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 Credit borrowings Term and other Commercial Paper extended to Term Other from the auction Primary Secondary Seasonal broker-dealer Money Market American Asset-Backed credit Federal credit credit Mutual Fund International Securities extensions Reserve (2) Liquidity Group, Inc.

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) has extended credit to Maiden Lane LLC, Maiden Lane II LLC, Maiden Lane III LLC, and Commercial Paper Funding Facility 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 these LLCs have been consolidated with the assets and liabilities of the FRBNY because the FRBNY is either the sole or primary beneficiary of the LLCs. As a consequence of this consolidation, the extensions of credit from the FRBNY to these LLCs are eliminated from the Federal Reserve's balance sheet, and, thus, the loans are not included in borrowed reserves. 2. Includes credit extended through the Primary Dealer Credit Facility and credit extended to certain other broker-dealers. 3. Excludes credit extended to consolidated LLCs as described in footnote 1 above. 4. Prorated averages of biweekly averages. 5.

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) 2008-Apr. 43488 -91921 41644 823379 May 45077 -110703 43066 826882 June 43890 -127388 41619 831974 July 44063 -121601 42090 839213 Aug. 44052 -124026 42059 840146 Sep. 102507 -187598 42450 900643 Oct. 314830 -333489 46924 1125957 Nov. 609442 -89343 50400 1435240 Dec. 821240 167675 53841 1659327 2009-Jan. 860655 297159 62410 1707649 Feb. 701242 118745 57734 1557797 Mar. 778119 166008 53485 1642471 Apr. 881816 323622 57434 1748336 Two weeks ending(6) 2009-Mar. 25 823646 218798 52383 1688780 Apr. 8 859399 263461 54611 1726044 22 918399 353040 56007 1785857 May 6 840213 332302 62752 1704968 20p 932960 378181 55888 1800452 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: Current and historical H.3 data are available each week on the Federal Reserve Board's website (http://www.federalreserve.gov/).

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.
