The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has pursued a common currency since the 1980s. The ECO was formally targeted for launch in 2020, then postponed repeatedly.
On paper, a single currency promises easier trade, lower transaction costs, and stronger regional integration. In practice, the project sits at the intersection of sovereignty, power, legacy colonial systems, and modern geopolitics—especially the enduring role of the CFA franc and competing national interests.
