Credit Tightens as Fed Orders Higher Bank Reserves
Washington reports the Federal Reserve Board ordered member banks to boost reserves by 0.5 percent on deposits over 5 million, effective Jan 11. The move trims about 530 million from loanable funds, with larger banks facing a 17 percent reserve level and smaller banks 12.5 percent for deposits over 5 million.
