Reserves and monetary base figures incorporate adjustments for discontinuities, or "breaks", associated with regulatory changes in reserve requirements. (For more information, see Table 3). 2. Seasonally adjusted, break-adjusted total reserves equal seasonally adjusted, break-adjusted required reserves plus unadjusted excess reserves. (Also, see footnote 2 on Table 2 and footnote 2 on Table 3.) 3. Seasonally adjusted, break-adjusted nonborrowed reserves equal seasonally adjusted, break-adjusted total reserves less unadjusted total borrowings of depository institutions from the Federal Reserve. 4. Excess reserves NSA equals unadjusted total reserves (Table 2, column 1) less adjusted required reserves (Table 2, column 3). 5. The seasonally adjusted, break-adjusted monetary base consists of (1) seasonally adjusted, break-adjusted total reserves plus (2) the seasonally adjusted currency component of the money stock plus (3), for all quarterly reporters on the "Report of Transaction Accounts, Other Deposits and Vault Cash" and for all those weekly reporters whose vault cash exceeds their required reserves, the seasonally adjusted, break-adjusted difference between current vault cash and the amount applied to satisfy current reserve requirements. (Also see footnote 3 on Table 2 and footnote 4 on Table 3.) 6. Prorated averages of biweekly averages. 7. Averages of daily figures. p preliminary 1 H.3 (502) Table 2 AGGREGATE RESERVES OF DEPOSITORY INSTITUTIONS AND THE MONETARY BASE Not adjusted for changes in reserve requirements(1) Not seasonally adjusted Millions of dollars ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reserves of depository institutions Vault cash(5) -------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- Reserve used to Net carryover Date total(2) nonborrowed required Monetary balances total satisfy surplus(7) of reserve base(3) with F.R. required balances(8) Banks(4) reserves(6) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Month(9) 2005-May 46474 46335 44941 775653 12015 45628 34460 11169 June 46096 45847 44320 779530 11220 46280 34876 11404 July 46468 46043 44733 782494 10851 47278 35617 11662 Aug. 44862 44499 43238 782660 10346 48159 34516 13643 Sep. 45612 45280 43568 785659 11140 47282 34472 12809 Oct. 44113 43830 42216 786531 9630 49515 34483 15032 Nov. 43997 43871 42201 792310 9500 49202 34497 14705 Dec. 44909 44740 42960 801800 9541 51302 35368 15934 2006-Jan. 47287 47177 45846 804402 10382 52040 36904 15136 Feb. 44693 44641 43139 804464 9450 53260 35243 18017 Mar. 42751 42582 41253 806149 9113 49587 33638 15949 Apr. 44708 44460 42892 808398 10258 48360 34450 13910 May p 45423 45248 43630 811923 10669 48283 34753 13530 2 weeks ending(10) 2006-Apr. 12 41169 40722 39059 806977 9246 48675 31924 16752 30 26 47467 47364 46001 809173 10947 48259 36520 11739 252 May 10 45670 45514 43512 809948 10883 47772 34788 12985 66 24 45772 45601 44341 811976 10648 48877 35124 13753 269 June 7p 44371 44162 42378 814641 10408 47826 33963 13863 160 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Reflects actual required reserves, with no adjustments to eliminate the effects of discontinuities, or "breaks", associated with regulatory changes in reserve requirements. 2. Reserve balances with Federal Reserve Banks plus vault cash used to satisfy reserve requirements. 3. The monetary base, not break-adjusted and not seasonally adjusted, consists of (1) total reserves plus (2) required clearing balances and adjustments to compensate for float at Federal Reserve Banks plus (3) the currency component of the money stock plus (4), for all quarterly reporters on the "Report of Transaction Accounts, Other Deposits and Vault Cash" and for all those weekly reporters whose vault cash exceeds their required reserves, the difference between current vault cash and the amount applied to satisfy current reserve requirements. Currency and vault cash figures are measured over computation periods ending on Mondays. 4. Excludes required clearing balances and adjustments to compensate for float and includes other off-balance sheet "as-of" adjustments. 5. Vault cash eligible to satisfy reserve requirements. It includes only vault cash held by those banks and thrifts that are not exempt from reserve requirements. Dates refer to the maintenance periods in which the vault cash can be used to satisfy reserve requirements. 6. All vault cash held during the lagged computation period by "bound" institutions (i.e., those whose required reserves exceed their vault cash) plus the amount of vault cash applied during the maintenance period by "nonbound" institutions (i.e., those whose vault cash exceeds their required reserves) to satisfy current reserve requirements. 7. Total vault cash eligible to satisfy reserve requirements, held by depository institutions not exempt from reserve requirements, minus the amount used to satisfy reserve requirements. 8. Consists of carryover only at depository institutions maintaining reserves on the basis of two-week maintenance periods. Reflects excess (+) or deficit (-) reserves eligible to be carried forward into the two-week reserve maintenance period ending on the date shown. 9. Prorated averages of biweekly averages. 10. Averages of daily figures. p preliminary 1 H.3 (502) Table 3 AGGREGATE RESERVES OF DEPOSITORY INSTITUTIONS AND THE MONETARY BASE Adjusted for changes in reserve requirements(1) Not seasonally adjusted Millions of dollars --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reserves of depository institutions --------------------------------------- Date total(2) nonborrowed required(3) Monetary base(4) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Month(5) 2005-May 46360 46221 44826 766893 June 45968 45720 44192 770864 July 46310 45885 44574 773642 Aug. 44661 44298 43038 773624 Sep. 45398 45066 43354 776936 Oct. 43870 43586 41973 777640 Nov. 43711 43585 41915 783314 Dec. 44666 44497 42717 792872 2006-Jan. 47215 47105 45774 795325 Feb. 44707 44654 43152 796205 Mar. 42772 42603 41274 798123 Apr. 44733 44485 42917 800874 May p 45447 45272 43654 804734 2 weeks ending(6) 2006-Apr. 12 41195 40748 39085 799262 26 47491 47388 46025 801575 May 10 45691 45535 43533 803258 24 45796 45625 44366 804619 June 7p 44399 44190 42405 807072 1. Figures reflect adjustments for discontinuities, or "breaks", associated with regulatory changes in reserve requirements. 2. Break-adjusted total reserves equal break-adjusted required reserves (Table 3, column 3) plus excess reserves NSA (Table 1, column 5). 3. To adjust required reserves for discontinuities due to regulatory changes in in reserve requirements, a multiplicative procedure is used to estimate what required reserves would have been in past periods had current reserve requirements been in effect. Break-adjusted required reserves are equal to break-adjusted required reserves against transactions deposits. 4. The break-adjusted monetary base equals (1) break-adjusted total reserves plus (2) the (unadjusted) currency component of the money stock plus (3), for all quarterly reporters on the "Report of Transaction Accounts, Other Deposits and Vault Cash" and for all those weekly reporters whose vault cash exceeds their required reserves, the break-adjusted difference between current vault cash and the amount applied to satisfy current reserve requirements. 5.
