The creation of the European Monetary Union in 1999 lowered nominal interest rates in countries like Italy, because:

  c. Markets had more confidence in the European Central Bank than they did in the Bank of Italy.
  d. All of the above.
  e. None of the above.

 b. The quantity of real loanable funds per time period rises and net nonreserve international borrowing/lending balance becomes more negative (or less positive).
 c. The quantity of real loanable funds per time period falls and net nonreserve international borrowing/lending balance becomes more positive (or less negative).
