Abstract: This paper gives a detailed account of the early stages of the process of financial innovation in France and Italy and its consequences on the demand for traditional monetary aggregates. For the two countries, the need to finance large budget deficits emerges as the most important factor that started that process. Nevertheless, its consequences on money demand were different. In the case of France, the introduction of new types of financial assets accounts well for the overprediction of money demand; in the case of Italy, it does not.
