities Lending Facility for the week ending September 24, 2008
For release on
June 30, 2011

The Board's H.4.1 statistical release ("Factors Affecting Reserve Balances of
Depository Institutions and Condition Statement of Federal Reserve Banks") for
September 25, 2008, overstated the average amount outstanding of securities
lent under the Term Securities Lending Facility (TSLF). On September 18,
2008, a set of securities lent under the TSLF was returned to the Federal
Reserve, but the return of these securities was not reflected in the reported
value for the TSLF until September 24, 2008. As a result, corrections to
table 1A, Memorandum Items, have been made to reflect the earlier return of
these securities on September 18, 2008. Under the TSLF, the Federal Reserve
maintained ownership of securities lent, and the lending of securities did not
directly affect the Federal Reserve's assets and liabilities.

In table 1A, the weekly average value of the "Term facility" for the week
ended Wednesday, September 24, 2008, was corrected from $185,636 million to
$174,045 million. Also in table 1A, the weekly average value of "Securities
lent to dealers" for the week ended Wednesday, September 24, 2008, was
corrected from $204,948 million to $193,357 million.

G17: G.17 Data for May 2011 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for May 2011 are now available.

Industrial production edged up 0.1 percent in May, the second consecutive month with little or no gain. Revisions to total industrial production in months before May were small. In May, manufacturing production rose 0.4 percent after having fallen 0.5 percent in April. The output of motor vehicles and parts has been held down in the past two months because of supply chain disruptions following the earthquake in Japan. Excluding motor vehicles and parts, manufacturing output advanced 0.6 percent in May and edged down 0.1 percent in April; the decrease in April in part reflected production lost because of tornadoes in the South at the end of the month. Outside of manufacturing, the output of mines increased 0.5 percent in May, while the output of utilities fell 2.8 percent. At 93.0 percent of its 2007 average, total industrial production in May was 3.4 percent above its year-earlier level. Capacity utilization for total industry was flat at 76.7 percent, a rate 3.7 percentage points below its average from 1972 to 2010.

H41: Correction to the amount of loans outstanding under the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility as of May 11, 2011

For release on
May 26, 2011

The Board's H.4.1 statistical release ("Factors Affecting Reserve Balances of Depository
Institutions and Condition Statement of Federal Reserve Banks") for May 12, 2011, understated the amount of loans outstanding under the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility and other liabilities by $22.5 million due to the recording of a loan payment one day early. As a result, corrections to tables 1, 2, 8, and 9 have been made.

In table 1, the amount of loans outstanding under the "Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility" on Wednesday, May 11, 2011, was corrected from $15,308 million to $15,330 million, and the related weekly average value was corrected from $15,703 million to $15,706 million. Also in table 1, the amount of "Other liabilities and capital" on Wednesday, May 11, 2011, was corrected from $72,735 million to $72,758 million, and the related weekly average value was corrected from $73,931 million to $73,934 million.

In table 2, the amount of "Loans" with remaining maturities of "Over 1 year to 5 years" was corrected from $15,293 million to $15,316 million and the amount of "Loans" in the "All" maturity category was corrected from $15,330 million to $15,353 million.

In tables 8 and 9, the total amount of "Loans" was corrected from $15,330 million to $15,353 million. In table 8, the amount of "Other liabilities and accrued dividends" was corrected from $20,171 million to $20,194 million. In table 9, the total amount of "Other liabilities and accrued dividends" was corrected from $19,007 million to $19,029 million. In table 9, the corrections also affected the "New York" amounts for "Loans," which revised from $15,308 million to $15,330 million, and "Other liabilities and accrued dividends," which revised from $14,825 million to $14,847 million.

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for February 2011 are now available.

Industrial production declined 0.1 percent in February after having risen 0.3 percent in January; output in January was previously estimated to have edged down 0.1 percent. Manufacturing output increased 0.4 percent in February, and the gain in January was revised up to 0.9 percent. Outside of manufacturing, the output of mines rose 0.8 percent in February, which more than reversed its decline in January. However, the output of utilities fell 4.5 percent--the drop reflected unseasonably warm weather in February, which reduced the demand for heating after two months of unseasonably cold temperatures. At 95.5 percent of its 2007 average, total industrial production was 5.6 percent above its year-earlier level. The capacity utilization rate for total industry edged down 0.1 percentage point to 76.3 percent, a rate 4.2 percentage points below its average from 1972 to 2010.

H3: Closing of the American International Group, Inc. (AIG) Capitalization Plan
For release at
4:30 p.m. EST
January 27, 2011

The Board's H.3 statistical release, "Aggregate Reserves of Depository
Institutions and the Monetary Base," reflects the closing of the American
International Group, Inc. (AIG), recapitalization plan, which occurred on
January 14, 2011. The recapitalization plan was designed to restructure and
facilitate repayment of the financial support provided to AIG by the U.S.
Department of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve. Upon closing of the
recapitalization plan, the credit extended to AIG by the Federal Reserve Bank
of New York under the revolving credit facility (AIG loan), including accrued
interest and fees, was repaid in full. The AIG loan is reported in the "Credit
extended to American International Group, Inc., net" category of total and
other borrowings from the Federal Reserve, which is shown in table 1a of the
H.3 statistical release.

The average value of "Credit extended to American International Group, Inc.,
net" for the two-week period ending January 26, 2011, reflects the closing of
the AIG recapitalization plan. The average value for the two-week period
ending January 26, 2011, is greater than zero because the AIG loan was repaid
in full on January 14, the second day of this two-week period. Table 1a will
continue to show historical values for "Credit extended to American
International Group, Inc., net" to provide a complete disaggregation of total
and other borrowings from the Federal Reserve for past periods.

