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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1999-Apr. 43645 43478 42486 533491 9238 42166 34407 7759 May 44875 44747 43619 539984 10070 42590 34805 7786 June 42394 42249 41133 542818 8539 42623 33856 8768 July 41802 41493 40726 548065 7797 44080 34005 10075 Aug. 41871 41527 40742 550860 7802 44603 34069 10533 Sep. 41787 41449 40590 555185 7698 44447 34089 10359 Oct. 40702 40420 39549 562639 6768 47030 33933 13096 Nov. 40944 40709 39610 579016 6285 50754 34660 16094 Dec. 41643 41323 40332 607926 5260 60499 36384 24116 2000-Jan. 44304 43931 42279 604769 5207 73899 39097 34802 Feb. 42088 41980 40971 579138 5073 63746 37015 26732 Mar. 39756 39577 38531 576923 6526 48929 33230 15699 Apr. 40593 40289 39428 577920 7089 46444 33505 12940 Two weeks ending 2000-Mar. 22 39129 38922 38003 576673 6267 48679 32862 15817 -69 Apr. 5 40511 40322 38856 577085 7188 48594 33323 15271 64 19 39600 39232 38516 578091 6715 47133 32885 14248 90 May 3 41896 41620 40848 578082 7520 44591 34376 10215 71 17p 40850 40547 39933 583811 7622 44116 33228 10888 92 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1999-Apr. 43671 43504 42512 526774 May 44908 44781 43652 533116 June 42434 42290 41173 535881 July 41848 41539 40772 540979 Aug. 41923 41579 40794 543869 Sep. 41848 41510 40651 548126 Oct. 40768 40487 39616 555512 Nov. 41016 40780 39682 571891 Dec. 41719 41398 40407 600457 2000-Jan. 44294 43921 42269 597034 Feb. 42099 41991 40982 571798 Mar. 39776 39597 38550 570046 Apr. 40619 40315 39454 571114 Two weeks ending 2000-Mar. 22 39148 38941 38022 569838 Apr. 5 40534 40345 38880 570115 19 39627 39260 38544 571330 May 3 41921 41645 40873 571293 17p 40879 40577 39963 576918 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.
