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-Dec. 43282 43091 41474 825288 8479 50897 34803 16094 2007-Jan. 44631 44420 43125 823693 8775 52160 35857 16304 Feb. 42685 42656 41187 819693 7720 53728 34966 18762 Mar. 40753 40699 39118 820793 7518 49732 33236 16496 Apr. 42541 42462 41016 822629 8560 48809 33981 14828 May 44066 43963 42630 825071 9205 48659 34861 13798 June 43652 43465 41951 826508 8739 49432 34913 14519 July 42731 42469 41067 828452 8420 50206 34311 15896 Aug. 44621 43646 39799 829739 10983 51040 33637 17402 Sep. 42079 40513 40338 826415 8606 49628 33473 16155 Oct. 41476 41222 40026 828353 8264 49747 33212 16535 Nov. 41863 41497 40187 833075 8526 48985 33337 15649 Dec. 42715 27285 40967 836402 8193 52153 34522 17630 2 weeks ending(10) 2007-Nov. 21 40531 40007 39044 833688 7810 49711 32721 16990 74 Dec. 5 44359 44160 42536 835284 9478 48359 34881 13478 38 19 38677 34844 37508 831790 6610 52080 32067 20013 357 2008-Jan. 2 46742 11435 44349 842249 9504 53819 37238 16581 39 16p 39988 -1389 38275 833994 7949 51441 32039 19402 99 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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-Dec. 43362 43171 41554 818399 2007-Jan. 44619 44408 43113 816799 Feb. 42711 42682 41214 812909 Mar. 40794 40740 39159 813940 Apr. 42597 42518 41072 815954 May 44135 44032 42699 818599 June 43736 43549 42034 820033 July 42828 42566 41164 822062 Aug. 44728 43753 39906 823101 Sep. 42202 40635 40460 819869 Oct. 41612 41357 40161 821880 Nov. 42007 41641 40331 826683 Dec. 42794 27363 41046 829859 2 weeks ending(6) 2007-Nov. 21 40669 40145 39182 827367 Dec. 5 44517 44318 42694 828877 19 38817 34984 37649 825283 2008-Jan. 2 46715 11408 44322 835607 16p 39968 -1408 38256 827320 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.
