Central banks in developing countries (LDCs) generally have less effect on expenditure and output than in developed countries because of: I. an externally dependent banking system; II. a poorly developed securities market; III. a low share of demand deposits in the money supply; IV. investment and employment being relatively insensitive to monetary policy. Which apply?

Correct answer B. All of I, II, III and IV
