Loanable Funds Market and Deficit Spending
< Prev
Next >

How does an increase in government deficit spending typically affect the loanable funds market and real interest rates?

A

An increase in government deficit spending raises the demand for loanable funds, which tends to increase real interest rates.

B

Government deficit spending has no effect on the loanable funds market, as it is offset by private savings automatically.

C

Deficit spending indirectly lowers real interest rates by increasing financial market efficiency through transparent fiscal policies and increased investor confidence in long-term assets, despite raising the demand in the short run.

D

An increase in government deficit spending raises the supply of loanable funds, leading to a decrease in real interest rates.
