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.) 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-Oct. 38776 38358 37629 585014 6778 45233 31998 13235 Nov. 38786 38502 37584 589120 7156 44635 31629 13006 Dec. 38540 38331 37216 597120 7159 45228 31381 13847 2001-Jan. 39791 39718 38538 598377 7190 47683 32601 15083 Feb. 39349 39298 37917 595586 6615 48518 32734 15784 Mar. 37715 37657 36329 598195 6737 44105 30978 13128 Apr. 38591 38540 37314 601835 6863 43657 31728 11929 May 39382 39169 38363 605481 7610 43263 31772 11491 June 38233 38004 36873 608825 7058 43133 31175 11958 July 39296 39013 37889 615558 7674 43909 31622 12287 Aug. 39621 39437 38386 621995 7564 44010 32056 11953 Sep. 57516 54131 38478 645712 25578 43464 31938 11526 Oct. p 44572 44445 43260 637857 12116 45005 32456 12549 Two weeks ending 2001-Sep. 5 40032 39876 38507 625134 8288 42885 31744 11141 -16 19 75455 68738 37280 664846 44481 43032 30974 12059 207 Oct. 3 42633 42021 39991 630715 9378 44277 33255 11022 595 17 45995 45914 45186 638498 13605 45736 32390 13346 224 31p 43565 43496 42035 638746 11214 44431 32351 12080 -196 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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-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 594915 May 39462 39249 38443 598571 June 38331 38102 36971 601688 July 39413 39130 38006 608225 Aug. 39751 39568 38517 614514 Sep. 57674 54289 38636 637966 Oct. p 44756 44628 43444 629769 Two weeks ending 2001-Sep. 5 40174 40018 38649 617536 19 75604 68887 37429 657253 Oct. 3 42808 42196 40166 622704 17 46185 46104 45376 630367 31p 43743 43674 42214 630685 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/).
