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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2001-Feb. 39307 39256 37800 595517 6542 48530 32765 15765 Mar. 37723 37666 36324 598195 6733 44127 30991 13136 Apr. 38589 38538 37312 601841 6860 43672 31729 11943 May 39374 39161 38355 605475 7604 43267 31771 11497 June 38217 37988 36855 608812 7043 43139 31174 11966 July 39337 39054 37929 615577 7693 43910 31644 12266 Aug. 39668 39484 38459 622038 7578 44007 32090 11917 Sep. 57567 54182 38549 645753 25633 43436 31934 11502 Oct. 45061 44934 43739 636449 12552 45021 32509 12512 Nov. 40158 40074 38672 637865 8944 43065 31214 11851 Dec. 40955 40888 39315 648889 9059 43918 31896 12023 2002-Jan. 43474 43425 42069 653310 10009 45731 33465 12266 Feb. p 42097 42067 40723 654734 9278 45699 32818 12881 Two weeks ending 2002-Jan. 9 42313 42208 40651 657421 9747 44748 32566 12182 44 23 43215 43187 41971 651692 10646 43724 32569 11155 40 Feb. 6 45236 45211 43837 651517 9191 50352 36045 14307 61 20 41248 41211 39830 655110 8989 45422 32259 13163 92 Mar. 6p 41229 41207 39948 656488 9852 42696 31377 11318 113 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2001-Feb. 39336 39285 37829 588967 Mar. 37771 37713 36372 591365 Apr. 38653 38602 37376 594921 May 39455 39242 38435 598565 June 38315 38085 36953 601675 July 39454 39172 38046 608244 Aug. 39798 39615 38589 614557 Sep. 57725 54340 38706 638006 Oct. 45244 45117 43923 628354 Nov. 40339 40255 38852 629903 Dec. 41119 41052 39478 640061 2002-Jan. 43461 43412 42056 644287 Feb. p 42128 42099 40754 645533 Two weeks ending 2002-Jan. 9 42268 42163 40606 648412 23 43203 43175 41959 642625 Feb. 6 45258 45232 43859 642555 20 41278 41241 39861 645714 Mar. 6p 41270 41248 39989 647451 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/).