H41: Closing of the American International Group, Inc. (AIG) recapitalization plan

For release at
4:30 P.M. Eastern Time
January 20, 2011


The Board's H.4.1 statistical release, "Factors Affecting Reserve Balances of Depository Institutions and Condition Statement of Federal Reserve Banks," reflects the closing of the American International Group, Inc. (AIG) recapitalization plan, which occurred on January 14, 2011. The recapitalization plan was designed to restructure and facilitate repayment of the financial support provided to AIG by the U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury) and the Federal Reserve. Upon closing of the recapitalization plan, the cash proceeds from certain asset dispositions, specifically the initial public offering of AIA Group Limited (AIA) and the sale of American Life Insurance Company (ALICO), were used first to repay in full the credit extended to AIG by the FRBNY under the revolving credit facility (AIG loan), including accrued interest and fees, and then to redeem a portion of the FRBNY's preferred interests in ALICO Holdings LLC taken earlier by the FRBNY in satisfaction of a portion of the AIG loan. The remaining FRBNY preferred interests in ALICO Holdings LLC and AIA Aurora LLC, valued at approximately $20 billion, were purchased by AIG through a draw on the Treasury's Series F preferred stock commitment and then transferred by AIG to the Treasury as consideration for the draw on the available Series F funds.

The weekly average values shown in table 1 reflect, as of January 14, 2011, the repayment by AIG of the "Credit extended to American International Group, Inc., net" and the "Preferred interests in AIA Aurora LLC and ALICO Holdings LLC," and the distribution of the "Funds from American International Group, Inc. asset dispositions, held as agent."

The H.4.1 statistical release continues to show average amounts for "Credit extended to American International Group, Inc., net," "Preferred interests in AIA Aurora LLC and ALICO Holdings LLC," and "Funds from American International Group, Inc. asset dispositions, held as agent," even though all funding commitments to AIG have been terminated, to provide a complete disaggregation of changes in assets and liabilities from the corresponding week one year ago.

G17: G.17 Data for December 2010 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for December 2010 are now available.

Industrial production increased 0.8 percent in December after having risen 0.3 percent in November. The rate of change for industrial production was revised down in November but revised up in September and October; the net effect of the revisions from July to November left the level of industrial production in November slightly higher than was previously reported. For the fourth quarter as a whole, industrial production increased at an annual rate of 2.4 percent, a slower pace than in the earlier quarters of the year. In the manufacturing sector, output moved up 0.4 percent in December with gains in both durables and nondurables. Excluding motor vehicles and parts, factory output increased 0.5 percent. The output of mines advanced 0.4 percent; the output of utilities surged 4.3 percent, as unusually cold weather boosted the demand for heating. At 94.9 percent of its 2007 average, total industrial production in December was 5.9 percent above its level of a year earlier. The capacity utilization rate for total industry rose to 76.0 percent, a rate 4.6 percentage points below its average from 1972 to 2009.

H41: Change in Presentation of Reserve Bank Remittances to the U.S. Treasury

For release at
4:30 P.M. Eastern time
January 6, 2011

The Board's H.4.1 statistical release, "Factors Affecting Reserve Balances of Depository Institutions and Condition Statement of Federal Reserve Banks," has been modified to reflect an accounting policy change that will result in a more transparent presentation of each Federal Reserve Bank's capital accounts and distribution of residual earnings to the U.S. Treasury. Although the accounting policy change does not affect the amount of residual earnings that the Federal Reserve Banks distribute to the U.S. Treasury, it may affect the timing of the distributions. Consistent with long-standing policy of the Board of Governors, the residual earnings of each Federal Reserve Bank, after providing for the costs of operations, payment of dividends, and the amount necessary to equate surplus with capital paid-in, are distributed weekly to the U.S. Treasury. The distribution of residual earnings to the U.S. Treasury is made in accordance with the Board of Governor's authority to levy an interest charge on the Federal Reserve Banks based on the amount of each Federal Reserve Bank's outstanding Federal Reserve notes.

Effective January 1, 2011, as a result of the accounting policy change, on a daily basis each Federal Reserve Bank will adjust the balance in its surplus account to equate surplus with capital paid-in and, in addition, will adjust its liability for the distribution of residual earnings to the U.S. Treasury. Previously these adjustments were made only at year-end. Adjusting the surplus account balance and the liability for the distribution of residual earnings to the U.S. Treasury is consistent with the existing requirement for daily accrual of many other items that appear in the Board's H.4.1 statistical release. The liability for the distribution of residual earnings to the U.S. Treasury will be reported as "Interest on Federal Reserve notes due to U.S. Treasury" on table 10. Previously, the amount necessary to equate surplus with capital paid-in and the amount of the liability for the distribution of residual earnings to the U.S. Treasury were included in "Other capital accounts" in table 9 and in "Other capital" in table 10.

G17: G.17 Data for November 2010 are now available

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for November 2010 are now available.

