Reserves and monetary base figures incorporate adjustments for discontinuities, or "breaks," associated with regulatory changes in reserve requirements. (For more information, refer to table 3.) 2. Seasonally adjusted, break-adjusted total reserves equal seasonally adjusted, break-adjusted required reserves plus unadjusted excess reserves. (Also, refer to footnote 2 in table 2 and footnote 2 in table 3.) 3. Seasonally adjusted, break-adjusted nonborrowed reserves equal seasonally adjusted, break-adjusted total reserves less unadjusted total borrowings from the Federal Reserve. 4. Excess reserves NSA equals unadjusted total reserves (table 2, column 1) less unadjusted 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, refer to footnote 3 in table 2 and footnote 4 in table 3.) 6. Prorated averages of biweekly averages. 7. Averages of daily figures. p preliminary 1 H.3 (502) Table 1a AGGREGATE RESERVES OF DEPOSITORY INSTITUTIONS AND THE MONETARY BASE Not seasonally adjusted Millions of dollars ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Other borrowings from the Federal Reserve(1) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date Total Primary dealer Asset-backed borrowings Term and other commercial paper Other from the auction Primary Secondary Seasonal broker-dealer money market credit Federal credit credit mutual fund extensions Reserve (2) liquidity facility ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Month(3) 2007-Sep. 1567 1345 0 221 Oct. 254 126 13 115 Nov. 366 315 0 50 Dec. 15430 11613 3787 1 30 2008-Jan. 45660 44516 1137 0 6 Feb. 60157 60000 155 0 3 Mar. 94523 75484 1617 0 6 16168 1249 Apr. 135410 100000 9624 0 21 25764 0 May 155780 127419 14076 0 47 14238 0 June 171278 150000 14225 70 75 6908 0 July 165664 150000 15204 107 98 255 0 Aug. 168078 150000 17980 1 97 0 0 Sep. 290105 149814 32632 35 87 53473 31877 22187 Two weeks ending(4) 2008-Aug. 27 168090 150000 17991 0 98 0 0 Sep. 10 169481 150000 19386 0 94 0 0 24 267861 150000 30478 14 96 54208 10880 22188 Oct. 8 543050 149072 59737 145 57 140879 133997 59164 22p 691147 263092 102707 2 22 121190 121918 82217 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. On June 26, 2008, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) extended credit to Maiden Lane LLC, as discussed in the notes to the Board's H.4.1 statistical release, "Factors Affecting Reserve Balances of Depository Institutions and Condition Statement of Federal Reserve Banks." Consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, the assets and liabilities of the LLC have been consolidated with the assets and liabilities of the FRBNY because the FRBNY is the primary beneficiary of Maiden Lane LLC. As a consequence of this consolidation, the extension of credit from the FRBNY to the LLC is eliminated from the Federal Reserve's balance sheet, and, thus, the loan is not included in borrowed reserves. 2. Includes credit extended through the Primary Dealer Credit Facility and credit extended to certain other broker-dealers. 3. Prorated averages of biweekly averages. 4.

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 Nonborrowed Required Monetary (2) (3) base (4) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Month(5) 2007-Sep. 42289 40722 40556 819967 Oct. 41554 41299 40094 821844 Nov. 41901 41535 40204 826597 Dec. 42716 27286 40947 829843 2008-Jan. 44038 -1622 42398 824416 Feb. 42775 -17382 41050 821916 Mar. 42702 -51822 39724 825559 Apr. 43489 -91921 41645 823378 May 45080 -110701 43069 826882 June 43900 -127378 41627 831976 July 44078 -121586 42101 839222 Aug. 44074 -124005 42086 840160 Sep. 102517 -187588 42474 900666 Two weeks ending(6) 2008-Aug. 27 46042 -122047 44001 839079 Sep. 10 44102 -125378 41847 842735 24 111276 -156585 42518 907667 Oct. 8 179436 -363613 43419 980881 22p 327543 -363604 45836 1142410 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 4). 3. To adjust required reserves for discontinuities due to regulatory changes 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. Prorated averages of biweekly averages. 6.
