This year the government of Bangladesh has introduced a fiscal stimulus package that significantly increases public expenditure. Because the government has problems borrowing in domestic and international credit markets these days, it asks the Central Bank of Bangladesh to print money and buy government bonds, so that the government will have sufficient money to spend. Assume that the exchange rate is flexible and that the interest parity condition holds. Also, assume that the price level is exogenously determined and the conditions in the rest of the world remain unchanged. Finally, assume that the government's policy is viewed as temporary and has no impact on the course of the economy beyond the current year. How would this policy affect the levels of private consumption and investment in Bangladesh this year?

a. Private consumption and investment will both rise.

b. Private consumption and investment will both decline.

c. Private consumption will rise and investment will decline.

d. Private consumption will rise, but investment may rise or decline.

e. Private consumption will remain unchanged, while investment will rise.

f. Private consumption will decline, while investment remains unchanged.