Industrial production increased 0.4 percent in November after a decline of 0.2 percent in October. The rate of change for industrial production was revised down in October but up in September; the net effect of the revisions from June to October left the level of industrial production in October about the same as was previously reported. In the manufacturing sector, output advanced 0.3 percent in November with gains in both durables and nondurables. The gains among durable goods industries were particularly broad-based; only the production of motor vehicles and parts decreased substantially. Excluding motor vehicles and parts, overall factory output advanced 0.7 percent. The output of mines edged lower, but the output of utilities moved up 1.9 percent as the return of more seasonal temperatures boosted the demand for heating. At 93.9 percent of its 2007 average, total industrial production in November was 5.4 percent above its level a year earlier. The capacity utilization rate for total industry rose to 75.2 percent, a rate 5.4 percentage points below its average from 1972 to 2009.

Industrial production was unchanged in October after having fallen 0.2 percent in September. For the manufacturing sector, output gained 0.5 percent in October after having risen 0.1 percent in September. Factory production in September was initially reported to have decreased 0.2 percent, but incoming data on steel, fabricated metal products, machinery, and chemicals helped boost the index. The output of utilities dropped 3.4 percent in October, as unseasonably warm temperatures reduced demand for heating. Production at mines fell 0.1 percent. At 93.4 percent of its 2007 average, total industrial production in October was 5.3 percent above its year-earlier level. The capacity utilization rate for total industry was flat at 74.8 percent, a rate 6.6 percentage points above the low in June 2009 and 5.8 percentage points below its average from 1972 to 2009.

H41: Release modification to report the funds held as agent by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) related to the recapitalization plan announced by American International Group, Inc. (AIG)

For release at
4:30 P.M. EDT
November 4, 2010


The Board's H.4.1 statistical release, "Factors Affecting Reserve Balances of Depository Institutions and Condition Statement of Federal Reserve Banks," has been modified to report the funds held as agent by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) related to the recapitalization plan announced by American International Group, Inc. (AIG) on September 30, 2010. The recapitalization plan, which is expected to close by the end of the first quarter of 2011, is designed to restructure and facilitate repayment of the financial support provided to AIG by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the FRBNY. Pending the closing of the recapitalization plan, the cash proceeds from certain AIG asset dispositions will be held by the FRBNY as agent.

At the closing of the recapitalization plan, the cash proceeds from certain asset dispositions, most notably the initial public offering of AIA Group Limited (AIA) and the sale of American Life Insurance Company (ALICO), will be used first to repay in full the credit extended to AIG by the FRBNY under the revolving credit facility (AIG loan) and then to retire a portion of the FRBNY's preferred interests in AIA Aurora LLC and ALICO Holdings LLC (preferred interests) taken earlier by the FRBNY in satisfaction of a portion of the AIG loan. Alternatively, if the recapitalization plan is terminated under the terms of the plan, then the proceeds from the initial public offering of AIA and the sale of ALICO will be used to redeem the preferred interests in accordance with the AIA Aurora LLC and ALICO Holdings LLC limited liability company agreements, and any excess proceeds from these transactions, as well as proceeds from the disposition of other assets, will be used to repay the AIG loan.

The FRBNY began to hold as agent funds from the cash proceeds from the initial public offering of AIA on October 29, 2010, and from the cash proceeds from the sale of ALICO on November 1, 2010.

The funds held by the FRBNY as agent from the disposition of the AIG assets are reported in table 1 and are included in "Other liabilities and accrued dividends" in table 9 and in table 10.

June 24, 2010


The Board's H.4.1 statistical release, "Factors Affecting Reserve Balances of Depository Institutions and Condition Statement of Federal Reserve Banks," has been modified to include information on term deposits held by depository institutions. Term deposits are a new tool that the Federal Reserve could use to manage the aggregate quantity of reserve balances held by depository institutions.

On May 28, 2010, the Federal Reserve announced a schedule for three small-value auctions of term deposits to be offered through its Term Deposit Facility (TDF). These auctions are intended to ensure the effective operation of the TDF and to help eligible institutions become familiar with the term deposit program. The first auction was conducted on June 14, 2010, and settlement occurred on June 17, 2010. The small-value TDF auctions are a matter of prudent planning and have no implications for the near-term conduct of monetary policy.

Information on the amount of term deposits outstanding is presented on table 1, table 10, and table 11. The maturity distribution of term deposits is presented in table 2.

(AIG). In addition, the release has been modified to incorporate fair value adjustments associated with the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility (TALF).

Consistent with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the AIG revolving credit extension has been reduced by a revision of $1,255 million to the loan restructuring adjustment. The restructuring adjustment is related to the loan modification that eliminated the floor on the Libor rate, announced on March 2, 2009, and that was first incorporated in reported figures beginning with the July 30, 2009, H.4.1 release. The restructuring adjustment recognizes the economic effect of the reduced interest rate on the revolving credit facility and will be amortized over the remaining term of the credit extension. The revised restructuring adjustment incorporates quarterly updates as of December 31, 2009, of estimates of factors such as interest rates and future cash flow streams that are used to value the original loan restructuring adjustment. The Federal Reserve expects that the credit extension, including interest and commitment fees under the modified terms, will be fully repaid.

The weekly average balance of the credit extended to AIG shown in table 1 reflects holdings from March 25, 2010, through Wednesday, March 31, 2010.* The balance for the first six days of this reporting week reflects the loan restructuring adjustment prior to its revision. The balance for the final day of the reporting week reflects the revised loan restructuring adjustment.

