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-Nov. 40970 40735 39641 578975 6283 50817 34688 16129 Dec. 41655 41334 40348 607935 5263 60619 36392 24227 2000-Jan. 44235 43862 42215 604630 5171 74017 39064 34953 Feb. 42097 41989 40985 579208 5074 63770 37023 26747 Mar. 39752 39573 38547 577125 6515 48952 33237 15715 Apr. 40593 40289 39448 578333 7081 46456 33512 12944 May 41558 41196 40616 580088 7661 44643 33898 10745 June 39217 38738 38153 581436 6460 44560 32757 11802 July 39668 39098 38600 583986 6582 45473 33086 12387 Aug. 39486 38907 38471 583336 6875 45319 32611 12708 Sep. 39257 38780 38155 583482 6829 44807 32429 12378 Oct. 38854 38436 37725 584952 6782 45178 32072 13105 Nov. p 38780 38497 37588 588691 7147 44544 31633 12911 Two weeks ending 2000-Oct. 18 38103 37623 37073 585946 6502 45778 31601 14177 -10 Nov. 1 39250 38895 38056 584477 6976 44521 32274 12247 -34 15 37765 37575 36762 586593 6709 44631 31056 13575 90 29 39860 39480 38477 590960 7598 44537 32262 12275 60 Dec. 13p 37418 37259 36267 590539 7146 43450 30272 13178 185 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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-Nov. 41195 40960 39866 572012 Dec. 41889 41568 40581 600632 2000-Jan. 44232 43859 42212 596903 Feb. 42104 41996 40992 571863 Mar. 39764 39585 38559 570237 Apr. 40610 40306 39465 571513 May 41579 41217 40636 573256 June 39241 38762 38177 574552 July 39697 39127 38628 577189 Aug. 39517 38938 38503 576596 Sep. 39294 38816 38191 576792 Oct. 38895 38476 37766 578223 Nov. p 38823 38540 37631 581925 Two weeks ending 2000-Oct. 18 38144 37664 37113 579290 Nov. 1 39290 38935 38096 577717 15 37806 37616 36803 579735 29 39904 39524 38521 584284 Dec. 13p 37464 37305 36312 583749 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.
