H41: Change to the H.4.1 to include information related to the Bank Term Funding Program (BTFP)

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 include information related to the Bank Term Funding Program (BTFP). The Federal Reserve announced the BTFP on March 12, 2023, to facilitate lending to eligible U.S. depository institutions.

The BTFP began operations on March 13, 2023 and provides additional funding to eligible U.S. depository institutions by extending loans with a term of up to one year limited to the par value of eligible pledged collateral. Information for the facility is presented in tables 1, 2, 5, and 6.

Depository institutions are able to obtain liquidity against a wide range of collateral through the discount window. Factors affecting reserve balances of depository institutions (table 1) "other credit extensions" reports loans that were extended to depository institutions established by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The Federal Reserve Banks' loans to these depository institutions are secured by collateral, and the FDIC provides repayment guarantees.