Several items on the release have been modified to include fair value adjustments associated with the TALF. A fair value adjustment to the TALF loans extended by FRBNY is recorded in "Other Federal Reserve assets" in table 1 and "Other assets" in table 10 and in table 11. This fair value adjustment of $557 million reflects the value of the future interest received by FRBNY that is paid to the TALF LLC to provide credit protection. The adjustment is substantially offset by a corresponding increase in the fair value of the liability to the U.S. Treasury related to its beneficial interest in the TALF LLC recorded in "Other liabilities and capital" in table 1 and "Other liabilities" in table 10 and in table 11. The fair value adjustments associated with the TALF will be updated quarterly.

* This cover note was revised to reflect the correct dates of the reporting week. The original cover note listed the dates for the previous reporting week.

H41: Preferred Interests in AIA Aurora LLC and ALICO Holdings LLC
For release at
4:30 p.m. EDT
December 3, 2009


The Board's H.4.1 statistical release, "Factors Affecting Reserve Balances of Depository Institutions and Condition Statement of Federal Reserve Banks," has been modified to include information related to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's (FRBNY) preferred interests in AIA Aurora LLC and ALICO Holdings LLC. This information is presented in table 1, in a new table 9, "Supplemental Information on the Federal Reserve Bank of New York"s Preferred Interests in AIA Aurora LLC and ALICO Holdings LLC," in table 10, and in table 11.

In conjunction with the restructuring of the government's assistance to American International Group (AIG) announced March 2, 2009, the outstanding balance and amount available of revolving credit provided to AIG by the FRBNY has been reduced in exchange for preferred interests in two special purpose vehicles, AIA Aurora LLC and ALICO Holdings LLC. These two limited liability companies were created to directly or indirectly hold all of the outstanding common stock of American International Assurance Company Ltd. (AIA) and American Life Insurance Company (ALICO), two life insurance subsidiaries of AIG. AIG will retain control of AIA Aurora LLC and ALICO Holdings LLC, and the FRBNY will have certain consent, disposition, and conversion rights with respect to its preferred interests.

The FRBNY's combined preferred interests in AIA Aurora LLC and ALICO Holdings LLC are presented in table 1, in table 10, and in table 11. Supplemental information on the FRBNY's preferred interests in the two LLCs is presented in table 9. This table presents the FRBNY's preferred interests in the two LLCs and the accrued dividends on those preferred interests.

H41: TALF LLC

For release at
4:30 p.m. EDT
November 19, 2009

The Board's H.4.1 statistical release, "Factors Affecting Reserve Balances of Depository Institutions and Condition Statement of Federal Reserve Banks," has been modified to include information related to TALF LLC, a limited liability company formed to purchase and manage any asset-backed securities that might be received by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) in connection with the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility (TALF). This information will be presented in a new table 8, "Information on Principal Accounts of TALF LLC." The release has also been modified to include information related to the net portfolio holdings of TALF LLC. This information is presented in table 1, in table 8, in table 9, and in table 10.

On November 25, 2008, the Federal Reserve announced the creation of the TALF under the authority of section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act. Under the TALF, the FRBNY extends loans to eligible borrowers to finance the purchase of eligible asset-backed securities (ABS) that serve as the collateral for the loans. The loans provided through the TALF are non-recourse, meaning that the obligation of the borrower can be discharged by surrendering the collateral to the FRBNY. The loans are extended for the market value of the security less an amount known as a haircut. As a result, the borrower bears the initial risk of a decline in the value of the security. TALF LLC has committed, for a fee, to purchase all ABS received by FRBNY in conjunction with a TALF loan at a price equal to the TALF loan plus accrued but unpaid interest. Purchases of these securities are funded first through the fees received by the LLC and any interest the LLC has earned on its investments. In the event that such funding proves insufficient, the U.S. Treasury's Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) will provide additional subordinated debt funding to the TALF LLC to finance up to $20 billion of asset purchases. Subsequently, the FRBNY will finance any additional purchases of securities by providing senior debt funding to TALF LLC. Thus, the TARP funds provide credit protection to FRBNY.


The Federal Reserve has completed its evaluation and consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, the assets and liabilities of TALF LLC will be consolidated with the assets and liabilities of the FRBNY in the preparation of the statements of condition shown on the release. Although the U.S. Treasury provides credit protection to the FRBNY, the FRBNY is the more closely associated beneficiary of the LLC because it directs the significant financial activities of the TALF LLC.


The consequences of this consolidation appear on the release in the following ways. Any extensions of credit from the FRBNY to TALF LLC are eliminated, as is the accrued interest on such loans. The net portfolio holdings of TALF LLC are included in "total factors supplying reserve funds" in table 1 and in "assets" in table 9 and in table 10. The liabilities of TALF LLC to entities other than the FRBNY are included in "other liabilities and capital" in table 1 and in "other liabilities and accrued dividends" in table 9 and in table 10.
Information on the principal accounts of TALF LLC is presented separately in a new table 8. This table presents the net portfolio holdings of TALF LLC, which comprise the fair value of the ABS holdings of TALF LLC and other investments that result from the initial funding provided by the U.S. Treasury, fees paid by the FRBNY, and interest received on investments. In addition, the table presents the book value of the outstanding principal of the loan extended by the FRBNY, the book value of the accrued interest payable to the FRBNY, and the book value of the funding provided by the U.S. Treasury to TALF LLC, which includes the accrued interest payable to the U.S. Treasury.

H8: Changes to Data and Items Reported on the Release for July 1, 2009

Effective with this release, several changes, summarized below, have been made to the data and the line items shown on the H.8 release. These changes relate to the adoption, as of July 1, 2009, of a single reporting form for all weekly reporters (see the Federal Reserve Board's notice published in the Federal Register, 74 FR 10739). Historical data have been revised to reflect these changes. In addition, data from the H.8 release are now available for customizable download through the Federal Reserve Board's Data Download Program (DDP). These data will be updated weekly with the H.8 release.

