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-July 47001 46576 45260 783031 11388 47287 35612 11674 Aug. 45508 45145 43891 783315 11002 48168 34506 13662 Sep. 46198 45865 44163 786255 11735 47286 34462 12823 Oct. 44725 44442 42830 787150 10250 49514 34475 15039 Nov. 44622 44496 42834 792942 10131 49198 34491 14707 Dec. 45401 45233 43492 802303 10045 51306 35356 15950 2006-Jan. 47181 47071 45594 804293 10277 52068 36904 15164 Feb. 44649 44597 43107 804419 9405 53287 35244 18043 Mar. 42750 42581 41246 806164 9125 49603 33625 15978 Apr. 44721 44473 42893 808424 10283 48370 34438 13932 May 45396 45222 43596 811903 10655 48287 34742 13546 June 45054 44801 43270 812231 9923 48979 35131 13847 July 44862 44511 43318 811779 9632 49609 35229 14380 2 weeks ending(10) 2006-June 21 44451 44202 42821 811070 9630 48536 34821 13715 181 July 5 46559 46267 44704 812185 10009 50561 36550 14011 118 19 41368 41054 39905 812302 8414 49178 32954 16224 140 Aug. 2 48231 47813 46722 810999 10897 49716 37334 12382 5 16p 39205 38861 37632 809432 7664 51242 31541 19702 45 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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-July 46842 46418 45101 774179 Aug. 45307 44944 43690 774279 Sep. 45983 45651 43948 777532 Oct. 44482 44199 42586 778259 Nov. 44337 44211 42549 783946 Dec. 45158 44989 43249 793375 2006-Jan. 47109 46999 45522 795216 Feb. 44662 44610 43120 796158 Mar. 42772 42603 41268 798138 Apr. 44746 44498 42918 800900 May 45420 45246 43620 804714 June 45085 44832 43302 804911 July 44896 44545 43352 804655 2 weeks ending(6) 2006-June 21 44481 44231 42851 803763 July 5 46595 46303 44741 805037 19 41403 41089 39940 805099 Aug. 2 48263 47845 46754 803978 16p 39230 38886 37657 802231 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.
