Money Stock Revisions

The Federal Reserve revised its measures of the money stock and their components to incorporate updated seasonal factors and a new quarterly benchmark.

This release includes seasonally adjusted measures of the monetary aggregates and components produced with revised seasonal factors, which were derived from data through December 2018 and estimated using the Census Bureau's X-13ARIMA-SEATS seasonal adjustment program. 1 The updated seasonal factors resulted in minor revisions to the growth rates of seasonally adjusted M2 for individual months in 2018, and they slightly decreased the growth rate for seasonally adjusted M2 in the first half of 2018 and slightly increased it in the second half of 2018.

The quarterly benchmark incorporates revisions from several sources. Revisions to weekly deposit data begin in 2016. Revisions to deposit data reported in the quarterly deposit reports and deposit data from Call Reports for banks and thrift institutions that are not weekly or quarterly deposit reporters start in 2017. 2 In addition, this benchmark incorporates data from Call Reports on the amount of small-denomination time deposits held in individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and Keogh accounts; the associated revisions to deposit data start in 2018. Likewise, it incorporates revisions to IRA and Keogh balances held at retail and institutional money market mutual funds; the associated revisions to data on money market mutual funds begin in 2007. In addition, this release incorporates the receipt of historical information from other sources of data.

The effects of both the revisions to seasonal factors and the new quarterly benchmark on the growth rates of M1 and M2 are outlined in appendix tables 6 and 7.

Historical data, updated each week, are available with the H.6 statistical release at www.federalreserve.gov/econresdata/statisticsdata.htm.

  1. M1 consists of (1) currency outside the U.S. Treasury, Federal Reserve Banks, and the vaults of depository institutions; (2) traveler's checks of nonbank issuers; (3) demand deposits at commercial banks (excluding those amounts held by depository institutions, the U.S. government, and foreign banks and official institutions) less cash items in the process of collection and Federal Reserve float; and (4) other checkable deposits (OCDs), consisting of negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW) and automatic transfer service (ATS) accounts at depository institutions, credit union share draft accounts, and demand deposits at thrift institutions. Seasonally adjusted M1 is constructed by summing currency, traveler's checks, demand deposits, and OCDs, each seasonally adjusted separately.
  2. M2 consists of M1 plus (1) savings deposits (including money market deposit accounts); (2) small-denomination time deposits (time deposits in amounts of less than $100,000), less individual retirement account (IRA) and Keogh balances at depository institutions; and (3) balances in retail money market mutual funds, less IRA and Keogh balances at money market mutual funds. Seasonally adjusted M2 is constructed by summing savings deposits, small-denomination time deposits, and retail money funds, each seasonally adjusted separately, and adding this result to seasonally adjusted M1.
