For release at
4:30 p.m. EST
January 29, 2009

The Board's H.4.1 statistical release, "Factors Affecting Reserve Balances of
Depository Institutions and Condition Statement of Federal Reserve Banks," has
been modified to present information separately on liquidity-related operations
conducted under reciprocal currency arrangements with other central banks
(central bank liquidity swaps).  This release also reflects valuations as of
December 31, 2008, of the portfolio holdings of Maiden Lane LLC, Maiden Lane II
LLC, and Maiden Lane III LLC, as described below. 

Central Bank Liquidity Swaps

Each swap arrangement involves two transactions.  When a foreign central bank
draws on (obtains funding under) the swap line, it sells a certain amount of
its currency to the Federal Reserve at the prevailing market exchange rate in
exchange for dollars.  This market rate becomes the swap exchange rate.  At the
same time, the Federal Reserve and the foreign central bank enter into a
binding agreement for a second transaction in which the foreign central bank is
obligated to repurchase the foreign currency at a specified future date.  The
second transaction is done at the swap exchange rate -- that is, the same
exchange rate as in the first transaction.  The release shows the outstanding
dollar value of central bank liquidity swaps in tables 1, 8, and 9.  This value
equals the sum of the dollar value of the outstanding swap drawings, which are
valued at their respective swap exchange rates.  The maturity distribution of
these swaps is reported in table 2.

Previously, foreign currency acquired under central bank liquidity swaps,
revalued daily at current market exchange rates, was included in "Other Federal
Reserve assets" in table 1 and in "Other assets" in tables 8 and 9.  In
addition, each day, an exchange translation account recognized that the foreign
currency would be repurchased by the foreign central bank at the swap exchange
rate, which generally would differ from that day's market exchange rate.  If
that day's foreign exchange value of the dollar were above the swap exchange
rate, then the dollar value of the foreign currency holdings would understate
the value of the dollars that would be booked at the maturity of the swap
drawing.  In this case, the exchange translation amount would be booked as an
asset in "Other Federal Reserve assets" in table 1 and "Other assets" in
tables 8 and 9.  Alternatively, if that day's foreign exchange value of the
dollar were below the swap exchange rate, then that day's value of the foreign
currency holdings would overstate the value of the dollars that would be
received at the maturity of the swap drawing.  In this case, the exchange
translation amount would be booked as a liability in "Other liabilities and
capital" in table 1 and as a liability in "Other liabilities and accrued
dividends" in tables 8 and 9.  The dollar value of central bank liquidity swaps
valued at the swap exchange rates combines the exchange translation account and
the value of the swaps at current market exchange rates so exchange translation
amounts are no longer included in the asset and liability categories referenced
above.   

The Federal Reserve's current program of temporary liquidity swaps was
initiated on December 12, 2007, when the Federal Open Market Committee
authorized swap lines with the European Central Bank and the Swiss National
Bank.  The program has since expanded to include additional central banks.
Historical data on the current program of central bank liquidity swaps will be
available in the historical data tables accompanying this release at
www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h41/hist/.

Note on consolidation:
 

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) has extended loans to several limited liability companies under the authority of section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act. On June 26, 2008, 
a loan was extended to Maiden Lane LLC, which was formed to acquire certain assets of Bear Stearns.  On October 27, 2008, the FRBNY began extending loans to Commercial Paper Funding 
Facility LLC, which was formed to purchase three-month U.S. dollar-denominated commercial paper from eligible issuers. On October 21, 2008, the Federal Reserve Board authorized the FRBNY 
to extend credit to a series of LLCs funded through the Money Market Investor Funding Facility.  These LLCs, which became operational on November 24, 2008, were established to purchase 
short-term U.S. dollar-denominated certificates of deposit, bank notes, and commercial paper from eligible issuers.  On November 25, 2008, a loan was extended to Maiden Lane III LLC, 
which was formed to purchase multi-sector collateralized debt obligations on which the Financial Products group of the American International Group, Inc. has written credit default swap 
contracts.  On December 12, 2008, a loan was extended to Maiden Lane II LLC, which was formed to purchase residential mortgage-backed securities from the U.S. securities lending 
reinvestment portfolio of subsidiaries of American International Group, Inc.
 

The FRBNY is the sole beneficiary of Commercial Paper Funding Facility LLC and the primary beneficiary of the other LLCs cited above. Consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, 
the assets and liabilities of these LLCs have been consolidated with the assets and liabilities of the FRBNY in the preparation of the statements of condition shown on this release.  As a 
consequence of the consolidation, the extensions of credit from the FRBNY to the LLCs are eliminated, the net assets of the LLCs appear as assets on the previous page (and in table 1 and 
table 8), and the liabilities of the LLCs to entities other than the FRBNY, including those with recourse only to the portfolio holdings of the LLCs, are included in other liabilities in 
this table (and table 1 and table 8).
