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) 2006-Jan. 47152 47042 45568 804303 10284 52082 36868 15214 Feb. 44622 44569 43071 804422 9408 53305 35213 18092 Mar. 42732 42563 41220 806238 9132 49630 33601 16029 Apr. 44723 44475 42895 808419 10280 48394 34443 13951 May 45427 45252 43624 811877 10627 48306 34800 13506 June 45037 44784 43247 812202 9894 48996 35143 13852 July 44841 44491 43294 811727 9589 49628 35252 14376 Aug. 42664 42295 41131 809723 8780 50247 33884 16363 Sep. 42594 42191 40832 809976 9101 49409 33493 15915 Oct. 41740 41512 40061 809237 8254 50102 33486 16616 Nov. 42221 42061 40517 815385 8457 48969 33763 15206 Dec. 43274 43083 41461 825300 8479 50905 34795 16110 2007-Jan. p 44638 44427 43119 823746 8797 52170 35841 16329 2 weeks ending(10) 2006-Dec. 20 40116 39906 38679 820909 7190 50332 32926 17406 306 2007-Jan. 3 46915 46724 44807 832920 9540 52996 37376 15621 -15 17 39952 39790 38325 825256 7666 50330 32286 18044 14 31 48836 48572 47552 820271 9769 53835 39068 14767 31 Feb. 14p 40288 40258 39069 817156 6719 56049 33569 22480 -60 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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) 2006-Jan. 47080 46970 45496 795226 Feb. 44635 44582 43084 796162 Mar. 42754 42585 41242 798211 Apr. 44748 44500 42920 800896 May 45451 45276 43648 804687 June 45069 44816 43278 804881 July 44876 44525 43328 804604 Aug. 42695 42326 41162 802651 Sep. 42627 42224 40865 803089 Oct. 41768 41539 40088 802290 Nov. 42246 42086 40543 808524 Dec. 43274 43083 41461 818354 2007-Jan. p 44613 44402 43094 816841 2 weeks ending(6) 2006-Dec. 20 40145 39935 38708 813882 2007-Jan. 3 46861 46670 44752 826019 17 39900 39739 38274 818277 31 48843 48579 47559 813438 Feb. 14p 40297 40267 39078 810300 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.
