I. Supplementary Information 

Private Sector Adjustment Factor, 

Priced Services Cost Recovery, and 

Overview of 2017 Price Changes 

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.
