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.

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-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 591498 Feb. 39378 39327 37946 589036 Mar. 37762 37705 36377 591364 Apr. 38655 38605 37379 594871 May p 39464 39251 38443 598273 Two weeks ending 2001-Apr. 18 37590 37548 36394 594929 May 2 39828 39770 38614 595342 16 38267 37921 37377 596884 30 40777 40680 39669 600298 June 13p 37125 36830 35857 595231 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. p--preliminary Note: Current and historical H.3 data are available each week on the Federal Reserve Board's web site (http://www.federalreserve.gov/).
