| Depository institutions with reserves often lend such reserves, to institutions in need of reserves, through the federal funds market. Bank consolidation may also have reduced overall uncertainty about payment flows, although available data do not substantiate any decline in absolute volumes of wholesale payment flows or federal funds market activity.
