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 Other from the auction Primary Secondary Seasonal broker-dealer money market American credit Federal credit credit mutual fund International extensions Reserve (2) liquidity Group, Inc. facility (3) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Month(4) 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 0 Oct. 648319 244778 94017 38 28 114953 117457 77047 0 Nov. 698786 393088 95839 117 8 60655 71009 78070 0 Dec. 653565 438327 88245 52 3 47631 32102 47206 0 2009-Jan. 563496 403523 70436 39 1 33061 17745 38690 0 Two weeks ending(5) 2008-Dec. 31 627832 435513 86405 35 4 42078 24328 39471 0 2009-Jan. 14 562358 389096 78518 29 1 34834 20818 39064 0 28 565099 415945 63304 54 1 32367 15038 38391 0 Feb. 11 561332 412883 66000 20 3 28035 16046 38345 0 25p 588910 447563 65200 6 3 25810 12629 37701 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. 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-Jan. 44038 -1621 42398 824416 Feb. 42796 -17361 41070 821917 Mar. 42709 -51814 39731 825559 Apr. 43487 -91922 41642 823379 May 45075 -110705 43062 826882 June 43890 -127388 41616 831974 July 44059 -121605 42083 839215 Aug. 44046 -124032 42055 840149 Sep. 102507 -187598 42456 900649 Oct. 314834 -333485 46930 1125965 Nov. 609416 -89369 50363 1435217 Dec. 821135 167570 53723 1659219 2009-Jan. 860654 297157 62405 1705311 Two weeks ending(6) 2008-Dec. 31 855948 228117 57487 1697736 2009-Jan. 14 900921 338563 57432 1747488 28 860553 295455 67507 1702588 Feb. 11 673211 111879 61805 1521198 25p 728710 139800 55279 1584801 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
