Abstract: All FR 2900 respondents, both weekly and quarterly, that offer deposits denominated in foreign currencies at their U.S. offices file the FR 2915. The FR 2915 was implemented in January 1990 following the decision by the Federal Reserve in late 1988 not to object to issuance of foreign currency deposits at depository institutions in the United States after December 31, 1989. A procedure for converting the value of such deposits into dollars for reporting purposes also was established. Deposits denominated in foreign currencies are included on the FR 2900 for the purposes of calculating reserve requirements; however, such deposits are not included in the monetary aggregates. For this reason, the data collected on the FR 2915 are used to net foreign currency-denominated deposits from the FR 2900 data in order to exclude them from measures of the monetary aggregates. The FR 2915 is the only source of data on such deposits.