  1. The line items on loans now include the loans that banks hold in trading accounts. Previously, loans that banks held in trading accounts were included in trading account securities.
  2. Derivatives with a positive fair value and other trading assets are now shown as trading assets not included in bank credit. Previously, derivatives with a positive fair value and other trading assets were included in securities in bank credit.
  3. The set of line items shown on the release has been changed.
    • The set of line items shown on the release is now identical for each bank group (all commercial banks; domestically chartered commercial banks; large domestically chartered commercial banks; small domestically chartered commercial banks; and foreign-related institutions in the U.S.). As a result, more line items are now shown on the release for small domestically chartered banks and foreign-related institutions. Data values that had not previously been reported by a bank group are denoted "--". Previously, the set of balance sheet items shown on the release differed substantially by bank group.
    • The line items on securities are now shown by issuer (Treasury and agency or other) and type of security (mortgage-backed securities (MBS) or non-MBS). Previously, securities were shown by account type (investment account versus trading account) for large domestically chartered commercial banks and foreign-related institutions, and detail on mortgage-backed securities was shown only for large domestically chartered commercial banks that held such securities in investment accounts.
    • Banks' allowance for loan and lease losses is now shown.
    • Some line items are no longer shown separately: security loans are now included in all other loans and leases; state and local government loans held in investment accounts by large banks are now included in other securities, non-MBS; transaction deposits are now included in deposits, other deposits; and nontransaction deposits are now included in deposits, large time deposits or in deposits, other deposits, as appropriate.
    • Some memoranda items that were previously shown for large domestically chartered commercial banks have been eliminated: pass-thru mortgage-backed securities; CMO, REMIC, and other mortgage-backed securities.
  4. The definitions of large and small domestically chartered commercial banks have been revised.
    • Large domestically chartered commercial banks are now defined as the top 25 domestically chartered commercial banks, ranked by domestic assets as of the previous commercial bank Call Report to which the H.8 release data have been benchmarked. Previously, large domestically chartered commercial banks were defined as banks that reported the FR 2416 form (that form was discontinued as of July 1, 2009).
      • If a large domestically chartered bank is acquired by a commercial bank or if a large bank leaves the commercial bank universe, then it is replaced with the bank next in line, typically the bank ranked number 26.
      • If a nonbank converts to a commercial bank charter, or if a small bank becomes large in size, it is not considered for the large bank panel (regardless of size) until the data are benchmarked to the subsequent Call Report.
    • Small domestically chartered commercial banks are now defined as all domestically chartered commercial banks not included in the top 25. Previously, small domestically chartered commercial banks were defined as all domestically chartered banks that did not report the FR 2416 form.
  5. To the extent possible, the information available via the historical H.8 "Notes on the Data" link has been revised to incorporate the changes to the line items shown on the release.

G17: Preliminary Estimates of Industrial Capacity for 2009
The data in this release include preliminary estimates of industrial capacity for 2009. Measured fourth quarter to fourth quarter, total industrial capacity is projected to decrease 0.3 percent this year after having expanded 1.5 percent in 2008.

H3: Note on Nonborrowed Reserves

The H.3 statistical release indicates that nonborrowed reserves of depository institutions were negative for much of 2008 but more recently have turned positive.

By definition, nonborrowed reserves are equal to total reserves minus borrowed reserves. Borrowed reserves are equal to the sum of credit extended through the Federal Reserve's regular discount window programs and credit extended through certain Federal Reserve liquidity facilities. Total borrowings from the Federal Reserve are presented in table 1a of the release. Over much of 2008, in order to maintain a level of total reserves consistent with the Federal Open Market Committee's objective for the federal funds rate, increases in borrowed reserves were offset through a nearly commensurate decrease in nonborrowed reserves, which was accomplished through a reduction in the Federal Reserve's holdings of securities and other assets. The negative level of nonborrowed reserves was an arithmetic result of the fact that borrowings from the Federal Reserve liquidity facilities were larger than total reserves.

More recently, nonborrowed reserves have again turned positive. This development is purely an arithmetic result, in this case of the fact that a large volume of reserves has recently been provided through channels that, for purposes of the Federal Reserve's statistical releases, are not considered borrowings. These channels include foreign currency swap arrangements with foreign central banks and certain special purpose vehicles. Credit extended to these special purpose vehicles are not shown on the Federal Reserve's balance sheet. Rather, as noted on the H.4.1 statistical release, the assets of these vehicles are consolidated onto the Federal Reserve's balance sheet, and consequently credit extended to these special purpose entities is not treated as a borrowing for purposes of the H.3 statistical release.

CP: Clarification of Criteria Considered for Commercial Paper Rates
Financial paper that is insured by the FDIC's Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program is not excluded from relevant indexes, nor is any financial, nonfinancial, or asset-backed commercial paper that may be directly or indirectly affected by one or more of the Federal Reserve's liquidity facilities. Thus the rates published after September 19, 2008, likely reflect the direct or indirect effects of the new temporary programs and, accordingly, likely are not comparable for some purposes to rates published prior to that period.

Through November 4, the documentation on the "About" page of this release indicated that paper issued under "credit-enhanced programs" was excluded from the samples of issues used to calculate reported rates. This wording was intended to convey that asset-backed commercial paper was excluded from the calculation of financial rates. Indeed, consistent with that intent, the Federal Reserve has, since 2006, published a separate rate series for asset-backed commercial paper. To avoid confusion, the reference to "credit-enhanced programs" will be dropped.

