SUMMARY:

A. Overview—Each year, as required
by the Monetary Control Act of 1980,
the Reserve Banks set fees for priced
services provided to depository
institutions. These fees are set to
recover, over the long run, all direct and
indirect costs and imputed costs,
including financing costs, taxes, and
certain other expenses, as well as the
return on equity (profit) that will have
been earned if a private business firm
provided the services. The imputed
costs and imputed profit are collectively
referred to as the private-sector
adjustment factor (PSAF). From 2007
through 2016, the Reserve Banks
recovered 101.8 percent of their total
expenses (including imputed costs) and
targeted after-tax profits or return on
equity (ROE) for providing priced
services.1
Table 1 summarizes 2016 actual, 2017
estimated, and 2018 budgeted costrecovery rates for all priced services.
Cost recovery is estimated to be 102.6
percent in 2017 and budgeted to be
100.0 percent in 2018.
