  • a structural change scenario where fourteen African countries retain their monetary unit: ls accompanying measures progressively lead to ensure the convertibility of their currency.

Monetary policy and the contribution of the EC must be to inflichir the trend scenario of the adjustment of the regime of this zone to a more flexible regime around a structure and integrated and autonomous institutions.