Capacity utilization rates for October 2007 through February 2008 have been updated with the G.17 Statistical Release published on September 15, 2008. In April 2008, a six-month reporting window was instituted for the industrial production indexes in the G.17 Statistical Release; however, the capacity utilization rates inadvertently continued to be calculated for only a four-month window. Table 7A shows the revised rates for the affected months. The download program and the historical data files on the Federal Reserve Board's website have been updated with revised data.

  3. For foreign-related institutions, former item 7, "Real estate loans," has been renumbered as item 10 and renamed "Commercial real estate," which reflects the loan category more accurately.
  4. For small domestically chartered banks, former item 9, "Real estate loans, other," has been disaggregated into items 9 and 10, "Other residential" and "Commercial." Historical data beginning June 2, 2004, are available on the web site.

  8. For small domestically chartered banks and foreign-related institutions, former item 13, "Interbank loans," has been renumbered as item 18 and disaggregated into items 19 and 20, "Fed funds and RPs with banks" and "Other." Historical data are available on the web site beginning January 6, 1988, for small domestically chartered banks and January 3, 1973, for foreign-related institutions.
  9. For foreign-related institutions, former item 19, "Nontransaction deposits," has been renumbered as item 26 and a component, "Large time" has been added (item 27). Historical data beginning January 3, 1973, are available on the web site.
  10. For large domestically chartered banks and foreign-related institutions, former memo items 29 and 30, "Reval. gains (losses) on off-bal. sheet items," have been renamed as "Derivatives with a positive (negative) fair value" and moved onto the balance sheet as items 4a1 and 33a. The remaining memo items have been moved to the end of the balance sheet pages. Historical data beginning October 2, 1996, are available on the web site.

CHGDEL: Adoption of FAS 159 by some banks in 2008:1
The adoption by some banks of FAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, affected charge-off and delinquency rate data for 2008:1. Because the effects of the accounting change on the dollar volume of loans reported on banks' loan books were small, the effects of the accounting change on banks' charge-off and delinquency rates were presumably small for the industry as a whole. Information on the dollar impacts on banks' loan books can be found on page 14 in the "Notes on the Data" section beginning with the April 11, H.8, Assets and Liabilities of Commercial Bank in the United States, statistical release. For more information on FAS 159, please refer to www.fasb.org/st/summary/stsum159.shtml.

G17: Preliminary estimates of industrial capacity for 2008

February 15, 2008: The data in this release include preliminary estimates of industrial capacity for 2008. Measured fourth quarter to fourth quarter, total industrial capacity is projected to rise 1.9 percent this year after having expanded 1.8 percent in 2007. Manufacturing capacity is estimated to increase 2.1 percent in 2008, the same amount as in 2007. In 2008, mining capacity is estimated to expand 0.7 percent, and utilities capacity is projected to rise 1.9 percent; both rates of increase would be slightly faster than for last year. With the publication on March 28, 2008, of the annual revision to industrial production, capacity, and capacity utilization, these estimates will be updated to reflect more-comprehensive source data, including the 2006 Survey of Plant Capacity, physical capacity data from government and trade sources, and the revised production indexes.

February 08, 2008

H3: Recent Declines in Nonborrowed Reserves

The H.3 statistical release indicates that nonborrowed reserves of depository institutions have declined substantially since mid-December to a level that is now negative. This development reflects the provision of a large volume of reserves through the Term Auction Facility (TAF) and has no adverse implications for the availability of reserves to the banking system.

By definition, nonborrowed reserves are equal to total reserves minus borrowed reserves. Borrowed reserves are equal to credit extended through the Federal Reserve's regular discount window programs as well as credit extended through the TAF. To maintain a level of total reserves consistent with the Federal Open Market Committee's target federal funds rate, increases in borrowed reserves must generally be met by a commensurate decrease in nonborrowed reserves, which is accomplished through a reduction in the Federal Reserve's holdings of securities and other assets. The negative level of nonborrowed reserves is an arithmetic result of the fact that TAF borrowings are larger than total reserves.


January 10, 2008

G19: Correction to Consumer Credit interest rate observation

H8: Supplementary Information Regarding Balance Sheet Data for July 11, 2007

The seasonally adjusted data released on July 13, 2007--both the H.8 statistical release and the associated historical data--were based inadvertently on a set of newly estimated seasonal factors. These seasonal factors did not represent our final estimates and should not have been published.

In today's H.8 statistical release and in the associated historical data, we have restored the previous set of seasonal factors. In addition, we have corrected the H.8 statistical release of July 13, 2007, by restoring the previous set of seasonal factors to those data. We will publish newly estimated seasonal factors when they have been finalized.


July 13, 2007

H8: Changes to Items Reported on the Release for July 4, 2007
Effective with this release of data for July 4, 2007, several changes have been made to the balance sheet items reported for large and small domestically chartered commercial banks:
  • For seasonally adjusted and not seasonally adjusted assets and liabilities of large domestically chartered banks (pages 5 and 7), former item 12a, "State and local government" loans, and former item 12b, "Agricultural" loans, have been discontinued and the remaining three items under item 12 have been renumbered as 12a through 12c. Data for the two discontinued items have been aggregated into renumbered item 12b, "All other loans."
  • For seasonally adjusted and not seasonally adjusted assets and liabilities of small domestically chartered banks (pages 9 and 10), former item 11, "Security" loans, has been discontinued and data for this item have been aggregated into existing item 12, "Other loans and leases."
  • For memo items of large domestically chartered banks (page 13), former item 34, "Securitized business loans," has been discontinued. On the same page, new item 34, "Securitized real estate loans," has been added to the memo items for both large and small domestically chartered banks.

