with a specific maturity date offered by the Federal Reserve Banks.

For more information on the Term Deposit Facility, see

http://www.frbservices.org/centralbank/term_deposit_facility.html.

Page 9: Reverse repurchase (repo) agreements are domestic open

market operations through which eligible financial market counterpar-

ties lend cash to the Federal Reserve Banks in exchange for securities

on the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet. Federal Reserve Earnings

Remitted to the U.S. Treasury is the interest income earned on the

Fed’s holdings of domestic securities, plus other earnings, less direct

interest expenses. Included in the latter is the interest paid on reverse

repos noted above. For more information on both of these series, see

(http://www.fms.treas.gov/dts/index.html).

Page 10: Current data appear in the Federal Reserve Board’s H.4.1

release. For more information, see

http://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/recentactions.htm.

Page 11: Current data appear in the Federal Reserve Board’s H.15

release, except for the Intended Federal Funds Rate. Federal Funds

Rate represents seven-day averages for the week ending two days

earlier than the date shown in the release.

Page 12: Yields on the 10-year U.S. Treasury security, Aaa- and Baa-

rated corporate bonds, and the interest rate on 3-year conforming

mortgages appear in the Federal Reserve Board’s H.15 release. The

interest rates on jumbo mortgages (typically, mortgages in excess of

$417,000) are listed in the Wall Street Journal.

Page 13: Inflation-Indexed Treasury Yields are the most recently

issued inflation-indexed bonds of 5- ,10- , and 30-year original matu-

rities. Inflation-Indexed Treasury Yield Spreads equal the difference

between yields on the most recently issued inflation-indexed bonds

and the unadjusted Treasury Note Yields of similar maturities.

Definitions M1: The sum of currency held outside the vaults of depository

institutions, Federal Reserve Banks, and the U.S. Treasury; travelers

checks; and demand and other checkable deposits issued by financial

institutions (except demand deposits due to the Treasury and depository

institutions), minus cash items in process of collection and Federal

Reserve float.

M2: M1 plus savings deposits (including money market deposit

accounts) and small-denomination (less than $100,000) time deposits

issued by financial institutions; and shares in retail money market

mutual funds (funds with initial investments of less than $50,000),

net of retirement accounts.

M3: M2 plus large-denomination ($100,000 or more) time deposits;

repurchase agreements issued by depository institutions; Eurodollar

deposits, specifically, dollar-denominated deposits due to nonbank U.S.

addresses held at foreign offices of U.S. banks worldwide and all

banking offices in Canada and the United Kingdom; and institutional

money market mutual funds (funds with initial investments of $50,000

or more).

Notes Cover Page: Economic forecasts are median responses from the

Thomson Reuters Weekly Economic Survey, which is sent out to 20

to 25 Wall Street economists each week (usually on Tuesday). These

forecasts are released on Friday—at which time, Thursday’s USFD

cover page will be updated.

Page 3: Adjusted Monetary Base equals the sum of currency in

circulation outside Federal Reserve Banks and the U.S. Treasury,

deposits of depository financial institutions at Federal Reserve Banks,

and an adjustment for the effects of changes in statutory reserve require-

ments on the quantity of base money held by depositories. This series

is a spliced chain index; see Anderson and Rasche (1996a, 1996b,

2001, 2003).

Page 4: Adjusted Reserves is defined as the sum of vault cash and

Federal Reserve Bank deposits held by depository institutions and an

adjustment for the effects of changes in statutory reserve requirements

on the quantity of base money held by depositories. This series, a

spliced chain index, is numerically larger than the Board of Governors’

measure, which excludes vault cash not used to satisfy statutory

reserve requirements and Federal Reserve Bank deposits used to satisfy

required clearing balance contracts; see Anderson and Rasche (1996a,

2001, 2003).

Page 5: MZM includes the zero maturity, or immediately available,

components of M3. MZM equals M2 minus small-denomination time

deposits, plus institutional money market mutual funds (that is, the

money market mutual funds included in M3 but excluded from M2).

The label MZM, or “Money, Zero Maturity,” was coined by William

Poole (1991) for this aggregate, proposed earlier by Motley (1988).

Readers are cautioned that since early 1994 the level and growth of

M1 have been depressed by retail sweep programs that reclassify

transactions deposits (demand deposits and other checkable deposits)

as savings deposits overnight, thereby reducing banks’ required

reserves; see Anderson and Rasche (2001) and

research.stlouisfed.org/aggreg/swdata.html.

Page 7: The asset groups are aggregates of the following categories

on the H.4.1: Short-term lending to financial firms and markets is

the sum of repurchase agreements, term auction credit, commercial

paper funding facility, central bank liquidity swaps, money market

investor funding facility, other loans (less AIG loan), and other assets.
