Our short-term borrowings include securities sold under repurchase agreements, federal funds purchased and other short- term borrowings, including borrowings associated with our tax-exempt investment program, more fully described in note 11, and commercial paper issued under our corporate program. Collectively, short-term borrowings had weighted-average interest rates of 0.64% and 1.10% for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

We have entered into an agreement with a clearing organization that enables us to net all securities purchased under resale agreements and sold under repurchase agreements with counterparties that are also members of this organization. As a result of this netting, the average balances of securities purchased under resale agreements and securities sold under repurchase agreements were each reduced by $20.97 billion for 2011 and by $16.27 billion for 2010.