H8: Changes to Items Reported on the Release for June 2, 2004
Effective with this release, several changes are being made to the balance sheet items reported for large and small domestically chartered banks.
  • For not seasonally adjusted assets and liabilities of all domestically chartered banks (page 4) and of small banks (page 10), item 9, "Real estate loans, other," has been disaggregated into item 9a, "Real estate loans, other residential," and item 9b, "Real estate loans, commercial," effective with the week of June 2, 2004.
  • For seasonally adjusted assets and liabilities of large banks (page 5), item 3b, "Treasury and Agency securities, investment account," has been disaggregated into item 3c, "Mortgage-backed," and item 3d, "Other." Similarly, item 9, "Real estate loans, other," has been disaggregated into item 9a, "Real estate loans, other residential," and item 9b, "Real estate loans, commercial." This additional detail has been available for large banks on a not seasonally adjusted basis (page 7) since October 2, 1996.
  • For not seasonally adjusted assets of large banks (page 7), items 3e, 3f, and 3g, non-mortgage-backed Treasury and Agency investment account securities having remaining maturities of, respectively, 1 year or less, between 1 and 5 years, and more than 5 years, have been discontinued effective with the week of June 2, 2004.
  • For memo items of large banks (page 13), formerly item 33, "Offshore credit to U.S. residents," has been discontinued effective with the week of June 2, 2004.

June 02, 2004

H15: Discontinuance of Treasury Long-Term Average Nominal Rate
In accordance with its announcement of May 5, 2004, the Treasury has ceased publication of its long-term average nominal yield, effective June 1, 2004. The Treasury commenced publishing this rate on February 19, 2002, coinciding with the discontinuance of its 30-year constant maturity rate. At that time, the Treasury began to publish an "extrapolation factor," to allow users to calculate a proxy for the 30-year constant maturity rate. An extrapolation factor will continue to be published, but, as of June 1, it will be based on an extrapolation from the 20-year yield curve point. The extrapolation factor is available at the Treasury website, www.treas.gov/offices/domestic-finance/debt-management/interest-rate/index.html, as reported in footnote 11 of the release.

January 16, 2004

H8: Revised Supplementary Information Regarding Balance Sheet Data for December 17, 2003
Commercial bank balance sheet data back to December 17, 2003, have been revised to reflect further information on consolidations of the assets and liabilities of variable interest entities onto the balance sheets of the banks that sponsor them. Variable interest entities encompass many entities that have been commonly referred to as special purpose entities. For more information on these consolidations, please see Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, available at http://www.fasb.org. The original amounts of these consolidations reported for December 17 on the H.8 release dated December 29, 2003, have been revised as follows: H.8 balance sheet item 4, other securities, from $6 billion to about $7 billion, balance sheet item 6, commercial and industrial loans, from $9 billion to about $17 billion, and balance sheet item 12, other loans and leases, from $13 billion to about $47 billion.

January 05, 2004

H15: Inclusion of Yields on Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities
As of the release of January 5, 2004, the H.15 includes four daily yields, constructed by the Treasury Department, on Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS): yields at constant maturities of 5, 7, and 10 years and an average of yields on all TIPS having remaining maturities of more than 10 years. Historical data for these series are available back to January 2, 2003. Further information may be found at www.treas.gov/offices/domestic-finance/debt-management/interest-rate/index.html.

October 17, 2003

H8: Supplementary Information Regarding Balance Sheet Data for October 8, 2003
A number of balance sheet items have changed as a result of declines in some banks' reported consolidations of variable interest entities (VIEs). Most of these declines reflect some banks' decisions to stop consolidating their VIEs in response to the announcement by the Financial Accounting Standards Board on October 9 that it had decided to defer the implementation of its Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities from the first reporting period beginning after June 15, 2003 to the first reporting period ending after December 15, 2003. For further information, please see the FASB website, www.fasb.org. In addition, a small part of the decline reflects a restructuring of some VIEs so that they no longer need to be consolidated on bank balance sheets.

The balance sheet items affected are other securities, item 4, other loans and leases, item 12, and borrowings from others, item 24. Some of these changes extend back to July 2. Revised data for the H.8 statistical release are available on the Board's website, www.federalreserve.gov/releases.


October 10, 2003

H8: Supplementary Information Regarding Balance Sheet Data for October 1, 2003
Commercial bank balance sheet data for October 1, 2003, have been affected by consolidations of the assets and liabilities of several variable interest entities onto the balance sheets of the banks that sponsor them. Variable interest entities encompass many entities that have been commonly referred to as special purpose entities. These consolidations were implemented in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46. For more information on these consolidations, please see Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, available at www.fasb.org. Preliminary information suggests that these consolidations have increased H.8 balance sheet item 4, other securities, by about $9 billion, balance sheet item 12, other loans and leases, by about $6 billion, and balance sheet item 24, borrowings from others, by about $15 billion.

