West African Common Currency (Eco) for an Accelerated Growth

With West African states intending to revoke and replace their national currencies with a common one (Eco), this book re-assess the convergence criteria with the view of accelerating economic growth. Proposed macro-economic convergence criteria in the book are challenging as compared to those of the implementing bodies (West African Monetary Zone and The Economic Commission of West African States). Eco when planned along the lines of stringent macro-economic convergence criteria as proposed in the book, will lead to the sub-region attaining the much awaited accelerated economic growth. Simply, 'Eco - A tough beginning for a juicy medium to long term gains'.
