The Federal Reserve operates with a sizable balance sheet that includes a large number of distinct assets and liabilities. The Federal Reserve’s balance sheet contains a great deal of information about the scale and scope of its operations. For decades, market participants have closely studied the evolution of the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet to understand more clearly important details concerning the implementation of monetary policy.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Over recent years, the development and implementation of a number of new lending facilities to address the financial crisis have both increased complexity of the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet and has led to increased public interest in it.
Each week, the Federal Reserve publishes its balance sheet, typically on Thursday afternoon around 4:30 p.m. The balance sheet is included in the Federal Reserve‘s H.4.1 statistical release, “Factors Affecting Reserve Balances of Depository Institutions and Condition Statement of Federal Reserve Banks,” available on this website.
The various tables in the statistical release are described below, an explanation of the important elements in each table is given, and a link to each table in the current release is provided.
Factors Affecting Reserve Balances:
In table 4, the footnote for the outstanding amount of facility asset purchases for MS Facilities 2020 LLC (Main Street Lending Program) has been revised to reflect the reclassification of loan participations to held for sale.
Upon reclassification, the allowance for credit losses was reversed and a valuation allowance was established based on outstanding loan participations measured at the lower of cost or fair value as of June 30, 2026, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The estimated valuation allowance does not indicate actual losses experienced by the program and will be updated on a quarterly basis going forward.

6. Statement of Condition of Each Federal Reserve Bank, August 12, 2026 (continued)
| 1. | Securities include outright holdings of U.S. Treasury securities, federal agency debt securities, and mortgage-backed securities, including securities lent to dealers under the overnight securities |
| lending facility; refer to table 1A. Mortgage-backed securities are guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae. Unamortized premiums and discounts are the differences between | |
| the purchase price and the face value of the securities that have not been amortized. For U.S. Treasury securities, federal agency debt securities, and mortgage-backed securities, | |
| amortization is on an effective-interest basis. Repurchase agreements reflect the cash value of agreements, which are collateralized by U.S. Treasury and federal agency securities. | |
| Loans includes primary, secondary, and seasonal loans; the Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility; and other credit extensions. | |
| 2. | Includes assets purchased pursuant to terms of the credit facility and amounts related to Treasury contributions to the facility. Refer to note on consolidation below. |
| 3. | Dollar value of foreign currency held under these agreements valued at the exchange rate to be used when the foreign currency is returned to the foreign central bank. This exchange rate equals the market exchange rate used when the foreign currency was acquired from the foreign central bank. |
| 4. | Revalued daily at current foreign currency exchange rates. |
| 5. | Includes items in process of collection, bank premises, accrued interest (which represents the daily accumulation of interest earned), and other accounts receivable. |
| 6. | Cash value of agreements, which are collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities, federal agency debt securities, and mortgage-backed securities. |
| 7. | Includes deposits held at the Reserve Banks by international and multilateral organizations, government-sponsored enterprises, designated financial market utilities, and deposits held by depository institutions in joint accounts in connection with their participation in certain private-sector payment arrangements. Also includes certain deposit accounts other than the U.S. Treasury, General Account, for services provided by the Reserve Banks as fiscal agents of the United States. |
| 8. | The Federal Reserve Banks remit residual net earnings to the U.S. Treasury after providing for the costs of operations, payment of dividends, and the amount necessary to maintain each Federal Reserve Bank’s allotted surplus cap. Positive amounts represent the estimated weekly remittances due to U.S. Treasury. Negative amounts represent the cumulative deferred asset position, which is incurred during a period when earnings are not sufficient to provide for the cost of operations, payment of dividends, and maintaining surplus. The deferred asset is the amount of net earnings that the Federal Reserve Banks need to realize before remittances to the U.S. Treasury resume. |
| 9. | Book value. Amount of equity investments in MS Facilities 2020 LLC. |
| Note on consolidation: | |
| On July 15, 2020, the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston (FRBB) began extending loans to the MS Facilities 2020 LLC, under the authority of section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act. The LLC is a special purpose vehicle that was formed to help ensure credit flows to small and medium-sized businesses and to eligible nonprofits. The assets of the LLC and the amount provided by U.S. Treasury as credit protection to the FRBB are used to secure the loan from the FRBB. | |
| The FRBB is the managing member of MS Facilities 2020 LLC. Consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, the assets and liabilities of the LLC have been accounted for and consolidated with the assets and liabilities of the FRBB, in the preparation of the statements of condition shown on this release. As a consequence of the consolidation, the loan from the FRBB to the LLC is eliminated as are any balances held at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) for the LLC consolidated to the FRBB. Treasury contributions to credit facilities are held at FRBNY until invested. Net assets of the LLC appear as assets on table 6 (and in table 1 and table 5), and the liabilities of the LLC to entities other than the FRBB, including those with recourse only to the portfolio holdings of the LLC, are included in other liabilities in this table (and table 1 and table 5). Net portfolio holdings of the LLC include assets purchased pursuant to terms of the credit facility and the amount provided by U.S. Treasury as credit protection to the FRBB appear as liabilities on table 6 (and in table 1 and table 5). |

As of June 30, 2026, the Federal Reserve reclassified loan participations held by MS Facilities 2020 LLC (Main Street Lending Program) to held for sale. Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), assets held for sale are measured at the lower of cost or fair value. As a result of this accounting change:
The previous allowance for credit losses was reversed.
A new valuation allowance was established to account for fair-value adjustments.
This valuation allowance will now be updated on a quarterly basis.
No. The Federal Reserve explicitly notes that the estimated valuation allowance is an accounting adjustment based on lower-of-cost-or-fair-value measurement principles. It reflects potential market value fluctuations rather than actual, realized credit defaults or losses experienced by the program.
