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. Total borrowing includes borrowing under the extended credit program. 7. Borrowing at the discount window under the terms and conditions established for Century Date Change Special Liquidity Facility in effect from October 1, 1999 through April 7, 2000. p--preliminary 1 H.3 (502) Table 2 AGGREGATE RESERVES OF DEPOSITORY INSTITUTIONS AND THE MONETARY BASE Not adjusted for changes in reserve requirements1 Averages of daily figures, not seasonally adjusted Millions of dollars ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reserves of depository institutions Vault cash5 -------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- Reserve used to Net carryover Date total2 nonborrowed required Monetary base3 balances total satisfy surplus7 of reserve with F.R. required balances8 Banks4 reserves6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2000-Apr. 40601 40297 39444 578468 7093 46456 33508 12948 May 41585 41224 40614 580222 7692 44643 33894 10749 June 39363 38884 38247 581687 6610 44560 32753 11807 July 39884 39315 38741 584283 6802 45473 33082 12391 Aug. 39464 38885 38460 583401 6933 45319 32531 12788 Sep. 39168 38691 38050 583519 6852 44807 32316 12491 Oct. 38776 38358 37629 585014 6778 45178 31998 13180 Nov. 38786 38502 37584 589120 7156 44546 31629 12917 Dec. 38540 38331 37216 597120 7159 45120 31381 13739 2001-Jan. 39791 39718 38538 598372 7190 47506 32601 14905 Feb. 39349 39298 37917 595496 6615 48396 32734 15662 Mar. 37717 37660 36332 597995 6737 44019 30980 13039 Apr. p 38603 38552 37331 602163 6861 43620 31741 11879 Two weeks ending 2001-Mar. 7 38382 38288 37103 596417 6836 44016 31547 12469 366 21 36600 36562 35419 597552 6296 43784 30304 13480 81 Apr. 4 38817 38758 37070 599721 7288 44351 31530 12822 78 18 37544 37502 36349 601496 6330 43408 31214 12193 113 May 2p 39767 39708 38565 603757 7340 43625 32427 11198 113 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. p--preliminary 1 H.3 (502) Table 3 AGGREGATE RESERVES OF DEPOSITORY INSTITUTIONS AND THE MONETARY BASE Adjusted for changes in reserve requirements1 Averages of daily figures, not seasonally adjusted Millions of dollars --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reserves of depository institutions --------------------------------------- Date total2 nonborrowed required3 Monetary base4 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2000-Apr. 40631 40327 39474 571657 May 41618 41256 40646 573395 June 39404 38925 38287 574811 July 39930 39360 38786 577493 Aug. 39509 38930 38505 576664 Sep. 39224 38746 38105 576836 Oct. 38837 38419 37690 578291 Nov. 38846 38563 37645 582356 Dec. 38596 38386 37271 590200 2001-Jan. 39775 39702 38522 591493 Feb. 39378 39327 37946 588946 Mar. 37765 37707 36379 591165 Apr. p 38667 38616 37396 595245 Two weeks ending 2001-Mar. 7 38420 38325 37141 589758 21 36645 36607 35465 590549 Apr. 4 38874 38815 37127 593013 18 37609 37567 36414 594683 May 2p 39832 39773 38630 596644 p--preliminary pe--preliminary estimate 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.