July 11, 2003

H8: Supplementary Information Regarding Balance Sheet Data for July 2, 2003
Commercial bank balance sheet data for July 2, 2003, have been affected by consolidations of the assets and liabilities of several variable interest entities onto the balance sheets of the banks that sponsor them. Variable interest entities encompass many entities that have been commonly referred to as special purpose entities. These consolidations were implemented in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46. For more information on these consolidations, please see Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, available at www.fasb.org/int46.shtml. Preliminary information suggests that these consolidations have increased H.8 balance sheet item 4, other securities, by about $3 billion, balance sheet item 6, commercial and industrial loans, by about $17 billion, balance sheet item 12, other loans and leases, by about $40 billion, and balance sheet item 24, borrowings from others, by about $60 billion.

July 29, 2002

H8: Extension of Major Bank Credit Series to 1947

Monthly estimates of total bank credit and its major components, seasonally adjusted and not seasonally adjusted, have been extended back from January 1973, the former start date for all the bank credit series, to January 1947. The components that have been extended are holdings of U.S. government securities, holdings of other securities, and the following loan categories: commercial and industrial, real estate, consumer, security, and "all other."

Data in the H.8 are for all commercial banks in the United States, which consist of domestically chartered banks and foreign-related institutions (mainly U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks). The data for 1973 through 1987 report totals for all institutions as well as subtotals for domestically chartered banks and for foreign-related institutions; beginning in 1988, the data are further disaggregated between large and small domestically chartered banks. The extended data (1947-72) show only all-institution totals.

As with the current data, the extended monthly data are prorated averages of Wednesday values. The weekly Wednesday data underlying the monthly averages mix actual historical observations with estimates that are based on linear interpolations of semimonthly, monthly, and, in a few cases, lower-frequency observations.

Several bank credit series received generally minor revisions for the 1973-87 period when the longer time series were introduced.


July 29, 2002

H8: Discontinuation of District-specific balance sheet data

Effective with this edition of the H.8 statistical release, the Federal Reserve is discontinuing the publication of the District-specific balance sheet data of large, domestically chartered banks that appeared on pages 11 through 14 of the release.

The reason for the change is that, with the ability of banks to establish branches virtually nationwide as of June 1, 1997, a number of large bank holding companies have converted banks located across several Federal Reserve Districts into branches of a single bank. These consolidations have significantly shifted bank balance sheet items among Federal Reserve Districts, further weakening the connection between banking data reported separately by Federal Reserve District and actual banking activities in each District.

However, the item coverage of the aggregate balance sheets of large banks in the H.8 has been expanded to retain the national totals of some of the items in the District tables that had not appeared in the national tables. As a result, the H.8 now reports the large bank data on four pages rather than two.


February 25, 2002

H15: Changes to Treasury Long-Term Rate Series

As of the release dated February 25, 2002, the H.15 no longer reports a 30-year constant maturity yield for Treasury securities and begins reporting a yield for Treasury securities with 25 years or more remaining to maturity.

The changes reflect the Treasury's announcement on January 30, 2002, that, effective February 18, it would cease supplying an estimate of the 30-year constant maturity yield and that it would commence supplying a long-term yield based on a basket of long-dated securities.

As indicated in footnote 12 of the release, the new long-term rate is based on an unweighted average of the bid yields for all Treasury fixed-coupon securities with remaining terms to maturity of at least 25 years. A factor to adjust the daily long-term average to estimate a 30-year rate is available at the Treasury web site reported in footnote 13 of the release.


October 26, 2001

H15: Original and Revised Treasury Rates for the Week Ending September 14, 2001

The H.15 site has links to the original September 17, 2001, release as well as to the revised releases for that date and for September 24.

Data for most of the interest rates reported in the H.15 release of September 17, 2001, were missing for September 11-13 because of inactive markets or delays in data processing arising from the disasters of September 11.

On September 25 the Treasury released the data that had been missing for September 13 regarding the constant maturity interest rates on Treasury securities and the secondary rates on bills. On October 1, 2001, the Federal Reserve issued a revised version of the H.15 release of September 17 to show the September 13 values of those series and the correspondingly updated values of the averages for the week ending September 14; also on October 1, 2001, the Federal Reserve issued a revised version of the September 24 release to show the new values of the averages for the week ending September 14.


September 04, 2001

H15: Changes in the reporting of Treasury securities

On July 31, 2001, the Department of the Treasury began the weekly issuance of 4-week bills. On August 27, 2001, the Treasury stopped reporting secondary market yields for 1-year Treasury bills, the final issuance of which was on February 27, 2001.

Effective with the issue of September 4, 2001, the H.15 statistical release reflects these changes by reporting the secondary market rate for 4-week bills and by no longer reporting the secondary market rate for 1-year bills.

In addition, the H.15 now reports a 1-month constant maturity rate, which the Treasury began calculating when it introduced the 4-week bill.

H15: Note to Users of the H.15 Statistical Release; The addition of swap rates.
Effective July 10, 2000, several changes are being made to the H.15 release:

Rates for fixed-rate payers in interest rate swaps, as collected under the auspices of the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., are being added. These swap rates are for maturities of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, and 30 years.

No longer appearing on the release are auction highs for 3-month, 6-month, and 1-year Treasury bills. These figures continue to be available from the Treasury's website: http://www.publicdebt.treas.gov/of/ofrespr.htm. Also being dropped is the Treasury composite (an unweighted average of yields on all outstanding bonds neither due nor callable in less than 10 years).

Finally, the H.15 no longer contains rates for 3-month and 6-month bankers acceptances. The quotes continue to be available on Telerate, which was the source for these rates as reported on the H.15.

November 17, 1999

CHGDEL: Partial estimation of delinquency rates in 1999:3
